In a moment of stupidty I formatted the USB flash I used to convert to Dex. All my files are gone including the 16mg original cex flash and that other eidroot key file.

Is there a way to go back to cex? Or am I stuck in dex forever?

I'm pretty sure you can redump everything on dex and run it through the newest cex2dex to recover the cex flash

yeah, you will stuck on DEX forever no flasher or OFW .PUP can help you. unless you wanna do a research,like: flash your console using other's console's CEX flash if it brick you can try flsahing them with Progskeet and see what the result, if you're lucky you'll be back at CEX if not you surely on DEX forever. but I hope some day the Devs will find a way to fix this...just lets hope. fix me I'm wrong

Not true. The latest c2d_v2 can convert your dex flash back to cex. I'm 99% sure of it.

Is there a tortioual to use the latest c2d_v2

@AmD92 No you are not stuck in dex forever...

But since you lost everything the recovery is a "lenghty" process
First you'll need to redump your eid root key... in dex that is only possible if you use LV2Loader from rebug to load a retail kernel for your version (or linux).

After that dump the flash using memdump and change the TargetID to the one you previously had and follow a dex2cex tutorial...

@AmD92 I just foud it:
1- convert to itskamel dex 3.55, install FactoryServiceModeV2.pkg
2- Copy rogero FW v3.4 and lv2diag.self to the root of a usb and connect it to the most right usb door on your PS3
3- Start FSM. it will beep and return to xmb. then start FSM again and let it do its job
4- After all done, PS3 will turn off, remove usb, delete files, but rename lv2diag_exit.self to lv2diag.self.
5- Connect again to ps3, and turn on PS3, it will turn on and off in 4/5 seconds.
6- Remove usb, and turn on PS3, it will now turn on normally, and you'll be on a partially DEX/CEX CFW ROGERO v3.4
7- Now install multiman 4.03, only on that works on it, and install eid_rkdumper.pkg
8- Start dumper, ps3 will beep and reboot.
9- Go to multiman, and get your file at dev_hdd0/tmp and copy it to a usb
10- Do what you need to convert your dex to cex nand/nor, im still trying to do it, since Windows 8 dont let me do it.
11- Put itskamel 3.55 dex on usb, and go back to it, using system update on XMB.
12- Install 4.06 multiman on it, and flash it with your converted to CEX nand/nor.
13- Exit to XMB, turn off on power button, and then turn on again on power button.
14- Update with any cex fw on system update, and voila, back on CEX.
