PSP "Chronoswitch Downgrader" v5 Released


Submitted by greg; August 31, 2011


Davee lays it all out... Detailed at his blog, lolhax, you'll find his method to downgrading any PSP to 6.20 ... even PSP-3000 09g models, which, before today, weren't able to flash lower than firmware 6.30. Turns out there isn't much difference between a PSP-3000 04g and 09g ... and after discovering those differences Davee has patched up his downgrader, releasing Chronoswitch Downgrader version 5. You can read the technical details following the source. Use Chronoswitch Downgrader on any PSP running firmware 6.35 or later, up to and including 6.60, to downgrade back to 6.20. And best of all, with this newly gained knowledge, 09g'ers will soon join the realm of perma-patched CFWs. Davee mentions however ... this is still considered experimental -- and one PSP was bricked during the testing phase (props to Gamefreeak100 for the sacrifice). So with that said we, and Davee, are not responsible if you render your PSP a brick. But for the record: "[Davee] identified the problem, fixed it and handed it to another brave tester. This time, it worked! 09g was running firmware 6.20 and for the last 12-ish hours it has been running fine. It retains the ability to update to >= 6.30 and seems very stable!

6.20 PRO-B9 Works. Perm-patched. Only that it detects my 09g as 04g. -.- Everything else works just fine, Thanks so much greg, davee, some1, etc etc etc [all devs out there!]

So this lets me downgrade to 6.20, I have a 9g model so I still have to wait for a perma patch, right? Also I am fine rocking 6.39 pro B8 and LCFW ME something. Why is the perma patch so important? All I have to do is wait 10 seconds when my system recoverys.

It's not, and I completely agree. I've been using 6.39 for a long time (willingly upgraded due to support issues with 6.20, actually). Pro B8 FTW.

Cool. I am gonna stay with what I got. I like being able to go back and forth between the OFW and the 2 CFW's, Pro-B8 and LME-8. If anything I was thinking of updating the pro loader to the 6.39 9B. Plus my Pops loader is already set up with all the PRX files. I thought about going up to 6.60 but decided against it when I heard the Signed games dont work on that version

are you downgrading with 6.60 running? For many of them it worked with 6.60 only!!

I have that same problem.


My guess is, the PSP you have brought 6.39 as its default Firmware.


The PSP 3000 0.9g's the people here were able to downgrade brought with a default firmware of 6.35. That's why it works for them.


However our PSP's are the 3000 0.9g with the default firmware of 6.39. Very different. We can't downgrade lower then 6.39 which means the only thing we can downgrade from is 6.60 back to 6.39. 


Many people don't realize this. There are knew PSP 3000 0.9g's that need a new downgrade system. This one will never work for it. I think the creator of this downgrade should be wary of this.
