Other than the generic 2.50 TA-082 Downgrader name, I’m nick naming it the TA-082 “Kick-ass” Downgrader! If you are a TA-082 user with a 2.60 or 2.71 PSP, you can downgrade back to 2.50 using the DAX generic downgrader.
So users of 2.50, 2.60 and 2.71 can all downgrade to 1.50… Or 2.71 SE-C!! You can choose 1.50 or SE-C. dark_thug gives a warning though: SE-C may lock-up while playing some games.
The catch? On 1.50, trying to change settings menu gives a Blue Screen of Death. This means you can simply not change your Video options, System settings, etc.
Homebrew, USB, Music, Videos, Pictures, Games; all remain.
On a brighter note, the BSoD could theoretically be fixed, using an app like X-Flash to flash a new system reg from a 1.50 user! Or, while making the dump, switch the 2.50 reg with the 1.50 reg. This is risky however.
The TA-082 Boards can also be downgraded to 2.71 SE-C! The BSoD will be gone. The catch again, you may not be able to return (to 1.50). If you can, it will most likely use the same update made to downgrade from 2.50. That still has not been tested.
Last thing, 0okm mentioned this before. Doesn’t matter if you choose SE-C or 1.50, you CANNOT upgrade again. It will most likely brick your PSP!
Instructions
1. Use the DAX generic downgrader to change your ver. to 2.50 if it isnt already.
2. Downloaded the 2.50 TA-082 Check & Dump v1.20 to dump your firmware.
3. Enter your settings in the executable.
4. It will generate the downgrader. Copy the folder ‘UPDATE’ (the folder it makes) to x:/PSP/GAME
5. download eLoader and put it on your PSP. Load it from the photo menu.
6. Choose ‘UPDATE’ from the eLoader menu. This wil begin the downgrader. It will patch your bootstrap to make it a 1.5.
7.Reboot your PSP AFTER it has finished COMPLETELY! You should get a blue
screen. Hit O and restore your settings.
I can not stress this enough: If you do not know what you are doing, don’t attempt this! There is a high chance of bricking your PSP! Use at your own risk!

Personally i would wait because there are some harsh consequences because you may never be able to update ever again and bricking is always a chance, but that update never again thing is what got me. I would like to thank Dark thug(i think thats his name) for making this and keeping the psp alive and ginving TA-082 owners some hope.

Points: 210.76 Donate | | | A week? Ha! Works like a charm; I tried it on my Manager's TA-082.
A few notes:
- This program might only work on original v2.50 firmware TA-082's. This means that unless your PSP came with firmware v2.50, 0okm's check-and-dump program won't dump the firmware files needed.
You can do this without a dump apparently, it just makes it safer; but I wouldn't try it. If your PSP was a later version, wait and see how things work out for other dumping methods.
- The serial number is under the battery, not under the bar code on the base! According to reports, the code under the bar code bricks, it's not the correct one.
Take ALL precautions when flashing. This program is risky if not used properly. |

Run the TA-082 executable again and select 1.50, boot into 2.71 SE-C “recovery mode,” and select the newly generated EBOOT. | Note: This is taken from psp-hacks |

Points: 325.19 Donate | | I just checked PSP-hacks for my daily dose of non-PSP related news in the PSP section, when I saw that Dark_AleX has reason to believe this is fake. However, can pj please confirm that the downgrade was successful? 
However, DA has good reason, as the first result on Google for dark_thug comes up with his own page, which has viruses on it, they're even labeled as viruses! I can confirm that, as when I tried to download one to scan it, avast! stopped me in my tracks and didn't let me download the file.
