(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); member a few weeks ago Mathieulh released a video of the QA flagged PS3? To refresh your memories; the QA flag is the internal console flag used by Sony, it enables hidden options and removes restrictions for both retail and debug consoles alike. It is used for QA centers and the R&Awesome face 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”.

I'm not digging the fact that he's "Teasing" us. What is the purpose of knowing how to do something, demonstrating it and then saying, "But...I'm not showing you guys." Way to help the community bro!

That's not the token. Those are just two of the three keys needed to decrypt the dummy token. They have all three keys over at Psx-Scene, but then we need to figure out what to add to the dummy token to make it advanced. Once that happens re-encrypt and there's your token. If Math was telling the truth (which he usually does) then the keys are PS3 specific and won't do you any good. So we'll need to get the Dev to post a tutorial on how to find your own keys for your PS3 then we'll move forward.

Banning was invented for people like you. He did answer your question. You can't, you need CFW in order to complete the steps to unlock QA flagging.

Now answer my question: Why would you update to 3.61?
