If your ps3 is already jailbroken, there is no need to do this

this is for people on 3.73, who still haven't yet downgraded.

Step 1.

Download the 4.00 upgrade via ps3

step 2.
while its installing (NOT DOWNLOADING)
once its around 10%-90% (mine was on like 32%)
turn off the console

Step 3.

Turn on the console

step[ 4.

your now presented with 2 options,

1. try and repair the current firmware

2. restore ps3 to factory default firmware

step 5.

choose the restore to factor default


you now have a ps3 running its original out of box firmware.


ps: I think when we abort the update process the PS3 bricks or not ? when this post is nonsense pls delet it and sry...

Pfft, if your on 4.00 already then go ahead and try this to confirm it, video proof would have been better :/
Guys dont try this if your on 3.7x just wait for someone to confirm or wait for KaKaRoTo

sounds fishy.. would this not brick your ps3??

nevermind i cant read

Sounds far to easy!

this way is so old and it never works as i read before . i dont think sony would add a extra option to the 4,00 fw to restore default firmware if it stops half way more like to make it ask for the same version .

i also don´t think that this work just rumor how i said...when we are in service mode and go to factory reset the ps3 reset to factory but with the firmware we have already installed not the stock...

That will have a 90% chance of bricking your console, or leaving you in a update loop.

Saying that, if it was legit(99.99999% sure its not), it would be extremely funny

I don´t know if sony have a security for such a thing

the big problem is to test it becaue the new 4.0 firmware don´t know the e3 flasher or progskeet support it so that somebody with this can test it...
