plug in the blu-ray and try again

does it matter if i used a 4.50 flah tool when im on 4.11

You could always update your ps3 to 4.60 ofw and then downgrade to any cfw using the 4.55 file provided in the video....

I can confirm this method works as I have done a few ps3's this way.

i tried updating it bt it gets stuck on checking

i tried tht again and im still in recovery and it still gets stuck on checking for the rogero downgrader

You are using an E3 flashing kit to downgrade with ?...

yes i am

Can you write down everything from start to finish what you have done...

Chapter Two
Part 1
Downgrading the PS3


Spoiler:

Go to where you downloaded the PS3 Flash Tool and extract the folder to your desktop or where ever you find easiest to access.
Put the bkpps3.bin file in the folder of the patcher.
Drag and drop the bkpps3.bin onto the ps3_dump_tool.exe.
The tool should open and validate the dumps. You will get a pop-up asking if you want to patch the image. Click yes, another window will open showing the process of the patch. Once prompted, close the window.
You will now have a file in the Flash Tool folder called "bkpps3_NOR_patched.bin". Copy this to the root of your SD card and rename it to "bkpps3.bin" or "bkpps3".
Put the SD card back on the Flasher.
Put all of the switches on the TF board DOWN.
Press Start and wait for the blue LEDs to light up one by one. Note this part takes a while. When it has finished the lights will alternate flash.
For the next part you will need the Bluray drive, so remove the E3 Flasher and reassemble the PS3 replacing the thermal paste etc. i have done all of that but i am on 4.11 and i used a 4.50 flash tool
