Is it complicated to hardware downgrade?

even better, could you tell us how to do it and give us the stuff to do it?

@repop:Yes alot harder, ratrher than just downloading something putting it on the psp, and running it involves take the psp apart and reprogrammign the nand chip at hardware level. You have to have special tools as well.

Uhh.. sounds hard. I think id stick with a new MOBO if worst comes to worst

well if you comfortable installing a new mobo then you proably have the skills you just need the tools

If you can change a graphics card in a PC you can change a Mobo on a PSP. Changing a Mobo would be about a 1 or 2 on the difficulty level. Hardware downgrading a PSP is about a 9 or a 10.

You only need a Phillips head screwdriver to change a mobo.

You need a Stereo Microscope and Micro soldering equipment to do a Hardware downgrade also NAND Programmer or a pre programmed 32M flash.

Easy if you have the equipment and the experience.

O.K.

1) A working PSP with 1.5 f/w
2) A compatible 32Meg NAND flash

Step 1. Interface the 32Meg nand chip to the working PSP with a switch to switch between CE lines on the onboard PSP nand and the new nand.

Step 2. Boot the PSP with CE line selected to onboard. Run homebrew software to reprogram NAND chips in PSP's. Before it start flick the CE line switch to the external NAND.

Step 3. Reboot the PSP. It should boot up on the new programmed NAND.

Step 4. Repeat step 1 with the 3.10 F/W PSP.

Step 5. Boot PSP with CE switch selected to external NAND.

Step 6. Run homebrew program to back up flash to MS. Switch CE to onboard NAND before it starts. You now have a saved 3.10 flash with the IDStorage keys needed to run this PSP correctly.

Step 7. Run homebrew software to reprogram NAND as in step 2. This time program the onboard NAND.

Step 8. Reboot with CE selected to onboard. You should now have a 1.5 PSP with bad IDStorage. Run homebrew NAND reprogrammer and program only the IDStorage you backed up in step 6.

You now have a good 1.5 PSP with correct IDStorage keys.

Easy..

pspfixer, have you heard of the 'Magic Memory Stick files' and IPL SONY battery to unbrick?

Yes the files have been around for a while now. 6 to 12 months....

Memory cards have been left in returned PSP's multiple times now.

The magic is in the Jigkick (magic battery) and until the community gets there hands on it nothing more is going to happen with it.

Yeah..

I think i just bricked my PSP on IE firmware

Then we can watch the ingenuity unravel....

Or maybe have a comp to find a good app and then mass produce it? Is anyone listening... hello Sony?

mayb sony doesnt want to pay the money, because at the moment thier current stuff dont bring in any extra money
I believe same would happen would custom firmware unless more people bought psp's but still makes it hard for people to understand even with a psp
If I were one of these people I would be careful cause if Sony offered a job i would be very cautious when it comes to personal details as custom firmware is illegal.

IE = Increasing edition by becus25. Its an alternive to Dax's OE firmware. And its still bricked

@repop:what made yoou try it over OE?

A firneds getting a psp, through one of those flybuy points reward system knda things so im wondering what firmware it would be ,anybody else had one of these things, my guess it would be 3 or below, i thought that they would have lots of these sitting around because they wouldnt be sending them off every day?whgat do you guys think

if it's from a flybys rewards thingy, it's probably not that high firmware, cause they'd just buy a certain amount then give em' out when needed.
