is there any way to patch out the fatal system halt completely, even the hardware is damaged? i mean remove the whole error routine and not only fooling it with that basic_plugins patch. as far as i understand, it only removes the branching to the source

i have found some text about fatal_error2 and system halt in lv0 about corrupt nor. i am no reverse engineer, so this goes around my head, but if somebody else could do this?

...%s: NOR is corrupted, data %04x, expect %04x, addr %llx, data_num %d....%s: write to buffer was aborted.. data 0x%04x, expect 0x%04x....data verify failed...... data: 0x%x.....rom address: 0x%x.......%s: NOR is corrupted....ERROR: program...Halt system due to fatal error (2)

and another question, how do you guys open prx modules in ida and reverse it? i only get "there is nothing to disassemble" message. are there any ida plugins i am missing?

No need to replace the chip "unless" it comes back. At this point I'm leaving it how it is.

I've got CFW running with no issues now. RSOD has not returned.

Yeah. I would hold off on replacing the nor. Replacing a nor is no easy feat either, so it would most likely be worth it to just replace the console and sell it for parts if it comes down to that.

I know right. I pretty sure what caused the RROD was writing the cfw back. The chip is loose on the nor and I had to hold constant pressure the whole time. Either way like I said it's working now. So I'm leaving it.


And yes doing a nor or nand transplant is not worth the trouble or time.
