Sorry for hijacking the thread op, but....Really? When you toggled fsm, did it boot like normal? Or did it shut off by itself and then you turn it back on and have no red box? I'm asking because I have a chechE01 model on firmware 1.94 ofw. I tried to use my e3 card reader to get into fsm, but it just boots up, and never shuts itself off. It also doesn't show the red box. Think it may be in fsm?

Nevermind. I guess I answered my own question. It seems as if I am not getting into fsm. My e3 card reader lights up red and then the XMb boots up, but the card reader never turns blue or shuts off the ps3. Dang, I was hoping I was onto something.
