Team E3DIY contacted us today showing and confirming that they have managed to successively downgrade PS3 firmware 3.70 to 3.55 from their chip. They told us that this method requires NO soldering for SLIM PS3 consoles (required for phat), works for NAND and NOR, and is a simple one click and under five minute downgrade.

If it's cheaper than Progskeet + Solderless add-on I will most likely make the purchase.

That is awesome 5min no soldering for slim .I dont need it but i will buy 4 sure ..
This is really good news for others past 355 
This may be the best noob downgrade so far .. Great work guys !
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
I wonder how the fat will be ? I would not mind having all 3 on my PS3s on CFW then buy a 4th for OFW ,since my OFW366 has all my DLC it will complete me

will this fix bricked ps3 also that was messed up from the 3.56 firmware. i dont have my old hdd or else i wouldn't have this problem?
08-31-2011
11:58 AM
Is this to do with the small NAND, i was just thinking that the very last few PHAT consoles maybe compatible just like when Waninkoko firmware was bricking the big NAND consoles, but some Phats worked.

Man that sux for fats maybe theyll be able to eventually.
08-31-2011
12:17 PM
So.... what about future updates? Eventually OFW 3.7 will get lost in the shuffle, and finding one to downgrade might be pretty rare. I hope this hack cannot be blocked with firmware updates.

yeah!!! omg i have slim ps3 120 gb lovely and grade solution the only matter now is that i am from cyprus...would you able to send it to me??? sry for bad english

can we do the cfw swap thing with the two hardrives ?
one thats on ofw and one on cfw
08-31-2011
02:12 PM
Would I be correct in saying this downgrades via a USB dongle? No need to open the console at all? (Slim PS3)
08-31-2011
02:29 PM
why in fat PS3 we need to solder?
if it can downgrade in slims PS3 should do the same in nand PS3s :s

Great news but I don't see the point of it hackers probely will develop a cfw for 3.70 sooner or later
08-31-2011
04:49 PM
so can we hot swap this between ofw?
meaning putting a cfw in one hdd and the ofw in another hdd?

STOP CRying oh my god!!!
you guys seem to not either read the news or forget them really quick!
want a solderless solution for phats buy progskeet clip when it comes out.
want a solderless solution for slims buy e3 flasher clip when it comes out.
you keep crying over phats, when the solderless solution for phats was announced much sooner than slims, slims had no solution until now.

NOR FLASH ON board
Dual boot
3 save MODE
1 KEY backup or restore, simple is best
Compatiable all PS3 console
Integrated lots of interface, perfectly extension, will have more function with future new E3 accessory.
nice i will get one if easy process
If i am not mistaken you dont need to open up console it is from usb
if heard right like the old e3card reader
if so sony will patch it after 3.70 look out for a another firmware update
08-31-2011
09:14 PM
Well the E3 downgrader saved me endless times.
I had a whisper something was on the way and not to rush out and buy the solder on ones, as its inevitable the dongle will work. And I was also told the E3 downgrade may also be able to get working on firmware above 3.56, now more things have come to light over the last day or so, but unlikely me thinks as its likely the developers will sell this one rather than upgrade the old one with new bin's.

nice work e3, I expect a big sigh of relief for many. although i did read that fat ps3 will still need solder is that true? anyways great news for the ps3 scene.

pay off their device, and they said;
me:
Hello.
Why PS3 E3 Flasher fat needs of the welds for
Downgrade?
You Could not do it without welding? Since many people have
Playstation 3 fat.
thanks for the answer.
Anthony P ******* by Italy.
They:
Soon solder not come out for fat

Now if you find that I am wrong, would you let me know at your earliest.
But please and I ask in the nicest way, come back with facts, not what you think you know, because I will take it personally, and rip you to bits, in the nicest way that is. all within the rules of PS3hax, mind.

After watching the whole video, at the end he enters Time/Date information and the resolution has been reset to default, is it to be believed that the ps3 will be reset to factory default removing all custom content such as game saves and psn content ?
09-01-2011
09:48 AM
WOOT!! I'm totally buying this. I'm glad I went on he ps3 scene when the slim version was available
I hope this doesn't require to reformat the ps3 lol...

Guys why waste time and energy arguing who is right or wrong?, when this comes out everyone will be able to know what procedures it will require and the specific details.
In less than a week (if they keep their word) everything will be clear
In the video they posted, it is not clear if they previously opened the console, and we don't know if they are using the usb port with a storage device to install the FW 3.55 (X:/PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP ). So basically we just have to wait until they release it, because at this point we don't have solid references to come to a definitive conclusion.
SeeYa!

Screw warranty's, The ps3 usually out lasts PS3 warranty anyways = It is a waste of money to even buy a extended warranty also .They just want to get more money out of customers ! I have 3 PS3s & i passed up all warranty's for all 3. Except factory, but i JB my ps3 so who cares it was worth every bit of losing the factory warranty .If you were to send it to sony = They would just send you a non jail-breakable PS3 then what ..? = Screwed !
09-01-2011
07:06 PM
yeah tru warranties are not worth the paper they are written on never mind the extra you pay to extend. everything electrical i have ever owned have always outlasted the warranty. my old sony vaio lasted 1 day over the extended warranty and my friends just two weeks over the extended warranty. I think sony vaio have a self destruct timer on them to breakdown just after the extended warranty. Not sure about ps3s but if they last me 3 to four years ill be happy.

Honestly if you are checking out this site, and you are interested in modding your PS3, regardless of how; then guess what, you really deep down don't give a rats about your warranty. May as well be honest with yourself now, cause it's not like Sony is going to support any CFW screw up no matter how nice it gets on there. Heck its rare Sony supports their own mistakes, even if you didn't do anything to damage the system. Try calling their warranty support service sometime and make a scenario up like you get black screen, everything plugged in right, go through all the BS of is power plugged in and so forth. At the end of the call I bet Sony says, well its not covered under our warranty OR you have to pay to send it in.

hallo guys
When i bough my ps3 slim it was originaly at 3.56 now it is on 3.70 can i downgrade it on 3.55?
09-01-2011
07:52 PM
ProgSkeet/Teensy++ however this needs plenty of soldering skills. If I was you i would wait for the E3 Flasher to be released. To keep upto date on the whole ps3 scene then there is no need to look anywhere else but here ps3hax.net homepage. hope this helps
PS dont look on youtube they are all fake.
