Hi Guys new to this whole posting thing so sorry if I have posted in the wrong section or am covering already covered posts...
Basically I have got myself a tb2 dongle, downloaded the custom fw checked the pup and tried installing.
I accept the conditions and get through to the point where the ps3 resets but then it tells me a higher version of the fw is already installed.
Any help would be appreciated, my system settings show 3.55, I dont believe the dongle fw was installed as I am assuming it may say 3.55 - DONGLE....
Thanks in advance, John

hmm just install the OFW 3.55 again and then try to install the TB firmware ? maybe this helps...have you tried it @ the service menue or from system - settings ?

ah one second maybe you have a spoof version installed that trick the ps that it thinks it is on fw 3.73 for example....

Thanks, Mcmrc1, I thought that maybe a spoofing cfw may have been the case, I tried installing through the normal menu.
Have not yet explored the service menu so will look into that now, may also try installing official 3.55 over kmeaw and see if that helps.
Cheers

You should try Rebug CFW 355 TB Edition .If installing anything for that TB. I would rather go with team Rebug CFW any day ..Good luck

if yo have a spoofed version you must deinstall the spoof first before you can install a 3.55 firmware again

Just wannna say thanks for the quick help guys, googled how to uninstall the spoof, am I guessing right that I need the 3.60 spoof installer to uninstall? Just checked the rebug site and the only seem to have a 3.61 installer... would this work ro do I continue the hunt for the 3.60? thanks Again

sorry i don´t know but i read that the 3.61 v 1.1 have caused blackscreens !!!! so i would try to install spoof 4.0 and then install it after that deinstall but no warranty !!! maybe wait for other replies sry

Funny you should mention that Mcmrc1... just uninstalled the spoof (3.60) and oh no black screen... lucky for me my power button and eject button are intermittent too... off to the ps3 doctor me thinks...

Hey mcmrc1, should have mentioned I read your post but did it anyway, should be all good once i get the butons fixed and put it in recovery mode, unfortunately my mate thought it was funny to use my ps3 as a toilet while drunk one night and pissed on it... now the buttons only work every so often so no recovery mode for me... thanks for your help mate good to see people helping each other even though they don't know em at all!
