MD5 Toggle_QA_Links.rar: C7EC0E4AD7A155CD60B62F3CB0304153
MD5 toggle_qa.pkg: FB11BEC5A0DDE6600BAEE0CC36742D54

Everything else is wrong.

@Cyberskunk: assume I have lv1 mmap and lv2 peek and poke 3.55 debug cfw.

Will this work on a debug PS3?

The MD5 has been fixed in the OP and on our site.

Not sure why you want to QA a DEX but if it has lv1mmap and lv2 peek and poke it should work.

Not sure how it will affect the operation of a DEX though.

Yes you can.

After you have ran Toggle QA successfully you can downgrade using recovery mode.

Why would you do it through recovery mode? I thought the great thing of QA mode is clean downgrade through normal XMB?

shiiiiiit!!! great job cyberskunk great great job...

that is the one that does not require ss services (ps3dm-utils) to activate right?

Awesome work ))

It is a clean downgrade.. Through 'Recovery Mode'.. That is how it has always worked..

Okay. Out of curiosity, is it not a good idea to do a downgrade using a lower version PUP straight from the regular XMB using the QA debug update option? When you say recovery mode, is it the mode where you are shown rebuild database etc and 4-5 other options?

I am just wondering as I always see devs saying install a PUP through recovery, but if this facility is there through QA'ing a PS3 (downgrade in regular XMB), is there any reason not to use it?

Best use you'll get out of QA flagging is really just to be able to store updates to the HDD and upgrade and downgrade at will without a dongle.
No other flags were released, still QA flagging comes in handy all the time.

What other flags are there? Debug I'm guessing but any others?

[Pockets69]

no downgrading straight from xmb, will error out (no brick or anything) and will return to xmb, it only works from recovery mode (RECOVERY not service mode)

As far as flagging there are others... but people (some) didn't put much effort into searching for them... it was a time that flashers were not as available as they are now, and a brick would kill your machine...

[afiser]

even flashing wont help if you flag something wrong, all the values are in syscon and as of now there is no way to changes those values with hardware, besides using the ps3 directly.
