sorry to hear about your brick. You could have easily avoided it had you installed rogero 4.3 v2.03 from recovery. The good news is it can be recovered with a flasher if you have one.

what is console minimum firmware? Head over to tortuga cove there is a tutorial over there for recovering from rogero 4.21 cfw brick. Flasher needed.

i think the ps3 will only install firmware from a disc if it is higher then the one that you are trying to install, i always have ridge racer in.

what if he was qa flaged and it went lower than his factory fw . then it would brick


@tanimr2002 was your ps3 qa flaged

if it was v1.0 rogero cfw 4.21 that is the most probable cause. But you have nothing to fear if you have a flasher as there is a clear tutorial on how to recover over at tortuga cove.

It was qa flagged .the minimum stock firmware 3.15 and i was trying to update 4.21 regero version 1.ok i got the tutorial but certain things are not clear.i need to rewrite the flush dump right?i backed up my dump when i converted my console cex / dex.is that dump going to work?

you need to make 3 fresh dumps with your flasher, you dont need an original you need to make 3 now
Requirements are:
1- a Hardware Flasher so you can read/write to the PS3 NOR flash
2- A Dongle with PSgrade payload (any old jailbreak dongle + PSGrade hex will do) used to Enter Factory Service Mode (FSM)
3- Rogero CEX3.55 v3.7 PUP



Recovery Procedure :
1- Dump the current NOR Flash of the bricked PS3 at least 3 times using a hardware flasher (Progskeet / E3 / TEENSY++)
2- Verify that it is properly dumped and you have a valid dump ready to be patched with the downgrade patches.
3- Patch the dump using Rogero PS3 NOR Auto Patcher or any other Program available.
3- Flash the Patched Dump back into the PS3 NOR using the Hardware flasher.
4- From this point you can continue as a normal Downgrade Procedure by entering Factory Service Mode using the dongle and Flashing Rogero CEX-3.55 v3.7 from the USB stick.
Do you have a flasher??
