install / Downgrade Firmware
The 1.50 Downgraders in this post are only for 'fat' PSP systems.
The 'M33 Installer and update' files can be used to install and update Slim PSP already on custom firmware.
You can downgrade any PSP Firmware version using the Pandora Battery.
'Pandora' can update ANY Official or Custom Firmware version:
e.g Official 3.71, 2.81, 2.50, or custom firmwares 3.10 OE, 3.40 OE, etc.
If you have a Slim PSP or an Original PSP with Official Firmware 3.51 or higher
you will need to use 'Pandora Battery' to Install Custom Firmware,
There are no Downgraders for slim PSPs or firmware versions higher then 3.51.
You can find the 'Pandora Battery' guide here -> Click here
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Read the "Gathering information about your PSP" Section for more information about
what you need to do to downgrade and install custom firmware onto your PSP.
You will need winrar to extract the files you download from this topic.
You can download the winrar for free here: http://www.rarlabs.com/download.htm
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
/!\ Warning: /!\
Upgrading / Downgrading your PSPs firmware will write to the 'flash memory' of your PSP.
There is a very small risk of bricking your PSP when writing to flash memory.
All downgrades should be successful if you follow the instructions carefully and correctly.
Although you may be one of the unlucky few that the downgrade fails on.
By following this guide you understand the risks you are taking with your PSP.
Formatting your memory stick will erase 'everything' on it.
Please make a backup copy of any important files to your computer before you continue.
(Like the savegames in your \PSP\SAVEDATA\ folder and any video / music / pictures you may have.)
Note: After installing the required files to your memory stick, wait for about 1 minute before closing the
USB connection and disconnecting the USB cable, Sometimes windows will keep the data in memory
and will write that data to the memory stick even after the installation looks like has successfully finished.

What is Custom Firmware??
Custom firmware replaces your PSPs official firmware but it is not a permanent upgrade.
You can easily uninstall the custom firmware and to back to official firmware if you
don't like or don't want to use custom firmware anymore.
Custom Firmware has all the features of the official sony firmware, but also adds the ability
to load homebrew PSP ISOs and PSX EBOOTs directly from the game menu in the XMB.
so you can still play your original UMD discs, Music and Videos using custom firmware.
Custom Firmware also has an option to use 'No-UMD Mode' so you can run your PSP ISOs without a UMD inserted.
The 'Sony NP9660' No-UMD mode has the highest compatibility rate and almost all ISO games work with it.
If you have any PSP ISOs in 'DAX' format, you need to convert them to ISO or CSO files using UMDGEN,
Custom Firmware doesn't support the DAX format.
Your PSPs UMD Drive should be empty while upgrading / downgrading your PSP.
(except when downgrading from 3.03 & 3.50 you will need a UMD inserted to start the downgrader)
It is recommended to remove the UMD Disc from your PSP before you do anything in this guide.
If you don't have a USB cable but you have a memory card reader, you can use that instead.
when you see 'connect your PSP to your computer and make a USB connection',
Turn off your PSP, take the memory stick out of your PSP and insert it into your memory card reader.
When you see 'close the USB connection and disconnect your PSP from your computer'
Take the memory stick out of your computer and insert it into your PSP and turn your PSP on.

Gathering information about your PSP
Checking your PSP Firmware Version
Gathering information about your PSP
Checking your PSP Firmware Version
First you need to check what firmware version your PSP has:
To find your PSP firmware version:
1. In the XMB scroll to the left to 'Settings' (XMB is the main menu of your PSP)
2. Scroll down to 'System Settings' and press 'X'
3. Scroll down to 'System Information' and press 'X'
4. Your firmware version is what is written next to "System Software:"
If the System Software contains either 'SE' or 'OE' or 'M33' letters or your System Software is 1.50
(e.g 2.71 SE-C, 3.30 OE-A', 3.52 M33-3)
then you have custom firmware installed and can update to the latest version of
Custom Firmware by reading the "Installing Custom Firmware" section.
If your 'System Software' is higher then 1.50 then you will need to downgrade before you can install
'Custom Firmware', Follow the instructions in the second post on how to downgrade your PSP.
Checking your PSP Motherboard Model
This information is only needed if you need to use the 2.71 or 2.80 downgraders.
The Downgraders for 3.03 and higher can automatically detect your 'PSP Motherboard' version.
1. Open the UMD Door and face the screen away from you.
2. Look in the top right corner of the UMD Door.
3. If there is IC1003 written in gold on the top right then you have either a TA-082 or TA-086 PSP.
If there is no gold writing then you have a 'TA-079' PSP.
Here is a picture of a TA-082 PSP showing IC1003:

(Click the link above for a picture if you are unsure what you are looking for)
What should I do next?

