(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Right following the prevous updates around the scene we have a 4.21cfw inbound by rogero and until he realeses his update which will make his firmware more secure on all 3.55 your ps3 can still be brixked from the pup atm.

here is a list of the ps3s that allow the update and some that seem to get bricked.

CECHAXX - Installable
CECHBXX - Installable
CECHCXX - Installable
CECHKXX - Installable
CECH-20XX A - Installable
CECH-20XX B - Installable
CECH-25XX X - Brick

CECH 2501b BRIKEABLE Slim
CECH 2501a BRIKEABLE Slim/Fat
CECH 2511a ACEPTABLE Slim
CECH 2004A ACEPTABLE Slim
CECH L04 ACEPTABLE Fat
CECH 2011A ACEPTABLE Slim
CECH 2001A ACEPTABLE Slim
CECH L01 ACEPTABLE Fat
CECHG 01 ACEPTABLE Fat
CECHL 11 ACEPTABLE Fat
CECHK 01 ACEPTABLE Fat
CECH 2101 ACEPTABLE Slim

Best thing to do and is recommended is to uninstall things like spoofs,fuckpsn then go back to 3.55ofw and then update to the 4.21cfw as ive said ngu or myself are not responsible for your ps3 getting bricked

CECH-2504A. Problem (brick)?

Someone please confirm who tried or knows that it bricks at 100%.

€: factory firmware was 3.41, I still know because I drooled over it when I realized it's able to get jailbreaked. :pedo:

I already did it. Worked!

Activated my Fifa13 Online Pass and Bioshock 2 DLCs, no problems.

Haven't been able to activate in 3.55 because of the old store I think.

You're Goddamn Right
can be easily unbricked =D

After Testing with some bricked Slim consoles ( from updating to CFW4.21 ) with different friends and testers around the world,
I can confirm that Bricked consoles can be recovered back to CFW3.55 even if you didn't have a NOR Dump/Backup .


Requirements are:
1- a Hardware Flasher so you can read/write to the PS3 NOR flash
2- A Dongle with PSgrade payload (any old jailbreak dongle + PSGrade hex will do) used to Enter Factory Service Mode (FSM)
3- Rogero CEX3.55 v3.7 PUP
