Posted in linux section as it uses asbestos_ldr, but it is not needed to install anything other then the ldr...
This tutorial is no more dangerous then the others, AS LONG as you READ, and follow it to the letter.
The only part where things *could* go wrong, is if you downgrade, past the fw version your PS3 came with.
THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW/CHECK BEFORE CONTINUING!
Writing the dex EIDO to the flash should be as safe as on linux, as the posted version of multiman, can flash these in the same way as the dd command does.
!!!!UPDATE!!!!!
Get THIS tool and follow instructions.
EIDO (rootkey/unicorns) should be yours VERY fast!

Howto
-----
* install package and run it
* It will then black screen (no GUI) and restart the console automatically
* FTP (other otherwise) retrieve your eid_root_key / PCK1 from /dev_hdd0/tmp/eid_root_key
THIS IS FOR YOU THAT
A: CAN DOWNGRADE TO 3.41.
B: HAVE A NOR PS3.
C: HAVE YOUR PC->PS3 WIRED VIA ROUTER (NO WIFI!!!) OR CAN SETUP A PC->PS3 NETWORK! Check this post for some instructions on PC->PS3 setups
D: IF YOU SCREW UP, YOU WONT COME AND BLAME ME. NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TODO THIS... IF YOU FEEL UNCERTAIN ABOUT SOMETHING: REFRAIN FROM USING THIS TUTORIAL.
I HAVE TRIED TO "n00b" PROOF IT, AND MADE IT AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE, SO IF YOU FEEL THIS IS STILL TO MUCH WORK, WELL, THEN YOU ARE "SOL" FOR THE TIME BEING!
Here goes:
Tools/Files you MIGHT (very likely) need:
(unless you have a faster or other way to downgrade)
Fastest downgrade method is to have a QA flagged console that have cfw 3.55.
Toggle QA | Codename: REBUG
When you are on cfw 3.55 run this and wait for the two beeps. QA flag is now set.
Activate with this:

Getting the QA flag menu
PS3 Sixaxis + dualshock - controller - buttons
Set your cursor on Network Settings and press the key combo (all at the same time):
L1 + L2 + L3 (press left stick) + R1 + R2 + dpad_down
Tools/Files you WILL need:
Use any of the two below:
C2D (Do not forget to install openssl and change install dir to c:\openssl)
or
CEX2DEX Just works without any other install and this is the tool i use in this guide.
Memdump_0.01-FINAL
To read and save a flash dump to your USB
Multiman 20120722 (link is from deanks tutorial)
Multiman 20120722 Mirror
To install/flash EIDO when your dex flashdump is done
OFW 3.41

Dump_rootkey Mirror
No need to compile dump_rootkey as it is done for you in this zip
Use like this: c:\dump_rootkey\dump_rootkey 192.168.2.186
PAUSE!
Now that you have all files, make sure you are QA FLAGGED and ready for the downgrade! (Do not do it yet, the guide below will instruct when!)
AND SO THE REAL WORK STARTS! UNICORNS SOON!
On the PS3:
Lets start with installing memdump (PLACE USB IN SLOT NEAREST TO POWER IN THE FRONT) and dump the flash with X.
On NOR (AND THIS IS A NOR GUIDE ONLY) it should take like 5 seconds.
On PC:
When done take the dump to the pc and copy it to the CEX2DEX folder and start the program, load the flash*.bin and extract metldr.
SAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR UNTOUCHED FLASH!!!
Take the metldr and copy it to the data folder in the dump_rootkey folder on your PC
On the PS3:
Install the asbestos_ldr.pkg
Install the 20120722 version of multiman. DO NOT TRY AND UPDATE FROM WITHIN MULTIMAN. JUST USE THE ONE LINKED ABOVE!
On PC:
Start mfw builder and load your OFW 3.41
Tick these options:
Quote:
Patch LV1 hypervisor
Patch LV2 kernel
Patch package installer
Patch application launcher
Save the new pup.
ON THE PS3:
Turn off PS3 and go into recovery and flash the newly created 3.41 pup.
REMEMBER THAT IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE ABOVE ABOUT DOWNGRADING OR HAVE A PS3 THAT CANT DOWNGRADE PAST 3.55/3.50 YOU WILL SCREW YOUR PS3!
When it is back in XMB check your PS3 IP and then launch asbestos_ldr.Quote:
How to Access Playstation Recovery Menu
1. Turn off your PS3.
2. Hold The power button down; The system will turn on and turn off once again.
3. Once the System has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps
4. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.
5. You will be prompted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button
6. The Recovery menu will pop up.
Yes, the screen should be black.
Yes, the controller should stop working.
Yes, long press on power/switching power off is the way it should be to "reboot" it.
If previous steps have been done correctly you now are mere seconds from the UNICORNS
On PC:
Start a cmd window and cd to your dump_rootkey folder
Issue command; dump_rootkey *.*.*.*
*.*.*.*=PS3 ip
Unicorns! (FINALLY!) ;)
In the dump_rootkey folder you now have eid_root_key.bin
Copy this to your CEX2DEX folder and rename it to dump (no file extension) and put it in the metldr dump row. (Notice your flash*.bin should also be loaded)
Save as my-DEX-flash.EID0.bin
Close CEX2DEX
Rename your my-DEX-flash.EID0.bin to my-DEX-flash.EID0.NORBIN and place on usb.
On the PS3:
Insert usb and start multiman.
Navigate to your "my-DEX-flash.EID0.NORBIN" and double-click on it. You should get a 3x yes/no promt (choose yes on all to flash the dex eido part)
Should give you a Success and then you reboot.
Now you can flash a DEX fw from XMB (I used Itskamelīs 3.55)
You are now on a DEX PS3...
w00t?
