Hacking How To Softmod (Hack) Your PSP

[loco365]

Alright. I'm on 6.20 PRO B9, according to my PSP, and I haven't checked for new updates for a while. Should I stay on my current CFW, or should I update to something that is better? And if so, what's the best option as of now?

If it's WPA2, the PSP only supports WEP and WPA.

It is WPA-PSK (AES). The PSP detects it correctly... but every time I try to enter the long-ass multi-character key, it keeps insisting a connection error, but it won't TELL ME what the error IS.

Don't know what's up there.

PRO-C.

PRO-C.

Alright. Guess I'll go looking around for it then. Thanks.

It's in this very guide.

Yup. Found it. Thanks again. c: Seeing as I am already on 6.20 CFW, I shouldn't have to flash back to 6.20 OFW, just run the updater, correct? I'm assuming that's a really bad idea.

 

[Rydian]

You should just be able to uninstall both and reinstall the new versions (since you'll want the new version of the permanent patch too).

 

[loco365]

Well, I'll run Hellcat's Recovery program to go to 5.00, then run the 6.20 updater, then run the new updater, just to be safe. At least I have some experience with Hellcat's.

 

[Rydian]

All you need to do is run the uninstallers for PRO-B9 to get back to 6.20 clean.

Big thanks for the tutorial. Worked perfect.

I have a couple used PSP Gos that I picked up today from GameStop. They came with 6.35 and 6.60 OFW installed, and I'm looking for the best solution for perma-modding them.
I've been out of the scene for a while, so this is mostly fresh stuff for me nowadays, and some help would be awesome.

Depends on what firmware you want. I was on 5.00 Prometheus and I updated to 6.60 official and then just installed the 6.60 pro b-10.

I'm not entirely sure, actually. Firmware versions are somewhat over my head, as I was last using m33-something on my Slim, forever ago.
All I know, is I want a permanent solution for the two systems. No temporary stuff, if possible, as one of them is going to someone that would barely understand the modded state anyways..

[edit] Also, it looks like the 6.60 permanent patch does not work for a PSPGo, so they'd need to be downgraded to 6.20..

Downgrade to 6.20

 

[Scathraax]

Downgrade to 6.20

Obviously. But do I need to upgrade the 6.35 one to 6.60 before downgrading?

Acording to wololo you need 6.35 or newer.
So no need to update.
Edit:typos

 

[Scathraax]

Well, the 6.35 downgraded just fine. However, the 6.60 is spitting out an error (CAAFFFFFCF7), saying a later version of the system software is already installed.
Everything I can find, points towards downgrading issues with this error message means this model is impossible to downgrade currently. Looks like 6.60temp CFW for this one, eh? Unless someone knows something a little more up to date and can help me out..

Lost it a while ago but I still got it installed. Thanks c:

Now if I could get FuSa SD working, that'd be awesome. I'd have to upgrade to 6.39 for it to work though. D:

How are you trying to downgrade?

I'm attempting to downgrade from OFW 6.60 to OFW 6.20, using the copy of Chronoswitch Downgrader that you have linked to in the instructions of this thread.

 

[Rydian]

Install the temp PRO version for your current OFW, then run PSP Ident and show us the screenshot it saves.
