Hacking ps3 formatt

[dr.dre]

Hello everyone,i am curious about something.My ps3 has 4.25 firmware if it had 3.55 from the factory if i formatt it will it go back to 3.55?

No, its not saved on the hard drive its stored on a chip on the ps3, the only way to go back down is to grab a flasher and solder it to the main board

ok thanks for the answer.i guess i have to wait for a 4.25cf

the restore ps3 system option says that formats the system storage AND resotres the system softwware to the default settings.does this default includes firmware?

The version is not a setting.

You can't downgrade with any of the options in the menu.

the core boot files reside in NOR/NAND (physical chip).Files on HDD are some kind of teh "extension" of firmware.
