PS DOWNGRADE announced!

[Squirps]

Even if it IS legit, it'll probably patched in the same amount of time PSJailbreak was patched...

Their claims of "all future firmares" makes me think it operates outside the firmware, meaning they'd need a new hardware revision to stop it.

But the PSDowngrade is just another protected USB dongle that injects code...right? (Correct me if I'm wrong, sorry)

From what we know right now it's actually just an addon for one.

What the current dongles do is modify the firmware as it's being loaded (thus the need to reset each time), so obviously they have some access before the firmware (well, GameOS to be specific) is loaded... we don't know exactly how this is going to work because we... to be honest we don't know shit about it yet.

There are definitely not going to be as many sales for this downgrade as the PSJailbreak either way, unless it's actually TRUE that it can downgrade the fw...people have seen how unreliable the team is, and how cheap they are...eventually, Sony will have a solution, but before that, I'm betting that people will be porting the downgrade to PSGroove!

...(hopefully)...

Im pretty sure Sony is gonna fix this as fast as they did with the jailbreak itself. Sad.
I have a PS3 but im not gonna jailbreak it, i want originals only

LOL! When you unplug dongle from your ps3 and it will be original. Thats all.

Sony log what you do when you're offline, so they know what you did if you ever decide to go online and you'd get banned. You can also be sure that the exploit used on the jailbreak to go online that was released a few days ago will be patched. They should just banned anyone who is online without the last version.

"unless it's actually TRUE that it can downgrade the fw" - if it isn't there will be NO sales. Not just "not many", but NONE. (Well, one or two for people to confirm it doesn't work). However, I doubt that very much. I reckon this is real. But we shall see. Anyway, even if it is real, I doubt too many people will want to pay $40 on top of the $100 they must already have spent to get an actual PSJailbreak dongle and not one of its clones, for a one-time downgrade, when in all likeliness, it will be available for free with no such limit within weeks.

Mah bad, I meant "even if it's actually TRUE..."

Does anybody else remember the rumor that the original jailbreak team had the master keys for the PS3? Allowing them to do all sorts of things Sony wouldn't be able to easily fix?

now that i think about it, i do remember the rumor.

guess it will be proven one way or the other sooner or later.

 

[fgghjjkll]

Uhmm.. Are you guys absolutely sure this is from the PS3Jailbreak team? They got pwned by Sony, i've heard.

 

[Joe88]

the official jailbreak team have been "delaying" the update for their device for over 2 months now
I wouldnt believe anything they say
