I'm sorry for not not specifying that I'm a total Noob when it comes to this. I'm very computer literate and tech savy but when it comes to this...Noob! As far as the steps go, I only verified dump by following the guide. Let me give you the highlights. I was good following the guide up until finishing downgrade in FSM. Once this was done is where the problems began. First, I was getting the screen where

I installed the first set of files but PS3 cut off (probably from overheating). When I tried to continue...nothing. I have since, changed the thermal paste and here we are now with 3 beeps and blinking red lights.

ok i have been going over the guide and i think i have a solution.
but i think i need to re-write some of it with your help.


can you re-do the following steps:-

in the tab (installing the downgrade patch)do the(one-key downgrade) step

then

(Finishing the downgrade in service mode) step

once you do this part of the above step:-

click here

After triggering Factory Service Mode, go to the folder called “service mode files” & in there is a folder called “service mode 3.55 downgrade files” put the contents of that folder into your usb stick and plug it in the PS3's right most USB port (remove the dev usb & put your usb memory stick in its place)
(the files are rogero cfw v3.2 and the normal Lv2diag.self (365.5 KB) 3.55 get in FSM )

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 of the hard drive and of your USB Mass Storage Device).

then swap hdd's and re-do the above again.
once the second hdd is done then get out of service mode.

swap hdd's again (so ofw hdd is in the ps3)

and now do the de-hashing step (check your not still QA flagged by doing the button presses. you shouldnt be but better safe than sorry)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

now at this point you should be able to boot as normal with the switch set as ofw and cfw (the fast dual boot should be turned off now)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
let me know when you get here.
or if you have probs getting this done.

your ps3 is now in a panic / brick
you need to solder the tristate to sbe on E3 linker or solder tristate on ps3 to a gnd on ps3

set flash fun on e3

this will then halt the ps3 and stop it shutting off.

now re-do the guide from (installing the downgrade patch)

when you have finnished that step then remove the tristate to gnd or turn flash fun off if tristate is soldered to sbe on the E3

ps3 should boot to connect controller screen. turn off ps3 and do the downgrade in fsm step.

good luck


@Sarah1331 like button not thanks button poor lad is confused enough without looking for a button that isnt there

@baileyscream

In regards to this: your ps3 is now in a panic / brick
you need to solder the tristate to sbe on E3 linker or solder tristate on ps3 to a gnd on ps3


I don't know anything about soldering. I'm using the flasher with the nor clip (nothing to solder). Is there any other workaround or am I screwed? Also I did not have to use the linker at all.

So, if I have not misunderstood, I should do this:
1) HD1 (switch 000000) I repeat step (installing the downgrade patch) with (one-key downgrade) and then (Finishing the downgrade in service mode) step
2) enter the FSM and install the firmware. PS3 will turn itself back off When it has finished installing the cfw on HD1
3) swap with HD1 HD2, turn on ps3 and repeat 2) .... I'm still in FSM .... so I install cfw on HD2. once the second hdd is done , get out of service mode and ps3 turn off again.
4) swap again with HD1 HD2 (i have two HD with cwf installed above.) Or i can continued with HD2....and i turn on ps3 (switch 000000)
5) with the HD1 do the de-hashing step to install the ofw first 3:55 and then any cfw.
6) at this point i be able to boot as normal with the switch Set as ofw (000000) and CFW (010000)...
and now i have fast dualboot with HD1 (ofw) and HD2 (CFW) ?
if the steps above are correct, there is no need (dual boot process) step, (install the cfw to the normal chip) and step (1 key fast swap) step ....?

hi everybody i have a ps3 250 GB slim and its in RSOD i dont know exactly why because its belong to my little brother and he is gonna killing me for helping him,i tryed to update it from 3.55 to higher FW to pass the RSOD i used the OFW 4.21 but i fail or system fails during update its going near 49% but quickly its going to 100% and still in RSOD.now i want to know if i want to use his psp as a dongle to go in FSM mode and use lv2diag.self is there any need for downgrade it to 3.55 before doing this action?and if i want go to FSM mode all i need is to install the ps3jig on my psp and conect it to ps3 and run the program and after plug the power cable on ps3 quickly push the power button and eject button?please help me if you can thank you

When you go into the recovery menu, does it ask for 4.21 or later? If it does do not put it in FSM, because you will not be able to downgrade that way, or even exit FSM.

I am sure it does ask for 4.21. Because it is normal for the update to go slow until around half way. Then it goes real fast. because it is doing checks, and if the checks pass it quickly finishes and reboots.

So, to downgrade you will need a hardware flasher.

Disappointing, since you were on 3.55. You could have done this here.

ok so i have been on for 5 days and i still haven't managed to get a decent dump. the clip does not sit on the spansion chip tightly and I have tried all different methods of applying pressure. i have sanded down the clip i have tried with pads on top and also coins on top. but i get the same error every time 10001100. I have tried this on a dia 001 board and 2 jtp slim boards. same error every time. I did get 1 good dump from the phat dia board but it would not byte reverse using flowrebuilder, so i tried reseating the clip and now it's back to the same old story of the dreaded 10001100 error code. grrr........ Looks like i'm gonna have to either buy a new clip or try my hand at soldering. Unless anybody here can suggest something i maybe missing.
