Nice! I didn't know about that guide , thanks!

As a constructive comment, some of the pictures are kinda blurry, but overall is a pretty good guide.

I will consider getting the hardware (progkeet, injectus, etc..) if I can't find a motherboard replacement for my CECHE01, I bricked my PS3 returning from DEX to CEX. Basically, the flashing went ok with JaiCrab Preloader Advance, and I was back in CEX / FSM (non bricked), the problem was using the Lv2diag.self to exit FSM, apparently I had to install a CEX FW before exiting FSM.

I have a question regarding this, I will appreciate any info:

I have a good CEX NAND flash dump (256mb) made with JaiCrab Preloader Advance, is it possible to use that dump with Progskeet, and flash it back?

Thanks in advance for any information.

SeeYa!

@CaptainCPS-X

I seen someone else, that wanted to do the same. His problem was trying to figure out how to take the 256mb dump and Re-scramble then de-interleave it into two new flashes.

Not sure if he figured it out. The thread is here.

i am getting messed about with NAND ps3's.
i have "won" 2 now on e-bay and neither have turned up.
as there both in desputes so i have to wait to get my money back then i can buy a third NAND ps3 to do the guide.

i havent looked into the CEX-DEX & DEX-CEX much so i'm not sure but i would assume you checked the dump and its good? if thats the case you should be-able to use flowrebuilder to split the dump into 2 then re-flash the only problem you will have is which dump half goes on which NAND.
although once you attach the progskeet you can make a dump of how it is. (for just in case) then try flashing the slit dump one way. try it. if no joy then try flashing the other way around.
but thats just me assuming.
see if the thread playerkp420 can shed more light on a fix.

[playerkp420]

The problem is there is no option in flowrebuilder to simply just split the unified dump into 2.
The only option is "Re-scramble modified dump then de-interleave it into two new flashes."
For that option you already need 2 132mb dumps.

I think though if you make dumps of the nands how it is now.
Then choose those dumps for flash0 and flash1, and select the 256mb dump you have already. I would think it would make a dump0.patch.bin and a dump1.patch.bin.
Then you can flash those to the nands.

But I am not sure. Should probable ask @zaphod in that thread I linked, if he figured it out.

My PS3 is unbricked by using a progskeet.

will get it back next week (hope on wednesday) also get the 2 flash-files from the progskeet dump.. i can test the procedure than but not the flashing at all...

i read so much about the YLOD we have produced and trying to figure out the main problem.. .
atm i think:
- dont use preloader for flashing (.. in ps3devwiki stated out as "bad idea" see here http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Talk:Cex2Dex)

- use MM in the latest version (0722) for dumping Flash and flashing back (deank said it could flash also NANDs, the size doesnt matter cause it only flashes the dex-part which is changed from the flash) see the tut on ps3crunch....
the link http://www.ps3crunch.net/forum/threa...5668#post45668

- use FSM only if u must (and use the right Lv2diag files) also mentioned on ps3devwiki... see http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Downg...ice_Mode_SELFs

it was de-interleave i was thinking about. but as i'm wrong it doesnt matter lol.
and thanks for the above i understand better now.
i will really have to have a look at the CEX-DEX etc after i finnish this guide and give it a go (if something can go wrong then it will for me ) then i will have a better understanding of it.

glad you have it unbricked. i take it you sent it off to someone to solve it.

could you add links to your reply so others can find what your refering to easly .

thanks

and again its great your ps3 is back from the dead

@baileyscream

updated my reply with the links :-)

yes sent it to a guy with a progskeet cause i dont have one..
wanna buy a used nor-slim and a E3 for "playing" around..

thanks for the links (do you have one to the ps3crunch post that you mentioned?) just to keep ppl happy lol

and i wish you had told me last week as i would have bit your hand off to get it. as it is my money is tied up in desputes (see a few posts back) so i carn't
you can allways advertise it in the buy and sell section. there will be someone wanting it just as bad

[zaphod]

@baileyscream
inserted the link to deank tutorial..

i dont wanna install linux only for getting the key.. there are faster methods like the one from naehrwert or others with using some crypto-libs..(dont know exacty...read it in the wiki i think)

ähm.. think you missunderstood me.. i dont wanna sell my NAND.. never ever..

i hope you get you money back for the 2 dead ps3 you have buyed...

[CaptainCPS-X]

Thanks guys for all the feedback! I appreciate all the information

@zaphod check your PM inbox.

SeeYa!
