I up and decided I want to jailbreak my ps3 and wanted to know if anyone here knows about it. I have a done some reason and some of what I'm reading says I need to an e3 flasher to do the downgrade necessary to accept custom firmware but I've been reading other sites saying they were able to downgrade without that mod. So what I want to know is can I jailbreak a cech-2001a ps3 slim that is on the latest firmware(4.31) without that piece?

There's a website that you can look at. I can't remember the name but its like ps3jailbreak or something like that its a forum site like xda and you can go to it with tapatalk. I know mine was unable to be jailbroken even with the e3 flasher, I just happened to have the only model that wasn't possible to do it with any method. Also I'm not sire if there's a jailbreak for the newest firmware yet, my brother said the same people who work on the idevice jailbreaks do the ps3.

I have the first generation of slim ps3 so I'm certain it can be done but that e3 flasher seems to be about the most difficult to use device ever. In every forum I have looked at there is post after post about how the e3 bricked their ps3. I think I'm going to look into buying a stock 3.55 firmware ps3 and jailbreak it. Besides I'll end up spending about the same amount and it will take less time.

Yeah I would just do that, the install for the e3 is very tedious.

Follow the instructions and its not that bad of an install. Problem is finding a legit e3 flasher, there are so many fake ones out there.
Find an e3 flasher without the esata dock and by one seperate. The one that comes with it is crap and you can find a cheaper one thats better.

I still haven't seen a legit one anywhere. People have to rig cardboard and crap to get the thing to fit properly and i think that is what screws everything up. I'll just try to find a 3.55 ps3 and softmod. It.

why is the e3 flasher needed for if it was possible to jailbreak when geohot made it?

So with the Motorola Triumph being announced today, I am planning to return my LG Optimus V so I can get the Triumph while I'm still in the return period at Best Buy.
I've rooted the V, installed ClockWorkMod, and installed AOSP CM7 ROM. How do I go about restoring it to the factory ROM and removing ClockWorkMod? Alternately, do you think I could just reset to the standard AOSP CM7 mod and return it hoping they don't notice? - Scratch that. Probably should restore to original ROM since in AOSP some functionality doesn't work (Camera, bluetooth, etc) so Best Buy doesn't have to throw the phone out and lose $200.
Edit:
I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum. Please move it if it is.

Go to the rooting section at android central for the opitmus v and read.
Sent from my LG-VM670 using XDA Premium App
definitely gonna look into getting the triumph when its released. A 5.1mp camera with flash and a way faster processor! But the question is: does it have a locked bootloader?
As for your question, there is nothing wrong with your phone and you voided your warrenty. returning it now is against best buys rules and could also be considered illegal. That being said did you make a backup of your factory install before you installed cm7?
Do what I did, restore your vanilla unrooted stock nandroid and then flash the stock recovery. You could do it through recovery, there is a nice post in this forum for the flashing the stock recovery from within the custom recovery to make it easy. Done.
Sent from my VM670 using XDA App
Thank you, but could you give me a little more guidance? Where is the post for flashing the stock recovery?
The V is my first Android phone, so I am kinda an android n00b. I'm not sure I have my vanilla stock nandroid backup. I think I may have deleted it to get some space/might not have made one because of the guide I was following didn't specify to.

There is no way this phone will cost 300-400 bucks. I bet it will be $250 tops.
I wouldnt mind picking one of these up for $150 used but I would be willing to pay up to 250 if the phone is fast and has good battery life. I use my android phone for everything: music, email, games, etc. So its not that bad a deal considering I am not going to drop money on an iPod or a DS/PSP.
Try every post that says Stock in the title.
I'm not too excited about this new phone. I laugh everytime I see someone with a big phone holding it up to their ear, looks like they are holding a small book against their head. I would rather have a phone that fits easily in my pocket, and a tablet for things I want a larger screen for.
Your right its a little big but has a 1ghz processor. Sure we will wait and see how what I will cost 250.00 to 300.00. I would ckeck it out first.

no down side to rooting, benefits are more access to different areas of the system, and able to modify parts not accessible before rooting. Now the best way will depend on what you want, if you care about the flash counter then go to my thread in the dev section, if you don't care about the flash counter or warranty then I definitely recommend Da_G's overclocking kernel that also roots the device.
Wifi tethering, removing bloatware, blocking adds from free apps, are a couple and flashing custom roms/kernels which enhance performance. You also run the risk of bricking your device... Rooting also voids your warranty. So think carefully before jumping into it.

The only downside is losing warranty, really.

What exactly does.increasing the flash counter so? And if I do choose one can I revert back to stock?

Samsung added a flash counter that when you flash any custom rom /kernel/recovery will keep track of how may times you have flashed firmware supposedly to decide who deny warranty to. You can revert back to stock but not the counter.

