Well as the title says, Ive been following the Ultimate Fool Proof Guide: Ps3 Hardware Downgrading in the E3 section as a guide.

I'm to the part where you place the original DUMP file and the E3downgrade file on the SD card. Everything works fine, the lights go up one at a time, and I get the little text file with a lot of OKs

I then turn the ps3 on, but I don't get the Connect a controller screen, it just boots normally into the XMB.

I tried the alternate way of doing it the FlowRebuilder patching & flashing, but that didn't work either. same results.

Any ideas anyone?

Well I was thinking about it, does anyone have another E3downgrade file I can use, maybe the one I have is not right?

You do not even need the E3Downgradw file in the first place.

take your dump and patch it with Rogero Nor Patcher V0.1 and flash it back

That worked like a charm! Thanks. Well of course nothing is working like the walkthru so Now I'm at the insert your controller screen.

I turn off the PS3 Using the power switch on the back, I wait awhile, then turn it on and hit the eject right after. I have the Dev board plugged in the right USB spot. Well nothing happens, it just loads the connect a controller screen again.

From what I read the PS3 should turn off, but it doesn't. I read it should turn off in a few seconds.

I remember from before something about holding the power button waiting to hear 2 beeps then pressing eject or something like that? Is that something I need to find again to get my specific model into FSM?

What are you using to get into fsm?

[ai3643]

A PS3key........

[seanbomb1]

Stupid question but have you flashed the service mode file?

[ai3643]

Yeah I put the bkpps3.bin file and the e3downgrade on my microsd and ran the e3 till it flashed. then turned off the ps3 and now im at the controller step

[seanbomb1]

okay, so now put the flasher in the right usb port, turn on the ps3 and tap the eject a few times. then should switch off.

[ai3643]

ok gonna give that a try.

I don't need to add any files to the PS3key do I? I checked on the PC and it has files on it already
