I sent it with my gmail account so idk if it went through or not.

I am currently trying what playerkp420 said to do and try the downgrade process. He said if I do the downgrade process then after it is done I turn off my PS3 and turn it back on and Factory Service mode should show up even though my PS3 is currently only a black screen. So hopefully this works.

You have to make sure Your Dump is valid.
i suggest do not flash anything back until you make sure your dump is valid

Ok well i sent it to this dumpcheck @ hotmail .co.uk using my gmail account. I will attempt to send it again. I do believe that I already tried doing Flash Fun twice and it successfully had all 8 led lights go up one by one. playerpk420 told me to download that e3downgrade.bin file and put it in my E3 Card Reader(Upgrader). So what I want to figgure out is how to enter into factory service mode using this file somehow. I have my E3 Card Reader in the right USB port of my PS3 Slim and on the file that he told me to download it had a .txt file saying to

1: copy latest e3downgrade.bin into e3 upgrade disk
2: use e3 card normal jailbreak way, after enter ps3, remove E3 card. and reset
system.
3: then you will enter factory MODE, now you can downgrade.

I just don't understand how to get to do the normal jailbreak way. What switches need to be up on the TF cover board when doing this ect.... I am sorry i am not a pro at this but all I want to do is understand a easy task then learn how to teach others with this after I have learned from my own mistakes.

Yes this dump(bkpps3.bin) is what i used for Flash Fun mode. After I did Flash Fun Mode and set my PS3 back to PS3 mode on the TF cover board my PS3 is currently still a Black Screen. I am trying to do what playerpk420 said to do. He sent me a file that has a text file saying this on it:

E3downgrade Tutorials to factory mode:

1: copy latest e3downgrade.bin into e3 upgrade disk
2: use e3 card normal jailbreak way, after enter ps3, remove E3 card. and reset
system.
3: then you will enter factory MODE, now you can downgrade.


Following is downgrade Tutorials :

1: go here to download file to downgrade to 3.41 :
http://www.sendspace.com/file/qlfoyi

2: Program any blank usb with 2 files , A) modified 3.41 pup B) Lv2Diag.self (file 1) These must be the only files
on the usb key and must be placed in the main directory of the flash drive.

3: Insert this new Flash drive into the right USB PORT of your console ( It must be placed in the outermost right port) and turn the console on. You will see black screen but you will see flashing lights on the console (yellow) and on your USB key

4: Wait 3 minutes for the system to install the old FW, towards the end the power button on the console will start flashing green and then your console will power off.

5: Remove the usb key and turn on the console , you will still be in factory service mode. Please verify you have downgraded successfully to version 3.41

6: (Optional) - If you wish to downgrade to any older firmware you can not follow step 4,5,6 using any regular firmware PUP. (You do not need to use modified custom firmware now that you are on 3.41)


following is quit factory mode Tutorials :

1 : Insert flash drive back into PC , remove the PUP and Lv2Diag.self and install only LV2Diag.self (file 2) on the USB Flash Drive

2 : Power on your console, after 10 seconds it will power off

3 : Turn on your console with no USB inserted and you will be out of factory service mode into retail mode with your chosen firmware version installed.

As of right now I have my E3 Card Reader(Upgrader)/USB stick with the e3downgrad.bin file that came with the download on my Card Reader in my PS3 right now. It is in the USB port closest to the Blue Ray Drive and I don't know what to do from there. Can you tell me what to do next or what switches need to be flipped up to do this next step. (I am on Part 2 from the top of the instructions)

flash back your original Dump and see if the PS3 works normally,
after flash in Fun mode did you remove the wire and see if the Ps3 do not turn off,
after flashing your original Dump, back it it up again and see the two dumps matches, this is to make sure the clip is seated correctly on the NOR

I know that my E3 ribbon is sitting perfectly on my NOR because it has been working well even before the brick. I also know that my Soldering from the Tristate to the SBE point on the E3 Flash ribbon works as well because whenever I start the PS3 it has me stuck in limbo with the Green Light of Death. The only thing I see not working is my Esata tryin to boot my HDD. I think that I am doing everything correctly it is just I need to figgure out how to get into Factory Service Mode. Can you please explain further why I can't get to factory service mode.

My PS3 is stuck at a black screen when I turn on the power of the PS3, I have to hold the power button to turn off the PS3. I see nothing but a black screen and my TF cover board works perfectly. If you want me to do the part about flashing back my dump please tell me how because oviously I am a noob at all of this and I am going to need some serious help if you want me to understand what you want me to do. Thanks.

I didn't tell you to do that? I gave you the link to make your e3 card reader work as a FSM dongle.

Also gave you the link to ps3devwiki for the e3 debricking guide.

After you flash your patched dump, like in the guide I linked, you should see the connect controller screen. Of course after flashing you need to put all switches down, and reboot the ps3.

Ok I put the e3downgrade.bin file on my E3 Card Reader disk then I put the unlock switch up and pressed Start. When I did the second led light turned on within a few seconds and just constantly started blinking so I decided to stop the process. Can I do the downgrade process from my Micro SD card instead or have the Micro SD card in the E3 Card Reader to do the downgrade process.

I have an idea.

How about you just do any random thing, you can think of.

I am done helping.

Good luck.
