PS3 downgrade is v3.42

:D na ir pazvengiau . siaip tel nuo batarkes ir dirba. ps3 dirbs nuo itampos laido.o jei darant update isjungsi ps3 ,tai galesi atsisveikint su ps3 .raso kas neisjungt jokiais budais.

o ta batarke kur yra ant motinos tai tu imk kiek nori,nusimes tik visi nustatymai i default ir tiek,tas pats kas ir pc atsitinka.

ne nu ten buvo geras bajeris..hmm tikrai kaip padaryt kad ps3 pamirstu kokia fw turejo isirases?? ne nu.. luzt galima rimtai cia...

o mechaninis downgradinimas geras biznis. as surenku visus YLOD ps3.pataisau juos ir tada mechaniskai downgradinu naujus ps3. man naujos motinos ,jum senos pusiau pareja.ir man dar uz tai $$$$.

TARKIM viduri update isjungi ps3,tada ijunges is flash paleisi nauja update(koki nori ar reikia) ,suprantu skamba juiokingai,bet kazin ka butum sake pries kokius 3 metus jei butu pasake kad su telefu arba usb galesi nulauzti ps3 ,butum cia myzes i kelnes

Firmware is located in the flash, not the hdd. Deleting the update info on the hdd doesn't reset the firmware (theres a backup flash chip to reset it.)"

and

"The 2.40 update is downloaded then stored on a flash chip which is dedicated to storing the firmware, the firmware is then installed from the flash to the HDD, replacing the HDD with force the 2.40 firmware to reinstall itself to the new or formatted HDD. This is officially what Sony have said to do in the event of you experiencing this bug, it is very inconvienient for some as they do not have a backup of their gamesave."
