hello Noob here...

hello every one, Yes I am a noob... but not a complete noob to moding,, I have a few wii's but now I decided to step up my game. There is lots of info out here, and I find many different answers to the same question, if any one can answer my questions, I will soon be out of your hair.
1. I have a CECH 2001A OFW 4.30... do i have to flash to downgrade? the reason I ask is because of this site.. http://ps3haxblogs.wordpress.com/201...reak-released/

please tell me this is legit.. if not I do not want to go through the trouble of flashing myself.. can i find someone In Richmond to do it for me...

thanks in advance
