Made this video a few days ago and wanted to share it with the community. I've tried to make this very noob friendly by making it step by step on how to install and downgrade the PS3 with an E3 flasher. This includes how to verify your dump/back ups and how to patch up dumps with No FSM required. I know my MAC address is displayed, I have many PS3, so I don't mind relinquishing one for the sake of educational purposes.

This video was done on 4.46OFW and YES if you're on 4.50 and 4.53....Follow the same steps but use the 4.50 files that I've provided.



E3 Flasher w/ no ESATA Station and no FSM dongle required
From 4.46 OFW to Rogero 4.46 v1.01 CFW

For PS3 that are 25XX, please use the MinVerChk to verify that you can actually downgrade.

Need help???? email me: [email][email protected][/email]

Hey, thanks for the quick response

I do actually have the newest multiMAN. As it turns out I didn't realize I needed the BR drive plugged in for this stuff to all work. I basically just has the board, PSU, and heatsinks while doing the flash since I had to get tot he bottom of the board for the soldering anyway.

Everything has been desoldered and is now working (well presumably, it all loads now, I still need to rip some games to try it all out.)

my ps3 modle is cech2503B but code date is 1b ive checked based fw is 3.56 can my ps3 be downgrade w/e3 flasher?

When I turn on my ps3 it says it's not the appropriate storage then turns off

do you have the ps3 setup like mine?
I have the HDD plugged in into the motherboard

Then you are a really lucky one. Its very rare to have a ps3 datecode 1b with base FW 3.56
Your ps3 can be jailbraked with e3 flasher but you cant downgrade to 3.55cfw nor Rogero 3.55CFW downgrader.

@libra7ry Will tell you more

The best tutorial out there & only one you will need.

I used it when i started downgrading PS3's

Had a few issues when i started out & libra7ry replied to my emails.

So i like to say thanks dude great tutorial & thanks for the help.

can i do this method with fat ps3s

Special shout out to libra7ry for the Ps3 downgrade guide. Because of your video, I've managed to downgrade my two ps3 for the first time and hopefully open my own shop at my town.

Thank you
