Hi there

Ive gotten myself hold of a E3 flasher.
Getting it attached to the nor chip was a pain, as I always got the famous 10001100 error whilst backing up.
Anyhow, I managed to clip it tight enough, tho, when I do the validation steps, I keep struggling with the same thing. (http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Validating_flash_dumps)

It says the amount of FF's should be +10%, but I never get it higher then 1% strangely enough..
Is this a clip problem, do I need to try and update the e3, ..

Thanks

Thomas

Heres an example of a dump: http://www.sendspace.com/file/mc4fst

You are getting closer to having the clip on good. Since it is making a dump and not giving an error.

But the dump is not valid. So the clip is still not on good enough.

Use something to put constant pressure on the clip. Like foam, coins, or cardboard.

You should also modify the clip, so it fits without hitting the transistors that are in the way.

Read through this thread for ideas. Especially at page 2, where I posted pics of how I modified my clip.

@Godrax just update the e3 flasher with 01.05.2012 update and send it to dumpchecking @hotmail .co.uk

Hi @playerkp420

I will try that indeed, I took a picture of my mobo's NOR chip (DIA-001), you see 2 little transistors on the right side, personally i dont think they are the problem, what do you think?

@ortis123 thanks ill try that too, Im still on the latest 2011 update

@Godrax

It may be. I know after modifying my clip, I usually get valid dumps first try. On all models. Including that one.

When you press the clip down, look to see the clip is flush with the mobo. I bet there is a gap on the side with the transistors.

Updating the flasher, shouldn't matter on getting a valid dump. I have my flasher updated with the Samsung 10.28.2011 update.bin. Because it allows for multiple consoles.
That update also is compatible with all nor chips. So a newer update.bin is not the problem.

The 'transistors' you refer to are actually capacitors btw...

Saves confusion in the future.

Good to know. I thought the capacitors are the big round things. Thought those little square things were either transistors or resistors.

I learn something new everyday.

yes but it will allow it to get 3 dumps in order to compare because he has a different problem not like the rests. i once got a ps3 with 18.25% 00's (pm you about it) no matter how times i made a back up of it. i needed it fast so i took the guts and flash it. everything went ok

hey guys, I modified the clip and it fits tighter on the mobo, altho now it gives me the 10001100 error agian
I guess ill have to keep trying, tried everything, with coins etc, maybe I need to clean the pins on the clip?

^ Good idea.

These clips are really, truly awful... especially because they NEED to be RELIABLE!
