Climbing up the ladder
BEFORE STARTING THIS PLEASE READ! THIS IS NOT A 3.66CFW OR DOWNGRADE THIS TELLS YOU WHAT FIRMWARE YOU CAN DOWNGRADE TO WHEN A 3.66 DOWNGRADE IS POSSIBLE!
Noob Tutorial!
Requirements:
- USB Stick (Any)
- PS3 on firmware 3.66
- MinVerChk - download link: You must login or register to view this content.
Once you have MinVerChk, and your USB ready with you, head on over to your computer and plug in your USB. Once in the USB just like a normal PS3 update, make a "PS3" folder, then an "UPDATE" in the PS3 folder, then in the UPDATE folder put the PS3UPDAT.PUP in there from the MinVerChk and head over to your PS3. Plug the USB to your PS3 and go to System Update in the Settings tab, go to "Update via Removable Hardware" I think well its the second option so you will know, you will see a weird name thing press X and there should be an error it will say "Update data of version X.XX or later can be installed on this system. " the X.XX is the firmware you are able to downgrade to, I can go to 2.70 so I'm fine.
Hope I helped people who were stuck on this.
----------------------------------------
Short Tutorial:
- A PS3
- MinVerChk ( top of page )
1 - Enter the MinVerChk in the Flash Drive, as if it were an upgrade.
2 - Insert the Flash Drive into the PS3.
3 - Install the update from XMB (This will fail and display the Firmware Base).

write in big bold red letters at the bottom "THIS IS NOT 3.66CFW OR DOWNGRADE BUT ALLOWS YOU TO CHECK THE LOWEST FIRMWARE YOUR PS3 IS COMPATIBLE WITH WHEN A DOWNGRADE COMES FOR 3.66, IF YOU ARE ON 3.55 THEN WITH QA FLAG YOU CAN SEE THE LOWEST FIRMWARE YOU CAN DOWNGRADE TOO"

You know, I'm confused.
This will just tell you what is the lowest firmwire you can go when there is a downgrade. If you are in 3.55 You can downgrade.
So THIS IS NOT A DOWNGRADE UNLESS ON 3.55
