dont know what the hell is wrong.ore what to try next..



opdate:
i know used another bitstream to flash the nands back and no error now and now i can get it into service mode and out but i cant get it to read the pup file

what bitstream did you dump with and what bitstream did you flash with?
also what console & board do you have

the fsm downgrade

put everything from inside the get in fsm folder onto your usb stick.

if you have then try:-
full formating the usb stick then try again
try a different usb stick. not all work. only 1 out of my 5 usb sticks work in fsm (its a 512mb stick) so if you have another one try it

Hi im new to the forums and i never cared to hack my system until a friend done theirs and now i see the cool factor. I have the current 4.31 version not by choice some games forced me to upgrade.. anyway I have a few questions about which downgrader to use.

I have a decent electronics background but after reading most topics and watching videos I am not sure which one is for me. From what i see the E3 flasher is the simplest to use but will it work for my 4.31 and also I have not found any where, on taking it out and replacing the HD in its place. Another question would be the NOD is it easily removed and reusable.

I really like the PROGSKEET but they are sold out, I have no problem with soldering, but I would like your thoughts on which system would be the better of your choices.

another question is it may be more cost effective for me to use a service

thanks and sorry for being a noob on this subject.

You need to find out Ur model number as e3 only does nor.

consol CECHG04
board sem-001

bitstream for reading ProgSkeet_12_121018_0031
bitstream for writhing ProgSkeet_12_121101_1223 tryed reading and writhing whit this one and its the same result.

already tryed 5 diferent usb sticks formated new.they are all been used for service mode before and opdating consol whit.so i know they work.when im in service mode and whit the diag and pup file the ps3 keps turned on but dosent read the pup.if i go out of service mode the ps3 can turn on and then just goes out by it self,no blinking red just steady red like when its powered down.mayby i need to bye som more usb stiks

if i flash the top to bottom nand and bottom to top then the consol cant do anythig right? but if i can get in and out of service mode then i cant have made anything rong ther right? becourse if i try to flash them this way then the 668 error comes op.

in your guide you say that on boards whit 1 nand on bouth sides the cpu is bottom.but not in flowrebuilder then it cant extract the files.i have to switch them around to get it to make the files like in your guide.maby i have to switch them back again when making the patched files i realy dont know.

i have made another consol before.same model but my progskeet sayd the chip was like in your guide and on this consol it says its a samsung ECF1009540.. on the other i used this to read and writh ProgSkeet_12_121018_0031 and all was fine..

every thing works fine when i flash stock nands back so my dump must be okay


maby my patch files are somthing wrong whit them as i have to switch them around in flowrebuilder.if i send you all the files can you then tjæk them som how to see if they are okay ore isent that needed as i can go in and out of service mode.. cant remember how i did whit the other consol i made.damm it

I have exactly the same problem.
console: CECHG04
board: sem-001
flash chips: ECF1009540
After dumping my flash (Rogero CFW 4.21, bricked), checking it, patching it and writing it back, I get the RLOD.
I also had to switch the dumps from the two flash chips, so for me, contrary to baileyscream's guide:
TOP = CPU, GPU side
BOTTOM = other side

PS: I have sent my dump for checking, but nobody has responded yet

I will be waiting for someone to check my dump, let's hope it's not too late... Anyway, before trying to upgrade to Rogero CFW 4.21, I made a backup of my 3.55 Kmeaw flash with multiman. Nevertheless, this 3.55 Kmeaw dump lacks the bootloader (it has something to do with the Hypervisor masking it when in CoreOS). Is there something that I can do to flash back my original 3.55 Kmeaw dump? Perhaps fill this 3.55 Kmeaw dump with the bootloader data from the Rogero 4.21 CFW flash dump?

This is what I am trying to do now. Any suggestions?

try the latest (NAND only comfirmed working) one ProgSkeet 1.2 Bitstream [121106.2121]
from HERE

before you update the bistream flash your checked dump back to the ps3 and check it boots / works propperly.

now you need to update to the new bitstream and do freash dumps to make sure its working correctly.
when you merge the two dumps together with flow rebuilder do a compare against your known good dump to check its the same.


and the top bottom nands.
if you dump the two nands and call one of them DUMP A and the other DUMP B (remember which is which nand) then select one as top the other as bottom in flow rebuilder and if its the wrong way round then it will tell you.

let me know which is top and bottom when you have done this and i will add this into my guide.

@Sarah1331 did tell me about this and told me which was which on different boards but i just cannot find that post to add it in.
so my own fault. sorry to everyone that has had a problem here due to this

do as i have told jensen above

[arloubas]

Can my problem be due to the fact that when I dumped my bricked console (Rogero CFW 4.21), FlowRebuilder reported that one of my NANDs has one bad block?
