When gliitch showed me the video, that was made by a reseller of the device, i immediately said fake, but that’s just sceptical me, a couple of minutes later, i noticed other sites were posting the story as news, here is some information on the PS Downgrader, which is brought to us by the original PS Jailbreak team:
The wait is finally over! New users above 3.41 fw its time to join in on the fun. Thanks to PS Downgrade, PS Jailbreak is now available for all 44 million users.
PS Downgrade is a software add on that connects with your existing PS Jailbreak device. In 1 minute or less you can downgrade your consoles firmware to any previous firmware.
Simple to install; just plug PS Jailbreak into your pc and follow the gui to install PS Downgrade. Works with all past, present and future firmwares!
Turn back your console to 3.41 to jailbreak with the worlds original PS Jailbreak, or even go as far back as 3.12 to enjoy Other OS (yes LINUX is back). Completely safe to use, and does not void your warranty. PS Downgrade is completely undetecable by manufacturer, there is no history or log of your downgrade.
Please note: PS Downgrade is ONLY compatible with original PS Jailbreak, no clones or inferior USB dongles.
FAQ from the site:
Q: Can anyone install the PS Downgrade or PS Jailbreak?
A: Yes! The PSJailbreak & PS Downgrade Modchips are a simple USB device. Simply Plug-and-Play. Plug in the USB PSJailbreak Modchip into the PS3 and follow the instructions. The whole process takes less than 3 minutes and is just as easy as loading a game, uploading pictures or any other of the simple tasks the PS3 can handle.
NOTE THE PS JAILBREAK TEAM STATE THIS IS A ONE TIME DOWNGRADE
Thanks to gliitch and OoZic for the tip.
Other sources of the news:
Eltorado
PSGroove
PSX Scene
Apart from the obvious mistake of downgrading to 3.12 for OtherOS, is it possible that it is true ?
And before everyone shouts fake, we all said the same about PS Jailbreak before it was confirmed to be real 
EDIT:
I guess its real
Well you can all stop calling it fake, it indeed is real and has been confirmed, by the guys behind PSGroove
By Mathieulh via twitter
To the people asking me if I know about the psdowngrader, yes I do, yes we know how it’s done, no I don’t intend on reproducing this.

i do believe its real for a simple fact they backed their word when they brought out the first mod chip... and now honestly they have no reason to lie to us theyve done us alot of good so i think we should do something in return and tell them thanks instead of being lame people using the word fake against them...
thanks ps jailbreak..
and thanks to the next person to release for our personal own modchip used device...

I mentioned this news about an hour ago here.
The update will cost $ 40,- ex $15 shipping costs so in total $ 55,-
It will not jailbreak the newer firmwares but only gives the option to downgrade?
The only option to pay is Mastercard and visa. (don't have one of them, I live in Europe)
There are some strange things about the video. Size of harddisk changes and the jailbreak device looks different in the last part of the video.
The one thing I don't understand is that for downgrading the FW3.50 PS3 has to recognize the psjailbreak device and as far as I understand that option is disabled by Sony with FW 3.42 and higher. Have they found a way to emulate a Jig board so they have access to 3.50 and why can't they use it for jailbreaking 3.50 then.
11-12-2010
07:55 AM
Just thought id do a little ping test
psjailbreak.com = 91.207.6.90
psdowngrade.com = 91.207.6.92
Looks like its the same people! why would they lie about this they have no reason to! 100% Real
And for the people trying to say you don't understand how it would work and therefore you don't think its legit, if you did understand then i could only assume you would have come up with the downgrader yourself, but you didnt. so shud upa ya face :thefinger:
11-12-2010
07:58 AM
IF THIS IS REAL, the guys from psjailbreak are dumb to publish this video so early because all the resellers will get a lawsuit from sony before they're able to sell a single psjb/downgrade package. Sony can even release a new firmware to patch this security hole, making the device useless.
But then again, like Oozic said, this video looks like a fake.

