(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys.
So i was thinking... Yesterday i took my hdd out of my ps3 to plug it into my computer to get the trophy files to use GetYourPlatinum v1.0.
The outcome of that was a fail....
Put it back into my PS3 and it said it could not read the HDD and i had to download a firmware from the computer and put it into the usb and select the firmware to download.
(deleted 80 GB of saved game data :'( so sad....)
What if you could take the hdd out of the PS3, format it on a computer, plug it back into the ps3 and upload an older OFW via USB?

Who thinks this might work?
Anyone got an extra HDD to test this theory?
Or has this been thought of before? if it has please close

If sony only made it where the fw is stored on the hardrive then they would be in big trouble because people would do what you are trying to do right now. I'm pretty sure some of the fw is stored on the hardrive but most must be saved on the RAM and NAND or maybe all of it is on it.

couldnt we just extract the RAM or the NAND and screw with it and then inject it back into the ps3?
