thanks for the response and it's CECH-2501A.On the list it says that it's good for a downgrade but it just shuts off right after i press the on button.

Did you start on 3.55 or were you already at 4.00? Because I've noticed a lot of the problems I've read about usually have to do with missing bios, so make sure you're backing those up every time.

I LOVE the E3, it's really awesome once set-up. (and it even looks cool!)

1. Update your PS3 to OFW 4.0
2. Perform a tripple backup
3. Check your backups with the NOR checker
4. Download the up to date files provided by e3-tech

i'll try that and see what happens.
