First of all

You cannot downgrade your PlayStation 3 system.

Reasons:
1. You can't downgrade as when you update you just add the new features (not the whole firmware) otherwise it will take up to 10GBs, but it only takes 100-200 MBs

2. As SONY always says "never update your system by any other source, that is not in Sony's website OR that is not the update we're offering, as this can cause some damages to your console"

3. You can only Update

4. There are people who have already tried it, and the result is fail, while those who are saying it works, doesn't have proof, or even better, haven't tried it (those are only theories that they are putting)

5. It is logical that, you can when there is a new firmware you're updating your system, and not installing the whole new firmware.


PlayStation 3 Modded Lobby (challenges)

1. For now there are only theories, and some real things about how to hack Modern Warfare 2 challenges (for PS3), so it is necessary that you DO NOT believe in everything that people post/say here, when they even haven't tried it. Again those are just theories from them.

2. Make sure that before you're trying any kind of method on "how to hack mw2" you're sure about what you're doing, and if the other people are "really sure" also about what they are saying, then they should post some proves.

That's all, enjoy. Also this is the reason why many threads are getting closed/deleted by the Moderators without any advice or warning.

Happy Modern Warfare 2 hacking, and happy PS3 workingSmile

    49 57 66 66 75 31 30 30 00 00 01 0D (IWffu100....)
but I can't open it, zlib says "data error", ffViewer "bad header", etc... :(

yeah tell me how are you gonna downgrade, when you are not allowed to delete the current firmware?

Dude, for the seoncd time, when you go to playstation.com and go to the link that they give to download the update the ONLY add the new feactures, NOT the whole firmware (which i doubt you can downgrade without installing the full previews firmware), which means that if your gonna downgrade, you gonna need to uninstall the current firmware, NOT just download the new features that were added to that old firmware (example v3.00).

it is like this example:

1, 2, 3

how come are you gonna go to number 2, without even deleting number 3? when you just try to downgrade to number 2 (which is already there) you will just be adding a feature that is already there, and you will end up getting a error.

lol i bet you have never tried it before, and you're saying that u can downgrade, show me some proves then ill edit my post Winky Winky

No you can't, are you retarded? Don't post this bullshit unless you try it for yourself, and you will know that will not work

modded lobbies can easily be created if you decrypt the .pkg file and add the codes from xbox 360 which are public and make them in the patch


A PKG file is like an install file, it is compressed, encryted, signed, so you wouldn't be able to do anything with it. Again, please don't post this BS unless you've tried it. Don't just look at peoples theories and immideately believe them.

Yh.... okay, you just copied what Hunter said on PS3news, and in fact it starts with IWff0100! You've just stupidly gone and copied the one he was talking about for WaW.

It is impossible to downgrade

due to the UPDATE being installed on the PS3 itself and NOT the HDD

ppl seem to be under the impression that finding the dummy is easy, it aint that easy, once we know where the ps3 stored the dummy on the hdd, its pretty straight forward to start dycrpting. but finding them 16 bytes is killing my eyes
