Here is the leaked file for the psdowngrade with setup instructions and how to use it.
The files used to flash the PSDowngrade and its readme have also leaked! These files are for a specific person’s dongle.
So there is no reason for the average user to try and flash them. However, they may be reversed, which would lead to a free method of downgrading.
The readme references files such as lv2diag.self and a modified 3.41 pup file.
For those of you that don’t know, lv2diag.self is the name of a file used in conjunction with Sony’s official Service Jig.
It seems the jailbreak team has reverse engineered that jig, this time around.

In addition, the official PS Jailbreak team announced via their website, the legitimacy of PS Downgrade. Stating their device now supports 3.42, 3.50 and beyond. However, I wouldn’t upgrade just yet, as this seems like just an advertising push for their downgrade, not actual support for 3.42 and 3.50.

When u restart your ps3 it will have its own MAC address back and the real size of the console

Ok well i think you got me there, but why is the clock on "0:00"?, and one more thing, if it was legit, at least he'd show u the fw version after he booted into retail mode

its 0:00 as all the settings are reset, the date turns to 1/1/00 aswell.
for that second part i don't no why he doesn't show the FW, but i believe that its real. like that found(robbed) the hack for the ps3 that no-one could, so why couldn't they find(steal) a downgrade.
The only reason people didn't believe them is because they promised a hack 3.42 and 3.5 which they haven't provide

The goal here is to downgrade so then you can jailbreak so no you dont. You would need a PSJailbreak dongle in order to do this though. Maybe just maybe It will be ported to all the devices that were able to jailbreak the PS3 in the first place.
