downgrade

How can I completely bypass the prompt from even showing up? Can I achieve this by editing PARAM.SFO, or is game update information stored in the database? I specifically want to keep GTA IV (digital, Europe) on update 1.08, and I don't want to accidentally start an update to then have to...

So I watched @RIP-Felix video on the YLOD and I now recently got three Frankies, CECHE01 (40nm), CECHC03 (65nm) and a CECHA00 (40nm). In his video he said that you cannot downgrade lower than 3.55 on the 40nm models. However, is there any way to modify the RSX or something in order to...

Hi everyone, I have a PS4 Test Kit Pro and I'm facing some issues. I can't downgrade the system to version 5.05, and I'm also unable to run any PKG on it. I'm wondering if anyone here has experienced something similar or knows of any unofficial way to activate the Test Kit, downgrade it to...

Hello everybody, I just tried installing 4.70 OFW DEX on my CECHC04 retail PS3. It was on 4.91 Evilnat DEX before and everything was set to DEX, so I figured that it was good to go to install an OFW DEX FW. it even got to the install screen, after I saw that I left for a while. When I came...

Trying to downgrade my CECHH04 to FW 1.97, but it was only preinstalled. Did anyone make a dump or was it on some game discs?

Hello everyone! This is my first post here, so hello everyone, I'm Luca :-) As a little project I bought myself around 20 old PS3's, ranging from CECHC04 to the later CECHL04 models. The CECHC04's are still in the Netherlands to get a 40nm RSX installed tho.. What I usually do is I clean the...

You really don't own anything in this day and age... I accidentally updated Fallout 4 (CUSA02557) to patch 01.36 which requires 11.5 firmware, I am on 11.00 and now I cant run the game at all, I cant just uninstall it either to install it again because I will also lose access to all my purchased...

So I finally managed to downgrade a CECHL04 PS3 to FW 2.50, whcih was really hard to do somehow. Mainly because of the old XMB, boot/splash screens & OtherOS. Now I'm wondering if there's any way to install packages or generally Homebrews on FW 2.50 without updating? All I found so far is that...

At a local marketplace I got four PSP-1004s, all in a working order, only cosmetic scratches that will be removed through a housing replacement. But I keep having the same problem (on one of them) I want to restore one PSP-1004 to 1.00 for nostalgic using Downdater 1.50->1.00 by Dark_AleX...

I have a cecha that I want to downgrade via qa flags the lowest firmware I was able to get too was 2.50 going down slowly firm a couple of firmwares to not risk brick I can only downgrade via recovery mode I know that’s when recovery mode was introduced I want to go to 1.70 but every time I try...

Good afternoon, just a quick question. From the old guides I've seen about flashing using an e3 flasher, are those technique's still valid with ofw 4.89? Are the tools still safe to use and do I have to install rogero 3.55 or can I use 4.89 evilnat right off the bat? And yes before you ask, I...

Hi! I no longer can load any games in MMCM after update to 4.88. I saw some tutorials on Youtube, that suggest me to downgrade the PS firmware to previous version (4.75). I know it can't be done, so I look for another solution. A tutorial on Youtube also suggest me to install 4.89 HFW version...

Hi folks. Long time lurker first time poster. So I'll try to make this as succinct as possible. Was on evilnat 4.88 wanted to upgrade to 4.89.1 beta Went to recovery usb install Didn't realize ACiii disk was in my console and downgrades 4.21 Ofw Browser didn't work so couldnt use bgtoolset...

I'm so stupid. I learned that I could put my console in CFW "Evilnat" except that I have to use BGToolSet which is not available for version 4.89 so I would like to downgrade my console but I have no idea how to do it without going through the OFW and losing all my games Any ideas?

Hello, so I'm trying to install OFW 2.80 on my PS3, i already installed Rebug 3.55.4 999 Downgrader, but since I'm using a fat console my touch button doesn't work that well and I'm not able to get into recovery mode using the touch button, but Rebug Toolbox version 02.03.04 is installed on my...

If i remember correctly, @baileyscream had this guide for unbricking or downgrading before coreos flashing existed with @bguerville 's toolset. It was called baileyscream ultimate fool proof guide or something like that and you could download it and install it and it'd have some steps for either...

Somewhere on this site, it was mentioned that S0ny made a change in a firmware update that reduced bandwidth significantly. *Not sure what version but lets say 3.60 was fast and 3.61 was slow and current is 4.88.2 Since I do not go online with this box, could I install 3.60 and install latest...

Hey guys! I’m helping my friend mod his PS3. He was on 4.87 Evilnat, now currently on 4.87 Ferrox. I’ve been trying to help downgrade to 4.84.2 Rebug DEX so he’s on the same firmware as me, but I’ve encountered a serious issue. For some reason, his PS3 can’t update/downgrade at all from the XMB...

Hi there. i'm here to drop a curious fact about this specific firmware that not many people know about. Rebug 3.55.3 allows the machine to downgrade to that specific version on a specific condition: The console MUST be qa flagged! This is very useful for users who want to go straight to 3.55...
