What can I say? I do have the very same configuration, soldered the teensy, re-assembled my ps3, created the initial NORway version and it worked correctly right away.

To rule out some error sources: Win7 x64 does work, I'm also using it. Win7 x86 (on a notebook) does work, tried it several times.

Wiring? I used 30AWG Kynar wire (single strand) with just one GND connection (use more GND connections for testing). Works like a charme. EMI? Maybe. Try routing your wires the same way as I did (have a look at the installation pics in the NORway archive). Re-assemble your PS3, so that shielding is in place.

What's left? Teensy might be defective or power regulator isn't providing enough current. You might wanna try running it at 5V without regulator (at your own risk). I did it, it didn't do any harm, but be aware that it is beyond NOR specs.

hey, apart recommending you to solder several GND points especially if you use AWG32 or higher, here's another thing that bugged me first couple of tries:
when you turn your ps3 on, wait for 20 whole seconds before trying to dump nor.

it took me too long a time to figure this one out i doubt it is a fluke, maybe 20 seconds is too long, but it sure worked for me.

Hey,

I've dumped my NOR (PS3 80GB CECHK04) succsessfully...

now I want to prepare the downgrade.bin...

I have extract my dump with FlowRebuilder v.4.1.3.2... but I've got Errors

OPERATION COMPLETED WITH ERRORS! Could not successfully extract all Dump files because an error occured. Part of file has been extract here: "$PATH TO FILE$"

Is that normal... or is anything wrong??

PS: Sorry for my bad English

[bahaa_monier]

I did what you told me ,
succesfully dumber 3 identical dumps :

NOR chip manufacturer: Spansion (0x01)
NOR chip type: S29GL128 (0x7e2101)

Checking sector protection...
No protected sectors found!

STATUS_TRIST_N: True
STATUS_RESET_N: True
STATUS_READY: True
STATUS_CE_N: False
STATUS_WE_N: True
STATUS_OE_N: True

Resetting NOR...
Ready.

Dumping NOR...
16384 KB / 16384 KB
Done. [0:01:13.956000]

i modified the dump and wrote it :

Pinging...
Set SB to tristate

NOR chip manufacturer: Spansion (0x01)
NOR chip type: S29GL128 (0x7e2101)

Checking sector protection...
No protected sectors found!

STATUS_TRIST_N: True
STATUS_RESET_N: True
STATUS_READY: True
STATUS_CE_N: False
STATUS_WE_N: True
STATUS_OE_N: True

Resetting NOR...
Ready.

Writing...
16384 KB / 16384 KB
Done. [0:06:01.407000]

but the PS3 when tern it on , it just tern on and don't turn off or detect the usb connected with files on usb2 port .
( The Tennsy++ still wired )

tried to write again using this method but i got :

Pinging...
Set SB to tristate

NOR chip manufacturer: Spansion (0x01)
NOR chip type: unknown (0x7e2505)

STATUS_TRIST_N: True
STATUS_RESET_N: True
STATUS_READY: True
STATUS_CE_N: True
STATUS_WE_N: True
STATUS_OE_N: True

Resetting NOR...
Ready.

Unknown device id! Exiting...

is it wiring problem ( Maybe disconnected )
Please Advise ?

Thanks

try this method.


bahaa_monier,
If You want to Use Teensy as psgrooev/psgrade when it wired - just desolder D6-wire from Teensy and it will works so
If You want to use NORway - just solder D6 back.

I use switch on D6 pin to avoid soldering/resoldering D6. 'Cliclk' and It becomes ps3 dongle, 'click' again and it become NOR flasher.

thanks for help... i solder now 4 GND cable. I wait 20 seconds... same sh**
What is AWG32 ?

What NOR chip do You have?

thank you
but i still can't flash my Nor again ,
my nor chip type : unknown
and i tried to use my flasher for downgrade , but the ps3 don't detect any usb connected to it .
is it normal ?
or i did some thing wrong
i can dumb
but can't write on my nor .

please help and thank you

If chip manufacturer is unknown - You can not dump correct. Check Your dumps with norpatch. Is it detect ros0/ros1.
If chip manufacturer is unknown - there is wires/soldering problem. Check all connections and resolder if needed.

i checked when dumped :

PRG0 version is 3.50
PRG1 version is 3.41_2
PKG0 version is unknown
PKG1 version is unknown
ROS0 version is 3.41_2
ROS1 version is 3.50


and after modification using transplante and FlowRebuilder v.4.1.3.2

PRG0 version is unknown
PRG1 version is unknown
PKG0 version is unknown
PKG1 version is unknown
ROS0 version is unknown
ROS1 version is unknown

and i wrote it ( downgrade.bin.rev )
then when i tried to write it again : my NOR chip type: unknown
i checkd the cables , all connected

may be the file i flashed changed the nor type?
is it possible ?????

and what i should do after that ?
connect my downgrade flash and press power eject ?
or connect the usb with files only ?
or the downgrade.bin.rev is corrupted ??????
