(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ok this totally sucks so i did something similar to this thread You must login or register to view this content.. what i did was i was on 3.41 and i put every patch i could on my ps3 and then back up every one with the backup thing on the ps3. then i thought that if it would give me the patch aslong as i was using the same ps3 so i updated to 3.50. i only have one ps3 so i really want to play online with my friends. not only did i loose the patch that i had updated on but wen i tried to restore one of my backups and see if that would work it also didnt work. a couple days earlyer i tried to just put a patch on his ps3 and then update it and it didnt work. wat the f**k
i dont understand every time i transfer a patch and then update it the patch doesnt work after i update to 3.50.
can someone plz explain to me y im totally screwed

This is how you have to transfer data

dude i only have one ps3 i already no how to do that but my problem is keeping my patch after i update on my ps3

Wrong area to post but using FTP is the most reliable way, these "USB" methods never worked for me and caused me problems.

If your on 3.50 and no patch and no PS3 on 3.41, your totally screwed, sorry.
Using a USB gives different permissions for the patch, I noticed that when copying a patch over FTP to replace a patch that had been transferred to my PS3 by a USB, because of this permission problems your patch wouldn't have appeared on your PS3 unless you were always booting the PS3 jailbroken and as soon you updated to 3.50, you ruined any chance of correcting the patch.

Should always test in Split Screen before updating or using Data Transfer Utility.

You sound like you know what ur talking about, sorry to slightly hijack the thread here but how do we alter these permissions?

Well, to be honest, I think it's the issue because I only know about this because of using OpenSSH for iPhone and WinSCP or Cyberduck and a lot of the time when transferring apps over, wrong permissions for the .app file caused the app to crash straight away and return to the springboard. I've been more into the iPhone hacking scene since 2007 you see.

I think when you select the patch in Filezilla, the normal patch and copied over patch by FTP will have rw-rw-rw or something like that in the permissions column and when a patch was transferred over by USB it was just rw-----.
The USB method caused me problems with mods not appearing and that's the only thing I noticed was different when transferring a patch over FTP and the USB program. This is just from the top of my head btw. :rolleyes:
I've never really used Filezilla so I'm not sure it would be as easy to change a files permission as it was pretty easy on an iPhone with WinSCP :/

so thats my problem i should of used the ftp server. man i was using that method a day b4 i updated this totally sucks

No just drag drop and replace. tahts all u have to do. the reason why this guy has no patches now is because u cant restore ur backup on a 3.41 ps3 and then use it on a 3.50
u have to have 2 ps3. FULLSTOP

no but even when i updated i had mossy's patch on and then i went to mw2 rite after i updated and it wasnt there any more

you have to stay at 3.41
