This may be a noob question so forgive for that but, didn't $ony stop all psjailbreak sell via courts ? Embargo at customs, etc ?
I have been out of news so sorry if i am asking something obvious to everyone else.
Also, won't $ony just easily release a new upgrade thus canceling this strategy ?
Thanks

Yeah i think sony will be releasing a new update to stop this.
However this is proof that there will allays be a option to hack any ps3 firmware.

Don't know if Sony can disable this downgrade.
I think that the jailbreak itself and also this downgrade are Sony hacks (jailbreak for installing repair software and the downgrade for the later disabled usb exploit). So I think Sony can only repair a unit by also downgrading it to 3.41 so they can install their service software. If they disable the downgrade or let it blow an E-fuse then they handicap themselves also. Not totally sure about this though.

As I'm usually one to dis PSJailbreak for their scheduling lies and copying of the open manager features saying that they had something new and innovative, I can actually say thank you to these guys for actually coming out with something that works other than their original jailbreak that has already been made better by the community. Now all we need is someone to reverse engineer these files since it doesn't seem to require different hardware.
Then we will have a better and free open source solution!

I reckon they can revoke older dongle versions in new firmware upgrades so unless someone can reverse a dongle for FW 3.51 onwards or w/e, the actual downgrade process atm could be halted and again limited so 3.42 and 3.50.
Its amazing how PSJB make out they control the scene - just cos they got an insider nicking them dongles does not mean they are the best out there - they just happen to have the one thing no other hacker managed to get his hands onto.
Will not be surprised if Sony start to tether the dongles to their emplyees with certain keys to stop thefts and as a way of tracing leaks - they have constantly got fu**ed over by leaks in the past.

Did you use the install button at the inf installer program part? Did you select the correct usb device to create an inf file for? Did you look behind the upgrader screen if there is another screen open?
If you look in psupgrader dir (not the old 1.2 "ps upgrader") you will see a Drivers dir with the inf-wizard.exe. You can run this to create the driver again.
Also there are some people reporting problems with the windows part/software at the beginning of the installation process. But I think that was only with the 1.2 installer.

Quick question for those who got the downgrading to work or about to how have the official PS3JB that also using any PS3 system with 2 USB ports.
Can anyone try to do a system backup utility that has something like copy protection save data/demo/ect (something multiple and various stuff but make it so it's like 4-8GB in total file size so the backup utility doesn't take forever) from 3.50 then downgrade to 3.41 and see if you can restore the backup and retain everything.
If you're not one of those people who are technically inept, please don't try this. I rather have someone who's experienced enough to try this out for me as they would have better chance of fixing the PS3 if anything goes wrong.
The reason I ask is that so it would be whole lot easier for some of us to just restore the system backup from 3.50->3.41 than having 3 laptop hard drives (1 for 3.41, 2nd for 3.50, 3rd for using it for downgrading/upgrading fw).
I know if you do a system backup from previous fw to higher fw on the same system it works just fine (from my experience). But since the downgrade is new, I'm curious as if it would work in reverse and I'm pretty sure others are wondering as well.

WOOT LET THE HACKING BEGIN JUST DOWNGRADED MY PS3 TWICE TODAY I MESSED UP ON A HACK THAT WAS SOPPUSED TO WORK BUT WHEN I GOT TO 3.5 AND LOADED THE GAME IT WAS A NEVER ENDING LOADING SCREEN SO I HAD TO REDOWNLOAD AND NOW I FIXED THE ISSUE LOL
at the moment im reinstalling 3.5 for the second unofficial time lol the 1st time was official but anyways ima get on this game and hack the **** out of it LOL

Sorry for the nOooby question, but this only works if you have the $99 dollars for the for the official PS Jailbreak device?
One more, just to confirm, this downgrader does not work on any other device except official PS Jailbreak???
Anyways thanx in advance

2: As of now yes.
Here's a noob question?
Do you have a attention span of a chimp? The thread that is 3 pages when it was already explained over and over again!
If and when a alternative way to downgrade the fw with dev boards. What makes you think you can follow instructions when you obviously can't even bother reading less than 3 pages and skim through when the question you posted was already answered?
Next thing we know is that you'll be asking us on how to do it when the time comes and it'll come with a easy step by step process and you still manage not to read it.
Even if your new to the site or hacking in general, always try to find the answer to your question yourself by looking on the forums as always the same questions are repeated over and over again.

