1-If you mean the dongle you use to enter service mode then it depends on the dongle you've. Just search for PSGrade on this site and you will see. I've built my own using PIC 18f255 and hex files of PSGradePIC.
2-If I understood you well, then I believe (not quite sure) that your HDD will be formatted when you downgrade.
3-Yes, you can use it on as many consoles as you like.
4- I bought online from lightake (just google it) they ship to wherever you like and their price seems as low as it get.

Hope that was useful.

Hello and thankyou very much for your answer, regarding my 1st question, it´s that i use amazebreak.cc, but if it serves only to get into factory/service mode i can use PS3jig with my PSP wright? the thing is that i find many downgrade.bin files, but i don´t know wich one do i have to pute in the dongle...that is my priority question.and if you have a downgrade.bin link, i truelly apreciated.
the second one is do all the process of dwongarding with E3, disconect then, take the disk from the e-sata station and put it direcly on the ps3, what i didn´t understan is if i had to formated, now that you mentioned it, do i have to do that?if yes, can i do it on the pc, or do i have to format it on the PS3? do i have to formate in FAT32 file sistem?

sorry to many doubt´s, but i think i can get an answer here, no one else has answer me this properly

Yes, PS3jig will be just fine. You don't need any special bin. Anyone should do, because you just need it to enter service/factory mode.
As for HDD, I meant that once you downgradethe PS3 will (most probably) format your HDD, so make sure to backup any data before hand. BTW, I didn't bought the limited edition of E3 , instead I bought the regular version without the e-sata station to save some money. When I finished the job I just removed it and placed my HDD on it's original place in PS3 and now it's working great. I can use my E3 on any other console.

Don't worry and just proceed with it. The most important thing is to get a verified dump from your NOR. Once there no matter how you screw it can be fixed. Take a look at ps3devwiki, you will find some nice tips on how to verify your dump.

Hello and thankyou again for your son awnser,i finaly understand it, and i have to congrat you, because in almoust 10 forums, you where the only one, with a little bit o patience to answer me. keep up the good work. and thakyou very much.

By the way, just one last thing, my friend has is PS3 on 3.56FW, and i notice that with PS3jig i can´t enter in service mode, or it stays like that forever, if i put the file, E3Downgrade.bin, that is in the official site, on my dongle, would it work? Because in this case i only can use the dongle.

Do you know where can i find a list of compatibility of PS that can be downgraded, because i read somewhere, that i had to be carful with that, but in other way E3 site, says all FAT and SLIM until 4.00. can you enlighten me about this.

once again thankyou very very much

In any 3.56+ PS3, if you entered service mode you will stuck there, no solution yet (beside flashing a patched NOR dump).
The E3downgrade bin is related to the downgrade itself and not to entering service/factory mode.
In E3 website under product page there is a list of compatible models. Be warned though that while it may be compatible with your PS3 , you board may have different layout (PCB layout) than those given in the tutorials, it's not a big deal ..you just need to be creative in how to fold and twist the clip ribbon cable.

ok so if i understand you,PS3 with 3.56 and 3.60 that came with that firmware from store, i cannot do this they are undowngradable, wright, even if i upgrade them to 4.00 i cannot do this, or it´s for all 3.56, up until latest firmware 3.6x?
all others i can, and with the jig stuf i can enter no problem in the siystem recovery mode, and use the files that are in E3 Web site to downgrade, the folder that says "factory" and inside it "step 1 an 2" folder´s, so that way i can downgrade from 4.00, 3.70,3.71,3.72,3.73 to 3.55 correct?

thankyou very much once again for your atencion

-Yes, if ur ps3 launch firmware was 3.56+ then you can't downgrade.
-Exactly.

[J3SQ]

-Yes, if ur ps3 launch firmware was 3.56+ then you can't downgrade.

[Al_Jourgensen]

-Yes, if ur ps3 launch firmware was 3.56+ then you can't downgrade.
-Exactly.

but if the console is 3.7x to 4.00 i can, only between 3.56 and 3.6x, these ones are the consoles that stuck in service mode, is that it?because i find some lists but i don´t understand them.

sorry and thankyou