Note: Your virus scanner may give a 'false' alert about a PSP.Brick virus or trojan in one of the TIFF files.
Before the 2.00 downgrader was released there was a 'trojan' being spread that bricked PSPs when run.
It bricked the PSP by writing to the flash memory and erasing some important system files need to start the PSP.
The 2.00 downgrader 'writes' to the flash memory using a similar method so the anti-virus program thinks its the PSP Brick Trojan.
You can upgrade to Firmware 2.71 and use the 2.71 downgrader as an alternate way to downgrade if you want.
Downgrading Instructions:
1. Transfer any important data from your memory stick to your computer and then
format the memory stick using your PSP, its in the 'Settings -> System settings' menu.
Note: Formatting will erase all data from the memory stick.
2. Connect your PSP to your computer using a USB cable and make a USB Connection.
3. Right click the RAR file you downloaded earlier and choose 'Extract files...' from the menu and a new window will open.
If you don't have 'extract files...' on the menu then you don't have winrar installed. (Download link at the very top of this topic)
Select My Computer and then select the drive letter of your PSP and click "extract"
(My PSP memory stick drive letter is Removeable Disk (E:) but it might be a different letter on your computer)
Winrar will then unpack the files to your PSP Memory stick, this may take a minute or so.
Once its finished unpacking the files, Double click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon near the clock
Select the 'Sony PSP USB Device' and click 'stop', on the next window click 'Sony PSP USB Device' and click 'OK'
You should get the message 'This device can be safely removed from your computer', Click OK to this message.
4. Close the USB connection on your PSP (press 'O') and unplug the USB cable from your computer and your PSP.
5. Plug in AC adaptor and Open the 'Photo' Menu. This will launch the downgrader.
The downgrader will show some numbers and letters on the top of the screen, this means the downgrade worked.
Wait for one minute then turn off your PSP by holding the power button up for 4 seconds until it turns off.
6. Turn on your psp and go to the game menu and launch the 1.50 update boot.
7. Follow the instructions on updating to 1.50.
When the update reaches 99% it will show an error "The update failed... (ffffffff)"
This is normal, just hold the power switch up for 4 seconds until your PSP fully turns off.
8. Turn your PSP back on. You will get a corrupt settings error with a blue background.
Just press the "O" button and your PSP will restart with repaired settings.
your PSP should then go through the setup process again. (set date / time etc)
9. Check the "System Settings > System Information", you should have "Version 1.50"
10. Format your memory stick using your PSP after you've done the setup.

4. Close the USB connection on your PSP (press 'O') and unplug the USB cable from your computer and your PSP.
5. Turn off your PSP by holding the power button for 4 seconds then turn it back on.
(This will give your PSP a 'clean boot' so 'HEN' will have a better chance of loading in step 6.)
6. In the XMB of your PSP go to the Photo menu then open the HEND folder.
Note: It may take a few tries to get HEND to load, the TIFF exploit doesn't load all the time.
If you have a 'custom wallpaper', try setting one as it may increase the chances of HEND loading.
See the 'Customize your PSPs Background Picture section for instructions on setting a custom wallpaper.
If your PSP freezes, restart your PSP and try loading HEND again.
If HEND successfully loaded, you will see a blue screen and then either:
Red: The files couldn't be written to the flash, you will need to keep trying as it doesn't work all the time...
Green: The files were written successfully, The PSP will restart and you can go to the next step.
If you want to check if HEND is loaded, check your 'system firmware version', it should read 2.71-HEND if HEND is loaded.
7. Run the 'TA-082_86_Enabler' from the game > memory stick menu if you have a TA-082 /TA-086 PSP.
The program will detect if your PSP is a TA-082 or TA-086 and will patch it to run 1.50 if its needed.
If you are sure that your PSP is definitely a TA-079 then you won't need to run this and can skip to the next step.
If you are unsure, check the top of the post, under the 'Checking your PSP Motherboard Model' section
Note: If you have a TA-082 or TA-086 and don't run the 'Enabler' then you will brick your PSP when downgrading in step 8.
8. Run the 'PSP Update ver X.YZ' from 'Game' > 'Memory Stick' to start the downgrader.
9. The rest of the steps are pretty simple, follow the on-screen instructions.
10. When you turn your PSP back on you will get a corrupt settings error with a blue background.
Just press the "O" button and your PSP will restart with repaired settings.
your PSP should then go through the setup process again. (set date / time etc)
If the psp screen stays black when you turn on your PSP,
Try pressing the 'screen brightness' button near the start / select buttons.
For some unknown reason the screen might get put in the 'off' position after the downgrade on some PSPs.
I'm not sure why that happens, but pressing the 'screen brightness' button seems to fix it.
11. Format your memory stick using your PSP after you've done the setup.