I just really hope they arent trying to score some cash, and that it will be true what they are saying, I can't wait to downgrade my ps3 and try out some of the homebrew I saw coming by on this site that I could not try because I updated...
i ain't ordering nothing till truth's confirmed! (and applyable thru a golden avr or such like)
Go PS3-hax for keeping me up2date!
11-12-2010
08:47 AM
If you first look when he goes into the system settings, you will see that he orginally had a 30GB hard drive. After he shows you the downgrade, his hard drive space all of sudden bumpped up to over 100GB????????????????? no need to say more. Little fishy about the video. Also, looks like alot of editing was done....piece
11-12-2010
08:49 AM
Yes, it does beg the question, if they can bypass the USB startup issue why can't they just offer a 3.50 jailbreak..waiting eagerly to see how this one pans out.
11-12-2010

Do you need already have installed a ps jailbreak from 3.41 or what?

Fake, look at the time on the XMB. It walks backwards throughout the video.
IMHO and dont know if the Service mode on the PS3 uses a different clock. But probably not.
11-12-2010
09:23 AM
really nice, now that this is out (or will be out in the near future) i ll take off my hat to them.
they are not good with time frames and promising stuff, but they in fact deliver stuff.
Edit1
It uses the same special PUP that is used by richdevx in his method, the difference here is that it runs on unexploitable machine 3.50, while the other runs on 3.41, but both allow us to downgrade to any firmware, RichdevX should release his files and method and PWN the jailbreak guys so they stop selling overpriced ****, although i do agree that this is a great step on homebrew for others that didn't catch "homebrew train".
11-12-2010
09:24 AM
just look at the dongle at around 1:30 in the video and look at the dongle at around 1:52
They are completely different? The first one is the original with red/green led and the second one has a blue flashing led on top? can somebody identify this device?
They say only the original device has to be updated so I see no use for using another dongle in the vid.
11-12-2010
09:25 AM
it formats yours hdd (it had 30.0GB left then after updating/formating it has 97GB) aw man looks like you'll have to backup all your data befor using this thing.

11-12-2010
09:44 AM
Im actually doubting how real it is, how can 3.50 have 30GB Free and 3.41 have 97GB Free.
If it formats. then that sucks >.<
11-12-2010
09:44 AM
@Greg,
I think its doubtful, there are a couple of things that don't seem to be right. First of the HDD space the most notable one. As for the quality of the video, all the PSJB vids where of higher quality than this. This could easily be a VSH edit. Further you only see the TV and PS3 separately and there is no footage of the actually downgrading process.
So I'm pretty skeptical about this.
11-12-2010

Ok its a scam, so is PS Jailbreak, no one is playing back ups, or homebrew on their PS3's, its all a hoax, its all fake, the PS3 was never hacked and all the posts about PS Jailbreak are false.............

09:50 AM
11-12-2010
09:50 AM
Ok guys just got to ask if the downgrade can be made from 3.50 to 3.41 why would you... logically 3.50 has better features eg. PSN access... oh wait that is the best feature. The quote is 'completely undetectable'. If the jailbreak can be made then you would stick with the FW that is still compatible.
I wont say it is a fake but I think this little factor may sway a few more people.
11-12-2010
09:51 AM
Yes it would appear that a 'clean' 120gb ps3 has indeed got 97gb of free space once formatted so maybe this is real after all...
11-12-2010
09:51 AM
This is good news for my friends who were stupid enough to update, ps3hax rules i will be anxiously awaiting some cool alternatives, still the price doesnt seem bad.

The system date from the 3.50 firmware is 1/1 8.05am
The system date from the 3.41 firmware is 1/1 8.00am
which means that the ps3 was upgraded from the 3.41 to the 3.50 and not the contrary.
(that's why the video was edited)
it's so obvious that this video is fake. not to mention that the guy uses 2 diff usb dongles when the site says u only need one.
11-12-2010
10:10 AM
i say again the method is real, i don't care about video cuts or that kind of stuf the method is real, if they are editing the video and people don't want to believe fine, but its real.
about it already being cloned its obviously fake.

