I was able to restore one machine I had, by copying over all the files I had in the /dev_flash2 and /dev_flash3 back to the HDD, that I had saved before when it was on v3.41

But that does not help those that were on v3.50 factory fresh or with no previous full /dev_flash2 & 3 backup.

I not sure what file was that fixed the problem.

We need more machines, more tests.

I going start a thread and warn people right now!
I have previously tried everything, upgrading, downgrading, using normal pup files, modded pup files, older ones, new ones, but NOPE, the only way I was able to start watching movies again was overwriting those files from my very lucky backup I had of my previous Jailbroken v3.41 /dev_flash2 and /dev_flash3 file contents.

We need more input, in the meantime:

READ THIS THREAD BEFORE DOWNGRADING RIGHT NOW!
IF YOU WISH TO SAVE YOURSELF HEADACHE OF NO HAVING BLU-RAY MOVIE PLAYBACK!
LETS ALL WORK TOGETHER TO FIND A CONFIRMED WORKING SOLUTION!

UPDATE:

The people having bluray movies playback issues after downgrading, this happens because you updated to a modified PUP (psjb one) which has its /dev_flash3/ tarball swapped (probably to a debug one, debug consoles do not sport bd movies playback) with other CRL/DRL revocation files.

hi, i just read that this is the fix, apparently some of the downgrade dongles that are about are using files with the wrong bluray region,

"There is a fix. Downgrade to 3.15 and then upgrade to 3.41 using the UPDATE.PUP of your region."

edit: apparently this isnt the fix or there is some confusion around it
