Hi all

Whenever I use my e3 flasher, I don't get any errors and all the text files come up ok (program or backup)

So how can it be that each time I backup the dump and compare md5, it's different. Again, no errors, but md5 is always different.

How can I get no errors, but different md5s every time? Just seems to bizarre.

ANy thoughts? Thanks

First, use sha1. Second, clip mounting issue. Check that your clip is on secure.

OK, so now I've successfully dumped 3 times, the same md5 as the original, patched bkpps3 I flashed to the ps3. So that's good. But...

I had originally intended to use this machine as dualboot. But, long story short, I got too frustrated with the clip, and trying to put it all back together without it moving wasn't working for me. I also soldered the E3 Linker, and all the connections were good, but I couldn't get the case back together with all the wires. I didn't want the guts all exposed to the kids using the ps3 a lot... So, I decided just to downgrade it in the end.

But, because I wanted it as a dual boot originally, I scratched out the printed board between the 2 points as I was supposed to. Now, I'm only doing downgrade, do I need to reconnect those 2 points together, or can I just leave it? I'm hoping I can just leave it, cos the pad at point A is totally gone. Can't stick any solder to it. Any suggestions here?
