Video shows PS3 firmware downgrader

We lost Other OS support with firmware v3.21 and PS3 jailbreaking methods were blocked by v3.42. I'm sure there are a lot of you out there who wish you could go back to firmwares past, and someone claims to have the solution. Sketchy as it seems, a video shows a PS3 firmware downgrader that will allow you to go back and retrieve these "lost" features.

 

 

 

To reflect the poster's credibility (or lack thereof), I'll just give the video's description to you stright up:

 

Hello! A video to show how cool PSJailbreak team are. You can downgrade 3.50, (and hopefully future firmware) to any firmware you want. You can do 3.15 to get linux back, or 3.41 for the highest compatibility of homebrew support!

You have to have an original PSjailbreak (not a clone, if your device post less then 100 USD then you have a clone!!!)
Then you need to buy the PS downgrade. The psdowngrade is not a physical product, it is a software "coupon" that will allow you to downgrade. If you have a console already on 3.41 or less then you only need to buy the psjailbreak. the downgrade is only if you are over 3.41!

You can buy from here our store

 

Fact or fake? Let the scrutinizing begin.

seems to me this is just a way to sell more psjailbreak dongles :-?

but if it somehow works, that'll really be something.

y bother paying for something that eventually homebrew devs are gonna crack and release for free anyway?

IMO hacking the PS3 is pointless anyway

I would like it hacked enough to alter the memory space. Nothing more. I love tinkering with games.

Well it seems pointless to downgrade your PS3 if you decided to upgrade to 3.50 fw. There's a slight chance it upgraded itself but most did on their own.

People shouldn't even buy this because it'll work with other devices before you know it.

And the process of booting psJB every time is kind lame/boring.

PS3 needs a definitive CFW not a psJB.

3.50 fw is pretty good, no different than the others it just doesn't run psJB, but don't really care about it.

The guy from the vid said homebrew stopped working in 3.50 fw, I'm no expert but it was block on the 3.42 fw update.

"Well it seems pointless to downgrade your PS3"

What about all the cry babies that lost OtherOS? Now they can get it back and quit crying.

If they wanted it so bad then THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER UPGRADED. Simple as that.

I'm pretty sure that they weren't crying because they accidentally upgraded. They're complaining because they can't keep Other OS and stay connected to PSN, and this doesn't exactly change that.

There was plenty of people who updated PRIOR to the news getting out and are now stuck without OtherOS.

Some games support this feature, Sony leaves it up to the dev whether they want to add it or not. Microsoft does have a patent on the way they do in-game music, Sony took a different route obviously.

"Microsoft does have a patent on the way they do in-game music"

I'm pretty sure this is a rumor and not actually true.

Microsoft can't patent the ability to multitask, it's just the specific method they used that they might've patented.

That's what Hush404 said. I wasn't replying to Hush404, though, I was replying to psnbradfornum35.

And to answer, no; at the time of posting I hadn't read what Hush404 said.

But uhm... Cheers for pointing out my... "mistake", anyway?

WTF!?!?!?!?!

Q:What is the warranty?

A:PS downgrade is a 1 time downgrade. Please make sure you use properly. If your device is defective it will be covered under our 1 year worry free warranty.

1 Time???

It's retarded, but makes sense from a business standpoint; they don't want people downgrading and then letting others borrowing their dongle, only for the newly downgraded PS3 owners to buy one of the cheaper (and frankly superior) alternative dongles.

# noJOshISPoser 2010-11-19 22:00
Well, i'm pretty sure that's not the case. I think you're tricking the ps3 into thinking it's like an older fw. If you do try to downgrade again, you get semi-bricked.
I think it's their method, not their choice.

# RE: noUltimaXX 2010-11-19 22:15
That had occured to me too, and I agree that's a possibility, but given the extortionate rates the PS3JB team charges us for their products I figured it was almost equally likely that it was a delibate attempt to really monopolize on the service, too.

I suppose we'll find out fairly soon, depending on whether or not anybody online tries to downgrade several PS3s using the same dongle.

No, its their choice. It tricks the PS3 into service mode, thats all. Its a clone of an actual jig.

It just doesn't make sense to me. So you're on 3.5. You downgrade to be able to use PSJ. Now what? Can you upgrade again after you (do whatever) with PSJ? Or will you again lose the ability to use PSJ?

A PS3 that can't use PSN seems pretty useless. My PS3 does way more then just game discs.

Nope, no bricking happens. It was nothing but a tactic to get more money. You can now downgrade as often as you like.

http://www.psdowngrade.com/news

So now you can bounce back and forth. Not sure how healthy that is to the system but....ok.

Not to mention if Sony starts to log how many times you upgrade to a certain FW. Gee, look at this guy, he installed FW 3.5 73 times....hum....

QJ, you're kinda slow here. It's been confirmed real. It only works once becuase PSJB team has the dongle fuck itself afterwards, so you can't go and downgrade your friends consoles. Everything for it has been leaked and decrypted. All thats left is to get the PS3 to spit out the master key.

Wow, what an impressive news. Now I can loose access to the Playstation Network, lose the possibility to play GT5, and download 50GB games and burn them on 25$ blank BDs... my god, what a deal, I want that.. not! I prefer buying my games. (And you got that from a guy who had 200 ps1 copied games, 450 ps2 copied games, and around 45 x360 copied games, plus all PSP games and all DS games downloaded in the mega packs... so it's even shocking for me, lol). I prefer paying to have everything than "not paying" to have "other OS" WHO CARES!!! or even worse, to have homebrew... man, that's so useless... get a life man!

# RE: so??ISOHaven 2010-11-23 13:00
I agree, losing PSN would make my PS3 pretty useless to me. But there are tons of people that have no use for PSN. I have to admit, the idea of dumping Discs to Disk sounds pretty sweet seeing as how the BD drive is so friggen slow. I just upgraded my drive to a Hybrid Momentus drive and that alone made a little bit of a difference. I wold love to dump my discs to the drive.

For anyone above 3.41, this is cool!

I wonder, is there any way for me (3.41) to go to PSN using PSGroove? I heard it was blocked some week ago, is this problem solved?
