ModChipCentral has quickly processed my refund and they had no idea the dual boot was removed until I mentioned it to them. They even replied saying that this is very unfortunate that they removed the feature. I will only use modchipcentral for my purchases now.

It doesnt make any sense why we would want to even install the thing. Hard flashing your nor back and forth between cfw and ofw is really bad for the chip. I had high hopes for this, and while i would like a flasher, Ill just wait for the progskeet version to come out with a nor based dual boot. They will probably be much cheeper and better quality.

True. But this chips foremost feature was and always will be the ability to change the firmware as the users sees fit. Dual booting is an extra feature they worked in, but now they probably realize most of all people wanted both functions, but mainly dual booting.

If people want a solderless downgrade solution, they must realize the customer WILL go with ProgSkeet as they are a recognized and proven manufacturer of quality modchips right now and E3 is not. Plus ProgSkeet is cheaper.

This is really amazing, they still trying to sell the same chip as if nothing had happened saying that they gonna make a revision when it is assumed that the dual boot feature was already done. I canīt think of anything but scam. Very embarrassing

You can downgrade with progskeet at less than half the E3 Price. Personally i wouldnt care if i gonna have to solder some wires. On this way its not different from progskeet so why buy an E3 at $100? What about people who made the reserve for a dual-boot chip at that cost? I think that they knew such feature was not possible like they promised.

so is $90 still worth it just for a downgrade?
im currently on 3.60(slim) with no other option to downgrade that doesnt require soldering.

also would it possible to use it to downgrade then put everything back into place. or does the downgrade only work with the e3 installed.

You must take your PS3 apart, install the E3 flasher, put the PS3 together then downgrade. After that you can take the PS3 apart and take out the E3 flasher.

ProgSkeet is going solderless too and I think their solderless is still less expensive.

but is progskeet solderless currently available...or any eta?

btw other then the downgrade, complete backup of system and no dualboot...what can the e3 flasher do?

btw on their site it said
Integrated lots of interface, perfectly extension, will have more function with future new E3 accessory.
anyone hear what those functions might be?
