(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I was thinking about attempting to figure out how to downgrade and here is what i came up with that MAY possibly eventually work.

Patch Swaping
Something along the lines of this NOTE:This prolly wont work straight of the bat........but im brainstorming.....i think something could come out of this, or something similar to this

Step 1: Download the patch from the sony site.
Step 2: Download an older patch from somewhere.
Step 3: Get 2 identical usb drives
Step 4: Name the drives the same name, and configure them the EXACT same
Step 5: Load the new patch on 1 and the old patch on the other
Step 6: Go on your ps3 and go to install the patch.....but dont do it yet, make sure you select install from storage media.
Step 6: Let the patch go to install......AS SOON AS IT GOES TO START LOADING THE PATCH OF THE STICK SWAP THEM (Note: You would have to do this as soon as it verified there was a new patch on the usb)

If it is possible to edit the patch we might be able to do this and change the older patches version information to the new patches version information. If anyone has any interest in trying this i will try to help you.
EDIT: Tomorrow i will try to get 500 meg usbs and try this if i have time

Probably was thoguht of by Sony. Let me know if anything works

I will update this if i find anything.......but right now this looks semi-possible......if anyone would like to help pm me

Not going to work as the usb's might have the same name, but they all have their own "name" that you can't change

Im going to try this on recovery mode (or whatever its called ) Im downloading the patches now and ill ost back with what happens.

I applaud you for thinking outside the box 404!
