Yes I am on a NAND unit.

To get metldr dump I used Cex2Dex (Gunner54's), with my memorydump.pkg

Then I used linux to metldrpwn, put the dump file from that on USB stick and over to PC.

Used Cex2Dex (top) Flash dump (Bottom) dump from metldrpwn
No errors, spit out the DEXFLASH.bin

Put DEXFLASH.bin on root of usb stick

Put usb stick on PS3

Booted into petitboot

cd tmp/petitboot/mnt/sdd1

Ran command

dd if=DEXFLASH.bin of=/dev/ps3nflasha bs=1024

As I said before

made a list of replaced/removed files, offset by one. I will try installing again and take a pic of what it says.

rebooted to gameOS tried update = FAIL
rebooted into recovery tried update = FAIL

Now what I dont know is if metldrpwn actually worked or not. I am assuming yes since Cex2Dex compiled DEXFLASH.

What would be great is if someone could give me a NAND version of what to do atthe point that I extract metldr dump with Cex2Dex, the following steps needed...(dont need decryption, but want to be sure....)

Whats needed bolded in RED, would appreciate ALL

1. Decrypt metldr/dump with metldrpwn
2. using decrypted dump from metldrpwn
3. creation of DEXFLASH.bin with dump from metldrpwn
4. Writing to Flash in Petitboot/Linux
5. Finally, best place to find DEX update.pup

On a side note, I have printed out the original guide by bleh and have been making the necessary changes to the guide to repost when I am done. Thanks to bleh for the guide and for all the help in irc you have given me!
