(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); okay, so I had a major problem this morning !!
My 3.41 ps3 YLODed !!!
managed to get it running again by reflowing CPU/GPU but scared it might happen again..
So i started trying some stuff :p
From my 3.41 i data transferred 6 different patches to my other ps3 (which is on 3.50)
detail: I transfered them to 6 different HDD :p
now I can change patch just by replacing HDD

now this may not be interesting to people who actually HAVE a 3.41, but imagine this:
your friend has 3.41 ps3, you don't..
you take your ps3 over to his place with 3 or 4 HDD, transfer some patches to the HDDs & once you get home, just swap HDD to change patch

I'm doing this right now & even though data transfer doesn't take that long, this is a LOT faster :p

maybe this helps, maybe it doesn't, but at least I tried


EDIT:
just to stop the spamming (got like a million messages about something that's EXPLAINED on this forum, but thought i'd just add it here..)

TUTORIAL:
---------------

needed:
- 2 x PS3 (3.41 & 3.50)
- converted patches for PS3: download You must login or register to view this content.
- Ethernet cable (straight or cross) ==> THIS IS AN ORDINARY INTERNETCABLE, FOR THE NOOBS AMONG YOU !
- on your(/the) 3.41 you need the FTP server installed (read You must login or register to view this content. to configure it)

what do you do:
- use filezilla to upload a modded patch to your 3.41 PS3
- use data transfer utility to transfer the data on your 3.41 system to the 3.50 ps3
- swap the HDD in the 3.50 system, put in another one & format (you will need 3.50 update on usb drive to do this! download 3.50 You must login or register to view this content.)
- repeat steps 1 - 3 for every patch/HDD you have & start swapping

if any questions, post HERE & don't pm me, as other might be able to answer questions better than me

I already knew this, But thanks alot for your effort

so you just swap the hdd from the 3.41 with the mods, and put it into the 3.50?

before the transfer, the HDD is formatted

no, use a 3.41 to DATA TRANFER to a 3.50 ps3
then swap the HDD in 3.50 for another one, format it, & data transfer different patch (again from 3.41)
The HDD MUST be formatted in the ps3 you want to use it in, cause I tried otherwise, doesn't work..

ohhhh ok now i get it, very useful

Gizmo have u got an old laptop hdd? i heard thats the right size to work
