Where do you get the downgrader files? Does the updater download them?

This thread should get interesting! Let everyone know if you get it working people!

Posted this news about 12 hours ago in the "Jailbreak Team lowers prices - Rewards loyal customers" topic.
Too bad the V1.1 updater isn't working for me (and others). It downloads the fla file but when I try to flash nothing happens. The LED should become green but stays red/green so it isn't flashed. Also there is no modded pupfile in their download section?
And please don't start asking if my PSJB device is real. I know for 110% that it is the original.

why try to downgrade ? why not find a way to hack 3.50 ? or real fake 3.50 ?
anyways, i think this is not the right way for the future of the ps3hack...
11-29-2010
05:15 PM
Maybe this is the way to install CFW later.
And for everybody complaining about the future of the jailbreak because they can't play 3.50 games. Please go to a gamers site. This is the homebrew and dev site. We have more joy in hacking, experimenting and developing for the PS3 then in gaming (and yes I like to game too
11-29-2010
05:21 PM
This downgrader is probably better in the long run for this scene, as most of the new people fail to realise is, that the downgrader is able to write to dev_flash, which means ultimately, CFW :D Ive said this exact same comment in a few posts before, but i think it still applys now.
We will also get to play with Service Mode too.
At the moment, the scene isnt moving because the downgrader isnt available to all 44,000 customers, or however many there are.
Once it becomes opensource, and the dev's get their hands on it, we can then downgrade to version X.X or however low your fw was when you first got it, then we can look for exploits in the lower firwares, make tools like HellCats recovery flasher, really cool stuff like that. Perhaps port some cool programs from the PSP Scene.
It will take time to get to 3.50 CFW,(we may never even see that, although with cfw, we can take off the locks that sony have weilded on to the ps3...)
once we have our hands on the downgrader we could update to 3.50 play the games then revert back down to the hackable firmwares, so everyone will be happy
Then we can really blow this beast wide open :D
Thats just my 2 pennies. :D
11-29-2010
06:12 PM
nice i wait for the open source version with glee
11-29-2010
06:47 PM
guess i will buy a new ps3 and downgrade it hopefully it has firmware 3.41
11-29-2010
07:10 PM
downloading the update files is impossible at the moment because of to much traffic.
Well, the fla file I downloaded was 14k so I don't see what is making so much traffic, even if a couple of 1000 people download such a small file, if you have a professional hosting service it shouldn't be a problem I think.
Maybe it is possible they took the server offline because off a bug ? A reseller on another site says it is best to wait 2 days and try again ... Well, this time-line indicates a repair to me, not to much traffic.
11-29-2010
07:45 PM
i kno my jailbreak is real i get the serial number but this is rediculous
error message
"The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:00:57.2328418. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout."
11-29-2010
07:56 PM
Yes, that is the error everybody gets at this moment.
11-29-2010
08:29 PM
Well, this sounds very promising.... So i think i'll take the bold step and update to 3.50, to get back online, with high hopes for a working downgrader.

Can i get some of your opinions, about wrether or not you guys think the PS Downgrader will be avalible for everyone and not just PSJailbreak users....
Anyways thanx in advance, Muzz
11-29-2010
08:40 PM
The first thing needed for an Open Source downgrader is a working original downgrader I think. and as the PSJB team improved their protection I think it will take some time before the devs can duplicate the process.

but for now we don't even have access to a working downgrader
11-29-2010
08:45 PM
lol the good thing tho oozic is that at least im not the only 1 getting this runtime error

and even before today and yestruday i downloaded the old update before this 1 does my jailbreak have to show all green when it updates cus it just stay red and green when i update i get my serial key and update but no green led it just stay red and green
11-29-2010
09:01 PM
Well, I did download the fla file just after the new updater was on their website so I already have the fla file for my dongle. but the problem is the lack of info.
They did remove the coupon option but I get a coupon error....
So I don't know if the fla file is the only file the updater downloads. I know there is also a pup file needed and 2 LV2Diag.self files. But these files are only important for the downgrade process itself and not for the flashing of the dongle. But the updater program says at the "update now" tab "choose the files one by one" which indicates there has to be more than 1 file.
So this is why I tried to download again this evening but with the error and also that my coupon is no longer valid
11-29-2010
09:29 PM
and hmm after this update when i got my fla file and hit flash does my dongle have to do anything special or just stay there only showing green and red leds? cus it didnt do anything as soon as i hit flash and it says flash succeeded as promoted on ps upgrader
And i think by tomorrow they will fix this issue damn you updater
11-29-2010
09:34 PM
For me it takes less than a second and the leds stay the way they are but the updater says it has succeeded.
11-29-2010
09:41 PM
Why is everyone talking like this is a "switch"?
Doesn't it take hours to backup your PS3, then hours to re-install everything?
(AFAIK, correct me if I'm misinformed)
Now this is great for people that updated by mistake or ones that really regret updating for one game. But I can't see myself going through all that just to play GT5 (or some other game) online and then doing it all again to use homebrew.
Again, an awesome step for the scene, but don't forget about the hoops you will have to jump through to up/downgrade.
11-29-2010
09:44 PM
question is... does your psjailbreak have a hole at the end of it ? like ive seen everywhere on the net like this Cause mines doesn't have it i just wanna know we are the original holders and we are in the same page here cause there's clones out there like crazy
11-29-2010
09:47 PM
And for the formatting of the HD, we don't know if there will be a solution for that. Maybe it is possible to switch the HD's ...

