Hardwarewise, there are many simularities with [[ReDRM / Piracy dongles]] like PSJB2/TrueBlue

On the Cobra Dongle, pin 3 of the EEPROM is tied to VCC. Lifting this Pin from the board and tieing it to ground '''should''' prevent the flash from being erased.

There is a switch that switched between Downgrade, PC and PS3 modes of the dongle.
There is a switch that switched between Downgrade, PC and PS3 modes of the dongle.
When facing the switch, with the USB Plug to the left the pins are labeled 1 to 4 in the table below:
