-I put the latest PSgrade dongle HEX on my PS3KEYYou must login or register to view this content.
-I downloaded the modified PUP and lv2diag from hereYou must login or register to view this content.
-I put the file 1 lv2diag and the modified 3.41 PUP in the root of my usb stick
-I shut my ps3 down, inserted the ps3key in the most right port(closesd to the BRD) and turn the main power on.
-I turned it on using power on, then press immediately eject and i got into factory service mode.
-Powered it up to see if it was in factory mode, it was.
-Shut down using the controller, inserted the usb stick with the file 1 lv2diag and the modified 3.41 PUP in the same port as my ps3key was.(The most right port)
Booted my ps3 and nothing happens, it just starts in factory service mode.

AT this moment i am stuck in factory service mode, unable to continue the downgrade of my ps3, and unable to go OUT of factory service mode!

I try'd to put the file 2 on the root of my usb and booted my ps3 butt nothing happens! (it was the only file on the usb and it is FAT32 format)

Really need help with this! Im already stuck in factory mode for the last 48 hours and no one seems to know the answer or they just don't reply.

PLEASE NGU HELP ME! Im totally frustrated and desperate at this moment!
:cry:

*UPDATE*

I got out of factory service mode! It was my usb that was bad.

Yeah that i already know, u need to place file 2 of the lv2diag.self on the root of ur usb and then when u boot it should go out of factory mode.
I already been in factory mode when i was on 3.50 and i used the same method to get out and it worked.
And now i try'd again to downgrade and now i'm stuck!
But thanks for the reply, so far no one seems to bother to help a fellow men out!:O

Would that work to get it out of factory mode?
i'm gonna try it dough cause at this point i'm already stuck in factory mode for 3 days and no one has come up with a solution.

The only thing i got my hope's up for is that i'm using a USB that doesnt work properly with my ps3.

So i'm getting a USB from a friend this evening that i already used before on my ps3 to get out of factory mode. So if that doesn't work i know that the usb is not the problem and i should look for other solutions.
