This was directly made clear by @deank on another thread. Based on my research when I made the guide these PS3 tools make 239 MB flash dumps: - memdump v0.01 - mmCM / multiMAN - Linux (but that dump is not valid for CEX2DEX / Gunner54 application for some reason) So please don't try forcing things with multiMAN, it may end up in a brick. Wait until I or someone who actually confirmed the process to go from DEX to CEX. For now, just stay on DEX (there is no reason to be impatient in going to CEX, DEX has been patched to do many things already) SeeYa!

Thanks CaptainCPS-X for your reply and explanations. I tried once yesterday and the latest mM does not take FULL CEX NAND dumps JaiCrab Preloader Advance v3.1. Actually it does not do anything. I just rebooted my console and everything was just normal in DEX. So I plan to just stay in DEX until new method arrives.

I'll be looking into this at a later time because right now I'm not willing to brick my only hacked PS3 to figure it out (gotta repair my other two DEX to CEX bricks.....). beside I was sure to make a dump with a few tools before I was informed that the preloader could dump the entire nand.

Actually speaking of removing the bootloader, I got a message from @deank mentioning the same thing.

Otherwise you can 'convert' it yourself, by removing 16MB from the start of the NAND dump (you'll have to have the IDPS/EID0 section at 0x40800, which in your dump is currently at 0x80800). So remove 0x40000(HEX) / 262144(DEC) bytes from the start of your dump and try with c2d/mM.

As you have said it, it might risky as it may cause a brick. I guess we have to wait till next week when @deank updates his mM that will accept 256MB full NAND dumps.

Thank you.

OFF topic:
My question that I'm on DEX and I connected my external HDD go to DEBUG settings ... Format BD emulator HDD ... and after this when I plugged in my PC it did'nt detected. What could be the problem?

If I am not wrong, BD emulator HDD will format your HDD in Sony's proprietary format (SPUFS or "Synergistic Processing Unit File System). Windows can't read them.

You should visit this thread.

Hmmm then i said that i tried to write on my HDD which is formated by the PS3 with ps3gen tool, but this program cannot detected my HDD so i cannot write games on it.

Looking for some help, on step 9, part 5,
when i try to find renamed "dump" file(which i renamed in part 2) with cex2dex, the file does not show up, it is definate on the usb, but cex2dex can not locate it, any help woud be great, on last part and would like to get it done, step 9 is below for ref.
cheers for help.




STEP 9 ::
PATCHING CEX FLASH DUMP TO DEX
1- Connect the USB Storage Device to your PC
2- Navigate to your USB Storage Device and rename "dump_eid0.bin" to "dump".
3- Run CEX2DEX located in "CEX2DEX_BY_GUNNER54" directory.
4- Click the top "..." button and select "Backuprflash.bin" and click "Open".
5- Click the second "..." button and select "dump" and click "Open".
6- Click "CEX2 -> DEX" button.
7- Save the resulting file to your USB Storage Device as "rflash.bin"

I kinda figured thats why it would not work but I'm sure deank will get his tool updated in no time at all.

I had this problem too, in the search bar that comes up when you press the tab for the dump, type the first few letters and it will show up.

Hey, i´m cex2dexxin right now, but the backuprflash.bin won´t show up on my USB Stick...
(And yes I´ve activated to show hidden folders)

EDIT:
OKforget that post, I´m just dumb and cannot read ;P

Edit 2:
Is it ok that the Backuprflash.bin is just 205mb?!
