Hopefully, I will be able to make the DEX-to-CEX guide once and for all LOL. Btw, I don't make the guide now, because I don't wanna make assumptions of any procedure, I wanna make sure by trying it myself first, so I don't lead anyone to a brick.

Hello CaptainCPS-X,

Currently I am trying to figure out a way to switch from DEX to CEX easily and vice versa. I have been reading through the NOR guide. Where latest mmCM allows you switch from DEX to CEX or CEX to DEX.

I really wonder if that method works for NAND PS3.

Before I converted my PS3 to DEX, I have made a backup using the backup utility. Now that I am in Rogero 3.55 DEX, the backup utility is not present in the XMB.

I am really looking forward a way to switch to DEX to CEX. So that I could install Rebug 3.55.2. Than I could restore my backups. And switch to CEX to DEX.

Thanks. Looking forward to your switching guide!

rename METLDR to metldr and try again on linux with it from STEP 8 number 19 .. remeber to add the new renamed file metldr to metldrpwn

Ok the Flash has been created sucessfuly but rflash.bin size is of 16Mb (16 777 216 bytes)
Is it okay ?

m8 what did it say when you created the rflash.bin did it say succesfull? make sure here double check mine kept coming out wrong the size of mine is 262.144kb

Nuff said . Please delete this message

dont trust the size the windows-explorer shows...

rght klick on the file than options and look at the size in byte...

should be exactly looking like this: 256 MB (268.435.456 Bytes)

thats the size which is pointed out in the HowTo....

@ zaphod:

would you like to have a view over my metldrpwned dumps i post here an tell me if they look ok ?

could i use the preloader dumps i use to prepere these metldrpwned dumps for progskeet.


thanx in advance

dont have a progskeet... theory says yes cause preloader dumps the complete NAND like a hardware flasher (dont bother the shadowed code from hv i think.. see ps3devwiki for details)

your files seems to be to small.. still downloading them.. wait 10 min...

/edit
flash NAND seems ok, size fits the bytes i have checked (see devwiki what you can check manually) also fits..

but its up to you to have the balls to flash it
dont blame me if you bricked.... i hope you will not..
/edit off

Finaly I have managed to transform my PS3 into DEX. I'm on 4.11 DEX. MGS HD work great from external HDD. I used PS3Gen to transfer game on HDD.