Double post sorry
As Android is based on a linux kernel, rooting your device is allowing yourself access to the very lowest level of system files. Doing so allows you to make alterations that are to your benefit, but of course this is also a vulnerability. These same system files control the well being of your device, and thus malicious applications are capable of corrupting it's files.
Nothing once we get ICS the counter can be reset to 0.

Amazon Video might be detecting root and not allowing me to log in. Not sure if thats it or not though.
I rooted using da g method and the only downsides i have seen so far are fc's on the xda app, random reboots, and the flash counter issue. However, since the cwm zip came out, all of the above issues except for the flash counter have been corrected.

The directions in DaG's thread are super simple. Just take it slow and read it good and it should be pain free.
Another app that doesn't work when rooted is the UltraViolet application for watching movies that offer the UltraViolet digital copies. I think there is mention that Amazon Prime Video streaming also doesn't work due to root.

Is that just the root only? or root with over clocking?

It's root only. The benefits of rooting are far more advantageous though. I just deal with the issue above! I can use something like DVDFab and make my own movie files that play fine.
Ok can you lot give me a few good reasons to root my transformer prime and install a new ROM. I've been looking at some of the ROMs and they all look kinda.... **** lol no offence. they just look to much like the prime unrooted but with a few changed to colour really :/
i rooted my SGS2 and installed the muiu ROM i think its called and thats great i llove it. it looks different and that's what i want
someone prove me wrong please
Do you want full control over your device? The ability to get rid of the asus crapware and run your own things? I too rooted my SGS2 after about a week of owning it and haven't regretted it.
With root you can install adblockers, backup tools (proper ones), overclocking
If you're technically minded and want to get the most out of your money then root, if you don't want to risk damaging your Aluminium piece of sexy then don't.

Rooting is definitely the way to go, doesnt affect your ability to get ota's and what not, if you want to unlock i say wait a lil bit longer to find out when or if ASUS is going to release nvflash to us, granted it definitely looks promising giving Gary Key's latest update.
That said if you want to unlock you can still get AOKP from jermaine just not from here, whether he is still supporting the rom is an entirely different question
hmmmmm ok i dont know i suppose i could just get root access and keep it as stock then. im going to have to find out how to root this now sigh lol research.. i'll look it in about 3 hours lol
I would highly suggest you root it since if any things happen you can just factory default the tablet and it'll be unrooted
So there's really nothing to loss rooting it
Just make sure after you root your device you backup the root so you don't loss it after you update the prime
lol you lost me after backing up my root. =/
i just tried to use sparkyroot but it doesnt seem to be working. im going to look at other methods.
dont think i can root it can i im currently on 9.4.2.21
Check the general thread, there is a way to downgrade and then root it without unlocking.

Now their is a pkg for it, install that on ps3 and run it, you will be on factory service mod
EVEN IF YOU FIND THIS FOR SGS2 DON'T TRY THIS ON FIRMWARE ABOVE 3.55 AS YOU WILL BE STUCK ON FACTORY SERVICE MODE FOREVER
EDIT: This is not the correct section for ps3 stuff
try www.ps3hax.net
A bit more detail it allows you to use android phone as a jig for ps3

What firmware you are on?
Bellow 3.55?
I'm on 4.11 but I've got e3 flasher and I've done everything to downgrade up to the step where you need USB jig to get to the service mode and after searching a while I found that it has been done for Android but unfortunately not for gs2 only htcs....
I don't mind to get one but they all being delivered from Hong Kong its gonna take forever as well as I thought public might like an idea saving ten quid and maximise gs2 capabilities...

You know what guys, I really miss honeycomb. Especially the way you add widgets and also the customization that Sony did with the app drawer- they shouldn't have gotten rid of it in my opinion.
I still have my old Tablet S (Although with a cracked screen sadly)
Is it possible (I have root) to downgrade to 3.2?
Why did Google get rid of the awesome screen which added widgets.
Or perhaps someone could send the launcher?
Ive done extensive research and tried many methods and asked people alot smarter than me it cant be done until the bootloader is u locked. Once it is than we can the reason is because the recovery has been updated in the current version of android and once it is you cant go back because it is part of the Rom and is hidden. Yes ive tried downgrading and before I got bootlooped it said cannot because of recovery version. I WASTED about 2 months on this idea as well as a few other people and also Condi the best dev we have over here for the tablet s has tried and theres still no way until the bootloader. Ive also looked at testpoint unlock but if you've ever looked at the motherboard theres gazillions of testpoints so who knows which is the right one plus taking it apart isnt exactly a walk in the park like it is with phones. Youll just have to wait like me. Btw head over and sign the bootloader unlock petition.
