But i was under the impression that the units that retail with 3.50 couldn't be downgraded, in psx-scene there are various reports of people buying 3.50 machines, and finding that they can't downgrade them.

Did Sony finally blow an e-fuse..? Would make sense that the Jig still works until it tries to load the lower firmware, just like it does for "tony4201" on his still downgradable machine (although I can go to 2.10 on a CECHJ). It might not go lower for that e-fuse reason or maybe they revoked something..

Just thinking aloud here!

interesting, but im not sure what gambit and lightflux said is true, because i encountered the green light blinking on mine, others had this problem, which worked for me (thanks norain) by downgrading to 3.15,

http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php...#axzz19FPIlP8j

and as SaveU said, why didnt they just install the 3.55 firmware instead??,

From what I've gathered I thought the only way to downgrade was if said console had the previous fw you wanted to downgrade to at one point in time If you go to a store and get a brand new ps3 with 3.50 it would not be able to downgrade b/c you've never had a previous fw on that console. You can't downgrade something you've never had in the first place!

Confirmed not as rumor. Yesterday i couldnt downgrade a 160GB PS3 friend of mine. It gives me infinite blinking green led (approx 30 minutes). After restoring using 3.50 FW, the units can boot again.

Maybe there's a way

Did some one tried to change the hard drive and then install the 3.50 firmware from USB hdd?
It suppose to help...
If it's not working I think it's hardware change...
