I've been doing some research and am interested in downgrading but I have a few questions that I would like answers to if possible.
I will be purchasing the E3 flasher for nor chips, so these questions are in regarding me flashing with that specific system
1. Everything that I've read, has pointed to it being possible, but I would like to make sure that it is. My model number is CECH-2501B (currently on FW 4.50) will it be possible to downgrade, then jailbreak my device?
2. What is the best custom firmware to install?
3. If I downgrade, jailbreak, and install a custom firmware will I be able to play newer games like Grand Theft Auto 5(and those that come out later)?
4. Will I be able to play games online without being banned(like Grand Theft Auto 5)
5. Once I've flashed, downgraded, and installed a CFW(which one I'm unsure), will I be able to save the games that I currently have(like GTA V) to the hard drive and play them without the disk? Also, if I'm playing from the hard drive, will I be able to play online, or will I need to put the disk back in in order to play online?
5. I've read different things concerning multiple systems. If I purchase the E3 flasher, will I be able to flash as many systems as I like, or can I only flash one system?
5b. Do I need to do anything different in order to set the E3 flasher up to flash more than one system?
6. I take it, in order to dual boot, I'd need 2 separate hard drives correct?
6b. If I decide to install the dual boot, will I later be able to take it apart, use the E3 flasher to flash another PS3, then put it back together on my system again to get my dual boot back?
7. Im watching this video
youtube.com/watch?v=7oYsZzXf0wo
everyone has different ways of doing the downgrade and installation, but this seems as though it will work just right.
At 16:20 in the video it talks about cutting electricity and taking out and putting back in power cord, do I really cut the electricity or just turn off the ps3 completely?
Also, it talks about a dongle, do I really need a dongle, or will any usb stick with the CFW on it work? I will NOT be using the CFW he uses in the video, but instead I will use Habib 4.46 v1.03a Cobra CFW(I believe it to be the best?)
8. I'm trying to find the best place to purchase the E3 flasher, I keep hearing about aliexpress.com, and this seller has a good rating. What do you think?

8b. The list description at the link above says downgrades 3.7 and 3.72
This will still work to downgrade my 4.5 OFW console though, right?
These are all of the questions that I have at the moment. If I have any more, I will be sure to add them.
Thank you in advance to everyone who answers
