How to Downgrade From OFW 6.20 on a PSP-2001 Without a Pandora Battery

The Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) is a portable video game system. The PSP can play PSP games as well as select PS1 games downloaded from the PlayStation Network Store. Downgrading the PSP's firmware (operating system) is useful to enjoy useful features like playing games from the PSP memory stick. Downgrading the PSP with something other than a Pandora battery is only made possible with the Datel service tool. The Datel service tool places the PSP into service mode where new firmware can then be installed.
