Post: Ps3 downgrade need urgent help
03-11-2014, 02:07 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); hi, im downgrading a ps3 the ps3 isnt actually mine its a friends, i only have 1 bios dump, this dump comes up with everything okay in NOR inepector, but in the PS3 Flash tool there is 2 errors, i also checked this dump in BWE and shown 1 error, the ps3 is bricked and i do not know where to turn,

the ps3 is a CECH-2503a i check the factory firmware and it is 3.40, could someone possibly take a look at my dump?, really stuck here,

when i dumped the clip was properly on both ends the e3 flasher and the nor chip, i used a few tips while putting it on, like sanding down the corner to miss the resistor and a couple of pennys with tape, i check round the nor chip and i could not see any prongs showing, when i dumped the file, i patched the file and went to flash the ps3, soon as i hit start the e3 started flashing i could not turn the ps3 off by the power button, so i unplugged from the back, turned it on and i got nothing, but i looked at some unbricking forums and i soldered a wire to 2 points on the mother board which allows me to turn the ps3 on, i tried reflashing but i got nothing.

PLEASE HELP, MUCH LOVE<3

Well, do you remember which lights were flashing when you got the error when trying to reflash the patched?
Was it 10001111? If so, you need to add more pressure on the clip. The clip is not making good contact with the chip bro.

i actually remember what lights where flashing, iv replaced the chip loads, and put loads of pressure on, im 100% certain the clip is fine, everytime i go to reflash it doesnt have it at all, 2 lights light in in the process of doing it, then i get a error

Bro I need the error of the e3 flasher at this part
"i patched the file and went to flash the ps3, soon as i hit start the e3 started flashing i could not turn the ps3 off by the power button"

which lights were blinking!!!!

Also when you patched up the bkpp3.bin did you use the 4.55 tool?
