To do this it asks me to connect some media with ofw 4.11 or higher. I have RDR disc in it and when i press START + SELECT PS3 searches for FW but not finding it.
So, either my RDR disc not contains FW pup or this metod is bull****.

he said u still need to put 4.11 ofw on the usb stick in slot too

The guys said you have to put 4.11 on a pen drive and then conect to the ps3 with the game disk inside then try select+start and say what happens

This worked for my friend with ps3 version 4.11.

There was something wrong with his harddrive so there popped up a screen.
The PS3 asked me if I want to format the harddrive and reinstall a firmware from 4.11 or higher. In the drive there was Fifa 11 (3.41). So I tried to reinstall it to 4.11 but without noticing the PS3 downgraded to firmware 3.41.

It seems that the PS3 downgraded with the update package of Fifa 11.

Kinda weird huh?!

Come on man leaving work early would be worth the name you would make for yourself or just the fact that so many people would be saving $$$ with flashers just to downgrade.. tb is cracked that would be more savings..who wants to pay for jb fw or software mods..thought that was the reason for jb and the scene's. Just saying this would ROCK!!!!

Oh what i forgot to say is. Getting a blackscreen on about 50% is normal! The ps3 will restart

z0mbie · 03-25-2012

So i've done it. And guess what? Now i have my PS3 with OFW version... 4.11!
Yeah, maybe my RDR disc doesn't contain needed pup file but it doesn't worked for me.
So if anyone gonna try it, don't use RDR fo it.

And for mirkie, if you lied in your first post then i hope you die in horrible pain. Not for deceiving me but for giving me false hope.

Post video of your method

p.s. show 4.11 working pup. on usb as well as the game you used... show it too up close and going into the ps3. Then show your ofw4.11 in system info and begain with your method with the downgrade......This should clear everything up!! until then it's like religion......

Putting 4.11 on usb would take priority over a lower disc one .

Seriously, you having fun yet?

Never try what people say unless you got proof of it working from the original person with the claim! Doing so could or will damage your ps3's!!!

RDR has a disc update like every other game title.

Now i will say this for the last time, IT DOES NOT WORK, the ONLY way that could work is if you have QA flagged your machine, which we all know that QA flagged machines read the disc update to downgrade, but what we know is QA flagged Machines don't work past 3.56, you are on 4.11 therefor it won't ever work.

As i said you either provide proof with a video or whatever, or this thread is closed and you will be infracted
