when clicking them on 4.80.01 the 84 and 82 when it says please wait while it applies the 5 changes my new version of rebug stays on the please wait and the screen dims down like a screen saver almost and it does nothing

these optiions worked on 4.80 so if i have to use these options ill downgrade back, are there any tutorials how to downgrade on here? do you have to have a flasher and how do i check to see if my qa flag is enabled i tried L1-2-3 and R1-2 plus the up on dpad and nothing happened no extra options in network settings i believe i read that would show 3 new options if qa flag was enabled
Changing the active PS3id (84/82) is for the CID; if after you convert to DEX, your CID doesn't work,or if you are having problems with your CID showing valid, you could change that. Otherwise, you don't need to mess with it..
You need a valid CID though, it doesn't make it valid. For whatever reason, yours is not and thats why you can't sign up.
You can get a CID by purchasing it from someone TRUSTWORTHY, or, the best way is to acquire a 100% private CID, yourself.
You can check this out if you want.

If debug settings pop up, you are QA flagged and don't need to do it again, unless you need/want to reset debug settings or something..
If the firmware you are trying to install is LOWER than the one you are currently on, then you first need to install a downgrader firmware. The firmwares or downgrader your choose should be based on the region your console is on (CEX or DEX)
Here is a downgrader for (CEX)

Here is a downgrader for (DEX)

To install firmware:
1. Download your cfw or downgrader. Rename the file to "PS3UPDAT.PUP" (no quotes)
2. On a fat32 formatted usb flash drive, create a folder named "PS3"
3. Inside the "PS3" folder, create a folder named "UPDATE"
4. Inside the "UPDATE" folder, place your "PS3UPDAT.PUP"
Folder structure should be
Fat32formattedusbflashdrive/PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
5. Boot ps3 into recovery mode (alternatively go to XMB, second column from the left, go to update system. Select "from usb device". Do not select "from internet".)
6. Select option "update system" (alternatively go to XMB, second column from the left, go to update system. Select "from usb device". Do not select "from internet".)
7. Insert the flash drive into the rightmost usb port of the ps3
8. Follow prompt and install
