PS3DJB Downgrades & Jailbreaks PlayStation 3 With Android HTC HD2
PS3DJB is a small tool for HTC HD2 (running Android) that simplifies the process of bypassing the restrictions set by the latest PlayStation 3 firmware update to downgrading its firmware and jailbreak it, using the popular PSDAndroid and PSFreedom apps.

The latest Sony PlayStation 3 firmware updates have made jailbreaking the popular gaming console impossible using currently available tools. The only way to bypass this is by downgrading your console’s firmware first. XDA-Developers forum members Darkstone and mangahoteles have developed tools to do that using an HTC HD2 (running Android), but the process of setting up the required files on the phone was tedious, as it involved editing startup.txt, opening GScriptLite etc.
XDA-Developers forum member HackMimic has just released an app that you can install to your device while running Windows Mobile, and it will copy all the files necessary for the downgrade and jailbreak process, to your Android installation on the SD card.
