you could flash to downgrade to 3.55 and use hdd (1) and when you wanna go 3.72 put in the hdd (2) and update normal via usb stick then when u wanna go cfw just flash back to 3.55 . inthat email says you can duel boot but not fast swap . whcih means at a touch of the button basicly beause it went to clip but they will get it work in fast swap , but at the mo the way above is i think you have to dual boot at the mo

That explains it. I though it would be more elegant. So how did they promise the dual boot? Secondary NOR chip to avoid rewriting the fw over and over again?

my opinion and my assumption on this whole "dual boot" thing is, that sony could put more securities in fw to prevent completely further hdd switching...so i think it gets obsolete sooner or later.

yes the flasher has got its own nor which we would of used for the other fw but thats was we had to solder it abit. also the soldering was diffent point than what the clip is nowgoing to . . this is thats why the duel boot via e3 flasher nor is not working propley . if no one moaned that it was partley solderling then it would be duel booting now as they wouldnt of sorted the clip out

So how the heck does this make sense?

Q8:Which version PS3 can downgrade and dual boot ? We find all FAT console works , most slim console works even include some new slim console which come with 3.56+ original FW. We find 3000X version console can programme correctly but can't downgrade and dual boot, we will do best to work it out and provide to all free.

Read the sentence that I underlined in bold italics.

How is that even possible? I was under the impression that no ps3 could be downgraded below whatever it originally came with. So how will they be doing this on those that started at 3.56+?

because some ps3 that was released on 3.56 and 3.60 was not there factory fimware sony updated them from 3.55 so there not on fimware that can have cfw installed then they sold them.

Slickdoor.com and Yoyobase.com already get this, you should buy from them.

So this current E3 Flasher still has that NOR chip? Is it still possible to solder some wires and enable the dual boot with this model?

i would think so becuse all they did is change the wire from partly solderless to fully solderless clip . the e3 flasher is still the same but diffent connected best thing to do is email them to be 100% sure