I've managed to download the files perfectly, but when I click then to update on the updater I keep receiving a message saying FLASH FAILED.
Any idea why this is happening?!
12-02-2010

i think to get out the service mode, you will need to :*
downgrade 3.50 > 1.5 service mode(or another one, don't know)
then, 1.5 service mode > 3.15 retail (founded on internet, everywhere)
then just hack 3.15 as usual

But afaik this doesn't work for exchange to other machines (the PS3 filesystem is encrypted with personalisation/key) and doesn't work for FW mixes (the NAND contains last 2 FW's + EEPROM has tags of last used FW tag+personalisation/key).
If I have 3 harddisks (1,2,3) with FW 3.15, 3.41 and 3.50 per 3 seperate PS3's (A,B,C) - in total 9 HDD's (A1,A2,A3,B1,B2,B3,C1,C2,C3):
- I can use HD A1, A2, A3 on machine A (if using up/downgrade per shuffle)
- I can use HD B1, B2, B3 on machine B (if using up/downgrade per shuffle)
- I can use HD C1, C2, C3 on machine C (if using up/downgrade per shuffle)
and
- cannot use HD A1, A2, A3 on machine B or C (unless I reformat with the correct encryption key)
- cannot use HD Bx on machine A or C (unless I reformat with the correct encryption key)
- cannot use HD B1, B2, B3 on machine A or B (unless I reformat with the correct encryption key)

if i have 3.42 , and i buy the Original PS Jailbreak,I can Downgrade to 3.41.
my question if i can then use any other jailbreak device when the firmware is 3.41 on my sony ? or the 3.41 version is on the Original PS Jailbreak itself ?

On other sites there are people reporting problems (flashing green led on PS3 and that's all) with some modded pup-files. The working modded pupfile is from november 2010 !!

Tested this with my X3Max dongle after downgrade.

yea but whats the point of having a clone jailbreak? when u can just use the 1 that downgrades
At the moment i have downgraded 3 times now and updated 4 times just becuase when i went in game this time i couldnt kill people LOL
12-02-2010
09:26 AM
the point is that if me and my friends have 4 ps3 with 3.42 then we order 1 original ps jailbreak ,downgrade all our cosnsoles,and then use PS3BREAK,PS3 KEY ,PS3GO or any other chip device available
this is possible right ?

So you actually did the backup and restore on the PS3 itself or did you just use a PC software to clone the drive?
I actually wanted to someone to try it through the actual PS3 system backup utility using the same PS3 in all process that has some sort of copy protection files (games saves,ect).
3.50fw backup -> downgrade 3.41 (-> optional downgrade to lower fw if applicable) -> restore backup (using from the backup utility from 3.50 on the same PS3).
Sorry if I didn't understand your post. It sounded like it was theoretical statement (as you just dump the info from the PS3 HDD to PC from what I gather) and it didn't sound like you actually did it.

Actually I think it is a shame I had to buy another dongle just for better compatibility. The PSJB team should fix this and give us a better payload as Hermes 4b.
Allthough I want to experiment with AsbestOS later, and that will never happen with the original (doesn't have enough ram to do that ever I think), so the X3Max is very useful for that with its 128 kb ram and the sdhc slot (still disabled atm). And this way I have more fun than playing a game and it costs less
Yes Sony, I know your staff will read this (spy-ing), I am one of the owners who just wants a PS3 with 3.41 (3.50?) and Linux (YLD). Nicest would be linux on top of the gameOS and not stand alone with lack of drivers (slow). And if I need to hack your beloved system to get back what you stole...so it is.
Positive thing of your action to remove otherOS is I have a lot more options to experiment with now. Thank you for that (and even more thanks to the people who made the jailbreak possible and the community for making it even better).

No, you cannot use X3Max as a downgrade dongle with the files in this thread.

First: do you need the downgrade?
second: do you own the original $ 99,- PSJB? There are pictures on this forum to recognize a clone and the original. Main difference is a hole at the end of the clone usb device which the original doesn't have.
Second difference is the box. The original has the logo printed on the transparant plastic, the clone has a sticker.
And no one is gonna sell you the original for a price like $25,-
As the software won't recognize your dongle my guess is you bought a clone.