If that is the case (system date) how do you explain a system update and 68gb worth of data being transferred onto the ps3 in 5 minutes?

im not going to commet in regards to weather this is the real deal or not, but if it is, sony are going to be very angry, and who knows what feature they will remove next? im loving all this progress the scene is making, i just hope piracey dosnt ruin the fun for every one. only time will tell i guess!
11-12-2010
10:16 AM
Please post your proof that it is indeed real, all i see is you saying its real over and over again, yet you don't show any proof to back up the statement.
Take a note, people are calling the video fake, not PS Downgrade, but by the video possibly being fake, that defaults PS Downgrade to fake.

Not sure how you know that it is RichDevX's method, only he would know, if he has a sample of the software.
Anyhow, PS Downgrade may possibly be real, but the video is questionable.
11-12-2010
10:25 AM
Well if this is true/fake anyone who bought the original PS Jailbreak would be able to confirm/deny it.
No point in crying Fake or True. Soon enough some member will be able to confirm or deny it.

so the jig has been cloned! LOL i think it's impossible...
a new exploit? and you would burn this possibility now?
please tell me why this should be real...
because it come from psj team? LOL
11-12-2010
10:32 AM
that is not what he said jack herer...
he said the downgrade migh be real! it has nothing to do with the jig being cloned that is fake.
11-12-2010

yes, jack herer, take it easy, time will come and show whos right and wrong!
No need to be like this. And He is being fair IMHO.

I can see a burnt e-fuse coming our way fairly shortly, I imagine that's the reason 3.10 or whatever is their limit.
11-12-2010
11:05 AM
i'm just considering that it's not possible to downgrade if you are over 3.41!
and yes, greg is being fair, but i personally think he's smarter than he look in last posts...
11-12-2010
11:12 AM
lol it seems you are slightly changing your tune, before you were shouting that it is fake, now you are hesitant and cautious with your post's.
As others have said, there is no solid proof that it is real or fake, only time will tell and as has been stated before, both sites have same IP.
Also if you know your stuff, DEV PS3 consoles can be downgraded from 3.50 to 3.41
11-12-2010
11:20 AM
i'm shouting that it is fake because in this "story" i read
11-12-2010
11:28 AM
Boards are made to discuss, you can always comment on anything you like, problem of this psjb, making too many empty promises, so basically no 1 could easily believe them again. I've checked RichDevX's screen on webpage, seems its kinda different from the video tho.. (maybe its HDMI aspect)?
11-12-2010
11:34 AM
Wow...
Fake or not, i was just wondering the use of this...
I mean, if you find a way to get a 3.5 in service mode, isnt it a bigger challenge than simply jb?
You know what i mean? If one has the possibility to downgrade from 3.5 to lower firmwares, how on earth cant he jb 3.5?..
Any explication appreciated.
Cheers

If it is real, then it will be ported to every device before you could get the thing shipped to you. Smart buyers will not buy this...other than the very smart buyers who will have it overnighted to them so they can try for the title of the first to port it to [name your usb device].
11-12-2010
12:12 PM
I thought the usb recognition at startup was disabled?
11-12-2010

