thank if this helped you!

thers no way ATM to decrypt the patch on 3.30 ^^ so we u need a ps3 with lower update to get linux on it

IT SAID No applicable update was found'

WAIT i have an idea it might just work someone told me if you do a full format it resets the fw you got the ps3 ,,on so then you can try and install that it a higher FW if it works i take credit LOL

Nope, even if you full format the drive it will NOT work, Ive had to fully format my drive a few times in the past it takes several hours and there is no way to downgrade the PS3 FW.

hahaha yeah i agree w/ HSx9... he is legend
thank you for the prestige :love:

The link says "how to update/upgrade your ps3 via PC".
NOTHING ABOUT DOWNGRADING!!!
U have posted how u upgrade it via PC + why didnt you try it before you posted? :mad:

hahahaha IKR he fails

Nope that will not work because your firmware version is installed on the PS3 it self, not on the HDD.

Hey guys it does work, only when there is an available upgrade though, therefore, you can't downgrade 3.30 yet. According to NoobsBelowMe, just wait until the e3.[/FONT]
