i wonder where all of you get the information for extra downgrade dongle?
nothing says about it and these bin hex files are a way too big for dongles, aren't they?

this big downgrade file is a mfw that you can flash to without having any problems like this rogero mfw.
i think it has specific syscon checks or alike disabled.

themself said their flasher is upgradeable/flashable so it's just like with the old dongles.

They've said a lot of things and will only know when this thing is released and someone reviews it. As soon as I was told that I would need to reflash every single time for this "half dual boot", I canceled my preorder.

I want the proper dual boot, and since I've only began soldering a few weeks ago, I prefer having to solder a few wires with instructions than try to attempt making a dual NOR switch with a ProgSkeet and break my console.

sooner or later sony patches fw to remove hdd upgrading/switching and only build bigger bundles.

is that what you all want???

the main intention of these flashers IS and WILL be safety, so you can restore/rescue your machine
and not this whole ****** dual boot ****. sorry, my opinion.

edit
it would be awesome to have a multi bootloader on startup to select fws from different places like usb/hdd0.

Dual boot would be best option for all ps3 gamers. Except the cheaters/pirates of course who like to ruin it for everyone. I hope CFW users never regain PSN access and a easy dual boot flasher or softmod is released.

Sony will do everything in their power to keep cfw users off psn. They failed to keep the psp secure but not with out a fight. The psp scene also moved at a much quicker pace and exploits were kept silent until the right moment. I doubt sony they will let it happen with their flagship console.

if you look in the manual on how to use the e3 flasher somepoint it says use your jailbreak doungle in to usb drive nearest to the br drive to put ps3 in sevice mode and also u need it to get out of sevice mode

Still need a dongle, my friend just got an e3 and test with it now.
but heard someone already bricked his console with e3 flasher... because when he downgrade from 3.7x and he upgrade again with 3.55kw and now bricked..

there be cheater with or with out dual boot it wont make any diffence 1) cfw on deul boot still wont have acess to the psn and 2) you cant do a data transver to the same ps3 so people thats got 1 ps3 on deul boot wont be able to put mods on to online games , u still need a 2nd ps3 for that
