I received a PS3 for free that has no BR drive in it. It's currently on 3.55 but stuck in an update loop that requires 3.56 or later since it never finalized due to there being no BR drive in it.

Is there any BDB cfw that I could flash so I can get this thing going again to remarry drives and save the console?

not that i know there's only one for 3.55 atm i think.

i remember a thread where someone when he was at the agreement screen chose 'no' and he was then back to 3.55, but since you allready installed a part of the firmware i guess this would be a no go.

but i'm not an expert so maybe someone else have an idea.

You do not need to remarry drives in order to kick out of the boot loop. If you have a spare drive hook it up to get you out of the loop (no it doesn't have to be married) This will get you out of the update loop but you will be unable to marry another drive seeing as the update attempting to flash itself is 3.56 Still you will not be able to play any disc based game and if you remove the spare drive all of your PSN titles will just black screen. I would tuck it away somewhere and hope that one day there is a higher firmware hack available

Sucks that you have to finish installing 3.56 with all the advancements in the scene. 3.55 is the place to be but it is too late for you to think about that now.

BDB need OFW 3.55, how to install CFW 3.55 BDB from the Recovery Menu. In addition, there may be problems with the integration of multimedia (black screen, the suspension of the console, then only it can be switched off and on), will also be problems running games that require a disc in the drive.
Here you have a list and it will tell you that the game comes with a board and without and what disk http://www.pshomebrew.net/wiki/PS3_B...atibility_List ... ility_List (of course, sometimes it does not match)
