I think the NAND that was flashes isnt the original , When i Use another bkpps3.bin that i download from web i can still the console ON but without Boot_OS and withou Video, it complicated when lose the original NAND file. Any one make the downgrade without the original NAND file???

Have you tried checking your recycle bin for the backup files?
Does it beep 3x before switching off?

It worked on my friends console he had same issues. Depending on your brick type may effect differently for everyone, Ultimately I believe it should work for most. In the process of re-flashing your bios I will provide my own customized BKPPS3 bios I made, this alone will not fix your issues but help get passes your error codes and continue with my unbrick solution. For this to work you must have a good bios backup without errors that your created from your console. Update* I just read a post to put the switches uddudd and i did that and my ps3 is now on in ps3 mode! BUT now audio or video, i tried continuing your steps to *fix* this brick, i used my bkpps3.bin and text file but i just got the 01000000 error again. My ps3 is in ps3 mode all switches down, its on.. i dont want to brick it any more then i have with out some sort of support... so any thoughts? PS I am not responsible for any issue that could arose. But whats the worst it can happen? Brick some more? http://www.mediafire.com/?b6l1bcz80o49h39 Ok now download this and flash it to your console, once its done shut off ps3 and unplug it, move all switches on E3 on PS3 mode 1-6 down and turn on ps3. Turn on ps3, your PS3 should start but no video/audio or HDD activity if so continue next step. Remove your SD card from TF and delete all files on it, put your working backed up bios AND E3 flasher text document and load it on SD card to TF board. Have the number one switch up and rest is down to reflash your ps3 so 100000 and push start. Finish that and LEAVE PS3 ON DO NOT TURN OFF AFTER REFLASH YOUR OWN BIOS. Remove your SD CARD and put e3_Downgrade.bin file with your working BIOS and put it on. Push reset button 3 time before and after you change the switch settings to 000001. Push start and downgrade bin should be installing. This may be confusing I am sorry having hard time explaining this so bare with me thanks. I am trying to help everyone From there follow my other guide I posted and should be good.

First off, Thank you Pro.Hacker for trying to help the many people who have destroyed there ps3, you are a hero. I had my e3 installed backed up my 3.73 ofw downgraded, realized my 50g hd was to small for my liking and decided to put a larger 500g hd in my sata station. i had to reinstall the fw but i used the wrong one, i used cobra usb cfw causing my PS3 to beep 3x and shut off with a flashing red light. I never backed up after my successful downgrade, fail on my part. I downloaded your bkpps.bin and tried to flash. i get an error code 01000000 (i think thats how you read the E3 lights, first light off, second one on, rest off) im stuck now.. how did u mod your bkpps file? maybe i can look at yours and mine and mod one for myself? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey how are you? I'll try to help best I can, from what I know usually when your ps3 audio and/or video doesn't work during a boot, Means 2 things one you installed the wrong bios or incorrect one. Other corrupt bios but mostly if it was corrupt your ps3 would shut it self off as a automated safety protocol.

Problem is when you said you flashed one of your backup from which fw is that from? What was your last know FW before brick?

Also I believe error code 01000000 is unable to read sd card. Try to reformat it to fat 32 and try again. Other question can you access Recovery menu at all? If not then you need to try to reinstall 3.55 rogero cfw again obviously.

Hi everyone, I have one PS3 Slim Motherboard DYN-001 with SBE TO PA0 NOR TRISTATE point. I try the manual of E3 Team "Repair Method if console is bricked.
1 FlashFUN ON
2,3,4,5,6 OFF

But my problem is I need the correct BIOS, i don't have backups of my BIOS because I don't used NOR Flasher to dump BIOS, there's another solution to my case ?

My BIOS corrupter on flash FW CFW 3.55 wk, actual state of my PS3 is Power ON, Green, Yellow, 3 Beeps and red light blinking.

I Think my NOR TRISTATE is working because when I activate the FLASH FUN, the PS3 keep ON.

If someone expert level can give one help, thank you a lot.

Yes go to page 3 or 4 and follow my second guide I posted.
and you should be good.

[maiquelrinco]

Thx Pro Hack, but I don't have backups of my PS3 BIOS, as my PS3 has YLOD by cfw 3.55 wk I can't boot using PS3MODE, just using FUN FLASH mode who uses TRISTATE to Keep PS3 ON, so could you post again your solution for this problem ?

Thx alot

No need to remove it Load backup files to Micro SD and insert Turn on console U-D-D-D-D-D Press START on E3 If fails to initialize, try U-D-D-U-D-D to load from OB Flash (worked for me) Just some findings that may come in useful to someone else

Hi, I have the same issue, but when I try U D D U DD, gave me :

start logging...
program PS3 BIOS.
fail to initialize PS3 BIOS.

I supose the TRISTATE is good because it's keep on my PS3 when in FUN FLASH MODE, what can be this error ?

[maiquelrinco]

now i have dump my ps3 flash bios, but i think this is invalid because dump checker told me this, how can i correct it to flash, because when i try to reflash what i dump, gives error 10001111.

bUT WHEN I check the bios integrity using the NOR dump checker i get the following error :

"
Warning :

The E3 Dump is either corrupted or it isnt in the expected format

Please check your HW setup before to continue"
