I just bought a PSP today and honestly hadn't been paying enough attention. I got myself caught up on what to do with a new unit and when I got home saw the unit was at version 1.52. So (not even realizing 2.01 was already out or that the ".01" was the bad new firmware, I updated my firmware.

I got this thing mail order so returning it will be a pain and a wait.

Is there anything I can do at all at this point? Thanks.

wait for 2.01 to get cracked, crack it yourself, return the psp, or buy another one.

If you just bought it you should be able to return it for another.

Update to 2.50!!

No really! Update to 2.50. Why? Well for startes no ones likey to waste there time on PSP v2.01. And not without good reasion. v2.01 was a quick and lowdown dirty fix by $0NY to cloose the Loophole in v2.0, useing the Overflow Error in order to downgrade. So other then that, there was NO BIG CHANGE MADE TO v2.01.

V2.5 Has some new possibly hexpl01table Code in it. Who knows?! But, given that this Firmware has some remoatly usely stuff in it, even if you do have to buy a fraking $400.00(USD), Device to make use of it. Granted if $0NY is even leagly able to sell it to your reagion, is antother question. But hay it's still a new feature!

Besides unlike v2.01, v2.5 is the now current version. But, at this point I'd be happy for a simple and real v2.0 Hack (i.e. Hombrews' and Browsers'!),...

EDIT: To the OP:

Did you say you had a PSP v1.52? I take it your either in the EU or in OZ right? If so, why hasn't it occurred to you to just use that shiny new UMD Demo Disc, that came with your PSP. If your PSP Value Pack was anything like the One I got. The very first thing you should've seen was a BIG WARRING Flyer telling you to update to PSP v2.0!

Which no one here in there right (or worng), Minds would have dreamt of doing, given the then hype of a WAB Downgrader for PSP v1.5x. Which never paned out as we all should know by now!!

If you need to update a 1.5x in Europe or Downunder, ALWAYS USE THE ENCLOSED UMD Demo Disc. As $0NY are no longer offering a PSP v2.0 Download on there Website www.yourpsp.com anylonger. Not to mention, the mention of any direct lint to any Firmware(s), beit v2.0, v2.01 or v2.5...

what was the point of making v2.0 if v2.1 was not even hacked. they could of used one version to put their profiet security code in as well as put the location tv in.

They did it's called PSP Firmware v2.50!!

PSP v2.01 was nothing but, a quick and dirty HOTFIX to stop People who admittidly were stupid enough / ignorant enough, to update there PSP's to v2.01 thuss fixinig the Hole allowing you to run a .tiff (Picture Hexpl01t3), on the PSP, which would then allow One to run the PSP 1.50 update (because the .tif File has caused the PSP to beleave it was a 1.0 looking for an update. even though it was still very much in fact a v2.0!),. and then revert your PSP, after some very scary moments into a nice Homebrew / ISO loading PSP v1.50.

PSP v2.50 Has the same "Fix" as 2.01, it also likely has some more aswell. Now since the PSP v2.50 Firmware has indifference to v2.01 some new features tacked onto it. Like being able to play DRM'd Video Content and that LocalTV thing amongst some smaller faeatures. There's maybe a slight chance that One of these might get Hexpl01ted in the near furture.

Again v2.01 is was nothing big, and nothing anybody is going to crap over to get cracked not after the breakthough(s), in hacking v2.0. Not much point in it given that the main Avenue of attack has been closed to the Hackers. There maybe however a possiblilty of a v2.50 hack eventualy.

My only hope is that I'll be either able to split the Firmware(s) into a 1.50 / 2.x - ∞. Or at the least we should be so lucky to have a Homebrew Modchip to run Homebrew on. Then $0NY can keep bouncing there New Firmwares all they'd like!!
