Ok my 3.55 fat ps3 is in recovery and when i turn it off and plugin
my usb drive thats not formatted cause i got my games on it

into the second usb slot and turn it on

it shows the icon and my usb loads for a bit,

and then it just starts up ps3 like normal back into recovery menu

i got file 1 lvl2diag.self in root as well as the update.watever file that was included in that download of this thread.

i further more go into system settings and it still says 3.55.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

im not sure im sure i read it needs to b fat32

if u get it right ur ps3 should kick up in factory service mode and from there u can downgrade

im on 3.55 ut havent tried to downgrade

from what i read ur ps3 is booting up normal or into recovery menu i think

no im in factory / service mode


and i think i got it

in the tutorial it says to put the update. i forgot in the root of the usb

but i also put it in ps3/ update/ here

and so far it loaded up and is blank screen and my usb is flashing meaning datas being transfered so i think its working now


and reason im downgrading is cause of this banning shit , also

3.41 is best, my opinion. also i can data transfer from 3.41 to 3.56

my other ps3 3.56

my friends doing it and its working for some reason 3.55 to 3.56 didnt work
im hoping

since back in day

my original 3.41 to 3.55 worked that it now works with 3.56 liek it is with my friends


EDIT IT WORKED IM NOW MOVING ON TO NEXT STEP if you
