Can’t trickshot me!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok, so Ive been downgrading consoles for about 2 years now. I was recently doing a friends ps3 and it was successful with the E3 Flasher downgrade. after i rebuilt the PS3 and turned it on-->

it showed the "Connect controller via USB cable and press PS button" like usual

after i was installed the Rogero 3.55 RSOD fix that i ALWAYS use to jailbreak right after the downgrade, The ps3 shut off at 47% installation, then the NOR flash was corrupt, so the ps3 acted like it was a YLOD (Turns on, beeps x3, Shut Off) after reflashing the NOR flash... it stays on but there is [No Video/No Sound/No HDD Response] when running without e3 flasher.


When its on Flash Fun mode with e3 flasher, the HDD light blinks but no Video and No Sound.

-People told me the RSX chip could be damaged, I just got both CPU and RSX reballed and reflowed and it doesnt show any difference.

I was wondering if there is ANY way of installing a OFW or CFW through the E3 Flasher, because i have no clue on whats wrong except that it didnt finish updating the CFW that i always use after a downgrade...

-I cant get the ps3 to recovery mode,
-i dont know how to get it to FSM

ANY help is Greatly appreciated, if someone helps me and gets it to work, ill donate them $10 paypal and a CID.

Please and Thanks :/

Try changing the HDD or access recovery mode.

try flashing the original dump, or try to boot without hdd, if you see the error system storage could not be found you know there is nothing wrong and you have to wipe the hdd with your computer
