If you're following PS3 scene, you probably came across "spkg sig check patch"
without any explanation what is that. From vague hints given at
rebug.me you seem to have QA Flag and spkg sig check patched for a successful
downgrade in the future. While QA flag is more or less clear, how to
patch signature check on your console seems a mystery.
Well, judging from dev wiki, this sig check exploit was first discovered by
kakaroto, and following the link in his tweet we find an explanation how to
bypass signature check in new firmware, so that older compromised PS3 keys
would be still operational. Or something like that.
That means that you as a user should not patch sig check on your precious
console. This patch is applied to the firmware files when devs create their
custom firmwares.
