(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay, so I know The title Says alot. Maybe Disceving however, Im familiar with how coding works.
as far as computers, i know several languages, so dont go flaming before you read the whole thing.
I understand how things work in general, i however am not familiar with ps3 coding, as, ive only had one for only over 2 years now, did simple mods way back. Had a jailbreak and accidentally updated to 4.31 and well hadnt downgraded.

So the point is, Figuretively speaking, would you be possible, to decomplie the pups and add certian things from both 4.41 update, to the 3.55 update, kinda like a spoof I dont even know if thats possible. And i know we have nothing close to the new keys. :/ OR anything allowing For a USB jailbreak. Sadly

I hope you dont flame just curious to how it all works i guess.
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Cheers Mates.

nope they 4.xx CFW are 4.xx FW's they are just signed with the 3.55 keys, thats why we can only get on them by installing it from jailbreaking 3.55 (i believe this is correct but someone correct me if im wrong)

is it not possible to find 3.55's keys and replace the newer firmware(s) keys with the 3.55 ones?

Yes you can, this is actually how they create 4.xx CFW. They extract the PUPs and modify the files and re-encrypt them with 3.55 keys, that's why they can only be installed on top of OFW 3.55.

They cannot be installed on top of 3.56+ OFW because the keys have changed and nobody knows them.

So what would it take to decrypt them?

You need the private keys which would be locked somewhere in Sony's headquarters...
