After I did the recovery to 2.3, then upgraded to 2.71 using the PB2 files, it still says TB2.5 in the system info. So I either have different hardware JBK or the process worked and it just didn't update the system info. I don't have any TB2.7 games to test, but I'll post later when I can acquire some.

Great work @CaptainCPS-X - my question is, i have a P3GO (P3 T-Break) dongle, and cannot ignore that the JB-King looks like an identical of it. Am I correct in saying that the P3GO is the hardware that is being used for the JB-King, and if it is, do you think it's possible to load the PB2 v1.02 FW onto it to produce a cloned TB Dongle?

It's interesting to see that the PS3 Cheat dongle also uses the P3GO hardware too (this i know for sure) - sound promising with regards to the abilities of these P3GO Dongles!

I made a new package for those having problems with the flashing process. Please read the documentation that I included, I wrote it myself with specific instructions and details of the process.

Hope it helps, I made every step with my own dongle again to make sure it works and everything went fine. System says "Firmware 4.11, True Blue 2.7".

Here is the README.txt anyways

JB-King 2.3 - 2.71 FW package [ by CaptainCPS-X ]
updated: 7-1-2012
===================================================

------------------------
Introduction
========================

Recently I created a post where I shared my discovery about the fact that you can actually use the PB2 firmware files (DFU) with JB-King dongle, since they are basically the same thing. If you want to learn more visit this article at ps3hax.net:

------------------------
About this package
========================

This package was made in hopes of helping users that are having problems updating / flashing their JB-King dongle with the latest PB2 v1.02 FW files (2.71)

The main difference of this package with others, is that this one includes a different Flashing Utility, this one was obtained from STMicroelectronics official software suite. It presents more advanced user options than the one provided by JB-King / PB2.

Files have been renamed and organized for better understanding of the flashing process as well.

Note: You must install the JB-King / PB2 dongle drivers for Windows x86 / x64 (included) before proceding.


-----------------------------------
Flashing 2.3 -> 2.7 FW to JB-King
===================================

To ensure the flashing process of 2.7, first we must make a recovery flashing of FW 2.3.

The flashing consist of 2 phases, because we must flash 2 different targets on the dongle.

NOTE: When removing the dongle from the PC, don't use the Windows "Safely remove hardware" just disconnect the dongle after you finish the flashing process.


PHASE 1 (2.3)

1- While pressing the upgrade button on your JB-King dongle, connect it to your PC.
2- Wait until the device is properly detected
3- Run the included Flashing Utility "DfuSeDemo.exe"
4- In the "Upgrade or Verify Action" section click on "Choose..."
5- Select the included "2.3_Target_01.dfu", on the side box it should say "Target in file... 01 ST"
6- Now in the "Action" list box displayng the available device targets, select the "01"
7- Select the "Optimize upgrade duration (Remove some FFs)" checkbox
8- Press "Upgrade" and wait for the process to complete


PHASE 2 (2.3)

1- After PHASE 1 is done, don't close the Flashing utility
2- In the "upgrade or Verify Action" section click on "Choose..."
3- Select the included "2.3_Target_00.dfu", on the side box it should say "Target in file... 00 ST"
4- Now in the "Action" list box displaying the available device targets, select the "00"
5- Press "Upgrade" and wait for the process to complete
6- You can now remove the dongle so we can get ready for the final upgrading


We are now ready to flash the latest FW 2.71 to JB-King, follow this procedure:


PHASE 1 (2.7)

1- While pressing the upgrade button on your JB-King dongle, connect it to your PC.
2- Wait until the device is properly detected
3- Run the included Flashing Utility "DfuSeDemo.exe"
4- In the "Upgrade or Verify Action" section click on "Choose..."
5- Select the included "2.7_Target_01.dfu", on the side box it should say "Target in file... 01 ST"
6- Now in the "Action" list box displayng the available device targets, select the "01"
7- Select the "Optimize upgrade duration (Remove some FFs)" checkbox
8- Press "Upgrade" and wait for the process to complete


PHASE 2 (2.71)

1- After PHASE 1 is done, don't close the Flashing utility
2- In the "upgrade or Verify Action" section click on "Choose..."
3- Select the included "2.71_Target_00.dfu", on the side box it should say "Target in file... 00 ST"
4- Now in the "Action" list box displaying the available device targets, select the "00"
5- Press "Upgrade" and wait for the process to complete
6- You can now remove the dongle


--------------------------------
Finish
================================

To verify that the process completed successfully, connect the JB-King dongle to your PS3 and after the booting process finish, go to "System Settings - > System Information".

It should now say "Firmware 4.11, True Blue 2.7"

If it doesn't say it, don't panic try to flash the dongle again.

The Flashing utility that I included is more advanced than the one from JB-King / PB2 so PLEASE, follow the instructions step by step very carefully.

I will say it again just in case...

Please note that I am in no way responsible for anything that happen to your dongle / hardware / console by doing what I personally decided to do, if you don’t know how to flash the FW files to JB-King, please be careful.

UPDATE: I attached a picture that indicates very clear with a big "X" the area of this new Flashing Utility that should NOT use, and a green arrow indicating where we should Choose the DFU files when following the tutorial.

SeeYa!

Thank you so much for finding this out!
I have thought that my jb-dildo will be going in the dumpster (well a drawer to be exact) because I was unable to play MGS HD collection that I've got /w the update from the company. And it looked like the company has abandoned it's customers .. but reading the first couple of line from the PB2 webpage it says 'The king is back' so this is a great hint to the fact that it is basically the same company with apparently same hardware used in their dongle.

Following the guidelines of your archive posted above I was successfully able to flash usb key and make it appear as TB v2.7 under System info.
I can confirm the game mentioned above working with the eboot patch!

Many thanks to Nicolas19 and CaptainCPS-X for your guides.
I tried Nicolas19s guide first with no luck and then Captains guide, again no luck.
System settings still show v2.5.
Will try again using a different computer.
