if on higher than 3.55 definately not
usb? NO
true flasher? only if you are very experienced at soldering/coding etc and have access to all the required components.
its easier/less risk of bricking to buy one

if you are on 3.55 and wish to go lower then yes you can use other devices.

higher than 3.55 = flasher to downgrade = E3/progskeet/teensy++ (not possible with usb)

trueblue is not a downgrader/flasher, its a DRM device for playing newer games on 3.55

1. TB is a piracy dongle used for playing the latest games on 3.55 CFW. It is not for downgrading.

2. What are you trying to accomplish? (Why do you need a dongle?)

3. Are you on OFW 3.56+? If so, then you will need hardware flasher, not a dongle. You would need something like a progskeet or the E3 Flasher.

You need the downgrade dongle to enter factory service mode, you don't actually do the downgrade with the dongle
Then you get a regular usb flash drive with the cfw e3 provide or rogeros v2 cfw along with lv2diag.
If you actually searched the forum there are videos and tutorials showing you how to do it.

You can also use a psp to get into factory/service mode. With an app called ps3 jig. It only works on 5.50 chickhen or lower I think. , I got it to work on 5.50 chick hen.

PS3Key is the cheapest i think, really easy to use and they have a ready made downgrade firmware for the dongle, but remember you only use to get into fsm.

Ps3key can be purchased from ps3key.com, dont fall for a clone of it
