No problem. Before I got RSOD, I tried to install via XMB. Which lead to RSOD. Should have done via lv2diag.self method.

1. Before you start be in Rogero 3.55 DEX CFW
2. Flash your CEX.EID0.NORBIN in multiman CEX
3. Exit Multiman.
4. Now this is the important part. Do not reboot or turn off ps3 with remote, you will brick it. Do a system update by going into recovery mode, (Turn off Playstation; hold the power button down; the system will turn on and turn off once again, once the system has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps; when you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button; you will be promted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button; the Recovery menu will pop up; choose system update.)
Update your PS3 by using Rogero 3.55CEX CFW v3.4 ( this CEX fw have LV1 syscon checks patched to avoid Bricking ).
5. Done, your back to CEX firmware.

If you want you could install your favorite CFW after Rogero 3.55 CEX CFW v3.4.
I'm not responsible for any bricks this may cause. I'm just sharing what I did to convert my ps3 back to CEX from DEX. Good luck!

Hello @dk3417 ,

I have a few clarification.

When you say "Do not reboot or turn off ps3 with remote" what to you mean?

After you have flashed "Flash your CEX.EID0.NORBIN in multiman CEX", You exit Multiman, and you will be back in XMB. Instead of turning of the PS3 via XMB or Controller, Turn off PS3 via power button? Right? Do you straight go to Recovery mode or you shutdown first than to Recovery mode?



If you notice the video, he shutdown the ps3 via XMB, then he goes to recovery menu.

Thank you.
