Post: My progress on a 3.56 downgrade PS3 SLIM

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello guys, I'm trying to downgrade my PS3 system and I noticed something. When I unplugged the power cable when it's INSTALLING (so not copying) the update, plug it back in the first thing that's booting is my USB device, i'm now putting some 3.55 ofw on it and I'm going to see what's happening...

Pls don't flame me, I'm actually trying now... I'll be back in 10 minutes for an update

I noticed in the % bar between 3% and 22% there is no orange light that is blinking

I think i'm getting the puzzle completed. I opened the official 3.56 pup file and I saw some cool stuff there, first there is a "header" with some code and then I see some <xml> tags starting with the TOS in every single language. I can see it's version 1.14 of the TOS and copyright 2009 by Sony. Where the xml closes I see the firmware files.

I opened the geohot jailbreak and I couldn't see a difference in the head but now i'm gonna change the files, just the files so I don't touch the head so the PS3 still thinks it's 3.56 and replace it by the Geohot jailbreak. As we all now Geohot there is some cool easter egg in his jailbreak:

Kinda sad. I seen this was the number one question, so jumped on it, and was like uhhh, wtf?! Hahah. Poor guy. I wonder if he ever bricked his PS3.

Dude the ps3 is made not to downgrade. You have to edit software and go through hoops to be able to downgrade. Bricking is not a valid method because it has no change in the software to allow such.
