I heard there is new method for this you should downgrade to 3.15 debug firmware first then update to 3.15 retail and then you can update to 3.41retail and there you go ))

1) u cant update from debug 3.15 to 3.15 retail
2) this is not the place to talk about best way to down grade use the search button and find the proper page to talk about the best way to downgrde and u get your .
3) keep to the topic of this page
4) if there was a way to jailbreak any firmmware other than 3.41 it would be front headline page on the site . not on some 100% fake website trying to act like there the real jailbreak team .

I believe that the 3.41 FW used isn't the best. I was having the "Blinking green" issue with a FAT PS3 and all I did was to use 3.21 to downgrade it instead of 3.41.. For Slims, I think it would be nicer if you guys tried to use a different version going from 3.50 to 3.30 I guess. The 3.41'CFW' isn't known for it's compatibility.

What you said, although people reporting the downgrade not working, did try a lot of firmware versions, even debug ones.
