WARNING: DO NOT ENTER SERVICE MODE IN 3.56 OR 3.60 (YOU WILL BE STUCK IN IT FOREVER END OF STORY!!)

**Ben Jeremy** · 01-27-2011,12:32 AM

It's probably safe to enter Service Mode. It would be interesting to see if the Exit self works, as well as Geohot's "hello World" lv2diag.self.

That would verify they haven't changed the keys. Beyond that, the simple remedy for the downgrader would be to change the authid again on the app and resign it.

Like I said in the other thread, only somebody willing to risk it, or somebody with the tools to restore their PS3 should try this.

the only way this wont work is if they revoked it like the 3.50 one. so it will either work and downgrade, or do nothing at all, theoretically. so not really much of a chance of a brick.

but as Ben Jeremy said, someone with the appropriate hardware should try it first.

Ok guys the lv2diag file will have to be changed I'm stuck in service mode and tried both 3.41 and 3.55 lv2diag files and can't get out. Guess I'm down a ps3 till someone changes it. Hopefully soon. If any1 finds it send it my way please.

So they revoked the authid. Whoever changes it, use authid of ps3swu.self,

Edit: sorrowuk: You were the one that created the modified lv2diag.self, weren't you?

This method won't work on 3.56; not without the proper key.

Well, we're trying to see what it's going to take to work with 3.5_6, not 3.55

**sorrowuk** · 01-27-2011,10:04 AM

DON'T TRY THIS ON 3.56 !!

APPARENTLY WE CAN'T RESIGN THE LV2DIAG.SELF AND WE WON'T BE ABLE TO SO YOU WILL BE STUCK IN SERVICE MODE AND CAN'T GET OUT.

so let me get this right. sony have made it so that if u enter service mode u will be compleatly locked in with no way out. seeing as there is nothing illegal or wrong with service mode would this not make this illegal. could people not sue sony for locking them out of there own playstation

**sorrowuk** · 01-27-2011,10:28 AM

But users aren't meant to be able to enter service mode. You need to emulate a sony device to do it. And you have to know all the dongle device id keys and master key etc

NOTE : Service mode is totally different from recovery mode.

Service mode requires a usb dongle to be inserted on startup and goes into xmb with a box saying service mode.
Recovery mode is a menu that comes up when you hold the power button
