(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I am in no way a god at hacking but i just got a crazy idea and i wanna see if it can be done.

Ok so heres my theroy. What if we took the HDD out of a PS3 on FW 3.41 and copied all its contents. Then we took the HDD out of a PS3 on FW 3.50 and completely erased everything on it. Then take the data you have from the 3.41 HDD and copied it to the blank 3.50 HDD.

I can't test this as i have no ps3 on fw 3.41.
Also i thought i heard something about the FW being on the NAND drive so if that is true than this is useless. Don't flame me if it is as i am a n00b at this stuff.:O

This is the same theory that I see in every theory thread lol, the firmware is put on a certain part actual ps3 not the HDD meaning this will just wipe your two hdd's and you'll lose all your stuff on them.

Won't work the update isn't located in the HDD, it's located in the NAND drive. =/

NAND drive? NAND is a memory chip, not a drive.

Anyways, proven false already.
