i think you should use Dark_Alex's 2.71 generic downgrader.

which firmware do u have 2.71 SE-a???
another way to dowgrade i found out was to put the 1.5 eboot in the recovery folder and use recovery mode to run it,
i havent tested it myself .

I'm in the same predicament! I upgraded to 2.71SE-A because I wanted the browser etc, and I thought I could play ISO's on 2.71, but I now don't think that's possible? I've tried the recovery method to downgrade, but the PSP just shuts down. I've tried using Dark Alex's downgrader, but I get the same DADADADA error mentioned above!

So, it's just Lumines for me at the moment :(

Can anyone help?

Perhaps someone can post a zip file from their memory card with everything in the correct place for a downgrade? That would be great!

TIA

what do u mean you cant play isos on SE-A, i can play LCS without any problem,
in your recovery folder there should be 4 files, including an eboot.pbp, so you'll have to rename the 1.5 eboot as UPDATE and put it in the recovery folder. then just go into recovery mode and ......

Hey gzach, thanks for the reply. Would you be so kind as to tell us the procedure for playing ISO's on 271SE-A? Do I need to use Devhook? I've tried all-sorts, but because I'm a bit n00b I'm probably doing it all wrong. I'd rather stay on this firmware than go back to 1.5, but all I want to do ultimately is play ISO's!

TIA

Hi ibjaredu, thanks for the reply. I've already tried devhook, but I guess I did something wrong. I believe I need a special version for this SE firmware?

I've tried the 'Devhook launcher port to 2.71' from http://dax.lan.st/, but no joy. The PSP just turns off. There's no great instructions with it, so I'm unsure if I'm missing files. Do I need to put an eboot.pbp of a certain firmware in a directory somewhere? Would you be able to show a directory listing of your memory card with working devhook? (drop to dos and do a dir /b/s or something?).

Your help is appreciated!

The 1.5 version? Sorry to be dumb, but can you explain in a bit more detail? The only devhook versions I see are 0.44, 0.45, 0.46 etc.

Ok, I now have Devhook 0.46 on my memory card and all the crazy directories in my PSP\GAME folder. I also have a 'dh' folder in the root of my memory card, do I need to copy anything into here? Any eboot.pbp's or anything? All that is in there at the moment are folders for firmware versions, and flash0 folders for each one, then in there are text files, pspbtcnf.txt etc

Thanks again for your help

you need the 2.71 flash files. You can just use the ultimate installer for this.

After the installation is done copy the files located in PSP-GAME to PSP-GAME150

And i really cant help you much more becuase i have to leave for school in a few minutes.

wait let me get this right, you want to play isos on 2.71 SE,
so youll need devhook for 2.71, i used the 2.71 SE easy installer and chose the option to install devhook also ,
just search for 2.71 SE-A easy installer on psp hacks or qj,
ill post the links if you cant find it.

Hey Gzach, that's exactly what I want(ed) to do. I used the Ultimate Installer, and copied the GAME folder to a GAME150 folder and all is working. BUT, I did all this previously (except copying the GAME150 folder) and it didn't work. Unless I messed something up last time.

Anyways, I'm all up and running and happy! Thanks guys.

Just use the recovery menu read the readme file and u will understand urself hot to get back to 1.5!


Using recovery menu
-------------------

- To enter in recovery menu, press R when power on the psp.
The recovery mode lets to set options, and it lets to recover potential bricks, as soon as
the 1.50 bootstrap is intact.

- Toggle USB: It will enable/diable USB mass storage.

- Configuration. Currently there are only two options: skip sce logo and hide corrupt icons, by default
both are disabled.
If you enable "Skip SCE logo", you won't see that beautiful, (but sometimes annoying)
Sony Computer Entertainment logo when power on the psp (and in this way you also disable the autorun of
UMD).
If you enable "Hide corrupt icons", it will hide corrupt icons. Note that currently not all corrupt icons
are hidden but most of them. This setting can SLOW down the access to game menu if you have too many items.
This will be improved in the future, however the best way to hide corrupt icons is always to convert your kxploited
applications to a standard single PBP.

- Advanced. This setting shouldn't be touched by most users, since they are mainly for debugging purposes.
It lets to flash some NOT critical files to the flash from the directory ms0:/reflash.

- Run program at /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP. This is what currently enables to recover a
semi-bricked psp (e.g. the vsh doesn't show, but you can reach the recovery mode).
Despite being in the game folder, that program will be executed in 1.50 kernel, so if even 2.71
kernel is destroyed, that program can be run.

Because official SCE updaters don't work in that 1.50 kernel environment (because they need some vsh files
not available), i've included with this package a flasher that lets to flash any official update from
1.50-2.71 to your psp.
To use it, copy the files inside inside "flasher for recovery/RECOVERY" in /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/
and the official SCE updater renamed as UPDATE.PBP in the same directory, and run the program
through the recovery option.

Another alternative for recovery is to reflash the own 2.71 SE-A.
To do this, copy the EBOOT.PBP of 271seflasher to /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP along with the
DATA.DXAR file, and run it through recovery.


Read and understand!
