HELL IS HERE
There still a number of PS3 out there that after downgrading via 'Factory Service Mode', had lost their Blu-Ray movie playback because the DRL files got destoried, and there been a number of ways to recover them but none of they very easy, and most tutorials never were not 100% successful on the earlier 256mb NAND FAT PS3 Consoles, but thanks to the recent QA Flag finally being disclosed a few months ago, old-time scener Mark Webber has returned to give one last good tutorial on how to recover your Blu-Ray movie playback on these Sony PS3 Consoles:

You will need to QA flag your PS3
IF you are on 3.55: Using the special 3.55 downgrade PUP by Jaicrab, then down again to 3.15 or 3.41 using stock PUP files
Follow this guide to QA flag your PS3

PLEASE ALSO BE AWARE THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE STATING THAT THE TROPHY SYSTEM GETS MESSED UP !!!!!!!! FOOLS RUSH IN .........
Note: Only works on Otheros++ 3.55 or 3.41 CFW at the moment, so you'll have to reflash to it, then go back to your cfw's
(i.e 3.55 CFW > Otheros++ > QA Flag > 3.55 CFW )
|Requirements| instalation instructions|
PS3 on OtherOS++ 3.55 CFW PUP You must login or register to view this content.
rename it to PS3UPDAT.PUP
install the firmware
QA Auto Flag .PKG You must login or register to view this content.
install the qa_flag.pkg
then run the qa_flag program
if you hear a beep, it worked.
restart ps3
Go to network settings (Do not enter it) and hit or hold L1+L2+L3+R1+R2+down on the dpad
QA auto flagging is now done
Turn on the 'system update debug' in the debug settings
Play a BD disc with the highest MKB version you can get..Latest release from Blockbuster or whatever.
Note: It may start to play and then you get no video output to the tv.
This happened a few times to me.
Just power off, accept the "naughty boy" messgage from Sony and try again until it plays.
If it keeps doing this, you need to change to AV or component leads since your TV seems to not be 100% HDMI/BD compliant.
I have tested this on several (at least 5) PS3's with 100% success rate.
