I was following this guide http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=39766 and when I put the micro SD with the e3_downgrade.bin (including my dump), had been a power failure and the PS3 turned off. I tried to turn it on but after 5 seconds the ps3 turns of by itself... I don't know what to do. I have a validate dump but how can I unbrick my console?

i don't know the complete procedure but if you solder a wire between tristate and ground the ps3 will stay on and you can flash your dump into the nor.

look up the tristate point for your board

[nick64]

And then i will continue from where i have been or everything has to be done from beggining?
Is there any tutorial?

Try this from step 6 http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=50088

[nick64]

"1. Find a pic of your motherboard here. Solder a wire from nor tristate on motherboard to SBE on e3 ribbon cable. This will keep your PS3 on with the first switch up on the flasher. Or you can solder a wire from nor tristate to a GND point on the motherboard. Both will halt the nor and keep the PS3 on for flashing"

So I have to solder before go to step 6 right?
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
Before I try to solder the flasher with the mobo, i tried to patch the dump with the Rogero's Nor dump patcher. When I drag my dump to PS3_Nor_Dump_Auto_Patcher_v0.01.exe I get an error. Why?

[haz367]

it patches a valid one and a corrupt one like they are the same..so that isn't the case incase the dump was bad causing the error


what error ur getting..it's easier for people to help

and here a working PS3 Nor Dump Patcher v0.01
http://rghost.net/43114640

maybe put in a shorter "path"
drop bkpps3.bin into "PS3 Nor Dump Patcher v0.01" folder and hit the patcher
the rar is complete and fully working and ur dump is validated so it must be the "path" or something...

Same thing. Yes I know it's complete. But I can't understand why is doing this.

What Operating System are you using? It works great on Windows 7 64 bit, is what I use.
Pm me your nor dump, and I'll patch it for you.
