you byte reverse it so you can read it in hxd and do the verify steps
if you open the origional dump in hxd and try to follow the verify steps you will see exacly what i meen go on try it. best way to learn and understand it to try it

so as the dump came off the ps3 un-byte reversed it also has to go back on un-byte reversed.

so on the sd card you want the origional bkpps3.bin and e3_downgrade.bin on the sd card.

[urbananonymous]

and where can i find a guide to do it that way?

do you use the flowrebuilder to patch or rogero's auto patcher?

I use either FlowRebuilder or PS3NORPatcher by tennesse2. Depends on what folder I have open at the time on my messy desktop lol

A happy downgrader reporting in. Would not have probably made it had it not been for your detailed guide bailey's. Not sure where you can brick following your guide - a job nicely done.

Details - CECHE-COK-002, from 4.21. Used Progkseet 1.1 and 110819.

well i bricked... i got rlod.....****!!!!!!!

tottaly all my fault thou.... i was to lazy to put the whole ps3 back together and just put the fan and power brick back on.... if i woulda put it back together i woulda had constant pressure on the chip uinstead of alternating pressure from my fingers...

To be honest, I've never read the whole guide. You have to differentiate between the software and the hardware side. The hardware side (i.e. "The Flasher") doesn't cause bricks. If someone however is not checking his dump properly, he might perma brick his console. But this is a software issue, because a flash of course can have any type of content (might even be a flash of your pc's firmware or whatever).

And you shouldn't take criticism personally, as it's pretty much impossible to make everyone happy...

If you were running on OFW, then norpatch is able to recognize the core_os areas of the dump, which make up 86% of the whole dump. If it successfully verifies you can be sure that at least all data and address lines are connected properly and working properly. And it's easy to use. now do the next step so you know 100% that your dump is valid I DONOT recommend skipping it 2nd step In the “NORway programs” folder find the HxD hex editor install it and then run it. 1 first time opening 2 click file click open 3 select all your dumps and select compare 4 leave the top as it is and change the bottom as you check each dump. 5 you should see this message after each dump has been checked. If you don’t delete all your dumps and try dumping again. If you still get errors at this point check your wiring. When there all the same just have 1 dump open (we will use this all the time now) 6 get a statistics. 7 The fine blue bars are either side are what need checking (the one to the left is highlighted in red put your mouse on the left line and you should get a reading between 18.71% - 29.01% (in the area circled in blue) and the line on the right should be between 10.42% - 10.48% Now close the statistics tab 8 The first thing you should see at offset 00000010 is FACEOFF , DEADBEEF 9 if you see AC OF FF EO , AD DE EF BE then your dumps need byte reversing (see below the next 2 images for byte reverse steps) if you don’t see either then you have a bad dump. Re-do all your wiring and start again 10 you should see at offset 00000200 is IFI 11 if you see FI.I then your dump’s needs byte reversing. again if you don’t see either then you have a bad dump. Re-do all your wiring and start again If you did see FI.I in your dump then you need to use flow rebuilder with the byte reverse option if it says IFI then you can skip this step Byte reverse Byte reverse Inside NORway programs folder find FlowRebuilder run it 1 this is the main screen 2 select byte reverse a dump 3 click the box next to brows, drag & drop, drop down 4 select your dump 5 click execute operation 6 and it’s done it is in the same place as the dump and its added “swap” to the name = flash.swap.bin create a folder called original dumps and put all your flash.bin files in it now rename the flash.swap.bin to flash.bin (this will make it easier to follow the rest of the guide) First find the IDPS/TARGET ID & METLDR and then BOOTLDR (were still using the hex editor) The area to find these depends on your ps3 model 12 IDPS/TARGET ID is at 0002F077 (scroll down to 0002F070 then the top row of numbers is your last digit) CECH-20xx (DYN-001 boards) it should have the value 09 (this is what is in the image) CECH-21xx (SUR-001 boards) it should have the value 0A CECH-25xx (JTP-001 boards) it should have the value 0B CECH-25xx (JSD-001 boards) it should have the value 0B 13 METLDR is at 0000081E & 00000842 CECH-20xx (DYN-001 boards) it should have either one of these value’s E9 20 at 0000081E & 0E 8E at 00000842 “OR” E8 90 at 0000081E & 0E 85 at 00000842 (this is what’s shown in the picture) CECH-21xx (SUR-001 boards) it should have the value E9 20 at 0000081E & 0E 8E at 00000842 CECH-25xx (JTP-001 boards) it should have either one of these value’s E9 20 at 0000081E & 0E 8E at 00000842 “OR” E9 60 at 0000081E & 0E 92 at 00000842 WARNING IF IT HAS THIS F9 20 at 0000081E & 0F 8E at 00000842 STOP NOW YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE THIS PS3 MODEL CECH-25xx (JSD-001 boards) it should have this value E9 20 at 0000081E & 0E 8E at 00000842 WARNING IF IT HAS THIS F9 20 at 0000081E & 0F 8E at 00000842 STOP NOW YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE THIS PS3 MODEL 14 BOOTLDR is at 00FC0002 & 00FC0012 CECH-20xx (DYN-001 boards) it should have either one of these value’s 2F 3B at 00FC0002 & 2F 3B at 00FC0012 “OR” 2F 13 at 00FC0002 & 2F 13 at 00FC0012 (this is what’s shown in the picture) CECH-21xx (SUR-001 boards) it should have the value 2F 4B at 00FC0002 & 2F 4B at 00FC0012 CECH-25xx (JTP-001 boards) it should have either one of these value’s 2F 4B at 00FC0002 & 2F 4B at 00FC0012 “OR” 2F 53 at 00FC0002 & 2F 53 at 00FC0012 WARNING IF IT HAS THIS 2F 5B at 00FC0002 & 2F 5B at 00FC0012 OR 2F FB at 00FC0002 & 2F FB at 00FC0012 STOP NOW YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE THIS PS3 MODEL CECH-25xx (JSD-001 boards) it should have this value 2F 4B at 00FC0002 & 2F 4B at 00FC0012 WARNING IF IT HAS THIS 2F FB at 00FC0002 & 2F FB at 00FC0012 STOP NOW YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE THIS PS3 MODELIf you’re not getting some or none of these then you need to check your wiring and re-dump Ok now we need to take a look and check there are no malformed headers / file names / region names.

