Downgrading 4.05, PSP Slim 2004?

afaT · 07-05-2009, 11:18 PM

Hello everyone!

After a lot of research considering this firmware, I am very desperate to get a straight answer.
Will I be able to downgrade my PSP Slim Model 2004 firmware 4.05?
The impressions I get from reading tutorials and what other people say range by a lot. Either it won't work, or it will.

This doesn't necessarily mean using a Pandoras Battery. It can be anything I am looking for.

Thanks for any help given, and sorry if this is a bother.

you can search the forum for guides on how to install a custom firmware

don't listen to this retard, you can use chicken hen and hellcat's recovery flasher if you have a hackable mobo.

It was a second-hand PSP, with 4.05 when I started it and checked the version.

After chickhen is installed use pspiden to check your mobo version btw

Since it's model 2004, this motherboard is TA-088v3 and I have heard a lot of bad stuff about that one.
How do I find out if the motherboard is hackable?

Use chickhen then use pspident

And iirc all psp's can use chichen > cfw enabler if not above ofw 5.03

Potticus · 07-05-2009, 11:55 PM

afa use chicken hen then pspiden(tify) it will give you your mobo 100%

afaT · 07-05-2009, 11:56 PM

I'll look into it Potticus and Hitokiri, thanks!

One huge problem might be that I have no cord to connect my PSP to the computer. But knowing this in theory is more than enough.

Potticus:
I get your point but sorry if I ask: get my PSP mobo 100% what?

Thanks!

HUGE EDIT: Took away any text referring to a post which now have been deleted.

Since I'm new here, I feel I have next to no right in stating my opinion, but ...

... this feels unacceptable. Posting, deleting and editing in just a matter of seconds only makes up for confusions. Also quoting or referring to people which aren't present (as far as I know) is not making it any easier.

A PSP 3000 chickhen to cfw guide?
Feels like wandering in the dark, but I'll give it a shot, thanks!

the psp 3k and a 2k mobo are unhackable by Pandora and MMS, I quoted that douche bag because he was misleading and he deleted his post, if infact you have the unhackable mobo you would have perma bricked your psp

afaT · 07-06-2009, 12:21 AM

Thanks for solving that out Potticus, now things are more clear than before.

It doesn't sound too good hearing that it might be perma bricked (which is not what I want I assume).

So to find out which condition my mobo is in, chickhen is my saviour?
Sorry for the bother once again.
