(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So, Sony released its crap software to us, and if you were of the unlucky ones that wanted to upgrade an HDD, you were screwed.

From what I understand 3.56 v1 was bugged. Now, the software is stored, or some part of it is stored, onto our system, not just the HDD.

If this is the case then, if you are like I am, and updated to 3.56 then decided to change hard drives, nothing will fix the solution because the software is saved to the ps3.

This leads to my conclusion that, the only way to fix the HDD issue if you already updated is to clean the ps3 internal memory of the v1 of 3.56, obviously this isn't simple because that would make downgrading easy as cake.

So, what is my next step. I am NOT paying 100$ for them to fix their screwed up software.

Well, before their was CFW, I downgraded, but it was 99.9999% risky as you had to corrupt the NAND and then restore it.. And the chances of that happening is like 1:10000000 We could somehow find away to dump the NAND a more safer way via the turn points.

Also, my friend is on 3.55, can i put 3.55 on his ps3 again with my HDD inside it and then put my HDD into my ps3 and be on 3.55 again or would i still need 3.56 either way?
