Okay bro cause some place I saw you have the first switch up? And rest down? Or is that only if you solder to e3 ribbon cable?

You only use first switch up (flash fun mode) if you solder to the e3 ribbon cable

Got to be the clip or i could be the sd card is not connected properly,re format the sd card to fat32

Also make sure that the e3 is not touching the metal sleeve thing

I've also Unbricked several units by using this method,follow the tutorial provided!
Also,if your receiving that error code you may have thrashed your E3 ribbon cable,if the error persists,deattatch your hardware flasher work and then reinstall and start fresh :-)

What do you mean thrashed? And by reattached you mean take it out and put it back in? Hmm taken the ribbon cable of and swapped it so much :(

I mean thrashed by applying the ribbon cable so many times that it may have become faulty ( as you stated you did )
Yes,you can apply the ribbon cable hundreds of times via ps3 mainboards,as long as the ribbon cable is handled and applied with care and not creased or damaged,being your a beginner with hardware flashing you may have creased or slightly tarred the ribbon cable!
Have you tried the unbrick method of soldering to the sbe point of the ribbon cable as yet?
