0_o ok.... so in 2 days of reconstructions and retrys i managed to actually back up my BIOS and start the downgrade.
Now i got to "Connect the controller using USB cable and press the PS button." part, but if it do it just says something in lines of:
The system cannot run.
Connect USB with 3.73 update or press PS button to restart.

Any way to get past that without the "special" USB downgrade dongle?

If u're a wizard and can get the ps3 into service mode without a dongle, than yes. otherwise: no!

Do you got a PSP or an android mobile phone?

Well i don't own either of those, but I think i could get a PSP for a while.
If i did use PSP to enter the service mode, where or how should I do it?

PS:Thnx for the quick reply :D

Edit/Question: Does that state I described in my previous message counts as "downgraded" to a version which supports PSP service mode trick? (just to make sure cause it used to brick PS3s i read)

i only flashed with e3_downgrade.bin, they didn't mention in guide that i must have backup of bios aswell now I am stuck at somewhere may be no one can solve it , so i flashed e3_downgrade.bin and when I start ps3 it turns off itsels I don't know what to do

CONFIRMED! You deleted your BIOS.

• IF you made a backup, you can wait and hope for the best.
• If not, well, i can't tell for sure, but it's highly unlikely you can get it fixed by your self. Moreover, if you do have the skills to do so you would still need to get a bios.

Honestly, I am gonna buy another PS3 and IF by some bizzar miracle i manage to unbrick it I can always sell it. If not.... well at least i'll be able to play PS3 :P

Naw, Screw the flasher. It will be much easier, cheaper and by all likelyhood faster to just buy a ps3 with 3.55 and a dongle if you like.

I mean it's cool the flasher can let you downgrade and upgrade any time,right? Now think of it this way if by doing 1 downgrade like 80% of poeple get bricks. Switching HDD might give bricks, restoring bios gives bricks... I can almost build a house of that....
With that in mind how much of "dual boot" and "easy 1 button" downgrades would you use?

You would most likely stick to 3.55 IF succesfull. Then you would uninstall the flasher, put the it into to an urn, place several curse sealing talismans and put it in the darkest corner in your attic or drop it into a wishing well. Hell, I might aswell start doing this right now...

Hi, people! I have PS3 Slim 3.65 CECH 3001A.
I`d like to downgrade it 3.65>3.55. Is it possible?
I read that E3 isn`t support 300X revision of PS3.

Is there any options to downgrade it or use dual boot?
