I think you made a mistake.
Did you mean:
switch the sixth switch of the E3 Flasher from "LOCK" to "UNLOCK"?

Tnx

Intresting is the fact that nobody mention that you need a USB DONGLE to enter service mode.
Just mention to put lv2 on usb stick, and everybody is trying to use a mass storage stick.

[QUOTE=slhsm;311867]Hey guys. After i bricked my ps3, i am still trying to fix it but i bought a new one. And i tried to downgrade it too. First they are both ps3 120 gb slim cech 21004a with macronix bios, and the e3 flasher was updated with macronix firmware.

1. When i tried to backup the second the ps3, e3 flasher gave the not original ps3 error. Then i updated the e3 flasher with the "samsung firmware", and it backup up successfully, backed up twice, controlled each other, with the methods on ps3devwiki.
Then i was on 4.0, backed up. What i did step by step is:

2.1. copy the "e3_downgrade.bin" file to your MicroSD-Card
2.2. unplug the power cable from the Playstation 3
2.3. put the MicroSD-Card into the E3-Flasher
2.4. set the 6 switch of the E3 Flasher:

2.5. starts the Playstation 3 and let it boots to the XMB
2.6. push the "Start"-Button on the E3-Flasher

*the flash process begins and the 8 LEDs will one by one lights on
*the flash success, when all 8 LEDs blinks.

2.7. unplug the power cable from the Playstation 3
2.8. switch the sixth switch of the E3 Flasher from "UNLOCK" to "LOCK"
2.9. plug in the power cable and turn on the Playstation 3
2.10. If you flashed your PS3 correctly, your PS3 will start and show this message: “Push PS button”. DO NOT PRESS THE PS BUTTON!
2.11. unplug the power cable of the Playstation 3.
2.12. Insert the Downgrade Dongle to the right most USB port on PS3
2.13. plug in the power cable of the Playstation 3.
2.14. starts the Playstation 3 in factory mode: push the "POWER" Button and directly the "EJECT"-Button on the Playstation 3.

*the Playstation 3 check this with 3 times beep

2.15. wait until the Playstation 3 shut automatic off
2.16. unplug the Jailbreak/Downgrade Dongle.
2.17. Copy the files Lv2diag.self and PS3UPDAT.PUP from the downgrade_file.rar package of the folder STEP 1 to the ROOT (not subfolder!) of your USB Mass Storage Device
2.18. Insert the USB Mass Storage Device to the right most USB port on PS3.
2.19. Now turn on your PS3 and leave it alone, the PS3 should turn off by itself in few minutes.
2.20. Unplug your USB Mass Storage Device from the PS3 and put into Your computer.
2.21. Now copy and replace the files on your USB Mass Storage Device with the Lv2diag.self from the STEP 2 folder
2.22. Insert once again to the right most USB port on your PS3
2.23. Turn on your PS3, it should turn off by itself in about ~20 seconds.
2.24. Unplug your USB Mass Storage Device from PS3 and turn on Your console You should see Rogero V2 with 4.00 Spoofer

hi there, great post!

unfortunately the samsung update.bin 10-28-2011
8d1a10f45049b5dc1223d6008ed238dd is gone from e3 flasher. (how surprising)

could some pls upload the update from 10-28-2011?

the link from slhsm on first page is
update.bin 11-22-2011
df814eefe76b0e8546cb7e86b6aefaf7. or does this also have no check and i can use it for multiple downgrade on different consoles?

regards,

Anyone can confirm this method please ?

[aneeshchennai]

Here s what i did
1. 120GB PS3- Used latest update.bin..everything went fine and was a success
2. 160GB PS3 - Got" Not original ps3 for backup during bios backup". Somebody in forums asked me to try samsung update.bin and it worked perfectly.

So, now 2 ps3's were success and i was happy.

3. I am now trying the third ps3 160gb. I have a very unique situation
* WHne i use latest update- I get not original ps3 for backup during BIOS step.
* when i use samsung update - I get past bios backup But get corrupted NOR when checked on pc with nor checker and flow rebuilder.

confused a bit..

On a third PS3 did you update with samsung too? Or you skipped this step?
Did you check E3 connection with main board?

@anees chennai
when you use the latest update.bin you cannot downgrade multiple ps3's. please try older samsung update bin. it doesnt gives any error with different consoles.
