Downgrade Better Solutions?

[Throwback_16]

Hi everyone! Recently i've been reading lots about people downgrading and all. whethers its 2.50/2.60 to 1.50 or 2.71 to 1.50, What i want to know, is it a better solution after you've downgraded your psp to 1.50 then upgrade your psp to 2.00 then back to 1.50 again? i seen people saying it is better but never caught the reason behind it. Hoping people can answer this question

I've searched around the forum and havn't found a thread like this, sorry if i've mistaken and someone has already made a thread like this before.

With one of the earlier downgraders (I believe the 2.5/2.60 one), many people suggested updating to 2.0 and downgrading back again to give a 'clean install' of firmware 1.5. You could also trick the psp into thinking its a 1.0 and then just install the 1.5 update, does the same basic thing.
There was never that many reports of issues if you didn't do this, so I don't know how seriously I'd take it. Guess it didn't hurt to be safe but the newer downgraders don't have the same issue.

If you have a PSP with one of these firmwares I would recommend updating to the official firmware 2.71 and downgrading from there, using one of these guides by evolve:

Make sure you use the right one, depending on if your PSP is a TA-82 version of hardware or not.