11-12-2010
12:40 PM
one other thoughts..
they post the news now all around the world (like before and dont even shipping their products?) so let sony sees it and patch it on 3.51 or above?? They are stupid enough to make this happenning again? :P
11-12-2010
12:49 PM
well that is what has been said i have never seen anything officially stated on changelogs from the 3.42 and 3.50 updates (someone correct me if i am wrong)
as for jack herer i think you are confusing everything or you are not understanding what we say, cause we say one thing and you answer a completely different thing, to get things straight:
- The clone that people talked is fake and doesn't exist.
- I do believe this is real, cause it seems the process described when this downgrade was shown a couple of months ago.
- Greg and most people on the other hand are being cautious about it stating that the downgarde MIGHT be real, also saying that the video is dodgy, but saying that psjailbreak team has already released the original jailbreak and didn't lie about it.
Edit1
@idh888 well they say this is a full proof downgrader, so sony can patch whatever they want, the point is this use the service mode and sony pups, that they use to fix machines, if they block this stuff how would they fix their machines??
11-12-2010
12:51 PM
If they have the supposed "keys" to the core of the firmware they might be able to get it to work
11-12-2010
12:57 PM
this video just screams fake, if it was real then at least they would have showed the ps3 connected to the tv by the leads (or hdmi cable) and why is the actual downgrade process that would show on screen not shown either, all we get to see is a dongle with a light on it. how come they can get into factory mode in firmware 3.50 when all 3rd party usb devices are no longer working in firmware's above 3.41. last but not least the original jailbreak team have lost so much rep on the ps3 scene that most people see them for what they are money grabbers that will keep posting empty lies and fake vids juts to try and get rid of the remaining stack they have..................sudeki300
11-12-2010
01:03 PM
there's no chance that psj team have a new usb exploit or have the master key etc... they can't clone the jig. only exploitable console might be downgraded...
and when the original jb comes out it was confirmed working.
so IMHO this thread should be marked as [RUMOR]
11-12-2010

would this work with ps3 break to downgrade firmware

11-12-2010
01:53 PM
Something (minor i guess) does not add up.... yet.
The video has some discrepancies:
- too many cuts
- the main one is the HDD space difference from 1:48 mark on the video to the end, it was 30GB free, then at the end it showed 97GB
If the downgrade does work, does it also fully format (or require a format) of the HDD... that would explain the HDD space discrepancy.
Other than that, the MAC address seems right (unless if they figured out how to spoof it).
11-12-2010
02:02 PM
Hmmm... skeptical as I've always been with the PSJailbreak team, but if this is correct then that means I just sold my PS3 for nothing lol!
11-12-2010
02:10 PM
@Whipster, you might be right. Maybe it does require a format of the HDD.
11-12-2010
02:17 PM
Another thought that it could be fake:
-the video was made in reverse.... chronologically.
it already had 3.41 and then upgraded to 3.50
11-12-2010
02:20 PM
LOL
the video has been removed!
11-12-2010
02:30 PM
If its a fake, it deserves being on failblog.com simply because I cant believe the video maker thought of spoofing the MAC but didnt pay attention neither to sapce left on device nor time displayed in upper right corner...
You know, its like being accurate and thoughtful on one hand and being completely dumb on the other.
Spoofing the MAC requires skills, much more than simply changing time on PS3... So hell, why is this vid so mixed...
11-12-2010
02:30 PM
the video being removed is not a big deal, the original psjailbreak videos got removed for copyright infraction -.-'
about the hdd space, well its suppose to be like that the factory mode exists in order to recover any ps3 with software faults, so what best than format everything?? yeah pwople might loose his stuff but on the other hand they gain the jailbreak ability.

I beleive it could be real, the people at jailbreak have never really lied about making a product, they are usually talking out their ass with release dates though. they cracked the PS3, it's totally believable that this is real. this must be their way of saying that people with 3.50 can use jailbreak. however the one thing that bothered me is that "This is a one time downgrade". Why would it be only 1 time? it's not like the 3.50 firmware update is gonna be any different then it was the 1st time. the dongle should work as many times as you want.
11-12-2010
02:45 PM
plz add this in the first post xD

This means that FW 3.50 is JBen or someone has been able to sign FW3.41 as 3.50.
11-12-2010
04:11 PM
Is there anybody other than the person in the video who has received anything? The updater software (there is a updated version available with the driver-program included and a setup-file at http://www.sendspace.com/file/r8xngi) has a coupon option. anybody received anything from the PSjailbreak team?
Is there any info about if the payload gets updated? Or do we keep the default payload and have to keep watching the hacked versions get better and better? A downgrader option is nice but I don't need it and keeping switching between FW's is a lot of trouble.
For that $ 55 ($ 15 is for shipping and that shipping is sending a mail with attached files?? And I can use it once and have to pay again??) total I think I 'll buy myself a teensy board and hope for better times for my original psjailbreak and otherwise it is a nice collector item for the future.
but I'm really loosing my faith in the PSjailbreak team now. For that $ 40 I want something more than just a one-time downgrader. That just sux. There are rumours that a dev has almost a 3.50 exploit so why can't the psjailbreak team do this and only comes with this fake solution?

