This would be my first post and my first downgrade, so be gentle

Yesterday I have received my not new E3 flasher with SATA station,
because I don't know if the dongle will work that comes in package (its all from CHINA,
and the guy bricked his PS3 and did not want to continue using the E3 Limited anymore)
When I was talking to him he said that that dongle requires to
downgrade even lower than 3.50, so I am not sure for the dongle thingy.... that's why...

I have decided that your method on YouTube would be best for me.


My PS3 is: PS3 Slim
CECH - 2004A
Date Code: 9D
OFW: 3.70

Questions:
1. Do I have to upgrade first my PS3 model to OFW :4.46 , and just then do the downgrade to 3.50
or should I leave the OFW as it is?
2. Or would you recommend upgrading to OFW : 4.50
3. Is it not dangerous to take out the SD card, and put it back, from E3 flasher while the PS3 is working?
(this would be good, because it would save me some time)

Thank you for your patience.

I was thinking: rogero 4.46 v1.01, because it's already tested, but if you have better suggestion I am up for it.

Thank you for your reply.

That's great.
I would like to ask you one more thing,

If PS3 comes to me with OFW: 4.50 and is downloadable , I should do the same downgrading procedure,
with no upgrade of my E3 flasher (because the Samsung update is already there)
just use these files:

``````````For people on 4.50OFW, use these files:````````````
