Because every ps3 has their own identical key, so it won't work

Ok I have done a few now a couple of questions please

1. Rather than patching NAND/NOR with flow rebuilder can I just use rogero nor dump patcher ??

Would this not eliminate the need to byte revise a dump (if required)

Does it even work on NAND

2. Is extracting a dump necessary if I am confidant my dumps are good

1. Yeah, you can do it, ( don't know about NAND though )
2. If you so sure of it, then you can continue ( it is recommended to extract and check all the files are there or not )

best way to explain:-
place your hands flat on a table
left hand's fingers is top nand
right hand's fingers is bottom nand
now if the info on the nand was wrote / read from left hand's fingers to right hand's fingers then there would be no problem missing out flowrebuilder but it isnt wrote / read like this.

now put your hands together with your fingers inbetween each other.
this is how it writes / reads
left small finger to right small finger etc
so your nand dumps have segments of each other on them.

flowrebuilder puts the segments together and turns them around (the segments all backwards like byte reversing) now the dump can be read and patched
then it can be re-split into 2 dumps (using your origional ones so it knows which chip has what segment etc) using flowrebuilder

short answer you need to use the steps & the patcher is not for nand just nor

btw i still check every dump i do.
its allways best to be safe than sorry
i have had 2 now that had just 1 part different but after a second dump i got every part right.

i could have missed that and bricked

So .. Getting out of fsm above 3.56+ is on its way it seems , so software downgrade coming soon ... But I still want to do the hard way (hardware) .. I don't want to feel loosing 200$

Can I ask Is there any way to boot console with progskeet still attached

So I can test things without having to resolver it If it bricks

You can solder the SBE Tristate or GND or whatever and force the PS3 to stay on if that is what your asking. And did that xkey work on your xbox with the ps3 nand? Im assuming no since your using progskeet

[GopherTee]

So is there still no solder diagram for PS3 and the new ProgSkeet v1.2?

NO SOLDER Diagram ? Still no information on QSB's

If you turn console on with progskeet attached you just get a black screen is there a way to make it boot