If it is one time use like they say then this could be down to 3.50 using a key that is generated per machine which is needed in the jig for it to work therefore an attempt to stop cloning an individual device. Maybe they have found the root key to this and can generate the code for individual machines.
Time will tell.

FAKE!!!! JK but thats what all of said when they said you can jailbreak a ps3.. Now look how fast the scene exploded.. Im gonna go buy some cheap ps3s while theyre still cheap. so whos gonna buy one so we can reverse engineer it? if they got smart they would make some sort of encryption where it cant be reverse engineered. Lol Somebody make a rockbox.ipod already for my nano 1g.

2/ A 6yo boy would see it's fake. The system date indicates 8:05am on the 3.50 firmware and 8:00am on the 3.41 firmware. The truth is that these arseholes UPGRADED their ps3 and edited the video to make us think it's a downgrade.
11-12-2010
06:30 PM
if you guys think its fake cause of the amount of space on the hdd.. maybe they just swapped them so they could install firmware of a fresh drive, plus the mac adress is the same so it could be real, i dont think the original jailbreak team would lie as because they did bring out the original jailbreak, and being called fake or liers isnt a good image

One MAJOR question (Yes, it has been asked in here)
If they are just selling a new software package (call it what you will) then they Must have broken 3.50 with their ORIGINAL JB Gadget to install/run it, or am I wrong?
11-12-2010
06:53 PM
nice to see the progress coming a long. if only i could detach my self from COD:Bkops to mess around with some brew....must...not...let it suck me back in...grr. nm, im out. however, great news for those people who updated back when this all started.
11-12-2010
07:06 PM
I am on 3.41 and my other PS3 is still on 3.15 with Linux so why on earth do I need a downgrader.
Dear PSjailbreak team, here is what I need besides you keep your promises about jailbreaking future FW's:
I need you to update your devices with the same or better options then the latest Hermes or other payload has.
At this moment I'm not able to install updates for games, unable to access PSN, can't patch games like COD BO to run on FW 3.41, can't use the device for my Fat 3.15 and am still on the original payload while all other "imitators and Chinese knockoffs" have upgraded their devices several times.
And all we got today was a crappy youtube vid. This really makes me
11-12-2010
08:01 PM
All this assuming PSJailbreak team actually did manage to let you downgrade PS3's which I highly doubt.
11-12-2010
08:17 PM
I would have to say that this one time use, is a real bad translation, can someone explain why one device that puts a machine in service mode once, won't put it twice or the number of times i want! that's technically impossible (keeping in mind that anything the jig has, isn't modified).
11-12-2010
08:37 PM
Well u Noobs are at it again..........
just like when PSJ Said the ps3 was hacked and all of u said FAKE.FAKE
well i got a hacked ps3..........Don,t u ?????
i really can,t say it,s real or fake because i don,t know the experience of the
PSJ Team or have the dongle to know for sure....
so all noobs saying fake Well where is your proof
if u don,t have anything solid then Just STFU and go elsewhere.....
Where are the other PS3 Hacking teams that actually do there own work?????
instead of waiting for PSJ to release something then reverse engineer it.....
from day one everyone basically shunned team PSJ from the Scene.....
in my books Team PSJ are the Top Dogs....
they Brought us the ps3 on a silver platter........
11-12-2010
08:52 PM
one way around the reformat may to have two hdd's, like for instance my stock 60 gig and my 250 with linux still on it ( but sadly i'm on 2.50 and still have that linux installed with no way to access it
firmware is not stored on the hdd, i can still hook up my 60 gig and it will restore the database but not reformat it. i can't imagine downgrading to access my yellow dog but the reformat erases everything, meaning a 2-3 hour re-install of linux! i would just slip in my stock 60 gig and reformat that hdd, saving my main vain drive.
just my thought anyhow. i could be very wrong.....
i do wonder how they were able to boot the usb when 2.50 disabled it.....
dong.
11-12-2010
10:36 PM
This vid is fake.
Even if the time and HDD space werent suspect you cant just downgrade in 30 seconds? You would have to wipe and reflash to an older firmware. On psdowngrades 'official' site all the links to any instructions are dead. Where are people going to get copies of older firmwares? Is there a list of games to use to somehow force a downgrade of the system via their on disc upgrade files?
Even if its true its asking a lot to fork out $55 and then go through all that.
Blatant profiteering if ever I saw it!! fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fakefake fake!!!!!!!
11-12-2010
11:02 PM
I guess we'll have to wait and see if its real. If it is real then this should open up the ps3 for CFW installation.

