Jan 3, 2011 Guide - How to downgrade PSP firmware 6.20 to firmware 5.03

Hello guys! How's your TN-B? I wonder if it's running well on your PSP? I hope so. As I explained in the previous post, TN-B includes a lot of new features. One of the biggest and best improvements is the ability to downgrade firmware 6.20 to firmware 5.03. Yeah, I know, you must wonder if this feature really works. So I have tested it and it really works.

Unfortunately, I'm only able to test it on my PSP 2000 (Hackable mobo). According to PSPGEN, this features should works on PSP 2000 (TA-088 v3) and 3000 too but they can't 100% guarantee about that. It means, your PSP has a possibility to brick while attempting this feature. You should bear in mind that if your PSP (TA-088v3 /3000) bricks, there is no way for you recover the brick. I don't want to scare you, but you really need to think about the possibility.

The good news is there are people who already tested the feature on PSP 3000. Guess what? They really did it and it works without problems. Maybe you wont believe me but it's true. You can CLICK HERE [PSPKind.de] to read their discussion.

Wah..what a long explanation. Actually, today, I'd like to share a guide : How to downgrade PSP firmware 6.20 to firmware 5.03 with 6.20 TN-B. If you planned to downgrade your firmware 6.20 to 5.03, this guide will help you.

Warning:

Use it at your own risk. Please be aware that the brick is possible.

Bear in mind that if your PSP (TA-088v3 /3000) bricks, there is no way for you recover it.

I'm not responsible if your PSP bricks, or induce any system errors.

Guide : How to downgrade PSP firmware 6.20 to firmware 5.03

Requirement:

PSP with 6.20 TN-B (Not for PSPGO) [Download HERE]
5.00 version text.
5.03 eboot.pbp [Download HERE]

STEP 1

Please make sure that your PSP is running 6.20 TN-B. If not, please download it at the link below.

[Click HERE for 6.20 TN-B Installation Guide]

STEP 2

The next step is I will show you a guide how to retrieve 5.00 version.txt.

Requirement:

PSARDumper [Download HERE]
5.00 eboot.pbp [Download HERE]

The first thing you need to do is dump and decrypt the 5.00 eboot.pbp. HOW? Please refer the guide below.

Click HERE for GUIDE: How to dump and decrypt PSP firmware.

After you got F0 folder, copy your 5.00 version txt in F0/vsh/etc

and paste it right into your seplugins folder.

STEP 3

Firmware 5.03 installation. You need to install firmware 5.03 into your MS.

You can refer this : Manual update guide

*This is manual update for 6.20. But you can use it as your reference.

STEP 4

In order to make the downgrade works, you need to set up your TN Vsh Menu

Press [SELECT] to show up your TN Vsh Menu.

There are 3 things that you to reconfigure : (Please make sure)

Fake index.dat = Enable
Protect flash0 = Disable
Spoof version = Disable

After you already configure them, (still on TN Vsh Menu) select RESTART VSH and enter to restart your TN Vsh.

Now, you can check your PSP System Software. You should be able to see 5.00 written there.

STEP 5

Almost there! We are almost finished!

At your PSP XMB, Game/ MS/ PSPtm Update ver 5.03.

Run the update and I wish you good luck ^^..That's all...

Dec 31, 2010 6.20 TN-B is now available for download!! - Total_Noob

OMG!! This is really fast! Total_Noob has just released new 6.20 TN-B and this update is now available for download. So let’s see what 6.20 TN-B has in store for us, shall we?

This new release is more stable than previous HEN, more plug-ins and homebrews applications are compatible with and fixed some bugs regarding homebrew launcher. The 4G mobo should works fine too. TN-B also features a few of new vsh options which are Fake Index.Dat and Restart vsh.

We've got one more unbelievable feature to hold you over, though! I was informed that 6.20 TN-B is able to downgrade firmware 6.20 to 5.03. Ahh..I guess you must be doubt about this feature. Yeah, I knew..There is a huge risk of brick on newer PSP models. But some people dare to test this on their 3k and can you guess what happen next? Some of them have done the process successfully, some of them failed. I think, we need some more time to confirm it. Btw, thank you so much Total_Noob. We love your work!

Source: PSPKing.de Wololo.net

6.20 TN-B Features:
Fixed homebrew execution crash on some PSPs (thanks to HacKmaN for debugging)

Added 4g model support (this will fix issues for most psp3000 users)

Resolved some important NIDs (this means more plugin and kernel homebrew compatibility)

Added FAKE INDEX.DAT to TN VSH Menu.

Dump whatever FW with psardumper.

Copy /F0/vsh/etc/version.txt to /seplugins/version.txt.

Enable the option and restart VSH, now your PSP version is faked. -> To downgrade just dump a lower FW. (I do not recommend to downgrade if you have a unhackable motherboard until it is proven to work. Downgrading is most likely useless, and on some models will give you a brick)

Requirement:

PSP with 6.20 TN-A (HEN) or Patapon 2 HBL [Download HERE]

Ahh. I knew this was going to come up, but it out sooner than I expected. According to HBL website, wololo.net, there are problems between Half Byte Loader developers.

Nov 25, 2010 Half Byte Loader working on Firmware 6.35 : PSP News

Something cool just happen. The HBL developer, neuron announced that he has found a way to make HBL working on Firmware 6.35. This awesome hacker cracks this firmware just after Sony has released it less than 24 hours ago. This is really great news and we can say, this is our side happiness since Total Noob will release his new HEN soon. Neuron also provided a video proof via youtube. We can see that neuron really working on HBL and he contributes so much about HBL recently especially on the development of HBL alternate menu. We believed this isn't a prank and he can be trusted. Someone from wololo.net also has contacted him to confirm about this news. Here, you can watch the video below.

Quote:

Half Byte Loader work on OFW6.35 : )

I will not release it soon.
Because 6.20TN will be released by Total_noob.

Maybe, the idea is not bad. This HBL should be our backup plan on the future. In the meantime, the hackers still make discussion about this HBL potential. Perhaps, this is a sign that PSP homebrew has no end. Best of luck guys.
