Use the Samsung 10.28 update.bin, to update your flasher. Then use it on as many ps3s you like.

i did that but still doesnt help me much. i am reusing my e3 flasher so if i try to downgrade the normal way i get not original ps3. so i tryed this way and after the dongle part all went down hill. step one and two didnt want to load for some reason ps3 would just shut off on it own after the dongle. so i flashed my bios in there and now stuck in factory mode on 4.25

If you used the samsung update.bin, you will not get not original ps3 error.

You have to flash the patched backup before entering FSM.

i did all of that but when i flash patched back up. after that my ps3 just shuts off when turning it on. but when i flash my original bios it stays in factory. i flush it with first switch up the rest down.
