    Hello,

    I have an X3Max here (bought before any 3.5X jailbreak announcements, if it gets anyone mad) and was wondering if it's possible to use it to downgrade the PS3. (From firmware 3.50 of course)

    I've read that the HEX files for downgrades don't work on it. I tried a few but they didn't work. So I was wondering.. is there maybe another way to do it? Flashing it with another tool or maybe some custom compiled hex or even another programming tool?

    If it doesn't work or isn't possible in any way I've an Amazebreak arriving tomorrow. But just it would be nice if this device could do it

    Thanks in advance,
    tehKitten

    The x3max has never released a downgrade and still has yet to release their rumored 3.50 jailbreak.

    But didn't they told us that their device was future proof and could handle all HEX files?

    The "conversion payload" is true, and it works try the new v3.55 spoofing one from ps3yes and it converts it just fine.

    But I don't know how many times to have I have to state it, the downgrade is not a PAYLOAD, it is totally different setup and system.

    All the so-called universal HEX converters fail, even the ones make for other dongles, and stand-alone programs like Maximus, they can't not handle the downgrading HEX it is not the same at all.

    There been at least I say FIFTY threads on this subject of x3max and not handling the downgrade.

    Ugh!

    I'm really sorry to open another thread then. I couldn't find it. (Perhaps the topics had a "help" or "downgrade help" like title?)

    Thanks anyway for answering.

    Hello, I have recently bought a x3max and i will admit I was one of the ones that based my decision off their 3.50 video release. Regardless of whether or not it is true I was wondering if any one knew of any downgrade hex files that might be compatible. Every one I try I get an error "file does not contain valid descriptor. Please try another HEX file." I have tried all of the fixed versions of psgrade by evil sperm with no luck. I wonder if the programming tool is just not capable of recognizing downgrade hex files? any thought?

    Thanks for any help.

    Sorry bud there is no downgrade avalible via the x3 atm sorry. Just hope their solution comes out soon or get another cheap device. Heck cell phones pda ipod 360 usb flasher all these have downgrade. The x3 is the only major dongle maker that has no 3.50 soultion. It is however my favorite dongle so see if you know someone with a cell or compatible calculator downgrade once and enjoy your x3 till they actually make a downgrade or 3.50 solution.


    Edit
    sorry the downgrade is not a payload so importing the hex will never work reguadless of hex.
