How to find serial number in bios
 

Hi guys, how can I find a serial number in the bios dump, reason I ask is I have messed up all my bios dumps, and I have a black screen of death console here that I did ages ago and need to find the right bios dump for it.

Thanks

use HxD then CTRL + G type offset: 0003F090 in and click ok
its only a part of PS3 serial: xx-27438416-xxxxxxx

OK thanks just tested on a good bios dump and got this line

37 32 35 34 31 33 30 32 48 33 31 46 36 30 39 39 plus some more number/letters at the end where I'm I looking for the serial ?

Are you blind?

OK just tried 6 different bios dumps at looked at line 0003F090 and for some reason all my serial numbers start with a 7 and not a 2 ?

37 32 33 34 34 37 30 32 4C 33 31 45 35 30 33 35 72344702L31E5035

Next one

37 32 33 34 33 38 39 36 30 34 36 30 35 30 37 30 7234389604605070


What I'm I doing wrong ?

bytereversed you need to do first

you get what you ask! so if your PS3´s serial are starting with xx-72344702-xxxxxxxx all ok(never seen it so must be 2743...),
or you must byte reverse your dump before with flowrebuilder if its a bkpps.bin!
"Byte reverse and EXTRACT a NOR dump file."
if not its seems that your dump are bad!

next step are checking your dump´s and find it out, so easy it is!
oh, forget if this ps3 was flashed using this dupms for downgrade and you dont have a other good of this PS3 you have a permabrick PS3

reason are: pc cISD1 start offset: 0x03F060 end offset: 0x03F260 console 2nd part serial @ 0x3F090 size 0x8
pc= per console = unique data per PS3= unique like your finger print

Thanks Alex all sorted now I have found my bios dump.
