It works!!! woohoo!!!! after over a year with a black brick, its alive again :D so glad I horde everything now ;p just one question - having installed Kmeaw it seems to get to 43% (As it used to with the rsod) and then reboots into xmb. How can I tell kmeaw installed successfully and its not just failing and rebooting to thenotheros version of 3.55? thanks

If you have a cfw installed. You will see the package installer.

Thanks for the reply. The OTHEROS version of 3.55 has that package installer as its used to install the pkg fix. I have another ps3 with kmeaw 3.55 and the otheros xmb has all the same categories and options


Update: Downgraded to 3.41 cfw again and its all working fine at the moment :D currently updating to 3.55 kmeaw

im on 3.56 RSOD for like 3 years now, is there any way of downgrading through recovery back to 3.55 (while being on RSOD) so i can try this fix out ? cuz im assuming that this Fix is only for 3.55 users under the RSOD...

much appreciated to those who can help...

Hope to see this developed further so it might work with higher firmwares. Great work!

then you have a hardware problem and this can't be fixed by the pkg unless you solve that first

Hi,

First of all, thanks to all the dev. that made this PUP and PKG.

Tutorial:

1º - Enter in recovery mode and put the pup file in a FAT32 USB in the directory x:\PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP

2º - Make the update.

3º - Put in a usb stick the pkg file.

4º - In the XMB install the PKG.

5º - Run the PKG ( the ps3 will make a beep and returns to the XMB.)

5º - Thats it. All ok.

After you can install CFW or OFW, if you get another RSOD make the process again.

Tip. Only works with 3.55

Best regards.

Thanks for the rep "jhax78" ...so that sucks for me then, well so far there are positive feed backs from some victims of the RSOD... i just hope a new release comes out for firmwares above 3.55 (SOON) waited for a long ass time but at least progress can be seen, at any rate congrats to the PS3 owners who revived their units! ! ! great job to the devs! keep on keepin on!!!!

This is amazing, after 1 year of seeing this red screen and keeping my fat ps3 on the closet, im following this tutorial and for the first time, and in a very emotional moment, i did not see the red screen of death after installing the NORSOD patched PUP.

edit: after installing rsodfix.gnpdrm.pkg and running the rsodfix in XMB, did another recovery mode and installed Kmeaw.

I want to thank all the devs and Ps3 community and the people in the Wiki for actually fixing something that sony should have done in the first place, and not making the customer ship and pay for a tech support like sony did. This is a truly amazing day for many people around the world that bought a sony product, a CHECHL PS3 console and had this nasty RSOD problem, making many customers upset all around the world left with a brick in the closet, just like me.


thanks 1 trillion times
