I have installed Downgrade_E3_CFW_3.55.pkg and in additional menu set parameter System_Update_debug_option to ON! Is it enought and same as QA Flag?
Need I to Set This option back to Off and search for QA Flag?
Thanks for your reply!

[haz367]

they stole the original rebug QAflag code and made it there own, it works but always stick to the original tools =original rebug toggle_qa.pkg

anyway, its qa-flagged already now leave it ON and remove/uninstall the PKG, u don't need it anymore

also, one can (urs is lowest 3.50) just after downgrade to rehash syscon use OFW355, no need for 3.50 first

* downgrade with no check fw
* qaflag console
*enable system update debug( also great for later..update firmwares from the PS3 HDD
* reboot into recovery mode
* install OFW3.55
* dump-verify-save dump again
* syscon rehashed
* install the same CFW into recovery mode
* install any firmware from "system update" XMB menu-- from the HDD, its a little faster and great to test/switch CFW

Hi guys, needed some help here.

Thought I could go back to OFW from the rogero 3.55, so I was told to just boot into recovery mode and update to OFW 3.55, now I get the YLOD, any ideas what I should do now? =((((((((((((((((((((((((

EDIT: It updated and I went off to do some homework, then I heard two beeps or something, and the next thing, I came back and flashing red light. Turning it on again, all it got was the yellow light thing. I tried booting without the HDD too, and still yellow light.

My ps3 is still on the e3 flasher, anything I can do? Or is it actually a hardware failure?

ran qa flag before?

if you have backup on 3.55 flash it back to ps3 with sbe nor tristate soldered.

Erm, meaning lowest possible firmware thing?

I have a verified backup of the rogero v2 3.55 is that ok? (I was updating from that cfw to OFW).

So means I have to solder? Or does this work? http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=36618

Last question: after installing 3.55 ofw, need i Set back Parametr "System debug firmware" to OFF?

[haz367]

no, just leave "system debug update" ON, it wont do any harm and easy swithing between eg cobra>rebug>rogero via XMB system update-update via hard disc later on.(no spoofs tho, pls correct me if wrong anybody?)

only when using a spoof on rogero for example, then if u like to switch later on to eg rebug, its best to update first back to OFW3.55.
it wont take OFW via XMB-system update-update via hard disc with a "spoof installed"
then u boot back into recovery
update to OFW3.55
boot into XMB
update to REBUG via system update -- update via hard disc

put the firmwares for this to work in this order on the PS3 hdd0\updater\

create folders in the updater(create it) folder, name them in order:
01\KMEAW.PUP
02\ROGEROv3.1.PUP
03\REBUG.PUP
04\COBRA.PUP
etc

do not forget a folder tho (01,02,03,05,06 = error)

Yeah I thought so just wanted to eliminate all chances! I've tried so many things but I think its time to give up. Will probably try and buy a 120GB PS3 to ensure that it is downgradable and sell this one off (maybe keep the 320GB HDD )

Thank you playerkp420!!

That will probably work.

But I would recommend soldering. Just to be sure you have a good connection.

After that I just follow the e3 flasher manual correct?

Also, after flashing, I should be in rogero v2 cfw correct (the bios is from that)? Or is it the OFW 3.55? if it's in the cfw, how do I go about getting back to OFW firmware?

Do I need to QA Flag? (I was told it was unnecessary) [Something about a syscon check thing because I downgraded from 4.11 Demo firmware with the e3, not sure it applies since I bricked my ps3 after going 4.11 demo->rogero 3.55 v2 -> OFW 3.55 (via recovery mode and then it bricked) and now trying to restore]
