Thanks for the response.

I was using a guide that had a 3.55 downgrade and 3.55 CFW for after downgrade. Everything worked fine, downgrade was a success, installing new CFW was a success, the problem came when I ran setup vflash for otheros, I rebooted into Recovery, choose to restore (I cant remember actual name, but I have done this enough times, the option right above upgrade) to formate the hdd for otheros. It went to 3% and errored with the above error. and since then NO hard drive is working.

To sum up:
Downgrade DEX 4.20 - 3.55 = Success
Install CFW 3.55 (22gb Otheros peek poke ect) = success
Format hard drive to install otheros = fail
any hdd since = fail
any FW DEX 3.41 - 4.20 = Fail

Frustrating.

I have old backups of my flash, but that just causes a brick or no response at all.

4.21 OFW/CEX Backup = Brick
3.55 DEX Backup no boot at all to anything
3.55 Rogero CFW/CEX = no boot at all to anything

So I have backups, the one i am at now and the three above. I am stumped, cant upgrade or downgrade...

EDIT: I am now flashing back to original state and will keep trying to format a drive, any drive.

I read somewhere in my searching that this specific error means the ps3 stopped communicating with the usb device for update (Meaning the USB drive that has ps3updat.pup), is that true?

I wish there was a lvl2diag downgrading procedure for dex

Last question before help reply

Can I leave the SBE to PA0 NOR Tristate wire in place?
Or should that be removed? Because after the brick and trying to reflash it is not booting on anything, but that wire is still in place, should it be removed is it preventing booting?
