i am incredibly sorry if this has already been posted, but yes i am a n00b and i need help :mad:
i am considering buying an E3 flasher (the non soldering edition) and an extra hard drive (for dual boot), but i was wondering if i could upload custom patches for games (Mw2 CoD4 etc) and take them online (with or without patch blocker, i dont mind) somehow with the device..?

i was thinking of either-
* downgrading to 3.55cfw on one hd, uploading the patch and re-updating to take online? which is okay but a bit troublesome.
or else
*backing up the cfw ps3 HDD and restoring to the OFW HDD hopefully bringing the patch over as well? (it is backing up to the same ps3 still so i thought it might work)
Any help is much appreciated
(once again sorry if this is posted elsewhere or a bad description of my problem, it is my first thread ive ever started )

thanks man, but that sucks about the dlc n that though :/ because i downloaded mine off several accounts, i might get 3 HDDs , 1-3.72 with DLC 2-3.72 for hosting 3.cfw what do you think?

so its either use back-up and restore method, or use cfw to get patches and upgrade to 3.72 to take online, then downgrade again if i want to change it ?

have you tested the back-up and restore method? if so how long does it take?

thanks man

Just backing up took around 2 hours. Never restored yet. Not looking forward to either.

when I make my backups, I always delete everything except for the patch so it goes really fast :y:

good idea man !
so youve trialed this method with the e3?

Nope but I use another method useing backups and I know it will work.

smart man haha , well thats good then , thanks bro

why dont you just do a data transfer

i dont believe you read the question correctly, i do not have 2 ps3's i have 1 ps3, several HDDs and a E3 Flasher
you cant data transfer without 2 ps3's :/
so im going to most likely use backup and restore method
