[hamalawlaw2004]

hi there, i have nearly the same problem. my ps3 slim is 3.42 and i am now in the factory mod, but when i insert the flash disc that contain the two files (Lv2diag.self) and (PS3UPDAT.PUP) modified 3.41 pup file then i power on the ps3 it does not show black screen and it power on and shows the factory service plz help.

and it is written on the back on my ps3 model NO (CECH-2004B)

is your usb device formatted in FAT32 ? the two files comes into the root of the usb drive... z.b. k:\PS3UPDAT.pup K:\lvl2diag... put it in the rightest usb slot, to the bluray drive.

it is formatted fat32 and i did just like the instruction, and it is not going to downgrade and i'm stuck in service mode.

You need to load the usb with ONLY the second Lv2diag.self to get it out of factory service mode.

Same for me. Just bought a PS3 320GB 2500GB FW3.50 in Japan and also I cannot downgrade with this method (using Rockbox and a iPod Mini 2G). After getting into service mode and trying to apply the firmware of 3.41 modded, the HDD is active for 20 seconds then stops and the Green Light starts linking. Very sad, as I bought the PS3 2500 after reading everywhere that all FW3.50 and CECH 25XX systems could be downgraded.
