Hi,can anyone tell me where in NOR.bin check min firmware version?I know there was some where information about previous firmware and the current firmware.I have Slim with broken HDD and I'm stuck on 3.56 .I can't do anything right now,I can't install any firmware because it shows me the error 8002f147

You can not install anything with a broken HDD. Is that the error you are getting or is it 8002f157? That would be the 3.56 bug, and then your post would make more sense?

If not. Just replace the HDD. You need to replace it to install any firmware.

minver firm isn't in the nordump..u have to take ur model and verify the bootldr offsets/values to see wich it is from the metldr/bootldr table and then u know 99% the minimum firmware version capable of running" on that ps3..

for the ROS0/1 firmware versions(old/installed)
u can check many ways..
extract the nordump with flowrebuilder, go into each ROS folder and open the "sdk_version" with notepad to verify the firmwares that was installed/is installed

offsets can vary depends on ofw/cfw dump, normally they are at (the ros0/1 versions)

001004D0 ROS0 version offset
008004D0 ROS1 version offset

not at those offsets, just search for "txt" -- SCE -- firmversion = at the 5th one..

NOR Firmware OFFSETS (COREOS)

ROS0 offset
000C0000

ROS1 offset
007C0000

Error is 8002f147 not 8002f157.What it means?Install proces stop on 18% and after 60s install again.PS3 model CECH-2504B Data code 1A.

Thank you so much.I have check in ROS0 and ROS1 and both show me 3.56.That means the min firmware is 3.56?Can U tell me now how install E3 4.30 if i don't original HDD?

Cause: At this point the update is verifying and unpacking files from the .pup, then updating files on the NAND (and HDD for newer consoles with NOR flash). In 9/10 cases any failures at this point are due to a corrupt update file which happens pretty easily if it has been downloaded over a poor wireless network or poor connection in general. Otherwise in rare cases there could be a write failure to flash which I have NEVER witnessed.
Fixes:Download the latest update version and prep a USB stick into FAT32. It maybe a good idea to double check the MD5 of the file to be certain it is a 1:1 copy once downloaded. Place the update named 'PS3UPDAT.PUP' on the USB device inside the correct folders (for example: F:\PS3\UPDATE). Anywhere else and the PS3 will not see the file. Swap out the current hard drive in the PS3 for a spare one, it doesn't have to be formatted or anything like that as the PS3 will do it for you. Now you will have to turn the console on but instead of booting it normally, put it into recovery mode. For anyone who doesn't know how to do that: hold the power button until the console turns on then off again, take your finger off and hold it down again so the console turns on again then wait for it to beep twice in quick succession before removing your finger. The console should then ask for you to connect a controller via cable and press the PS button. Once in recovery mode put your USB stick in any port and then choose the 'System Update' option. It will format, prepare and hopefully install the update without any further error.

What update are you trying to install?

no, it tells u the firmware previous installed and installed atm.. for the minverchk u cant rely on these...although it seems never been <3.56 going by the ROS folder, to make sure its minverchk 3.56 go to the wiki and verify the "bootloader" offsets for its values, compare with ur dump and whats coming out? then check the last tab "low ver chk" on the right

for the 4.30 guide..checkout playerkp420's guide

and a youtube vid..give it a shot >
http://www.youtuberepeater.com/watch...E+and+8002F147

This is a better way for those with broken ribbon clips and cant get past the update loop,
Step 1- Format ps3 hdd to NTFS (this should fix 8002f147 just put hdd back in ps3 nothing more)
2.Continue if 8002f14e and 3.55 or lower format usb to fat32 and create ps3/update folders with PS3UPDAT.PUP inside
3. put usb and HDD in ps3 and start up using sequence in video then choose update and continue

not tested..

Well E3 4.30 is not gonna work. Unless you flash 3 musk. patched dump. Are you using a flasher?

If you are, patch with 3 musketeers. Then install Rogero 4.30.

You can check your min. firmware in your nor dump with nor inspector. It will check that stuff that haz9 posted. As long as your min. version is 3.56 or lower, it will work.

Yes,I use E3 flasher and 3 musketeers but i flash this bin in normal mode.Did I need use Flash Fun mode?
