* This works on FW 3.55 without a physical dongle.
'''You should have grafchokolos modules, and patches installed'''
* You should have graf_chokolo's modules, and patches installed.
 
* Use this method to install a lower firmware.
'''This works on 3.55 without a fisical dongle'''
* Thanks to graf_chokolo for bringing Linux on PS3, with all its goodies back to the PS3 ==
 
'''Use this method to install lower firmware! You can install a newer firmware ex 3.60 with this method but you will be loosing your hombrew'''

You need a dongle ID.
You need a dongle id.
Valid range for dongle IDs is 0×0000 – 0xffff. So choose one, it does not matter which one, but some are revoked !!!

'''To install debug firmware, te proper syscon eeprom flags should be set http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Hypervisor_Reverse_Engineering#EEPROM_Offset_Table and EID0 should be resigned, reencrypted and rehashed with the proper target id '''
 
 
Debugging Station Target ID: 0x82
 
 
eEID contains
 
*system model data
*target ID
*PS3 motherboard revision
 
Other target IDs (might be helpful if someone messes this up)
 
==Targets IDs ==


* 81 = reference tool
* 82 = debugging station

"The kernel checks the target id to see if your unit is debug or not and if not it disables all the fancy things such as running unsigned code. So what you want to do is to change 8x into 81 or 82 but this implies resigning the EID section (or at least decrypting the per ps3 encryption from a debug EID target key and reaplying onto a retail)"
