Post [Tutorial] - Downgrading version 3.03 
here is clear-cut step by step directions on how to downgrade a 3.03 psp. this is directly from the downgrader. i did edit it a little bit and add pictures but is basicaly the same. here is the downgrader:
 http://www.pspbrew.com/?page=fileInfo&cid=&d=3736


1  - If you have a 3.03 PSP skip to step 6

2  - Download 3.03 update from here:                                                                           http://www.pspbrew.com/?page=fileInfo&cid=5296&d=3453

3  - Unzip and place the file in <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE

4  - On the PSP, run the 3.03 update from the memory stick under the Game menu.

5  - Delete <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE

6  - Copy the contents of the folder MS_ROOT from the 3.03 downgrader ZIP to
     the memory stick

7  - Unzip the 1.50 update to a temporary folder. The 1.50 update can be
     located here for download Rename the EBOOT.PBP to
     UPDATE.PBP and copy it to <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/ .   DO NOT
     OVERWRITE PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP!

8  - Load GTA LCS

9  - It should get to loading savegame, then the screen will clear to black
     and fill with a light blue colour, then the PSP will reset itself (if
     this does not happen see section below)



10 - Check that HEN is running by going to system settings, then to
     "System Information" and it should show up as system version
     303 HEN

11 - If it is showing up as HEN then go to the memory stick and
     run the x.yz update

12 - If you have an unpatched TA-082 or higher motherboard, you will be
     prompted to allow the downgrader to patch your motherboard so it
     can be safely downgraded.  The downgrader will not let you proceed
     without patching, if your motherboard requires it.

13 - Before the downgrader does anything to your PSP it will ask
     for you to agree to what it is doing, if you no longer want to
     continue press the Right Shoulder Button (R-TRIGGER).

14 - Once you have agreed to start the downgrade do not unplug the
     PSP, or try and restart it

15 - Once finished the PSP will ask you to press X, and reset itself

16 - If it comes up saying that the settings are corrupt, press x
     to continue, this will mean you will need to re-enter the
     settings for network connections into your PSP, otherwise go to
     step 18

(i dont rccomend this. i'd just use a custom firmware)

17 - Load the included NetConfigBackup application in your PSP, and select to
     restore, this will take the backup that was done of the network config
     that was done automatically during the downgrade.

18 - All done now  Smile   Hopefully you now have a 1.50 PSP.  Enjoy it responsibly.


Troubleshooting
---------------
- Ensure that you have the original GTA LCS, it should have a 2.00 update
  on the UMD, if it does not then it is a later version and can not be used
  to downgrade.

- If GTA does not load 3.03 HEN and it loads up a save game, try making
  a backup copy of all of the directories in <pspdrive>:/PSP/SAVEDATA/
  before deleting them.  Then try copying the contents of the 303 HEN zip
  to there.

- If when trying to restore the network config using netconf backup you
  find that it gives you an error on the downgraded 1.50 PSP, try adding
  a temporary network config, then deleting it and run the netconf backup
  again.

( i put this in a tut so if nybody has a Q they can post it here)

He asked me prior to making a tutorial for this and I told him at first that the readme was good enough, but then I suggested that he copy the readme and then that would give people a place to ask questions.

I don't see you giving credit to the original readme.txt though arto... tsk tsk tsk. Even though the good most of it isn't your own work, I think we need a thread like this... and seeing how in my opinion this is the biggest thing to happen to the psp homebrew scene to this date... I will make this a sticky Wink

Revise this and give credit where it is due arto

When I put the 3.03 update onto my PSP, it says "corrupted data" in the box next to it.  Is it safe to run, or am I missing something?
