HI! i just flashed my patched bkpps3 (using rogero auto dump-patcher) and what i got is black screen, no hdd or usb activity. strange thing is that if I flash original bkpps3 still nothing. ive tried flashing with flash fun and with all switches down. tried sbe-tristate, tried having e3 on hdd. only thing left is flashing with 3 muskeetiers patch and e3 downgrade. my dump is verified and downgraded before ps3 succesfully but this is one strange thing, never happened before.
@baileyscream @playerkp420 @Bigbones87 any help?

Validate your dump. Reseat the clip, or check soldering an flash valid dump.

is validatet, reseatet the clip still nothing.
also your inbox is full @playerkp420

Flash your valid dump. Then make a backup. Compare the 2 dumps with HxD. If they don't match, clip is not seated properly.

ok @playerkp420

If you get advice from playerkp420 or baileyscream, don't listen to me because they are way more knowledgable than I but....Sounds like it isn't writing to the nor completely or properly. Try this, try to flash the original bios back with the hdd off, in flash fun mode. Once it is done, then leave the ps3 on, and put flash fun down, and flash the original bios again, then, turn it off. Then turn on the hdd, and turn on the ps3. If it still doesn't work, then try to reflash original bios now with the hdd on the same way, flash fun first then no flash fun after. I have had this issue before, and I just kept messing with it by flashing it in flash fun then flashing it without flash fun without shutting down inbetween. I can't remember 100%, but I think this is how I got it back to original anyway.

sometimes the doubble flash helps as you can sometimes get stubborn sectors.

the TEENSY tries to write each section 10+ times i think judges told me. if it fails the prev try.

the progskeet will check and tell you if any sections didnt write so you can re-write again.

but for some reason the E3 just says it has wrote when sometimes it doesnt.

so the way you did it finaly made sections hold the new infomation.

i hope that makes sense

@baileyscream Yeah, but here is the thing, I could always get it back up and running normal, but no matter what I tried, when I flashed patched bios, it would boot up to the plug in controller screen, and would not for any reason enter fsm. The fsm dongle I have works great on the other 50+ consoles I have downgraded, but for some reason I could not downgrade this particular console. Me and playerkp420 thought it might be the USB ports on this console since they are detachable on this model, so I bought a new USB board.....still no luck. Then I wiggled the ribbon that feeds the USB board while it was turned on, and the console shut off ylod. Now....ylod. I know,I know.....stupid of me to do this, but it was one of my consoles and just irratated me to no end. I must have blown a trace or something by shorting the USB ribbon cable.

@playerkp420 @baileyscream every time i try to get a backup they all are very bad. strange thing is that if i try to to flash the original dump or a patched one the process is very quickly. my e3 flasher and clip are in good condition because just flashed 2 slim ps3 yesterday.

So you flashed your VALID dump and then made a backup? And they did not match?

This means the clip is not seated properly. Reseat the clip. Use something on top of the clip to keep constant pressure.

I guarantee, this is your problem.

EDIT - Also, clean the nor legs, and the clips pins, with 99% isopropyl alcohol.
