PS3Hax Network - Playstation 3 Hacks and Mods - View Single Post - E3 Flasher Update: October 10th shipping date, NAND Flash support delayed

Hey guys!

Does anyone know exactly how the fast swap works? I know it can be used to downgrade from 3.72 OFW, but I didn't understand if it flashes a new FW to PS3 NOR every time we want to switch between OFW and CFW or if it just switches between PS3 NOR and E3 NOR. Any clue?

I'm assuming it just switches between PS3 NOR and E3 NOR. Now, lets say we set up 3.72 OFW on PS3 NOR and 3.55 CFW on E3 NOR. When a new OFW release is available can we just update it normally (using a USB disk or PS3 online update, without using E3)? Or we need to wait for a "modified" OFW version to flash using E3? In other words, when everything is set up and working, do we need to use E3 flash function to do anything other than FW downgrading or backing up?

Is there any instruction manual available that explains all those switches and everything?

Thank you very much!
