Yeap. we do pay hard. The feeling is just un-describable. I am sure you know what I mean.
NAND PS3 are the best PS3 but they also fragile like glass!

I don't think there is someone with a hardware-flasher(If you ment ProgSkeet) in my country. Very hard to find one. After much self thoughts, I feel is not cost effective (Shipment included) to order ProgSkeet + NAND clip.

If I could find a 3.55 NOR Fat PS3 or PS3 Silm (CECH-25XX), I will get it.

Thanks. =)

Danny G, if your hd in your old laptop works, you could take it out and put it on another laptop to retrieve your files. See if you could borrow a friend or relative's laptop or if you have another laptop you could swap hd's. Also you could get a external hd and swap the hd in the external with the one in your laptop. My flash.cex.norbin size is 16MB. Good luck!

Flash your CEX.EID0.NORBIN in multiman CEX 3. Exit Multiman. 4. Now this is the important part. Do not reboot or turn off ps3 with remote, you will brick it. Do a system update by going into recovery mode, (Turn off Playstation; hold the power button down; the system will turn on and turn off once again, once the system has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps; when you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button; you will be promted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button; the Recovery menu will pop up; choose system update.) Update your PS3 by using Rogero 3.55CEX CFW v3.4 ( this CEX fw have LV1 syscon checks patched to avoid Bricking ). 5. Done, your back to CEX firmware. If you want you could install your favorite CFW after Rogero 3.55 CEX CFW v3.4. I'm not responsible for any bricks this may cause. I'm just sharing what I did to convert my ps3 back to CEX from DEX. Good luck!

Hey Danny.

I had your same problem! Did you read this thread! Please do not commit the same mistake! But you did.

Were your on FSM when you try to update? If yes? You can try this steps.

I can't guaranty that it will work.
@zaphod might able to give you additional advice.

On the computer
1. Format USB PEN and put lv2diag.self file 1 (http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Downg...her#PUP_to_use), the one that is green, also put PS3UPDAT.PUP in the root of the PEN (the 2 files must be in the root of the USB PEN)

On the PS3
Skipped Step 1 - 6 Just turn off PS3
7. Put the USB Pen with the 2 files inside in the right usb port
8. Power on the PS3. If all went well you shall see the ps3 reading stuff in the usb pen, and the hard drive of ps3 working, wait for the console to power off.
9. Remove the USB PEN (you will have an UPDATER_LOG.TXT in the Pen with the details)
10. Power on the PS3
11. At this point you can check if the console boot up and its inside factory mode (red square box in the bottom left of the screen)
12. Power off the PS3

On the computer
13. All you need now is to get out of Factory Mode, so put lv2diag.self file 2 in a FAT32 blank USB Pen

On the PS3
14. Put the USB Pen in the right port with the file already on it
15. Power on (the console will power off automatically)
16. Power again and should be ok

I am so glad that you have recovered your PS3!
Now to think about it, I was not as smart as you in the moment when I had RSOD. I panicked and I did not think clearly. Oh well, we learn from hard lessons!

Just stay in DEX for now.