I know it for 110% sure it is the real one. It also makes the ps3 crash while removing it (the fake doesn't crash because of the newer payloads). and I got it from a very trustfull reseller here in the netherlands who had to stop selling any kind of jailbreak device. I think he got a letter from Sony. And it is also in the original transparant plastic box with white foam and the psjailbreak logo on the cover (no sticker but printed on the plastic)

I had that problem earlier. But server seems better now, so I finally got my FLA files. I have a different problem now when I try to apply the program fla.
device found and opened
serial ##########
couldn't open fla file
Flash failed.
anyone?

Edit: tried also again and now there are 2 files: also a upgrader_xxxxserialxxxx.fla file now !!
Let's see what happens now (damn I have to sleep
But which file first?
11-29-2010
10:41 PM
by the way u got msn or something cus it would be easier chatting
Edit:hmm i only got a upgrader_xxxserialxxx.fla but ill update again to see if i get the other file
11-29-2010
11:04 PM
ok, after reading a post on another site I had to test this and it seems right:

Opening the upgrader_xxxserialxxx.fla (15 bytes) with notepad the data in the file is "invalid request". Now this won't work for sure.
I got this upgrader file a few hours ago after the problems with their servers. Strange thing is the filename. Why did it download a upgrader fla while it download a prog fla first time.
I'll try one thing now. I rename the prog fla to updater.fla and see if that makes any difference. Don't think so because I don't think the name of the file makes any difference but I have to try.
Edit: no difference ...
11-29-2010
11:20 PM
yea i opened it and got invalided request so i reflashed my psjailbreak back using the new prog_.fla that i got recently without the upgrader_.fla I didn't try it on my ps3 tho ima sleep on it till tomorrow
edit:oh i added you on msn oOZic so tomorrow when i get up lets figure out wtf is psjailbreak doing LMAO
11-30-2010
03:31 AM
Any idea why the flash failed entirely?
"couldn't open fla"
11-30-2010
04:04 AM
If it is 14k4 then there are files missing I think. Don't know for sure because info/support from psjb sucks really. But I think there is a prog_xxxserialxxx.fla and an updater_xxxserialxxx.fla needed and nobody has a valid updater_xxxserialxxx.fla.
11-30-2010
04:20 AM
I love how they say 3.50 and beyond. That is total BS as all Sony has to do is blow an efuse in the next update which im sure they will do like they did with FW 2.60. Then if you try to downgrade with the efuse blown it will result in a brick. Watch just like the xbox 360 blew them for the jtag hack making it impossible on newer kernels (aka xbox 360 equivilant to the PS3 FW)

changed the config file of ps upgrader for some testing. All time-outs settings from 1 to 5. After 2 tries (lucky or did changing the config help?) the upgrader started downloading and it seems I have the correct files (updater.fla 8 kb and prog.fla 14.4 kb) but no change in flashing so still "flash succesfull" in green letters within 1 second and red/green Led.
11-30-2010

I have the original PSJailbreak but when i want to download I get this error message:

The fla that you can't read with notepad is encrypted. That is why you get the strange characters.
The upgrader_xxxserialxxx.fla has to be 8 kb. So if all goes well the upgrader downloads 14.4 Kb and 8 Kb.
Not that it works when you have those 2 correct files.
11-30-2010
01:55 PM
so... how did u change the config file? and your saying even with th 8kb file u tryied it on your ps3 and still no factory mode?
11-30-2010
03:43 PM
Don't border with the config file (ps upgrader dir), there is a new 1.2 updater that downloads the files ok (did it 2 times this evening).
Problem is that this updater has more bugs for me. It gives me this message now: "device found and openedserial: xxxserialxxxcouldn't open fla file".
Don't know if we have to continue here or at the new thread somebody started about the V1.2 updater.

Hi Guys,
).
I just bought PS3 320GB with GT5 Today, I have question if this downgrade software will work on it:
http://www.osctime.com/modchip-jailbreak-p-627.html (is it original ?)
Question is if this downgrade update for that jailbreak chip is working and can I update to FW 3.5 to play GT5 ??? (I have original disc and I'd like to play Today
Thanx in advance for answer.
11-30-2010

On what firmware is your PS3 at this moment? If it is 3.42 then you can't jailbreak anymore and you can update to 3.50. If it is lower then 3.42 the jailbreak is possible.
But for now there is no Open Source downgrader and looking at the problems with the official downgrader it maybe can take a while before it arrives. So only the official downgrader can downgrade a PS3 for now (if that ever happens... (sarcasm))

We would like to apologize for an error in our PS Upgrader. Please download our new version 1.2 that has had all bugs corrected. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. PS Jailbreak and PS Downgrade are now available for download. "
Just download it and testing it now to see.
12-01-2010

I think they do this on purpose. They delayed their delivery to their resellers and because they don't want to give us a headstart over the new customers they mess it up for us too.
And how about a manual for flashing? Don't even know which file to flash first
so we have also a lack of information.
12-01-2010

EDIT:
WOOT NEW ERROR MESSAGE ! lol at least it shows that psjailbreak team is on the move lol OoZic you want info? you go it as soon as i press download updates i get this but i already have the files so ima see if the flashing even works
