  • E3 Flasher News Update - For those confused by recent news

    There has been some confusion recently with the recent news released by e3-tech.net regarding the much anticipated E3 Flasher. The first bit was noticed by some of our readers dated 2011-10-18 below. So I contacted e3-tech.net via email to get some clarification on the subject.

    Hi,

    Can you clarify your latest news.

    "We renew two file to fix game problem after downgrade to 3.55 .Please note don't install any other 3.55FW after downgrade to 3.55, otherwise will have brick risk ! Click here to download the E3_downgrade file copy to TF(for one key downgrade)V1.2 and Enter and exit factory service mode file V1.2"


    Is this an updated file "e3downgrade to TF v1.2.rar" that had an error/issue that could cause bricks. People are asking if we can use other custom firmwares after downgrade using the new file. please advise.
    Regards

    1: you can’t install any other 3.55CFW or OFW
    2: after you downgrade to 3.55, it’s already a specialy 3.55CFW, we call it checkoff3.55 . you can’t install any other 3.55 CFW or 3.55 OFW on this system.
    3: you can install any manager on this checkoff 3.55 ! you can upgrade to 3.73 on this checkoff 3.55
    So there you have it. Once you downgrade you have to use their "special" v3.55 custom firmware and no other custom firmware or official firmware v3.55. I don't think this will appeal to many... if at all.




    On other e3-tech.net news. Today e3-tech has announced that they have successfully downgraded a PS3 from the latest official 3.73 firmware. So seems like Sony has not focused their attention to these downgrading methods....yet.
    2011-10-19
    E3 FLASHER LIMITED downgrade 3.73 to 3.55 successful, the downgrade way is same as 3.72 downgrade to 3.55, no change !
    Please note after downgrade to 3.55, this 3.55 is a special CFW3.55, you can install any manager you love on this 3.55CFW! here we upload a good working multman manager for user.
    We also add two new email address today, to get help, please contact help.e3@gmail.com;
    to enquiry sale question, please contact sale2.e3@gmail.com.

      OK im a little confussed here, why come you cant down grade lower than the FW your ps3 came with from the factory? I know if you flash the nor or nand you have to use a check patch but it seems to me if you flash the chip the firmwares on you should be able to go anywhere you want right?

      It's all about the 30/30 rule to help cut out the spam.
      Be a member for 30 days and have 30 posts.

      You've got the 30 day rule covered, now you just have 2 more posts to make (as of now, you have 28 posts) and you will be able to send a pm.
      With that said, It (most likely) will not happen instantly because the site updates once a day (I believe) and after it is updated then you will be able to send that pm out.


      I hope this helps you out.

      I see, well maybe about the time the ps3 is as old as the ps1 we'll be able to downgrade to everything.....I will never understand why sony doesnt want anyone to ever downgrade in Firmware.
