Okay.

I have been trying NORway_04beta12 Is that the version of NORway you are using?

[CrackMyDay]

Yes. The last one.

Thanks and great work. I was wondering when you were going to pop up with this. Going to give this a go.

hello, huge noob when it comes to the methods of this program. anyways

i read you need to turn the ps3 on. my main reason for wanting to wire a teensy up is to unbrick my ps3 (bad ps3mfw apparently, all per console stuff should be intact and recoverable). my ps3 only powers on for like 4 seconds and shuts off, will this work for my situation? if so how? thanks.

also i've read the 3.3v regulator gets really hot, is this still the case?

If you put your USB cable and power your ps3 the firmware is not loaded and you can recover it.
If you have previously backup your nand/nor if you haven't , I don't no how teensy can help you.

You're first sentence made me think it would work, then your next sentence really threw me off.

I dont currently have a backup. the teensy wont power the ps3's nor?

Using my method, without 3.3V regulator, NOR will only be powered by PC if memory is a Samsung QB.
If its other model of memory, dump wont be correct if still trying to use the procedure for Samsung QB(with PS3 "turned OFF"). I didnt test if the fault is because theres no 3.3V in NOR or there are some other thing not powered up(circuits pretty different). Thats why there are two different procedures depending on memory model in my tutorial.

You could still try to supply power with a 3.3V regulator in Teensy. If you touch a IC(i dont remember the name) near NOR you will see it turns really hot, so regulator supply power for more than just NOR, increasing the current needed and so, the dissipated heat on the regulator.

would you consider it to be safe for the 45 second dump time (will do multiple dumps to compare of course), turn it off, do patches to the image to make the console boot, then turn it on again with the ~8 minutes write time? then after that just take the regulator off as i wouldn't need it anymore and just do any subsequent reading and writing whilst the ps3 is on?

has anyone unbricked with a teensy? and by unbricked, i mean your console boots to a blank screen and turns off after ~5 seconds.

That's exactly what the tristate line is good for. Simply connect Teensy as described in NORway's readme. Your console will "hang" after you turn it on and won't turn off automatically. If you then have troubles dumping/writing or a Samsung QB you might want to consider CrackMyDay's approach.

OHHH okay, i didn't realize the tristate made the console hang.

i feel stupid..

I have a spansion (just checked) so i should be alright.

okay, thanks for the clarification. and thank you for developing this great program! hopefully it will save my ps3 once i get my teensy!

EDIT: one little thing

when you say "- Power off your PS3 (disconnect Teensy if PS3 doesn't boot when restarted)"

do you mean desolder the teensy from the ps3 or just disconnect the usb? im really hoping its the latter. lol
