New Bluray Playback Fix After Downgrade
 

As posted here on Logic Sunrise there seems to be another fix for the bluray playback issue after downgrade.

Movie playback Blu-ray after a downgrade

As we learned recently, movie playback Blu-ray after having downgraded its PS3 is impossible, this is the firmware 3.41 must have changed. In fact it contains a bug that the developers trying to correct.

To avoid this, the method is simple, downgraded your console firmware 2.10 or below, the procedure is the same except that the 2.10 firmware does not change so official. After that you just install via the XMB firmware 3.41 unmodified retail you can easily find on the Internet, as well as for 2.10.

Do not take a firmware above 2.10 because you squeeze forced to change the HDD temporarily (to be upgraded in laps3 3.41) because the console hangs when retrieving data.

This test was performed on a 60GB model so for those who want to try on a different model than it is at your own risk.

Thanks, front paged.

So this works with the 2.10 retail update or the debug one?

LE: This shouldn't work for Slim units since they first came out with 2.85 FW.

Debug units don't have bluray functionality in the first place, so what do you think

My bad I forgot about that.

2.60 on Slim?
 

2.85 is the lowest FW 4 Slim? my came with 3.40 on it, but i would like 2 have 2.60, cause on this HDCP can B disabled :(

Does this mean don't not used any firmware between 2.10 and 3.41?

If you do the downgrade do you lose the data on the hardrive? Have got uk 40gb fat

Good news. Waiting for a slim fix though since I have to downgrade for a friend who mostly uses his ps3 as blu-ray player, lol. I would try giving him my flash2/3 if it has a good chance to work.

and @spok: There are ways of making your retail ps3 into a debug ps3 in the making (project rebug). I'm not 100% sure but I think you can disable HDCP on debug firmware too. I guess you'll just have to wait a litte longer for it to work flawlessly

i did this yesterday...
i downgrade my ps3 to 3.15 then update to 3.41 via xmb...
and today i test...and works fine....

(but i have a problem with users account :P bad luck)

Didn't work on my 60GB PAL release console :hmmmm2:
