(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Was just looking at some FTP stuff then all of a sudden an idea popped in my head on maybe a way to downgrade.

You know those games that require updates to play them e.g: MW2. What if we replaced the firmware on the disk with a lower firmware? it could work if we edit the .PUP or something...

At least I can fight
There are just times when you want to smash you PS3 and Sony with a sledge hammer. The amount of things that are put in place in order to stop us from hacking it is unbelieveable. Money well spent on security on Sony's half.

So for you to do it, I would think you have to not only mod a file in the hdd to think that it is lower to get the lower fw.

But also, trick the nand to think it is flashed with lower..


ok, first off i play xbox so i know abit about it, the firmware is stored on the nand? im not sure but whatever im just throwing ideas, on xbox with Jtags if you bodge the flash you can bridge two pins on the nand to erease it all, if you get someone with the firmware you want to be on to copy theyre firmware and send it to you, then maybe you could flash that firmware to your ps3?

what if we get a lower firmware and trick the ps3 into thinking its a updated e.g: 3.50 or something?
