Department (there are 2 levels of QA flags, Minimum and Advanced). In short it could lead to a complete open PS3…and yes all the CFW, homebrew and backup manager your little heart desires.You must login or register to view this content.
Well the method of how to “QA flag” your PS3 was never posted/revealed but since then plenty of hints have been given in attempts for the “scene”, and one of the first steps was to figure out the secret button combo. Well after weeks of people trying and moaning, the man behind the emulators – squarepusher 2 has released/posted information on exactly what that button combo was. Noobs do not try this – the guide below is still a work in progress and QA flag button combo is the icing on the cake.
How to QA Flag your PS3, the button combo:
1. Be on 3.55 OFW (no rebug): You must login or register to view this content.
2.Move the PS3 cursor/select “Network Setting“
3.Punch the following button combo with your PS3 controller: L2 + L1 + R1 + R2 + L3 + D-pad Dow
4. Thats it, the “Edy Viewer”, “Debug Settings”, “Install Package” Menu will now appear.
Notes and disclaimers:
Install Package is useless and can’t install homebrew at the moment – only signed PKGs (and the first one in root of USB only).
This is not all that is needed to QA flag your PS3, but its a big start for the community – we still need all the pieces to fully QA flag the PS3 and its the scenes job to “figure out the rest”.

Guys stop hating, you're the reason he's not releasing.
And he's shown these "teasers" of stuff if you will because the PS3 hacking community is indeed just that, a community and this is how it is. If you're only interested in leeching for piracy & CFW-modded-lobby purposes and you aren't going to contribute to the community then STFU.

Are you high?
To everyone button mashing their controllers for the combo sequence, it's not going to work. Your console needs to be QA flagged first. So we need two things. The button combo which apparently you can get by reversing the vsh.self and a Qa flagged console. I'm not sure how to do either but good luck to anyone who attempts to do so.
If someone is able to get their console QA flagged, then i guess button mash away lol.
