Greg, admin from PSP-Hacks.com, has managed to downgrade (using Downgrade) his very own PS3 from firmware v3.50 to 3.41 but when attempting to reproduce the downgrade on the same PS3, it semi-bricked (aka semi-dead). The good news is that Greg eventually figured out how to fix it. And so can you, if you ever semi-brick your PS3.
Use PS Downgrade with extreme caution. I’ve semi-bricked my PS3 while playing around. As PS Jailbreak stated, I guess you can only attempt a downgrade once. Now I don’t believe my PS3 to be fully bricked; I say semi because I can repeat step 6 and the system does try flashing PS3UPDAT.PUP from the USB key again. During that flashing process it succeeds throughout many stages; however, towards the end it fails with:
Updating or Verifying failure 0x8002f057Now (without the USB key inserted) the PS3 just turns on and immediately powers off. I’m guessing this problem can be fixed, either by PS Jailbreak or skilled hackers who plan to rip this backdoor right off the hinges. I mean we clearly have that level of access to the PS3 now. I’ve uploaded the entire UPDATER_LOG.TXT [download below] for everyone to see what’s going on.

Update: Wait! I’m back in business. I was able to re-flash my PS3 with the 3.50 PS3UPDAT.PUP. On the same USB key I simply replaced the modified 3.41 PUP with the original 3.50 PUP. My PS3 boots again and it boots into factory/service mode. That’s pretty cool.
