In the “NORway programs” folder find the HxD hex editor install it and then run it.
1 first time opening
2 click file click open
3 select all your dumps and select compare
4 leave the top as it is and change the bottom as you check each dump.
5 you should see this message after each dump has been checked. If you don’t delete all your dumps and try dumping again. If you still get errors at this point check your wiring.
When there all the same just have 1 dump open (we will use this all the time now)
6 get a statistics.
7 The fine blue bars are either side are what need checking (the one to the left is highlighted in red put your mouse on the left line and you should get a reading between 18.71% - 29.01% (in the area circled in blue) and the line on the right should be between 10.42% - 10.48%
Now close the statistics tab
8 The first thing you should see at offset 00000010 is FACEOFF , DEADBEEF
9 if you see AC OF FF EO , AD DE EF BE then your dumps need byte reversing (see below the next 2 images for byte reverse steps) if you don’t see either then you have a bad dump. Re-do all your wiring and start again
10 you should see at offset 00000200 is IFI

11 if you see FI.I then your dump’s needs byte reversing. again if you don’t see either then you have a bad dump. Re-do all your wiring and start again
If you did see FI.I in your dump then you need to use flow rebuilder with the byte reverse option if it says IFI then you can skip this step
Byte reverse
Byte reverse
Inside NORway programs folder find FlowRebuilder run it

1 this is the main screen

2 select byte reverse a dump

3 click the box next to brows, drag & drop, drop down

4 select your dump

5 click execute operation
6 and it’s done it is in the same place as the dump and its added “swap” to the name = flash.swap.bin
create a folder called original dumps and put all your flash.bin files in it
now rename the flash.swap.bin to flash.bin (this will make it easier to follow the rest of the guide)
First find the IDPS/TARGET ID & METLDR and then BOOTLDR (were still using the hex editor)
The area to find these depends on your ps3 model

12 IDPS/TARGET ID is at 0002F077 (scroll down to 0002F070 then the top row of numbers is your last digit)
CECH-20xx (DYN-001 boards) it should have the value 09 (this is what is in the image)
CECH-21xx (SUR-001 boards) it should have the value 0A
CECH-25xx (JTP-001 boards) it should have the value 0B
CECH-25xx (JSD-001 boards) it should have the value 0B


13 METLDR is at 0000081E & 00000842
CECH-20xx (DYN-001 boards) it should have either one of these value’s E9 20 at 0000081E & 0E 8E at 00000842 “OR” E8 90 at 0000081E & 0E 85 at 00000842 (this is what’s shown in the picture)
CECH-21xx (SUR-001 boards) it should have the value E9 20 at 0000081E & 0E 8E at 00000842
CECH-25xx (JTP-001 boards) it should have either one of these value’s E9 20 at 0000081E & 0E 8E at 00000842 “OR” E9 60 at 0000081E & 0E 92 at 00000842
WARNING IF IT HAS THIS F9 20 at 0000081E & 0F 8E at 00000842 STOP NOW YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE THIS PS3 MODEL
CECH-25xx (JSD-001 boards) it should have this value E9 20 at 0000081E & 0E 8E at 00000842
WARNING IF IT HAS THIS F9 20 at 0000081E & 0F 8E at 00000842 STOP NOW YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE THIS PS3 MODEL


14 BOOTLDR is at 00FC0002 & 00FC0012
CECH-20xx (DYN-001 boards) it should have either one of these value’s 2F 3B at 00FC0002 & 2F 3B at 00FC0012 “OR” 2F 13 at 00FC0002 & 2F 13 at 00FC0012 (this is what’s shown in the picture)
CECH-21xx (SUR-001 boards) it should have the value 2F 4B at 00FC0002 & 2F 4B at 00FC0012
CECH-25xx (JTP-001 boards) it should have either one of these value’s 2F 4B at 00FC0002 & 2F 4B at 00FC0012 “OR” 2F 53 at 00FC0002 & 2F 53 at 00FC0012
WARNING IF IT HAS THIS 2F 5B at 00FC0002 & 2F 5B at 00FC0012 OR 2F FB at 00FC0002 & 2F FB at 00FC0012 STOP NOW YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE THIS PS3 MODEL
CECH-25xx (JSD-001 boards) it should have this value 2F 4B at 00FC0002 & 2F 4B at 00FC0012
WARNING IF IT HAS THIS 2F FB at 00FC0002 & 2F FB at 00FC0012 STOP NOW YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE THIS PS3 MODELIf you’re not getting some or none of these then you need to check your wiring and re-dump
Ok now we need to take a look and check there are no malformed headers / file names / region names. This is what we are looking for:-
