I am currently at 3.3U but I have read that I should Update prior to using the Firmware Downgrader to 3.2U. I am new to this but this would indicate to allow the 3.4U upgrade to be installed? Is this advisable?
Thank You

If you are serious about downgrading, I advise you NOT to upgrade to 3.4 beforehand. Because once on 3.4, downgrading requires installing and illegal file beforehand.

I got this idea because the post that I read stated all Home Brew applications would not run on 3.3U or 3.4U so the suggestion was to downgrade to 3.2U? So should I leave it at 3.3U and then downgrade to 3.2U? Or leave it at 3.3U?
Your Help is Appreciated.
Thank You

Whatever you read is completely, 100% positively, wrong. The only applications that will not run on 3.3v2 or 3.4 are the applications that illegally install channels or play burned games.

no, preloader, starfall and anyregion changer (maybe xyzzy) won't work on those either...
so the document is correct.

Okay, you got me. I left out a few applications that also would no longer work. BTW, dvdx will also no longer work. However, those aren't even one tenth of all homebrew applications. So the document is still incorrect.

that's right... I forgot about DVDx...
I'm still trying to figure out what all the drama was about comex's installer.
