First off I'm using a Limited E3 Flasher on a 3.73 Fat PS3 (CECHH). I've successfully installed the clip and taken 3 lots of backup files which all seemed to finish fine. The filesize is correct and I've used the E3 Dump validity checker which said it was valid (could be false positive) and I've been following the guide here: http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Validating_flash_dumps and I don't think much is wrong?

I'm completely inexperienced and would like a second opinion of the file before I go bricking my family's ps3.

Thanks so much for the help. I've already confirmed that this file is identical to the other 9 backup files.

Also can someone enlighten me on exactly what the restore process is achieving? Am I able to skip this process and go on to the Downgrade_E3.bin step. I'm not seeing the process in this guide: http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=33989
It is however in the official guide from the creators.

Are these NOR backups I'm trying to verify needed on my SD card when the Downgrade_E3.bin is being used? I'm not sure.

Cheers. Download link below:

dump looks good. you can skip the restore process. just put e3downgrade.bin on sd card and downgrade 000001

Thanks for the quick help guys. I've been lurking here for a while so now that I've made an account I can hopefully help out around the forums as well.

I'll get back to this thread with the results of my downgrade

Report back.

All right I put the backup and the e3_downgrade.bin in the sd card and followed everything as per instruction.
All 5 switches are down with the 6th up (unlock)
The process completes just fine in about 8 mins sitting in the home menu and I power down via the XMB menu.

My problem is whenever I turn the ps3 back on, it does not show up with that "Connect a controller with a USB cable" screen. My ps3 is just booting up like normal.

I've attached a screenshot of the files in my SD card in-case there is something wrong.

Any ideas? Does this happen often? Can't think of anything I did wrong? Do I have to have all NOR backups in the SD card?

Sorry but what do you mean by 000001? Haven't seen that written anywhere.

down switch = 0 , up switch = 1

mmk that cool, that's what I've been doing.

I'll remove the backups from the SD card and try the file on it's own. Would it make much of a difference?

I'll get back to you with the results
