| Well, this is just a theory at this point, but i am scouring the internet, looking for people who can help with it, and im making some progress. First, i'll start by refreshing some memories. I posted something a few weeks ago about TotalNoob's 6.20 TN-B (HEN) that allows you to "Down-Date" (the opposite of Update) to version 5.03 so that you can hack PSPs that are running OFW 6.20. This is basically how it works: -You install 6.20 TN-B (HEN) and included in the advanced VSH menu is a program that can extract the version.txt file in flash0:/vsh/etc/ from the update PBP file of any version update. -You put the 4.XX PBP file on your memory stick, and replace your version.txt with one from 4.XX firmware using the program i mentioned. -Once you "Fake" your version, your PSP thinks it is at say, OFW 4.05. -This allows you to Update (or down date) to OFW 5.03. -Once you down date, you can use ChickHEN R2 and GEN for HEN to get CFW. Now, here is where I come in I posted my tutorial on how to install 6.3x PRO on your PSP. First off, it is impossible to "Down Date" OFW 6.35 because Sony DELIBERATELY removed the modules where the error was to allow you to run a system update that is lower than your actual firmware. This is not the case (at least, at this point, i dont think it is) in 6.31. Once you install 6.31 PRO, you can use homebrew. This is where PSPFiler v6.6 comes in. In PSPFiler you can browse, open, and edit files located at ms0, Flash0, Flash1, and RAMMem1. Using PSPFiler, you can open, AND EDIT, flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt Here is the version.txt for OFW 6.31: - Code:
-
release:6.31: build:4614,0,3,1:builder@vsh-build6 system:56684@release_631, 0x06030110: vsh:p6579@release_631,v57952@release_631,20100726 target:1:WorldWide Proof that i can view and edit it. This is where it gets tricky. I am still searching, but i need someone to enable homebrew on v5.03 and use PSPFiler to open up flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt and copy it EXACTLY how it is written, so that I can replace my version.txt with the one that is included in the flash0 memory for v5.03. Once i do that, the thinking is, i can update from 5.03 to 6.20 and then use 6.20 TN-B (HEN) to go back to 5.03 (i cant go right back to 5.03 with TN-B because my PSP was shipped with (I THINK) 5.03, therefore, i cant go any further than that without TN-B), and then use ChickHEN R2 to hack it. I am still working this angle, and talking to as many people as I possibly can, and i will DEFINATELY keep you guys posted. I will be a PSP HERO if i can actually achieve this result, and there is no telling at this point whether or not it will work, or if i will brick my PSP. Once i have more info, i will definately post it right away. The possibilites are ENDLESS. |

| I think "Downgrading" would be the correct term. Btw I'm pretty sure you can just get the version.txt right from the update.pbp, you might want to get in touch with demon450, since he got the version.txt of a firmware that doesn't have a custom one. (I believe it was 6.00, but I'm not sure) |

| Well, all of this has actually been accomplished. The issue was NOT with Version.txt. The Version text thing was the easy part. It's a two pronged issue after you reach 6.20. You have to also Fake INDEX.DAT in order to downgrade. This is possible now for 6.20 thanks to Total_Noob and for 6.31 and 6.35 thanks to Davee. |

I wasn't starting anything, I was just pointing out the obvious, that Recover dude obviously supports the troll and continues the troll, but on me this time. |

| I actually agree whole heartedly with Waffle on this one, the comment hammer posted was unnecessary and retarded. At the point that I made this post, faking you version on 6.35 was IMPOSSIBLE, so if i had figured out an easy way to do it before Davee, i would have been a hero to alot of people. The funny part is, who has less of a life? the person interested in the PSP scene, or the person who makes fun of the person with an interest? you be the judge(s). |

| Its not necessary anymore, i posted this shit before Davee released his downgrader. Now that there is a downgrader, that can fake everything for you, you don't need this shit anymore. |
