Because some guys asked me about a TUT how to Downgrade from Fw 6.3x, I made one.

Works on PSP 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 (newer 3000) or PSPgo!

You can downgrade with this downgrader from Firmware 6.39 to Firmware 6.20. From Firmware 6.38 to Firmware 6.20. From Firmware 6.35 to Firmware 6.20. And from Firmware 6.31 to Firmware 6.20.

Supported models:
PSP1000 [01g], PSP2000 [02g], PSP3000 [03g / 04g /07g /08g /09g], PSPGo[05g]


Unsupported models:
Nothing! (yet)


Identify your PSP model:

Nothing is easier than identifying your PSP's model:
1) Download PSP Module Checker v1.0 *SIGNED*
2) copy the extracted folder to PSP/GAME
3) Launch PSP Module Checker 1.0 via GAME » Memory Stick.
4) Now you'll see your PSP's model.

I tested it by myself on a PSPgo with Datecode 9C and Firmware 6.38 ;=).

For this, you will need:
- PSP 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 (newer 3000) or PSPgo
- a supported PSP model
-6.38/6.35/6.31 » 6.20 Downgrader By Davee, ported to 6.38 by someone. V3.1
-Official PSP Firmware 6.20 for PSPGO
-Official PSP Firmware 6.20 for PSP 1000/2000/3000/4000
-Official PSP Firmware 6.35 for PSPGO
-Official PSP Firmware 6.35 for PSP 1000/2000/3000/4000

           Tutorial

1.Extract the downloaded archive.

2.Ms0: (ef0:-) / PSP / GAME / copy the Downgrader to this folder.
   Ms0: (ef0:-) / PSP / GAME / UPDATE / copy the official Firmware 6.20/6.35 Updater (EBOOT.PBP) for PSP 1000/2000/3000/40000 or PSPgo to this folder.

If you have anything lower than an 07g place the 6.20 update in PSP/GAME/UPDATE.

3.It should look like this: [Image: dw638or639.png]

8.Press O to solve the problem and you're done.

Did you get a white screen?
Press Start + Select + Triangle + Square while your PSP boots up!

Updater problems?
Spoiler:
Hummm...did you get this screen?

It looks like your Updater eboot is not valid. ReDownload it!

Quote:Reasons Why You're getting "Checksum MD5 Mismatch"

most likely you
- downloaded the wrong firmware file
or
- named the firmware file incorrectly
or
- put the firmware eboot in the wrong folder
9. Congrats...now you're on OFW 6.20, hope you enjoyed it ;).

It took me 1 hour to write and test it and to make screenshots, it isn't really difficult to say just thanks :).

Thankx bro for the awesome tutorial:)
Quote:PSP 3000 = 07g / 09g, etc. Can not be used (with error display)
does this mean the 638 downgrader checks for the model??
Well, it should. Because who knows what dipshіt will try it a few months from now on a newer motherboard causing it to brick. There should always be a defined limit.

For instance if it's identified as newer than 09g (or it can't be identified) then it should return an error of some sort, or at least exit without making any alteration.
Cool, thanks for the tut.
thanks man...good tutorial
It detected my 09g without any efforts :(
You can downgrade on PSP 7G and PSP 9G. But your downgraded firmware is 6.35. If you downgrade to 6.20, your PSP will brick.
