Finally, from
MajorPSP156: BwE has made an automator for setting up files needed for downgrading. The simple script is placed on your USB and when run (in Windows) it gives you options to load Lv2Diag.self files, FSM .PUP's, Recovery Mode .PUPs as well as the copy and management of bkpps3.bin files for clients. The script also has md5 checking and other fail-safes.
The package itself is a 700+mb pack with everything, but that is yet to be uploaded. However, a version without the firmware files is available here: http://netload.in/dateiZg3v0p7OKk/Downgrade_Automator.rar.htm and can still be used.
Update: Automation for Business/Lazy purposes (via ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Downgrading_Firmware#Automation_for_Business.2FLaz%20y_purposes):

The script also has md5 checking and other fail-safes. This saves you the effort of copying/renaming all of the .PUP's and Lv2Diag.self's that you would be using in a typical downgrade setup.
A version without the firmware files is available here (linked above) and can still be used providing you have the firmwares required, which is listed within the script. Condor Updater & QA Toggle is included in the .rar to aid with dehashing.
This script requires the following firmwares to be installed into the 'Firmware' folder and subsequently renamed:
Kmeaw 3.55 -> 'Kmeaw355'
OFW 3.55 -> 'OFW355'
Rebug 999 Downgrader -> 'Rebug999'
Rogero Downgrade Automator -> 'RogeroDowngrade'
Rogero 3.55 v3.7 -> 'Rogero355v3.7'
Rogero 4.21 v2.0 -> 'Rogero421v2.0'
Rogero 4.30 v2.03 -> 'Rogero430v2.03'
The MD5 checking this script does can be slow on some USB sticks, if this is a problem simply stop using the script.
It is a necessary part of the script, it determines what is in use and if it is valid.
It is recommended to strictly use Rogero 355 v3.7 when downgrading firmware >3.55. Greetz to #ps3downgrade & ps3devwiki

To do something on OFW we need to crack ECDSA signature, it'll probably never happen so the only hope is a flasher
