(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I don't care if this is leaking, been posted or just plain common sense. I'm posting it as a tutorial for the noobs.
Plus there are rumors that people are going to be/are getting banned for running CFWS.
Not trying to create hysteria, but that's the word on the street.

This is to help anyone who is worried about getting banned because they are running CFW's.

Follow the same steps as you did to install the CFW, only switch the CFW updat.ps3 with You must login or register to view this content. from playstation.com.

For those of you who don't know, you download the file, and put it onto a usb gigstick/thumbdrive/whatever you want to call it in this format:

F:/PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP

Then just put the gigstick in your ps3, goto system update, and update via USB DEVICE, NOT INTERNET.
Please Note: you may or may not have to do the update in SAFE MODE. Apparently you must use an actual usb gigstick, PSP's or other "mass storage devices" don't work. (APPARENTLY)
If you get an error when trying to update via storage device that says: "No applicable update found"
then you need to do it in safe mode. REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU MAY HAVE HEARD, SAFE MODE DOES NOT RESET YOUR PS3!!!
You must login or register to view this content.


Here's some important information:
YOUR APPS AND PATCHES STAY ON YOUR PS3 AFTER YOU GO BACK TO OFW 3.55.[/u]
That's right, they do! The only thing that you lose is the ability to install packages.:(

This means:
FTP still works
Patches still work (you can still host lobbies)
Awesome File Manager Works for some, not for others.

So if you're worried about getting banned for CFW, go back to OFW. It's very easy to do, and there's no ill side effects.



======================================Update================================

So apparently some people are having problems doing this on european ps3s. I do not know why though.

Samberg has explained to be that Awesome File Manger did not change his patch after he went back to OFW :(

Apparently the best thing to do is get Black-Box FTP. Run it OFFLINE, and Delete your boot history

Siga los mismos pasos que hiciste para instalar el CFW, sólo cambiar el CFW updat.ps3 con este PS3UPDAT.PUP oficial de playstation.com.

Para aquellos de ustedes que no saben, se descarga el archivo, y lo puso en un gigstick usb / pendrive / lo que quieras llamarlo en este formato:

F: / PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP

Luego sólo hay que poner el gigstick de tu PS3, actualización del sistema goto, y actualización a través de dispositivo USB, NO INTERNET.
Nota: es posible o no tener que hacer la actualización en modo seguro. Al parecer, usted debe utilizar un gigstick USB real, PSP u otros "dispositivos de almacenamiento masivo"no funcionan. (Al parecer)
Si se produce un error al intentar actualizar a través de dispositivo de almacenamiento que dice: "No hay actualizaciones aplicables se encuentran"
entonces tienes que hacerlo en modo seguro. INDEPENDIENTEMENTE DE LO QUE HA ESCUCHADO, MODO SEGURO NO REINICIAR LA PS3!
Tutorial sobre el arranque de su PS3 en modo seguro aquí.

He aquí algunos datos importantes:
Sus aplicaciones y parches de permanecer en su PS3 VEZ QUE VOLVER A OFW 3.55.
Así es, sí! Lo único que se pierde es la capacidad para instalar paquetes.

Esto significa:
FTP aún funciona
Parches siguen trabajando (todavía puede albergar grupos de presión)
Impresionante el Administrador de archivos sigue funcionando

Así que si estás preocupado por conseguir prohibido para CFW, volver a OFW. Es muy fácil de hacer, y no hay efectos secundarios malos.

Everyone who thinks I'm doing this for attention, shut up. I'm just making it easier to find, calm down.

And edge, the reason I didn't post any links to files that people should install before going back to OFW is because I didn't want to leak anything. But feel free to edit the post and add some files if you wish.
