This thread can till
you can recover from CFW upgrade using Progskeet + FSM Dongle

Hi again.. im still stuck on factory/service mode
i cant u the files rogero cfw v3.2 and the normal Lv2diag.self (365.5 KB) 3.55
Provide.. But when i use 4.25 and up its working... i Had OFW 4.25 before

ok can you create a new dump rename this "test 1" and upload this with your origional dump to

dumpcheck @hotmail .co.uk

put
for baileyscream from sjors26 in the subject

then write down the steps that you have done so far.

eg

the downgrade and which guide you followed
the fsm firmware install (if you got this far)
the de-hashing via QA flag (if you got this far)
.........................................................
then the steps you did to un-brick.

just follow the progskeet guide (nor / nand which ever you have)
to downgrade back to 3.55

take your time and get a your dump checked in the dump check thread once you have created a good dump tht you have checked first.

so you tried the files from the guide and it didnt install?
you recived the green flashing light and an error in the txt file?

but when you put rogero 4.30v2 on the usb and installed that in fsm it went on just fine?

you shouldnt get a single message on screen as your in fsm so the screen is blank

so you are in fsm right?

what did you use to activate fsm?

Hey guys I had an idea. I understand it says to solder(I'm not saying for 100% that this works and I DON'T recommend doing it) I was reading some more about flashing/downgrading and I came upon this:

http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=36618

It makes me wonder if instead we could tape instead of solder.... (NO I am buying a soldering gun and I'm going to solder sheesh. Don't have a cow just an idea) Would it work? Or would it work without putting ps3 back together? like put most of everything together like fan etc. just not completely(Less risk of tape tearing or moving)

ALSO I was looking up once again. That E3 linker is kinda old. If you get the "Solderless" kit and need to solder wont you solder this:
e3-forums

Please don't start bashing. this is a ligit question


also wanted to add that I was looking to use my PSP for the dongle. Read up on here that it cant exit FSM on firmware 3.56. this mean can't use PSP?

Ahem. You haven't made any kind of a convincing argument as to why anyone should ever want to do it that way. Look - here is a really big clue already posted by somebody else, which I found at the end of the thread you just directed us to:

Originally Posted by Bigbones87 you can either solder a wire from the sbe point on the e3 ribbon cable to the nor tristate OR you can solder a wire from the nor tristate to a ground point on the ps3 motherboard. they are the same thing. it is just when you solder a wire to the sbe on the ribbon cable you get a switch that keeps it turned on or off. soldering it to a point on the motherboard doesnt give you a switch to turn the ground on or off.

Now applying a little common sense here...

If you don't solder the Tri-State there is no way to maintain that electrical connection on a permanment basis. Only a temporary one. So you're not going to benefit from such PERMANMENT attachment to control SBE through your flasher device. Not just with E3 mentioned there... also the Teensy has a similar connection pin for assuming programmatic control over TriState. This is a very useful feature and for such little effort... Well does that answer your question?

Avoiding that small step (by using tape and not soldering to the Tri-State) only really makes sense if you already knew beforehand that you intend to immediately remove the flasher right after downgrading. "Downgrade Service". I cannot imagine any other logical or sane reason.

Or would it work without putting ps3 back together? like put most of everything together like fan etc. just not completely(Less risk of tape tearing or moving)

And exactly how else were you planning to ensure that the tape doesn't come off during flashing?

Look - if you want to gain a better understanding for what's involved:

It is pretty easy to open / take apart your PS3 to get familiar with its internals and layout way before actually downgrading. You don't have to entirely dissassemble it. But can still get a much better hands-on understanding of how to deal with the major components, yet without going quite so far as removing the heatsink(s) etc.

Dafuq? Are you high man? Look at the statement of mine that you quoted. Now look at the bold part of your statement. Where do I say use tape? I said solder a wire from sbe to nor tristate, or from tristate to ground (simply because they both have the same effect)and remove once they reflash. It is simply telling the user that there is more than one way to skin a cat. Now look at the rest of what you quoted. I also told them why one way was better than the other. Because one gives a switch to control program mode on/off and the other does not and needs to be removed. Also, 90% of users don't keep the flasher installed, so it really wouldn't matter that they don't have it soldered to the e3 flasher for PERMANENT control of the tristate. You are talking about someone who bricked their ps3 trying to downgrade to begin with, not some hot shot programmer that would need that kind of control in the first place. Hince the thread name "ultimate fool proof guide.Either way, you are hijacking this thread for what purpose? To let me know how knowledgable you are and how Unknowledgable I am? Ok, you win. I know nothing of these sorts of things. Now can we give this thread back to the OP? Sorry for the derailment my friend @baileyscream .

Please help I'm having a problem when I do steps correct the device does not work just shines green light no sound No picture.the winskeet give me nothing to flash please help

[rika85]

Hi guys,

I have downgraded my ps3 succesfuly last week. I tried downgrading my brothers ps3 today but I couldn't. I am using the same E3 flasher that downgraded mine so its the second use.

The problem is that when backuping, it gives me 4 files 3 backups and one text. Now I tried restoring whith then individualy and together but no use. I pathed one of them using this guide and other guides. now I checked it and was fine with no probles but it still gives me errors when trying to downgrade the ps3 in the (First 5 swithes down and last up) step.

So please nay help is appreciated. I am doing anything wrong? or is it that I cannot use the same flasher twice? or is it the 3 backups that are faulty? or should I unify the backups to make them one?

Thank you guys

You didn't say that. Of course not. But the other thing you didn't do was take enough time to read and understand the other guy's post. I was using your quote as a good, positive example for what he should be doing instead pal... And it was him who quoted the other thread you were on not me.

Now look at the rest of what you quoted.

Blah blah blah. Same thing here. Most of rest of what you said is pretty irrelevant since you didn't read / too self-absorbed in your own comments. The discussion was about taping the tristate.

You are talking about someone who bricked their ps3 trying to downgrade to begin with

Am I? The guy i was responding to here really didn't mention that. It sounded like he had never even opened up his PS3 before.

not some hot shot programmer that would need that kind of control in the first place...

Well that's YOUR opinion. But like-wise I can think of some pretty compelling reasons why that's an utterly misleading comment though:

1) The skill level required to solder to the flasher device instead of GND is absolutely no different.

2) If you are just a regular noob, you will still benefit heaps from leaving your device connected permanently. Because if you are installing newer CFWs later, there is always a future chance of bricking.

3) If you are a noob and want to use CFW for a while. Great. But some people want to be able to re-flash back to OFW later on. Like if they re-sell their PS3 to someone else. Or to safely get back onto PSN / play games they bought eg BF3, Black Ops 2, etc.

4) Many noobs specifically choose the E3 because it can be permanently installed. Its only the Skeet users who can't leave it attached.

So that's just simply a difference in opinion. Let me take a wild guess - you used a Skeet? Well I didn't.

To let me know how knowledgable you are and how Unknowledgable I am?

Oh no. I thought you sounded pretty darn knowledgeable, that was why I quoted your post. I agreed completely with your comments in it.

Ok, you win.

Didn't win anything pal, except maybe a tiny bit of self-respect. What I really wanted was to help some guy who didn't know any better by teaching him something he didn't already know about these things. Not much of a reason for *****ing about it. You disagree with me? Hey fine. Let's hope you have something else a bit more constructive, or at least technically-oriented to say.

Now can we give this thread back to the OP? Sorry for the derailment my friend @baileyscream .

I'm sorry too. But other people should not be censored simply because they didn't start the thread in question, or because *YOU* happen yo be friends / not friends with them, (or for any other reason actually, other than being against the accepted forum guidelines). Jesus Christ pal.
