I don't see where you say to save a OFW backup Second question: i understood that i've to start from the last ofw, perform a downgrade, create the cfw on the onboard flash.. and then? I've no idea of what i should do to say "load cfw" or "load ofw", do i have to flash the 2 (i think they're two) e3 onboard backup on the ps3? how do i do that? what are the switch combos to say "flash the first onboard backup instead the microsd one" or "flash the second onboard backup instead the microsd one"??? Thank you very much for your time

Hi, thank you for reply.. i'm starting to understand how it works!
Initially i thought i had to save both ofw and cfw on the onboard flash, than i realzed it is 16MB and not 32 so i understood it is just impossible! :P

correct me if i'm wrong:
I copy the cfw dump on the e3 onboard memory using this switch combo: 1 down / 2 up / 3 down / 4 up / 5 down / 6 down
That is the dump i've to use everytime i roll back from ofw to cfw, cfw to ofw is only possible by updating the fw via xbm right?
i still don't understand how i can say "write the dump from the e3 onboard flash to ps3 flash"

Another question: why can't i keep 2 dumps on the microsd (cfw\ofw) and write them to the ps3 flash everytime i need?
Is there any flag in eeprom that stops me from starting a lower firmware without flashing it via FSM? o.O
