My PS3 fat With DIA-001 do not start XMB: it ask connect controller and give FW 3.55 or higher. When I try update it (put PUP-file if usb:/PS3/UPDATE/) to any firmware 3.55 or higher - it says "data is corrupted" (errors 8002F225 or 8002F2B5 or 8002F2C5). In revicery menu I have same errors.

I can`t put it into factory/service mode by PSP with PS3JIG - console just boot and ask to connect controller and give correct firmware. (PS3JIG works fine on my another slim console).
I tried to make dospedros_v2 "downgrade" with TEENSY (now it soldered and ready to flash any NOR dumps) - console just boot and ask to connect controller and give correct firmware on italian language. PS#JIG does not work too.

Previous consoles owner says that he just format HDD on PC. After that he saw this errors. I try format it on PC in different filesystems. I formated it on another 3.55 consoles. There is no result.

I think that firmware was damaged and now it can not update correctly.

Any ideas how fix it?

update your teensy firmware with new hex binary. you can't use beta with old hex.

thanks, it works but only FF maybe wrong Voltage Regulator?

do i need to wire the NOR VVC to teensy oder what ever?

Don't know. Did you get it from pjrc? Then it's probably correct. Did you follow their instructions to mount it (cut 5V trace, etc)?

No.

Edit: You've read the "README.txt" and your PS3 is turned on, right?

TS2940 should be good because:
1) TS2940 and MCP1825 are pin-compatible
2) TS2940 is able to supply more than enough current (1 Amp)

Edit: If you want to make sure the regulator is working properly you will need a multimeter. Plug teensy in with USB, set multimeter to measure volts, put black probe on teensy GND and red probe on teensy 5V. If the multimeter shows 3.3V then the reg is OK.

EDIT: OOK now works ^^

i forget to tun on the PS3. Now i find the IFI in the dumped NOR Flash! great job guys and thanks for help...

EDIT:.. uhh... i think is not working perfectly... i read out the dump.. sometime IFI Information ist reading.. but not the same dump... oO

[xNand]

Just tested NORway 0.4 BETA 9 and i got a few successful dumps but i can't get it to erase or write to my Samsung p14B with ANY of the commands.
It just says unknown chip manufacturer and exits...

Is it because i'm not turning the PS3 on and flashing????

My Bad.... I forgot 2 connections... sorry :/

Still Not working

Set SB to tristate

NOR chip manufacturer: Macronix (0xc2)

Checking sector protection...
No protected sectors found!

STATUS_TRIST_N: True

STATUS_READY:   True
STATUS_CE_N:    False
STATUS_WE_N:    True

is this maybe a wire problem? That the Wire from Teensy E0 to Mainboard CE is not working? Is all True need it? Or is that normal?

EDIT: My Voltage Regulator give 3.24V is it enough?

Its normal. Keep in mind that all those showned STATEs are outputs, not inputs, so they are not verified. You could have all those pins unconnected to PS3 chip and have those same "fake valid" STATEs..

3.0-3.6V is OK to work.

I tried with a Samsung K8Q2815UQB(tough one).
I want to say that in my case i never had the same MD5 from dumped files, so im having troubles to read too.
For those who cant write the upper chip in Samsung K8Q2815UQB, check out my experiment:
I unplugged line A22 from Teensy++ and get 3.3V from line. So, the only way to write the upper chip was to put a series resistor in A22 to GND.

I've been coding based on judges excellent work, and made some experiments that could confirm my theory.

PS3 flash chip lines are both driven by PS3 and flasher hardware(Teensy++ in my case) so i think reading/writing problems are associated with this. I don't know why problems are different in differents PS3, but i do know this:

If i power suppy PS3 flash chip from an external source, the only chip that seems to get warmed in the PS3 is the black one near Samsung FLASH chip, were all FLASH memory lines go...

ah ok, thanks CrackMyDay...

... so i cut again all wire... realy...shorter is not possible on CECH2004B. I dumpe tje NOR three times... all dumps have the IFI on 00000200. But if i check two dumpes... like flash.bin and flash2.bin... he finde many different entrys...

i think its no normal right ?
