Yup
Still hope someone is going to be able to figure out how to install this on newer FWs, but I guess we're stuck.
3.55 seems to be the last magic FW to date

Thought as much. Cheers mate

So, has anyone tested the cex<->dex switching pup's and the 4.20 downgrader?

I would have tested them myself but since i don't have a hardware flasher i have to wait for someone to green light me before using them.

They seem to be still untested. I too am interested in what they can do.

I wonder how the dex2cex works:

PS3UPDAT.PUP.Convert.Back.To.Dev.From.Retail

Obviously it requires you to have already dumped the key, but its interesting non the less..

EDIT: can a pup be patched theoretically with your own per console key???

Don't know if it's possible and in the description the per console key is not mentioned so it eludes me how they work without patching the nor/nand

Im guessing once its been converted something remains in the flash, and their dex-cex or cex-dex doesnt over write this so it never loses it. but it HAS to have been properly converted with per console key once before.

If you think about it just after the conversion, before updating to 3.55 dex, the console it's still on 3.55 cex and it works without any problem so there must be some trick to it.

Exactly, perhaps once the keys are extracted they can be patched into any update pup (wherever the pup writes to the correct eEid section of flash)? rather than using mm to flash that sector?