08:19 AM
when the first video came out a while ago, all people around the world keep telling that video was fake, psjailbreak was fake, and whtaever....when first video of jailbreak done via sixaxis came out, all the peole wrote here and there, that was fake....the gave us the opportunity fo jailbrake our ps3, why aren't we giving a shot to them this time??? before judging, just wait a few days
11-13-2010
11:18 AM
Ban these ****ing trolls already. How about we wait until we get some INDEPENDENT REPORTS TO EITHER CONFIRM OR DENY THIS? I don't care how many screenshots you took, or if you reverse engineered the video file and it says "OH GOD WE GOT YOU GUYS!! -PSJailbreak". SHUT UP. IT'S A NEWS REPORT. Obviously there's the potential of it being a false claim, but PSJailbreak hasn't really lied about anything yet, have they? It might take them a while to deliver, but when they do, it's always exactly as they say it is. This is exactly what they said they were delivering as well. They offered support for the above firmwares, then revised their statement to say that it was a downgrader solution. What do we have here?
SHUT. UP.
11-13-2010

Saying it's a fake because of the time is bit foolish, as the time is reset when you reformat your PS3.. Saying it's fake because you cannot format/reflash it in such a small time is also BS ofcourse, as it would be a very long long boring video, so they had to jumpcut a bit for that.. ofcourse not jumpcutting and letting it go on for a long long time would have been better for not being called a fake.. but then again, you propably wouldn't even notice if they had cut somewhere...
The biggest thing to say it's fake is because of the alledged difference in USB-stick.. (but then again, I'm to lazy to watch the boring video)..
11-13-2010
12:11 PM
the 2nd USB stick (which by the way looks like a plain usb mass storage device) is not plugged in the same slot than the psjailbreak dongle.
to me it looks like:
1) they jb with the dongle to service mode
2) there is no more constraint to keep the dongle plugged, so they unplugged it from slot 1
3) they put a plain usb key in slot 2 with what could be a .PKG on it to dowgrade
4) done
If the same video had been done with an avr, no one would have said its BS because of the stick... the firmware has to be stored somewhere, hence the usb key, no?
No, except the fact that they fool the system at boot time with a usb dongle (which was supposed impossible since fw 3.42 was released), i dont see any solid evidence of fakeness.
As for this boot thing: maybe the exploit is completely different from the "classical" JB.
Maybe sony didnt deactivated completely the usb at startup, which would be problematic for maintenance (obviously making their jig useless), so they just patched so that the usb overflow trick cant work but their jig still operates.
To me, psjb are releasing a new exploit taking advantage of a specific 3.5 security breach. For some strange reason (and this is what really strikes me and makes me cautious with this news), this exploit can downgrade but cant "JB". THIS is weird.
Who knows, maybe they finaly stole the jig and are dealing it...

They'll lie or say anything to sell their overpriced garbage! Has no one seen all this crap they've been saying!? I'm not saying this is fake, but I'm just saying not to hang on every word they say just because you already lined their pockets with your money! geez
11-13-2010
01:37 PM
What I find suspicious is the fact that the links to the installation guide and the backup manager 404 on the PSDowngrader site. You'd think that if this was legitimate they would ensure that those links were always available.
11-13-2010
01:47 PM
11-13-2010

well before we even got psjailbreak their site went down like 20 times, their videos got removed, the backup manager got removed several times, so that does not proove anything. its normal not to have a manual lolol its not even out yet!

