so it is not really 100% confirmed that your way back to CEX will work on fats with NANDs without a brick...
my suggestion after 3 bricks and many hours and nights with testing:
- do not use a FAT PS3 for the conversion, its only safe if you have a progskeet
- use NOR slims for that.. but only if you got a hardware-JIG for eventually fixing the most seen semi-bricks (5 beeps, red blinking).. only with the JIG-Dongle you can enter FSM to unbrick it without the need of a E3
btw.. i have ordered my E3 yesterday.. hope to get a used slim at weekend..
my next project will be dual-boot.. one hdd OFW 4.2 <-> one hdd CFW 3.55

So it seems QA Flagging is the key to prevent you from a brick in NOR PS3.

Does this mean, if you have a NOR PS3, and you have QA Flagged, it will bypass syscon checks during DEX <-> CEX?
