So,EVERYTIME you flash your nor dump the console is still soft bricked,correct ???
It's all good man,this happens to me aswel at times,you still have 2 more options left before calling it quits entirely.
1. Have you patched your nor dump with the nor patching program and then tried flashing back to the console? If so what was your outcome?
2. Now,this option is the longest yet has NEVER failed me to date with unbricking,download and READ the txt document to the letter with this tut,here is the link

With this tut you will have to flash his provided unbrick file first,then flash your verified dump,then continue with the last 3 steps of the actual downgrade which is flashing the E3downgrade.bin
I'm certain after you attempt this method if everything is connected correctly you will report back that your ps3 is finally Unbricked :-)


Okay I'm gonna try the patched one first but wheres the tut? That's a link to a backup dump???

Yo can you give me a detailed tut on 2. Do I turn on and off the ps3 between flashing the first backup then mine? Does the wire still have to stay soldered on? My HDD is not plugged in does that really matter? What's the e3downgrade.bin? Please make it a bit more clear so I don't mess up... Thanks bro

Yes it supposed to give you a black screen/no hdd/USB port activity,after you flash your patched nor dump and install the E3 downgrade.bin you will be at the step of...disconnecting power cable/reinserting and entering factory service mode,after you enter factory service mode you will notice you have hdd activity ( yellow indicator light will flash and red light on docking station!
