Requirements

Instructions for downgrading from 2.80
1. Download the 2.80 downgrader files.​
2. Extract the archive and copy all files inside of "MS_ROOT" to your memory stick drive. If asked to overwrite any files, click yes.​
3. Navigate to the Photo directory on your PSP, select the HEN_280 folder. If successful you will see a pale blue screen flash, if not - try again.​

4. If you have a TA-082 PSP, execute the 1.5 Enabler program on your PSP. When prompted to alter an idstorage key, press X.​

5. Get the official 1.50 EBOOT, extract it, then rename the PBP file to UPDATE.PBP and copy it into the <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder.​
6. The program will exit to the XMB. Now execute the generic downgrade, which will show in the PSP menu as "Update X.YZ".​
7. Congrats! When the process is completed, you'll have a 1.5 PSP.​

no, 2.81 doesn't have a downgrader, you need to upgrade to 3.03 and use the 3.03 guide.

Have you tried setting a custom wallpaper? That helps some folks. Also, many report it fails quite often before finally working. You just have to keep trying until it finally does work. One person reported having to try it 50 times before it finally worked, so when it DOES finally work, be sure to do what you need.

After running HEN? Well you should see a pale blue screen then it will return back to the XMB.

Might take more than a few tries to get it working.
