How to return to 3.50 OFW (stock) from 3.55 CFW?

[Donotwant]

Scince I've updated my PS3 (slim; 320gb; 3.50 stock) CECH204B to 3.55 CFW I was wondering how to restore the 3.50 stock-OFW or at least the 3.55 OFW because I'm afright using PSN running an CFW.

Is it enough to reformat the HDD and use "Restore PS3 System" from the Recovery Menu?

reinstall 3.55 using recovery menu...

Format your hard drive to delete everything and restore your firmware in recovery mode. Or you can send me your ps3 and go buy a new one.!!!

Like said above, I would format your PS3. I think that way your logs sent to sony will be gone. If you don't know how to get into recovery mode:

Turn off your PS3.
Press and hold the power button until the PS3 turns off.
Press and hold the power button until you hear one beep, then a double beep.
RIGHT when you hear the double beep, take your finger off the PS3.
Plug controller in with the USB cord.
Go to step #6, and go back to OFW.

Just in case you didn't know (you probably do):

Get 3.55 OFW from sony's website, and on your flash drive, make a folder on the root called PS3, and inside that a folder called UPDATE and then put the PS3UPDAT.PUP in the UPDATE folder. Hope I helped.

HAHAHAAA!!!! sorry but thats rofl!!! Ounce u connect and go online your "Logs" are sent to there server where it is SAVED, then they can keep logs of every console and then ban.


lol..

i think i heared one of the phone converstations on Sony Technical Support; that they can still ban your console even if you fully formatted your HDD or using the recovery menu to revert back in to OFW.

Cross fingers till the 3.60 or maybe a ban wave began.

thanks.

formating HDD + 3.55 OFW (recovery menu) worked fine.
