I haven't heard that news about sony removing the FSM from 4.4X.
Yes, the auto flash patcher was created to make it the process way faster and eliminating the need of FSM.
But, since a new 4.55 update has came out, neither has Rogero, Proskopina or SMHabib have update the patch1n.bin & patch1r.bin, in the DATA folder, for 4.55. So, by my knowledge the only way to downgrade from 4.55 is the good ole fashion way. But, I haven't done it that way for a while.
So, what your telling me is that PS3s below 4.4X can only be downgrade with either FSM or NO FSM?
Also, that PS3s higher than 4.4x can only be downgraded using the NO FSM method?
I find that really odd Alchy :confused:
