cobra isn't a downgrade dongle, it's a cfw dongle

You can't use cobra dongle for FSM. Have a look at this http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Talk:...PSgrade_Dongle

yup u can use it as factory service mode dongle

Code:
Factory Service Mode
Factory Service Mode is used to perform operations like downgrade.
To enter factory service mode using Cobra, follow these instructions.

    Power off your PS3.
    Insert Cobra USB in the PS3. Make sure that it is in factory service mode (switch in right position).
    Turn on PS3 and press eject quickly.
    Blue and green LED’s of Cobra will flash while booting, green led will be the final led on success. If you are on a regular ofw or cfw, the console will shut down. If you are on cobra CFW, the console will continue booting normally (unless it is semibricked, in that case it will stay on forever). In both cases, don’t worry, despite that, the PS3 flag that sets factory service mode will have been written, just shutdown your PS3 manually and next time you will be in factory service mode.
    You are now in factory service mode. Don’t connect Cobra USB while in factory service mode.
    You can find tutorials on the internet to perform operations like downgrade, exiting factory service mode, etc.

i think so yes..cobra can be used as FSM dongle, altough on the site it's talking about:

Code:
Easy mode selection via switch (PC update, PS3 downgrader, regular PS3 device mode)
* Downgrader functionality included free of charge, allowing users to upgrade firmware to and from 3.41 at will.
they must mean..FSM here

another quote from a guy..we haven't seen for awhile btw, but he know's what he's talking about right?!

If I were you then I would just cancel that and buy a PS3Key from modchipcentral.com .....they only cost like 9 - 10 bucks.

Cobra USB will put the PS3 into FSM, I can personally verify.
