If you're asking...
How to Downgrade
PS3 4.40 firmware?
PSDowngrade is now
updated for the newest PS3 firmware 4.40. You Now have two options open
to you and still remains the ONLY solderless downgrade solution. No need
to mess around with or NOR or NAND flashing!
Either downgrade ps3
to 3.55 OFW and install the 3.55 PS3 CFW or install the newer Rogereo
CFW 4.40 which will give you access to the latest games and online access
(including the store). However the 3.41 CFW at this time will not run
much of the older homebrew such as emulators and games. Choose the correct
PS3 Custom Firmware depending on your needs for the console.

Download the required
files HERE
place them onto a usb memory stick and update as normal. This will place

(or even CFW).
All files required
can be download HERE
Working on all
firmware revisions up to and including 4.40. Also now fully tested on
3k and 4k PS3 systems including the new Super Slim PS3. Now for
the first time ALL PS3 users can enjoy homebrew and game backups without
