• [RELEASE] Gitbrew PS3 Brick Fix for 3.55 and lower

    PS3 Hacks , 21.10.2011

    The good folks over at Gitbrew have just announced that they have a brick fix for ps3′s on 3.55 and lower. Here is to quote gitbrew.

    Beta brick fixing

    This is a beta tool. It has only be tested on otheros++ nand bricks and some pup updater file errors.

    This hasn’t been 100% tested, though we’re looking for people to try it to see what bricks it will actually fix.

    Tutorial

    1. Put both files into the root directory of a flash drive.

    2. Put the dongle into the ps3 while it is off and start it.

    3. If the flash drive is activated it can be fixed using this.

    4. If it however does not, the only fix for it until a software side is found is a hardware flasher.

    lv2diag.self

    PS3UPDAT.PUP

    Please note this will ONLY work on 3.55 and lower, and in only a small amount of cases.

      Too bad it's 3.55 and below. I have a 3.73 with red screen of death, most likely a bad nand brick. Maybe in the future it's possible to revive this machine.

      It's experimental, and we don't have a waninikoko brick to try and flash, thus we can't really add support for it =\

      It's a no go on the Waninkoko brick. I picked one up on ebay a while back not knowing. I tried this on it with no luck.

      If u r a coder, could u make a waninkoko brick by yourself with wanky cfw Ver1, and then take a experiment

      We don't have a ps3 capable of bricking via wanikoko, so we can't actually test much without it.

      I Have a 80GB Backwards Compatible PS3 That Failed on the Stock 3.50 Update
      and This Console Never Had CFW of any Kind Installed.....

      it is stuck in a update loop and Fails at 4% No Matter What FW i try.....
      Even if i don,t Have a usb stick in the ps3 and Switch Hdd,s it still finds a update and fails at 4%


      i tried yours and here,s the Results..............


      the Usb is Active on Boot but the update still fails at 4%

      after The Failed attempts i Get this Message

      An error occurred during the update operation.
      (8002F0C1)


      A Local Modder Told Me it Was a Chip on my Board That is Bad Thats Why it Always Fails at 4% But i think He Talking B.S Because He offered $140 for it after i told him i don,t want to sell...

      Do u Guys think a Nand Programmer Would Fix My Issues.??????

      Tried and unfortunately failed on a 2.10 OFW update brick CECHG. It failed an update and the HDD was formatted, seems like it won't go into Service Mode anyway.

      Thanks anyway guys!

      You guys really need to read the article over better... It specifically says it's a fix for PS3's which have Nand and were bricked with OtherOS++. My PS3 would be a prime example of this, as that is exactly what happened to me when I accidentally skipped a step. Except with me it might not even work, due not having any power to the USB slots, the only hope may be if it works with the memory card reader slots.

      This is not a "fix-all solution", only pertains to PS3's with the above conditions.

      We're still looking for other brick fixings, software / dongle based. We don't have any hardware that has any of these problems though, so we can't really help with it any further then that .

      what would help immensely is people that have damaged machines would send them to gitbrew, to allow better research and development.