It's a four-bus-cycle operation (per word), i.e. it's the slowest, but most compatible programming mode. A full write takes about 9 minutes. Supported by all NOR types. Use this as a last resort if nothing else works. 13 when it is done you will see the same as above (I have kept the red box over the progress so you can see what’s what) check that it has verified the whole flash (in blue box) changes in v0.5 NORway will retry to write a sector up to 20 times (you'll get a message if this happens). i.e.: 1. Retry 2. Retry 3. Retry 4. Retry 5. Retry 6. Retry 7. Retry 8. Retry 9. Retry 10. Retry 11. Retry 12. Retry 13. Retry 14. Retry 15. Retry 16. Retry 17. Retry 18. Retry 19. Retry if it gets to: 20. Retry then you may get a "Verification failed" exception. At the end you might get: "Verification failed! Please repeat command [NORway.py COMx write mydump.bin]! The command is just an example, it's actually substituted with the command you have used for writing so try the writeword command (step 12) If the content on the NOR for one sector is the same as content of your flash file, it'll automatically skip that sector and doesn't write at all (called differential programming). If the content is different, it'll erase that sector one time and tries up to 20 times to write that sector (called incremental programming). The written sector is verified after each write attempt. If the complete writing process is finished, it does a final verification of the entire nor at the end (it happened that written bytes verified correctly, but content wasn't persistent for more than a couple of seconds). If final verification fails, you'll get a message to repeat the programming process. I just released v0.5 final. See first post of NORway thread for updated download links.

Unplug the ps3 from the mains. Wait 10-15 seconds then plug it back in. (the wiki says to do this so the capacitors will discharge but as the ps3 is turned off the capacitors will actually take months to discharge) Turn the ps3 back on then immediately press eject within ~200ms. Your console will turn on and after a moment will turn back off. After triggering Factory Service Mode, go to the folder called “get in fsm” put the contents of that folder into your usb stick and plug it in the PS3's right most USB port (remove the TEENSY++'s usb & put your usb memory stick in its place) Turn PS3 on, it will install the firmware you had put there (even though you have no screen output, you can see it is busy by looking at the activity led off the hard drive and of your USB Mass Storage Device). if you get the flashing green power light then this is due to the firmware not installing. first check your hdd is plugged in properly. this is usually what I forget to do. if it still flashes remove your usb stick put it in your pc and you will see “UPDATER_LOG” as a notepad file upload this to a file share site copy the link and CLICK HERE to enter the chat room. create your nic name press enter then click the green word "#ps3downgrade" to enter the correct room. paste your link with “can someone please check my updater log.

Now remove your usb stick put it in your pc and you will see “UPDATER_LOG” as a notepad file open it & look through it to see if it contains errors (if it does upload the log to your file share account and ask for help online on IRC) (it should say at the bottom “0x83manufacturing updating SUCCESS(0x8002f000)”) Now you need to get the ps3 out of service mode. Open the folder “get out of fsm” delete the 3 files inside your usb stick then copy this file to your usb stick. Put the usb stick back into your ps3 it will boot then the hdd light will flash then turn off. Remove the usb stick.

System Update" to reinstall firmware. If installation finishes without error (there will be no logs you can check!) and boots XMB OK, then dehashing was successful. Congrats, you now finished downgrading and dehashing. Console runs 3.55 and any firmware of choice can be installed, no longer needing to be patched for downgrader. DO NOT DO THE SERVICE MODE WAY AS I AND OTHERS GET RLOD EVERYTIME IT IS DONE Now you should be on 3.55ofw You can now install the 3.55cfw of your choice that’s it simple.

So with this one you dont need to take apart your ps3? and is this for 430 OFW aswell?
