Get it Now: Bug Fix for 2.71 Downdater/Downgrader

First thing you do is breathe. You might still be in a state of pure bliss since the news of a 2.71 downdater (downgrader) has reached your ears. Inhale. Exhale.

Second thing is to go over previous coverages of the 2.50/2.60 downgrader. If you've successfully got the first one to work, chances are high that you can achieve the same results with this latest one as well. The installation instructions are nearly identical since it's a port of the previous downdater, so more or less you're already familiar with the ins and outs of the installation process. Still, don't get too complacent, take all necessary precautions and follow given instructions down to the last punctuation mark to avoid getting your PSP bricked.

Last, is to read, understand and read again, the very informative article delving into the specifics of the 2.71 downdater before even thinking of attempting anything. Make a mental note of four PSPs getting bricked for gaming's sake. Think of your PSPs welfare, please.

Now that we've got all bases covered, let's get to the news. The same wonder team (Mathieulh and Dark_Alex) that brought you the 2.71 Downdater, has released a bug fix aimed at a bug that caused premature bricking if the hack to force the unassign/assign of the flash failed. They have also adviced all mirroring sites to have their files updated into this new one.

Thanks a whole bunch to SirByteMaster for the information.

Update:
  • Will this work on 2.80?
    Some commenters keep insisting that this works on the 2.80. Some commenters keep insisting that it will brick your 2.80 if you try it. A word of sanity: until the developer says that it works on 2.80, it's probably a bad idea to try it on a 2.80.
  • How do I turn off comments by unregistered users?
    FYI for Registered users: some of you have complained about all the spam (we're dealing with the worst of it but the comments are coming in faster than we can handle right now). You have a temporary solution: above the very first comment you see a drop-down menu next to the words "Unregistered Comments." Select "Hide" to hide all comments by unregistered users.

I already bricked my psp with the 2.71 downdater.

 » let me get this straight
This can only downgrade 2.71 and not 2.50 - 2.60? I no it isn't that hard to upgrade but that would be cool if it did work for 2.50 - 2.60. Anywho, on ps2nfo.com they have all the files for downdating including the 1.50 ones. Anyways, awesome file.

ug...I get so tired seeing posts by people talking about how terrified they are of downgrading. It's like they need their hand held as they go through the entire process, as someone tells them everything is going to be alright the whole time. You're downgrading a PSP, not having a baby. Fact of the matter is, no one is going to garauntee something won't happen to your PSP, you just have to take your chances like everybody else or live with a 2.0+ PSP.

   by taekwondokid (Unregistered) - 2006-09-02
 » WELL!!!
well i am thinking to try the last one... hope it works... i checked everything... and can someone give me a trustable files for the last one???
