Q) is FSM in the current / latest OFW ( 4.53 ) A: yes, but randomfail signing was fixed, dongles revoked, whitelisting added etc.

Inability to set FSM on 1.00/1.01/1.02/1.10 using dongle method

• On firmwares 1.00, 1.01(DECR), 1.02 and 1.10, it was not possible to set FSM using the following dongles:

Teensy ++ 2.0
Teensy 2.0
PS3Break

the error showing on the southbridge logs, via lv2, is the following:

lv2(2): ********device enumeration failed********(bus=0, port=5)
lv2(2): ********please re-insert device********

• On firmwares 2.00 (Retail) or 2.01 (DECR) and above, it is possible to use psgrade dongles normally
