E3 flasher downgrade OFW4.0 to 3.55 successfully, it's same way as downgrade 3.73 to 3.55.
We suggest user upgrade to OFW4.0 and then downgrade to 3.55 from now on. And don't forget backup your OFW4.0 bios well .

So this will work for dualboot OFW 4.00 and CFW 3.55. How awsome!

A question, I can go online (PSN) with OFW right?

Edit: I would like to know if this site is good to buy E3 Flasher: You must login or register to view this content.

Has everything, even esata station, and for a good price (for my country currency)

Cheers

Hey guys!

so i just watched a video on the e3 flasher install, and i had three questions that really keep bugging me.

So my First was, after i have complete everything on the install video like he showed , and i successfully get the downgrade on the ps3 will i have to repeat the downgrading process every time i want to switch between a backed up game to my regular disc games or is it a one time only process, like once you do the process everything is pretty much final.

Second, will i still be able get on the psn? and play my games online?

and my last one, i have parental settings set up because i have a household of children running around. And i was wondering if once the full installation is complete with the downgrade process finished also, will I be able to set up the parental settings again, without having to worry about them being removed every time I have to do the downgrade process?(this one kind of goes with my first question) anyways thanks in advance.

1.You can play backed up and games on disc while in CFW. You cannot play the backed up games on OFW

2.You will not be able to go on PSN while you are on CFW as it is not the current firmware version. You will be prompted to update as soon as you sign in. You also run the risk of getting your console banned from PSN

3.This i am not sure of. I believe it wipes data that is not backed up when flashing but do not quote me on this as I am not certain. BUT with dual boot supported you could switch between CFW and OFW with settings saved.


On another note, I am currently about to buy another PS3 and an E3 flasher. I am also very interested inn the 4.0 project thats going on. I like the idea of piracy support not being included. I believe in supporting the brands that you like by actually purchasing the content you enjoy.

Hi

I installed the flasher and was to take a backup, but it fails. E3flasher txt on the micro flash tells medit cant connect to nor... So I reopen the PS3 again to make sure its right, it is.... So now I dont know what to do coz I cant do shit with it.
The E3 flasher homepage is down, so seems like a big scam to me even Ive heard lots of ppl having sucses with it.

I got the correct version of a PS3 so it should be able to downgrade

Sorry for bad english:-)

Kind regards from sweden
