(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); OK since geohot released his hello world I have seen a few questions on how to get into service mode on a 3.55 PS3 and one post that has the wrong tutorial on how to do it.

This tutorial will show you how to get into service mode and out of it on a 3.55 PS3.

This will work with any dongle that allows PS3 downgrading.

Step 1:Insert dongle that has been programmed with the downgrade software into your PS3.

Step 2:Turn on the console using the same boot method as all other jailbreaks: Press power then immediately press eject. Your console will turn on wait a moment.

Step 3: Remove dongle and turn on console and you are in Factory/Service Mode. You will see a huge red box on the screen saying Factory/Service Mode.

Step 5: Now to get out of service mode downlod this file:You must login or register to view this content.

Step 6: Put that file in the root of a usb and insert USB flash drive into the last USB port to the right and power on your PS3. After 10 seconds it will power off.



Remove USB flash drive and turn on your console again. You will be out of Factory/Service mode and back in retail mode


Hope this clears everything up.

Any questions please ask.


EDIT: WHEN I SAY DONGLE I ALSO MEAN ANY DEVICE THAT ALLOWS DOWNGRADING THIS INCLUDES PORTS FOR PSGRADE ETC.

OKAY

Let me shed some light for Some People. This is only to test the current hack out.

NO YOU SHOULDN"T HAVE TO BUY ONE

Okay the current issue right now is that other then doing this, there is no other way to get Homebrew on nonejailbroken PS3, even if you could sign them. However CFW means we can. By Editing an OFW and adding option found in jailbroken console, then signing it the PS3 should be able to read it as if it were an OFW. So this means we will need a CFW if you want this to work on your console considering the PS3 in normal state has no way of reading PKG files if you just stick a USB in (unless JB/Downgrade).


I am not 100% sure, but i have a pretty good feeling that how it will end up being.
Some hackers have been tweeting that they got CFW, but during installation it seems to have failed on them.



So;

Jailbreak FW or Debug FW + Official Firmware + FailOverFlow Keys = Readable CFW

any body remember when PSP was that easy? Just put in a CFW and its read it just fine.



Also Downgrading is absolutely pointless now.
I see no reason to do it, considering that the first CFW or what ever failoverflow is planning on releasing plans to get Linux back on consoles. As prior to that, this is pretty much the new jailbreak, so everything you could do on jailbreak before 3.55 you should be able to do it once this hack releases.

where can i find a dongle? xD

but i inmagine to install the cfw u gonna have to put ps3 in service mode, which can only be done using jailbreak/downgrade usb?

that's another question, however Acid FW is using peek and poke and is based off jailbreak (that's when they started working on it). It's meant to be used and then return you back to normal.

With the recent news, it believe it is possible it merge a FW with custom feature and still have the PS3 be able to read it without a Jailbreak device. So no Device if the PS3 should be able to read it considering that it should be signed correctly as if it were an official update. Like i said though i am not 100% sure, but would like to think it's going to work like that, unless of course it continues to have installation issues.

this work with the clone?

iUse Ti-84

It is just proof that he can sign stuff. Nothing exciting.
