Failed to downgrade and now stuck!

[thorsson33]

Have some problems, tried to downgrade my PS3 that came with 3.50 preinstalled that dident turn out so well and now i cant get it to work.

Tried the Lv2diag.self FILE 1 + 3.50 but just keep blinking green.
Also tried Lv2diag.self FILE 2 then to put 3.50 in PS3\UPDATE folder but that dont work either.

Someone knows what i do wrong?

Well, you need to follow the instructions for starters. Why are you trying to use 3.50 PUP? Try an original 3.41 or the modified 3.41 that's in the DGF.rar archive.

Sry dident say that i first falid to use modified 3.41 and now just want to get it to work agian when i try to downgrade it just keep blinking green.
Same with 3.50 now

So, try the an original 2nd release 3.41. Follow the downgrade instructions from the start (not doing this will keep you in the position you're in now). You have to do the whole process over w/ the 3.41 unmodified firmware. If that doesn't work, start all over from the beginning again, but use the modified 3.41. I don't think there has been one person that hasn't fixed an issue from screwing up their downgrade originally. You just have to start over and make sure to do all the steps again.

Just hold down your power button for like, ever, and it'll show something relevant eventually. Details are foggy.

Green Light Blinks? PS3 Doesn't shut off? STOP
Unplug the USB stick and make sure you load in the Modified PUP file.

Plugin the Thumb Drive in the right most USB with Lv2diag.self FILE 1 & PS3UPDAT.PUP in the root.

Have tried this but it just keep blinking green.
The only way to get it to start is to load Lv2diag.self FILE 2 but then the black screen whit the text "blabla connect something with version 3.50 or later" and i have tried it but it dont work

did you say you put in the Lv2diag.self FILE 2? then you took it out of service mode.

RE-Read the comments above! You need to RESTART from beginning.