11-13-2010
02:30 PM
it will be amazing to see how they plan to distribute those two files lv1diag.self and lv2diag.self LOOOL this is the same method we all now about, all they had to do is give us a payload and we would be good to go, but nooo they insist in charging 40$ for it... well this be out for free in no time.

11-13-2010
02:33 PM
no but that is not to good to be true that is really how the downgrade works, what amazes me is how are they going to distribute those files, if sony couldn't go after them for distributing their code, they can now. LOOOOL

what is a modified 3.41 firmware?
11-13-2010
02:49 PM
I don't really know if this is the right place to post this, but one of my programming acquaintances who works at the university here said that Sony hired a team here to test an official Sony downgrading kit. I'm not sure I really believe them or not, but it kind of makes sense, what if Sony was developing this for people who used the PS3 arrays for research?
11-13-2010
02:53 PM
From the beginning its been based on piracy and it keeps running on this track... but hey, thats life! I guess Darwin would call it "adaptability" :P
Sony might sue them, for (quite) sure... but as they are warez from the start... you know what i mean!!!
If they cant be caught, they cant be punished!
To tell you the truth, my friend, what bothers me is that i am in the mean time very thankfull to these guys because they gave a new birth to the scene, and also did it a very unlawfull way and i suspect them from having broken lots of laws to achieve this.
In france, we have a saying: "on ne fait pas d'omelette sans casser d'oeufs"... which means "não fazer uma omelete sem quebrar ovos".
In other words, some "colateral damages" are necessary to achieve great goals sometimes...
Haaa, philosophy
11-13-2010
02:57 PM
I'm lazy so I'll copy paste from what I posted somewhere else:
What I don't get is how they claim didn't use Sony codE and they distribute those files, which are OBVIOUSLY Sony coded...
Another thing I don't get is how the hell did they manage to modify a .pup and repack it.
11-13-2010
03:04 PM
As you say: it is sony coded (as of now everything leads to this conclusion) but they dont care. Its like a poker game, they are going all-in and pray it will be rewarded.
Whatever happens in the next weeks, whether they get caught and sueded or not, still lots of ps3 users will get the benefits of it. Lets not care about whats gonna happen to them, its their business and the risks they take is their responsability. If the scene can take advantage of their work and open the ps3 system... then let it be.

If these guys from PSJailbreak team are Ukrainians (as their server is situated in Ukraine) then I understand everything. If there is a Sony Service Center in this country, then employees can sell all the secrets just for nothing, or only because of the interest, just to "**** up the system". And nobody can arrest them or put the law on them, because the governement doesn't care.
11-14-2010
07:58 AM
However, humm hummm, your statement about Ukraine is a bit peremptory and stigmatizing.
The fact their server is in Ukraine doesnt necessary mean they are Ukrainians, this could be just a way to hide themselves.
As for your judgement about the ukrainian government being mafia etc... i feel a bit uncomfortable with it.
If this country was so leak likely, i guess sony would have never settle a service center over there.
But i do think like you: they have someone inside sony.
11-14-2010
11:10 AM
it cannnot work cause there is no way with higher firmwares then 3.41 to use a jailbreak.
they just try to sell the expensive jailbreak ! you give your credit card informations to china, you have no adress from the seller, and they'll steal your money. thats the truth. :thefinger:

It says it can backtrack to ANY firmware, I am wondering if it will allow for a debug/test/tool firmware to be installed...? that could be possible, because from what I can gather from the device it just manually overwrites all the files in the flash with that of any firmware.
11-14-2010
07:18 PM
Madshaun told me that installing a debug would brick your machine, although i am not 100% sure of it, i would go by his word.
As for Math it was expected, this is the same way that RichDevX uses, so i was expecting them to release it in order to PWN the jailbreak team trying to rip people off.

how can a soft update turn a modchip into the real jig?
anyway this factory mode is similar to this "poc" do you remember?
