This one is probably going to be painful to watch for all of you who had this happen to them “for real” and don’t have access to this “probably-not-legal-in-most-countries” Ta88v3 downgrader. Developer Yoti shows us a video of him installing 5.50 Gen D3 on a ta88v3 (a guaranteed brick, since apparently the installer doesn’t check the motherboard type), and then unbrick it with a Pandora and a magic memory stick.
Of course, if you’re the owner of a Ta88v3, you probably already know that the Magic Memory Stick + Pandora battery combination don’t work on your motherboard, the kit in this video is a different one, allegedly based on some leaked content from Sony’s official unbricking tools (and therefore, you won’t easily find download links).
