correct

Well that's good, thanks for confirming that

@Quakes69 - What was your stock firmware?

[landlord]

I just read that this bricks slim ps3s, is this true?

I only know about one (SERVICE MODE DOWNGRADING - 3.55 [OUTDATED]) PS3 system with problems.

[[C*]]

I'm assuming this method doesn't wipe the hard drive since it's updating the normal way. Otherwise my PSN spending spree won't make much sense if the DRM file gets wiped (doesn't Rebug allow activation/deactivation of consoles though?).

Thank goodness people after biggie tried, I saw his post earlier and just assumed this method was not working.

[cookie42]

Well it's a 120gb, so obviously it's not a stock 3.42/3.50/3.55

[ChaosZero112]

It's like a cooking recipe you know ? It's not the one that cooks that gets the credits for it, it's the one that writes it.

Gordon Ramsay has cooked other peoples' recipes...
And we know the name Gordon Ramsay and not the "other people"...

Not arguing for or against...

But if you didn't want someone taking credit, you should have just released it yourself. :P

[NCspecV81]

I stopped at 3.15 and booted back in retail mode and my hdd was reformatted. I still have all my backups and my installed pkg's like multiman, bbftp, comgenie, ect. Only thing that didn't follow was my user. So instead of NCspecV81 it's *user1

[Omnomnom]

Well it's a 120gb, so obviously it's not a stock 3.42/3.50/3.55

Yes of course, I was just curious.
Mine is a 250 yet it came stock at 3.30

[Quakes69]

Well that's good, thanks for confirming that

@Quakes69 - What was your stock firmware?

I don't even know dude. I picked it up from a pawn shop. Cause I couldn't stand not having PSN. Turned it on and the firmware was 3.20 or something. Hit the Eject and pops out a GTA IV which I already had.


Edit: It does wipe the Hard drive when using the Modified Lv2diag.self File. I removed mine and replaced it with a dummy. Back your shizzznit up before attempting this.
