FIRST OF ALL, BECAUSE SOME COMMENTS ON THIS THREAD THIS IS NOT A DOWNGRADE FROM 3.56 + this is a tutorial for Re-Marry a BD drive

Seeing the problems is having people make the process of changing readers donwgrade defective or fail to do this tutorial to make the process easier.
We need:
A jig Dongle (in my case a teensy 2.0).

The PS3 which we will change the reader and other BD drive (currently only valid with the PS3 FAT 20, 40 and 60 GB as it is that support down to the version 2.30).

The files for readers RE-MArried filtered Lv2Diag.self for the service mode (the original and modified for version 3.55) and 3.41 firmwares Spoof to 3.41 (should be in version 3.55), version 3.15 and the 2.30 (PS3UPDATE.PUP).

7 º Once finishs
in root of your usb put the files Lv2Diag.self and firmware version 3.41 PS3UPDAT.PUP Spoof of 3.56 (the lv2diag to write the firmware must be 366 KB)
You must login or register to view this content.

and put the device into the USB port 4 if it is a 20/60 GB PS3 or port 2 if a 40 GB PS3

and turn on the console with the Power button.

8 The console will light and NO video show during the recording process of the firmware (its normal), takes 5 to 7 minutes to complete the process,

the green light flashes a few seconds and the console will turn off by itself;

fter making the process the console will be in version 3.41 Spoof 3.56, repeat step 7 and go down to version 3.15 FW, repeat it again to download directly from 3.15 to 2.30 simply by changing the PS3UPDAT.PUP

9 º Once the console is in version 2.30 and still in the service mode
connect the flash drive to your PC, delete all contents and put in the files for remarry readers the PS3UPDAT.PUP version 2.30
just like this:

and connect the flash drive to USB 2 or 4 according to the model of your PS3, turn on the console with the Power button and wait till it goes off by herself.

12 º Finally disconnect the flash drive, connect the controller with a USB cable sinaxis to the console and reconfigure the console because rewriting the firmware from the service mode all settings is deleted.

PROBLEMS

Poor connection of the reader or defect in the wires that would cause the downgrade process is interrupted leaving it imcomplet (we recognize that the green light flashes and does not turn off the console), check the connection of theBD drive or try another LOL

A badly edited standalone.cfg file may cause failure in the execution of the program that prevents the reader's remarried, the structure of the file is this:

Hey, i have a ps3 with a broken bluray BMD-002 board and i dont want to re-marry it by soldering the old chip to a new board.

Does your tutorial work for my FAT PS3 wit 40GB which is on the original 3.56 firmware ??

Please Answer !
