Post: Question on backup (CFW) / restore (OFW)
02-15-2011, 10:17 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have a quick question that someone may have already tried and knows if if it will work or fail.

I have five PS3s, one of which I have on 3.55 CFW with some world at war zombies hacks on it. My son and I had some great fun on this in private matches/split screen, etc. but unfortunately before we discovered this he had already updated the one I gave him to 3.56.

I think I read somewhere that the ability to do this has been removed, or may not even be possible, but is it possible for me to back up my PS3 with CFW and restore it on his (OFW 3.56) and still have the hack as part of the patch? I dont know if the backup/restore option even works anymore, and I know it will not be jailbroken so you cannot ftp new files or anything, but that does not matter. I only have the zombies patched, thats it, so nothing else really matters in terms of limited functionality etc. on the 3.56

So, is it possible? Thanks in advance.

No, firmware is stored on the motherboard, The HDD has nothing to do with firmware so backing up/restoring wont do nothing :P.
You will just have to wait for a 3.56 cfw release or a confirmed and safe way of downgrading 3.56 ofw to 3.55 or 3.41

I do not want to transfer the firmware at all. I know it will not transfer. I want the second PS3 to remain on OFW3.56, but I was also looking for a way for the -modified- files that I put into the world at war zombies patches to transfer to the PS3 with the official firmware. That's all, so no blackb0x (that is the only jb app I have on there) or anything else that requires jb.

I guess it is comparable to me upgrading my CFW3.55 to OFW3.56. I lose my jailbreak, but the file I uploaded and overwrote still is on my system, so I still have the mods. So technically speaking, is it possible to transfer the files from the modified patch from my CFW PS3 to my OFW PS3?

Thanks for replying.
