Hello everyone.

I don't know if this is already known or not, but since i only see alot of people everywere asking for help, from a brick, of a bad downgrade, or a mistake when returning from dex to cex, i'm posting this small finding by me, so i hope it can help alot of you.

I've done this on a 60GB PS3 with NAND, it my also work on NOR PS3.

What i've done? I was trying to go back on CEX, when by mistake, after flashing the nand, i turned it off on power button. Doing this, gives you a small brick. So i decided to test a way that i found to install a partiall "cex/dex" FW, if i can cal that, that was downgrading using CFW rogero v3.4 (v3.7 also works). So, i connected my jailbreak pen in downgrade mode, to prepare the PS3 for downgrade. Ps3 will turn off. Now swap it with a normal usb pen, with rogero cfw v3.4 or v3.7 and FILE1 lv2diag.self on the root of it. Connect it to the most right usb door, and press power button, let the ps3 do its job, when you see ps3 is turned off, remove usb, delete all files on it, and swap FILE1 with FILE2 lv2diag.self, also known as lv2diag_exit.self. Connect it again to the same usb door. Turn PS3 on power button, it will flash and turn off automaticly. Then, remove USB, and power on PS3, it will now be out of a brick.

This may also work downgrading from OFW 3.70 to OFW 3.55, but im still testing this.
I will also try if may also work on other higher FW like 4.21.

PS: I'm not responsible for any wrong move from any user using this finding. I'm just trying to help people who have a bricked PS3, that has nothing to lose on testing this. Feel free to make questions, i'll try to answer if i know.

Don't Forget to get some feedback.

Regards

yeah it has been said before that u can get out of a brick ,when u go from dex 3.55 to cex 3.55 via the the old downgrade dongle . but i dought it will work on 3.56+ dex or dex because the lv files are blocked on 3.56+ as they are signed with 3.55 keys , anyway good luck in your research . but one thing if u havent hardware flasher then dont even try to start going in to service mode on fw 3.56+. other wize if your research goes no where and your stuck on 3.56+ service mode

dont be sorry , it wasnt put as news m8 , it was just said in one of dex threads , so it would be hard to find and probley like u wouldnt never of see it. untill now people will see it as u put it as news and doing your own research . as i said good luck in your research and keep up dated on your findings . the more that do researching on the ps3 the better . which is better than people just sitting on there arse doing nothink while waiting for other people to do all the work .
