08-22-2012, 11:57 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So today i got my E3 flasher i installed everything and everything was fine i got to the point where i was at Rogero 3.55 cfw while still in factory mode so i used the l2diag.self method to exit factory..thats where the problem started

after the ps3 shut off i powered it up again and the menu of the ps3 first installation came up i was like "wtf" and powered it off again then i entered recovery mode......then i installed the kmew cfw after everything finished the ps3 turns itself off then it bricked.
well i guess its the rlod cuz the red led is just blinking and the ps3 wont boot up.

so what did i do wrong? i will try it again tommorow after i unbricked it with my backup but maybe you guys can help me.

edit:


my brick looks exactly like this.

I think that you need to downgrade with an e3 card reader before you can go switching CFWs after nor flashing.
I might be wrong though. Do you have an e3 card reader?

k so you need to go from 4.xx to 3.55 with the flasher, then boot ur PS and use the card reader to go to FS mode (btw use the BD fix so u wont screw You must login or register to view this content.) then put these You must login or register to view this content.in a flash drive and power down you consol down with a controller. Then put the flash drive in and boot your consol. it will then downgrade and turn off
Oce finnished delete the files off your flash dive and replace them with You must login or register to view this content.. then put the flash drive in and do a power eject trick to boot it out of FS mode. Then you are done and on 3.41 FW. then update to a 3.55 OFW (or jb with the e3 card reader) and then go to CFW.

Don't forget to dehash when you have downgraded, if not you get a RLOD.
Just can do it by QA flagging or by service mode.
