I here any way how to downgrade from 8.03 to 6.72?

No downgrade at this moment. The same with any public kexploit.

What have You in mind by "downloadable content"? If pirated games, then read the forum rules first.

7.55 is highest firmware with jailbreak available.

any way how to downgrade from 8.03 to 6.72?

generally no. the only way to do downgrade requires a backup from the lower firmware.

Or is here any way how to play downloadable content?

yes! buy them from the playstation store.

And to be precise, flash backup, not system backup archives.

you can play games, updates, dlc, and themes, yes. here's how you create the fake packages: if you want to dump dlc itself (different than games and patches), have the dlc on your system w/ license (can't dump without buying it), open the game with the dlc, minimize it, use ftp payload or goldhen (during this process), go to mnt/sandbox/pfsmnt (look for content id followed by - ac -- probably stands for addcont), ftp it to your pc (don't need the nest folder as it's related to pfs and is unnecessary here), grab icon0.png from user/appmeta/addcont, open the orbis sfo editor/creator, create a new sfo for addcont, type in the content id, name (can be anything), and provider (also can be anything), drop the contents of the ac folder into orbis, drop icon0.png and param.sfo into sce_sys folder, then build the pkg. it will work then if you format, since you'll no longer have the license. themes are the same except you use a theme param.sfo. games and patches can be dumped with appdumper. use the configuration 3 to dump them separately (what you want to do), once dumped the system will shut down, take out your flash drive then put it in your pc, create a gengp4 of the dump (game dump), then save it (won't save automatically), if the app and master versions are not 1.00, you'll have to modify the version in the gengp4 (it's a bug of some sort) or else the patch will fail to be created, if there is a patch (it will fail to find the base pkg basically due to the gengp4.. if the game had no patch from the dump, you'll still get a patch folder, but it will be empty), after that, load the gengp4 in orbis, build your pkg, make it modifiable (checkbox around where you name the pkg) in order to inject your keystone (required for legit saves to work), then install in debug settings. for patches, it's the same except you need the base package. if the base pkg is different from the the pkg you've already installed, you'll have to use duxa repacker to marry the pkgs. I'm not sure why this is, but I think it has something to do with either the fingerprint or the digest. the fingerprint is based on the passcode, and it can be seen in orbis.

Perfect guys! Thank you very very much!

it's not too difficult. the only time I've failed at a pkg is when I made a theme without the icon0.png. the theme will install, but it will have no preview image. it will also error saying that it wasn't installed, but it is actually. I'm not sure how I figured out about the icon0.png. the error message isn't even on psdevwiki. something just clicked in my mind.

it sounds complicated to dump things, but it's really not so bad, just time-consuming. when I added that 60fps patch to bloodborne, it took me over an hour to decrypt the update, then another hour to build the update pkg. my computer isn't the fastest, but that game has thousands of map files, which is the main reason it took so long. it can take up to a couple of hours to go from dumping to install, like it did with final fantasy x and x-2 remastered, but it's not too bad considering the size of the games. make sure to keep a backup of your pkgs just in case something happens. you also, as I said, need the base pkg to build an update.

btw, the only file I can think of that it will warn you about, when building a pkg, is if there's no param.sfo it won't build one without it, and in the right place.

couple more things to mention. to dump a theme, you need to apply the theme first. before goldhen, this was a pita, because you had to redeploy the ftp payload. with goldhen, it's very fast, because ftp will remain if you go to system settings. also, with gengp4s, don't move the files after making one of these. the file locations are listed inside. it's almost like a cue file for cds. anyway, if you have an error where the app and master versions are not 1.00 (in orbis is where you'll get this error), then you can open the file with notepad++ and make the change. you can also manually rename the pkg, but I think it's better to modify the gengp4.
