28w ago - This weekend Spanish PS3 developer
jubytoo has shared a video demo and the related files to allow those with a Factory 3.56 OFW (minimum) console and a PS3 Hardware Flasher to install the recently released
E3 PS3 CFW 4.30 with no dongle required!

PS3 NOR Patcher v1 Three Musketeers.rar
Below is the demo video and details, roughly translated: CFW 4.30 GOT IN CONSOLE WITH FACTORY minimum firmware 3.56 (FLASHER NEEDED)
Those of you currently with minimum version 3.56 PS3 are in luck

With the collaboration of
Varicella and
Luckymas we have installed CFW 4.30 E3 in such consoles.
Apart indicate that with these patches also apply to install CFW 4.30 E3 directly from any superior to 4.31 OFW no consoles also manufactures minimum version of 3.55 or less and saved the downgrade, without dongle, without factory faster.
For now only in memories NOR, NAND patches for the climb soon after being tested.
We will need these patches Patchv1 Three Musketeers: http://www.mediafire.com/?54r17h5dt054ohx
No need dongle but if a flasher to get our dump, several statutes on how to do it with eol progskeet, E3 or teensy.
Since having our dump patches the following offset:
patch1 : OFFSET 0C0010 LEGHT 6FFFE0
patch2 : OFFSET 7C0010 LEGHT 6FFFE0
patch3 : OFFSET 80000 LEGHT 20000
patch4 : OFFSET A0000 LEGHT 20000
patch5 : OFFSET 40000 LEGHT 20000
patch6 : OFFSET 60000 leght 20000
Since they write patched with a flasher, start the PS3 ripped recovery in a pen and insert the CFW 4.30 PS3/UPDATE E3 in the folder (if you were in 4.30 OFW ripped console normally, in this case enter recovery and update E3 4.30 CFW from there)
Tested on multiple consoles FACTORY OFW 3.56. (We assume that on PS3 with 3.60 OFW METLDR2 NO MINIMUM FACTORY WORKS BUT NOT TESTED)

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MISUSE CAN BE DONE AND THAT MAY CAUSE BRICK.
Video PS3 with version 3.56 running CFW 4.30 factory
DATA TO CONSIDER
- AT LEAST 3.56OFW PS3 FACTORY WITH YOU CAN NOT NEVER DOWN 4.30 UP BUT WITH OTHER FUTURE PATCHES OR ANOTHER INSTALL CFW OFW SI HOS get tired

- THESE ARE ONLY PATCHES TO INSTALL CFW 4.30 E3 multiMAN OTHER CFW EVEN BEING DAMAGED DATA INDICATE OS 30.4 when trying to install from the Recovery.
END
If not, could someone please advise me on any other means to switch back and forth between CFW and OFW, or any other ways to still use the PSN?
No don't listen too above post. If your minimum version is 3.60 then NO.
