DOWNGRADING THE PS3
Sorry, I fell asleep last night :P
Can you not just very simply, download the 3.41 PS3 FW, open it with HxD and change 3.41 to 3.50?
During the update it says
"Be sure you have 3.50 or later installed on Portable Device."

Your tricking it into thinking it's 3.50 but really it's on 3.41.

ATTEMPT I
I just tried this method and I will report changing 3.41 to 3.50 does not work, I am now going to try 3.51 and if that also doesnt work I will format the USB to FAT32.

ATTEMPT II
I have just tried 3.51 and that has also failed. I will now format the USB stick to FAT32 and hope goes well.

ATTEMPT III
Formatted to FAT32 and received no luck. Read below for information on a great idea I had.

If it doesnt.. I have a plan.
heres a clue..
a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net

THE PLAN
My plan is to use a Proxy Server (Anon?) whilst doing this, as that is where all the updates of the Playstation 3 are. I'd say PS3 is connecting to them servers to say whether it's 3.50 or not, and if you try to go down a firmware, it returns nothing. Might sound stupid, but the stupidest things become the smartest.

PLEASE NOTE
Soon a new System Update will be available. DO NOT UPGRADE as I've thought of the most ingenious idea ever.

If you read my updates you'd see I changed the HxD to 3.51. This will be the system Software Update and as soon as it's live it will enter into the PS3's Online Registry making this possible to be able to update to 3.51 with all the old things.[/b]

Just press Ctrl+F then type in 3.41 and hit find. But make sure its the actual 3.41 you have, not 3.50.
