3.70 Downgrade for Fat/Slim NOR Models - Teensy++ OR ProgSkeet

Please note, as of 8/17/11, this guide has been updated to remove a DANGEROUS ERROR. Please see below for any further updates: News reaches us today, coming from Spanish site Elotrolado member, Dospiedras. He has released the tutorial a lot of us have been waiting for, 3.70 Downgrade for Fat/Slim NOR PS3 consoles, meaning this tutorial is for all those out there with later models that use 16mb NOR Flash. This tutorial can be followed with either the Teensy++, or the ProgSkeet.



Use extreme caution when attempting this and be prepared to solder your console. Also, make sure you know for certain, that your model did not come with 3.56+ firmware stock. The following has been translated by mximposter:

Hello everyone, i finally got it, we have a downgrader for slims consoles , this time a bit different that i did with fat models, i made it by the two flashers, progskeet and teensy ++,dope

We need:
fat or slim console with nor updated to 3.70 “DO NOT TRY With ANOTHER VERSION”Solution to write and read the nor of the console (teensy + + flasher or progskeet)
hxd program (which I use to edit hex)
FlowRebuilder v.4.1.3.2
A cold beer (this is important)
Downgrade.bin Http://pastebin.com/yuvJ5Leh

First we dump our NOR with a flasher, the file size must be “16,777,216 bytes” no byte more or a byte less, take several to be absolutely sure of what you do.

Get the dump “example jakemcallister.bin”
and we have to get it in flowrebuilder to make it readable,the option is called bytereverse and extract nor dump
we do it and we will have a file but the extension will be bin.REV

open it with the hxd and take out our personal data of the console EID, BOOTLOADER, CSID and METLDR ,no need to put more data

We get it with the following way:in this case we get our METLDR in our prepatched image for downgrade attached in this tutorial

inside the folder where flowrebuilder had placed our.rev also has created another folder called “nameofthedump.EXT”in there are our personal files of our console and we need to get some to place em inside the pre-patched image that i attached

Open the hxd and open downgrade.bin and the metldr file that is inside the folder asecure_loader, we pick the tab on the hxd metldr and copy all the HEX content to get in inside the downgrade.bin

press control + g and write “810″thats the position(offset) of the metldr right click on the first line of the position 810
And choose “paste writing” and in the same way we introduce the other ones
the files to get in are

METLDR: offset“810″ size “E960″
BOOTLOADER_0 Offset“FC0000″ size “40000″
EID: Offset “2F000″ size “10000″
CISD: Offset“3F000″ size “800″

then we take the downgrade.bin with the saved changes and we get in flowrebuilder with the option bytereverse and extract nor dump

This time the program will give us a error, but is a normal error, in fact is okay and will give us a file called downgrade.bin.REV
And thats the file you have to get in in the “flash” console

if all went well at writing ,turn on the console and you will see in the screen press the ps button or in English push ps button, DONT PRESS ANYTHING, turn off the console and put it in factory service mode, once done we need to put the correct file system for 3.55 lv2diag of jaicrab without reader and a special cfw
lv2diag:http://www.logic-sunrise.com/telecha...r-jaicrab.html

cfw: http://pastebin.com/03MFDLGV

turn on the console with the usbstick with these two files in the right usb port (in the last) of the console and it will shut down for 10 / 15 minutes, turn on the console without any usb connected to verify that you did it correctly it will take you to xmb,
If all went well turn off the console and put your lv2diag
FILE2 of this pack:
http://pastebin.com/gGETcxMR
the console will turn on for 20 seconds will turn off itself and CONGRATULATIONS you have your console in functional 100% and kmeaw cfw 3.55 100%

i made some pointings and corrections go check the updated translation

[COLOR="Red"]Spotted mistakes i fixed and some pointings

Before it said byteverse dump and extract
Now byteverse And extract nor dump
Got links (his paypal)
Offset =position
jakemcallister.bin is in his example josejuan.bin
Nombredeldump.ext is in english nameofthedump.ext
At the beggining Of the paragraph ..the solution to write and read the nor of the console it said "flasher progskeet or teensy ++"

And its in the correct way FLASHER TEENSY ++ OR PROGSKEET
So what i understand here is that u need one of those NOT BOTH[/COLOR
