I told you make sure Qa flag is toggled on.

You never dehashed. So you semi bricked from installing OFW 3.55.

You will need to solder a wire from the sbe on the e3 ribbon to the nor tristate.
Did you make a backup while you were on rogero v3.7? If you did, after soldering the wire, put switch 1 up and the rest down. Then flash your backup to the console. After it is done flashing reboot PS3 and it should be unbricked and on Rogero v3.7. Then continue the guide from the spoiler Qa Flag.
If you didn't make a backup while on 3.55. You will have to flash your patched bios, and continue the guide from the connect controller screen.

Ok, i see.
There are no guide on how to do that restore? I know how to solder and i think i have a clue on how to do it. But a guide would be great. And a last question, are there just to take away the solder from the motherboard when done? because i'm not using esata station.
thanks

There are many guides on how to restore your PS3 from a brick. I just gave you a mini guide.
Here if you have a 3.55 backup. Here if you only have the original backup before downgrading.

You can remove the wire after. The wire is only needed to keep the PS3 on, so you can flash the chip.

An alternate wire you could solder, is nor tristate to ground point. This will keep the ps3 on, so you can flash the nor. Then after the flash is done, you need to remove the wire to boot the ps3 normal.

Look here for your motherboard with the nor tristate and ground (vss) points lableled.

Just want to make sure i do it right this time. I'm going to solder a wire from the "e3 linker" SBE dot. to the Nor tristate on my motherboard.

But then i'm a little unsure how i shall connect my e3 flasher.? Shall i just keep the e3 linker to the motherboard(not connected to the e3flasher). and then just take the e3 flasher to the nor chip?
Then keep going to do a regular flash first up, rest down?

I've been trying to look at different threads and checked in this guide you linked, but i can't find much.

And the last question. Am i going to use the original bkpps3.bin or the patched one?

Thanks alot for all of your answers.

Sorry, I assumed you were using the solderless clip.

You have the e3 linker soldered already? Didn't you already solder sbe to nor tristate? If not solder a wire from the sbe on the linker to nor tristate on the mobo.
Then to keep your ps3 on for flashing, put the first switch up Flash fun mode. The rest down.

I just discovered that there were a sbe on the linker cable too. Thought that was only on the linker. just a missunderstanding

The sbe is on the clip that goes on the nor chip in your ps3 the sbe is located on the cable running from the clip to the e3 flasher it will say sbe on the ribbon cable

I just have one more question. I've had problems with the 10001100 problem. (the e3 clip connection) I reassembled the ps3 30~ times before i got it to work. So now when I'm going to do the flashfun, shall i do it right away before i know if the clip is attached right. Or am i going to get a dump as i did in the tutorial and check if it's valid?
If i take 1-5 down and the 6 up. and try to get a dump before i take the flashfun?

Hi again. will just say that it went well. I soldered the wire and right after patched with flashfun, i used my patched bkpps3.bin. Now when i start my ps3 it's on 3.55.
I don't really know where I am in the guide or where i shall continue from. Because i expected to get the "connect the controllerscreen" and continue to fsm.
Thanks
really don't want to solder again, because i'm not very good at it. And i don't want to make any simple misstakes that might brick my ps.
