PSP Unbricker/Downgrader. (DOWNGRADE YOUR 3.51/3.52 PSP!!!)

It's called Pandora's battery and it should (theoretically) be able to downgrade ANY PSP to v. 1.50 and unbrick ANY PSP. Read the full article at www.pspvault.com

As far as i am aware, all you need is a spare battery, a homebrew-enabled psp to convert the battery (borrow a friends or something), a memory stick and the necessary files needed to write to the battery etc. 

This will screw up your battery so it's best to use a spare. I think you can still use the battery to unbrick/downgrade though.

Holy sh*t!!! I was gonna say something like 'you must have read wrong' but then I decided to take a look at the Noobz website, and, I AM AMAZED!! Sony has now lost the war against homebrew, since this will work on all firmwares now and in the future. Thank You Noobz!

Re: PSP Unbricker/Downgrader. (DOWNGRADE YOUR 3.51/3.52 PSP!!!)

So now do you think sony are going to make a PSP 3? Or a PSP anorexic? (an even lighter version of the psp 2). this could signal the end of the PSP for all we know, unless sony change their hardware and stop selling PSPs that can be downgraded this way then there's no point for them to continue patching firmwares. They might even allow homebrew to run on the PSP (but i think it's highly unlikely)

Re: PSP Unbricker/Downgrader. (DOWNGRADE YOUR 3.51/3.52 PSP!!!)

Actually I wouldn't call PSP-2000 or 'Slim' as PSP 2. It's rather something more like PSP 1.2 or so... It didn't change that drastically. Sony could have done a very wise thing and  redesigned the kernel from the ground (different files and stuff) to make it harder to hack for the hackers. Now if you just can pop the files from the old one to the new one, you're all set.

Wow this is scary, I saw a dream last night, there was this odd desert and the sky was all black, and letters in the sky, when suddenly there were bricks rising from the ground. And then there was this big japanese-looking guy standing at the behind screaming "Noooooo!".

Hmm... Odd...

Yeah, i just saw this at pspupdates. Amazing! Anyways, you need a homebrew-capabable psp to convert the normal battery to a jigkick battery.

...But you can turn it back to a normal battery after the unbricking/downgrading proceidure at the homebrew menu.

Re: PSP Unbricker/Downgrader. (DOWNGRADE YOUR 3.51/3.52 PSP!!!)

Oh lol! I'm not gonna pay 50$ extra just to fix my bricks that happen like once in a year! If I happen to brick, I just ask my friend to get me a jigkick battery on his PSP with a custom firmware, and then I just place the right files in the mem stick with my mem card reader. And after the proceidure I'll just go to custom and turn the battery back. It's that simple.

Hmm... Now when I look at what I just wrote I really feel I just should get a spare (2200 Mha) battery and turn this one to a jigkick, and also a new 128MB Pro Duo... Well, thanks for the tip mate!

I'm not sure if you can convert the battery back. I think once it's a jigkick then it stays that way

Re: PSP Unbricker/Downgrader. (DOWNGRADE YOUR 3.51/3.52 PSP!!!)

yes u can get ur jigkik battery to normal , but i dont think its recommended, say its normal and u get a custom theme on and it FULLY Bricks... then u cant put ur battery back to a jigkik,,, see its better to have a seperate battery. memory card, just get a memory card reader so u dont need ur psp to read ur card to put files in@!

Re: PSP Unbricker/Downgrader. (DOWNGRADE YOUR 3.51/3.52 PSP!!!)

Of course you can get it back to Jigkick!!! The battery has it's own flash, which edited, can do bigh things for our handhelds. You can swap the flash back to  jigkick and back to normal as many times as you wish! But still, I recommend getting a 2200 mAh battery, turning the battery you're using now to a jigkick, and buying a 128MB Pro Duo stick and a memory card reader.

That's what I'm gonna do, but let's see Sony's counter-attack first!

Just make one. people shouldn't be selling anything, noobz released it for free. The only thing that should cost you is the spare battery, the memory stick and the PSP
