(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ok, before you say i'm a noob or stuff, i've swapped many consoles to dex, and this never happened, however this ps3 was on ofw 4.65 but I used patch tools to downgrade and e3, whenever I try to update on dex it says no apceptable update file found, I was able to use the ofw 3.55 dex downgrader, but I'm confused, any help here, I can't update it. Sry for the bad english, I know english I'm just typing in a hurry. I swapped using rebug and had to swap back using multiman cause rebug only works if your on rebug firmware, so any ideas why i can't update the dex firmware with cfw.

you need to use the right pup file to update, believe me only the specific right one will work in your case. you are stuck on 999 downgrader.. you need to use " REBUG_3.55.4_999_DGR_PS3UPDAT.PUP ". if that doesnt work then use " Rog-3.55-DEX-DG-V2.PUP "

I was on the 999 downgrader for rex, to switch, Also, i couldn't find a rogero 3.55 dex downgrader, I looked. This is strange though because every other time I went to dex it did any firmware right away.

Alright, well, it installed but I still can't install higher firmware cfw, or drex rebug cfw, or any other cfw. Still just says no applicable update data was found as if it had no qa.

for all owners of PS3 consoles downgraded from 3.55+ using hardware flashers and Rogero_CFW_v3.x,

Before attempting to convert to DEX and to avoid Bricking the PS3 ,
Please reset the PS3 syscon hashes to eliminate the need of using CEX/DEX firmwares with Patched LV1 checks

To Reset the syscon and have the PS3 back to normal safer mode like any original ( non Downgraded ) PS3, here are the steps :

1- After completing the downgrade process and having Rogero CFW 3.x up and running, make sure you have the Blu-Ray drive attached or the QA Toggle package won't work.
2- Download the Rebug QA_Toggle package from here ---> You must login or register to view this content.
3- Put the "toggle_qa.pkg" on USB and Install it on the PS3.
4- Run the "Rebug Toggle QA" from XMB, the screen will go Black and you will see HDD Led activity then if all went fine you will hear one Beep and the PS3 will Restart back to XMB.
5- If you want to make sure QA flag was set, go to "Network Settings" then apply the following key combo (all at the same time):

L1 + L2 + L3 (press left stick) + R1 + R2 + dpad_down

You should see Edy Viewer, Debug Settings, and Install Package Files if done correctly.

6- Now that you have QA flag set, Turn Off your PS3 and Turn it back on but into "Recovery Menu"

This Step is very important, it have to be from "Recovery Menu" and not a normal Update from XMB or the PS3 will Brick.

Here is how to access it:
a. Turn off Playstation®3.
b. Hold The power button down; The system will turn on and turn off once again.
c. Once the System has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps
d. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.
e. You will be prompted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button
f. The Recovery menu will pop up.

Alternatively you can simply use CondorStrike's Updater package to enter Recovery Menu directly from XMB without going through the boot sequences. --> Condor Updater v2.0

7- Now you must have any 3.55 OFW or CFW with original (non Patched) LV1 in your "USB:\PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP", here's a link to 3.55-Kmeaw --> You must login or register to view this content.

8- Select the last option of the Recovery Menu --> System Update, then when prompted press and hold "Start+Select" for 5 seconds to start the update.

Once finished the PS3 will restart into XMB with the Syscon hashes reset back to 3.55 in both "ros0" and "ros1" and your PS3 is back like any original/non Downgraded PS3 that can use any CEX/DEX Fw without having to worry about disabling LV1 checks.

You can proceed now with converting from CEX to DEX by following Deank's tutorial normally.



I found that, hopefully it will work
