THIS GUIDE IS NOT COMPLETELY FINISHED! MORE INFO COMING SOON!!
There has been some wrong info posted about what you need to do to downgrade, install DevHook, and installing CheatDevice. The plan for this thread is to get the right info out. If you find any problems or something wrong, feel free to report it to me. I want this thread to be 100% correct. There are some things where you will have to flash your PSP. This means writing info to the place where the PSP stores the firmware files, PSP config files, and more. This is the most risky thing you can do with your PSP but if you follow the standards, you should be fine. Here is some info you need to know.
Tips to make sure you don't get a brick
1. Make sure your battery is at least 50% (100% recommended)
2. Make sure your PSP AC adapter is plugged in.
3. Make sure you don't have a TA-082 mother board or higher. TA-082 mother board check
4. DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PSP WHILE IT IS BEING FLASHED!!!!!
5. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR MEMORY STICK WHILE FLASHING YOUR PSP!!!!!
