Just got my first PS3 a was a 3.55 250GB slim, i'e flashed it with 3.55 kmeaw but am hessitant to upgrade to the new cfw as there so many guides/tutorials/methods posted about i can't figure whats what, and was hoping for some advice
am i right in thinking that when toggle qa is set, a flag is set in memory that stays throughout all flashing that enables you to downgrade via the recovery menu and removes version checks etc, and the 999 downgraded pup is for people how forgot to set a flag before updating, and is a hybrid 4.21/3.55 cfw with the abbility to set qa flag and no other use
so if i was to go
kmeaw 3.55 > toggle qa > recovery > rebug 4.21
i could then go back to 3.55 with
rebug 4.21 > recovery > 3.55 ofw
without needing to use the 999 downgrader pup ? or is the downgrader pup need for all downgrades
rebug 4.21 > recovery > 999 downgrade > 3.55 ofw
just get confused as every tutorial i can find says to downgrade use 999 and toggle qa... but no mention of what to do if qa was set before upgrade/flash
hope that made some sort of sense...
