PS3 Downgrade with Nokia N800 / N810 / N900


Submitted by greg; December 24, 2010


I saw a few peeps asking for this and moments ago it landed in my inbox: Downgrade your PS3 with a Nokia N900. Included is a version for the Nokia N800 and N810 too; however, Matthew, who emailed it in, had no success with that particular version. Your luck may differ. Other sources are claiming both versions work. Anyway, now it's in your hands. Good luck! Instructions
  1. Download the archive below and extract it.
  2. Uninstall any previous version of PSFreedom from your N800/N810/N900.
  3. Connect the device to your PC via USB and select Mass Storage mode.
  4. Copy the 3 files (the two shell scripts and kernel module) to the root of your device.
  5. Go to app manager and download rootsh.
  6. Disconnect USB from PC.
  7. Launch x terminal and type:
    • sudo gainroot
    • cd MyDocs
    • sh psfreedom-enable-maemo.sh
  8. Connect the device to your PS3 via USB.
  9. Perform the all too familiar jailbreak steps:
    • Kill the power (Slim: unplug A/C power; Phat: switch located on the back)
    • Reconnect power
    • Press power immediately followed by eject
  10. Now follow this guide or watch this video.

Before I try this with my N810, do you know if this script I'll be using is compatible with 3.55?

Thanks

Pretty sure NO downgrades work with 3.55, not until it's cracked (if it does get cracked? No idea really)

In omap1 kernel
copy 3 file to root with any file client ex. wincp

Launch x terminal and type

root
sh psfreedom-enable-maemo.sh

For torn off type
sh psfreedom-disable-maemo.sh

Thanks but no thanks. I'll wait until a 3.55 downgrade is available (with blu-ray function still working)

This works like a sharm! I tried it some minutes ago and everything works fine. :-) The only problem for me now is that when I try to jailbreak it with Nokia N900 it just gives me the factory mode even when I`ve turned of Factory mode with the USB stick. :-(

It is ironic when ps3 is not yet hacked but it is in a factory mode.Now to bring it on that mode you have first to hack your phone,calculato r,mp3 player e.t.c.
I hope to see soon a custom firmware.
I guess it won't come like psp because the one who hacked it (dark Alex) made also the custom firmware for it.
It would be amazing if ps3 had functions like
-ntfs hard disk support
-p2p tv applications(th ey would change our tv's)
-an all in one emulator
-bd game and movie fast and easy copy
-wireless keyboard,mouse and other devices drivers support
-a good fast and smooth internet browser
At least someone could have these features with Linux but it is also lost
and I don't think albert os is easy to for a normal user to bring it back.

this won't work on n8x0 devices. I tried on my n800. It showed some error message. Then I checked the original post on maemo forum. I believe this one is compiled exclusively for n900.

Well, I don`t know how to patch those, but I`ve used Backup Manager v2 that can play load and play games without Bluray disk. But I found out that I downgraded to the modified 3.41 that only the E3 card reader uses, so I`m going to use the original now and try again.

anyone ever order from lightake.com? I ordered an e3 usb device on december 4,got an email stating that it was shipped on the 11,and still has not arrived yet????

# JustMyLuck 2010-12-26 20:03
Same thing here. I ordered it on the 5th of December. Same website. I still don't have it either. That website likes to get all the orders until they run out of stock. After they run out of stock, they then ship all the current orders that they got. That takes it longer for it to get to your destination. Take note of this: Pay more for something to get it with faster shipping. Thats a mistake I don't want to make again.

OR JUST USE YOUR PHONE LIKE I DID AND ITS ALL FREE. i got 2 ps3s i have, just bought another today so i can mod online.

mw2

I could have jb'd the new ps3 today if i wanted to but i already have a jbed ps3.

It came to me on 3.15, if i wasnt so worried about going on mw2 so fast, i pry would have jbed the second ps3 for online just for the hell of it and updated it.

This is a good weblog. I midpoint it. You've got a good trade plan of this matter, and so much interest you have got a layout here that is not too flashy, but plans a statement as big as what youre expressing. Great job!.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
