I need help converting a retail ps3 into a debug ps3
go to rebug.me and get the latest rebug rex (NOT D-REX)
First thing to note is that if your currently on a Rogero cfw then please install a different cfw eg habibs 4.66 cfw
if your on a higher one than the latest rebug cfw
if your qa flagged then your ok JUST INSTALL VIA RECOVERY MENU NOT XMB
if your not qa flagged then use a 999 downgrader to go to 3.55 then qa flag and install the latest rebug in recovery menu
or if you cannot goto 3.55 then use my rebug4.65v1 (syscon changed to 6.66) then qa flag and install rebugs latest via recovery menu
1.put the latest rebug renamed to PS3UPDAT.pup in a folder called UPDATE. put that folder in another folder called PS3 and put that folder on the root of your usb stick.
2.Put the usb stick into the usb port closest to the drive (right side port) and turn on the ps3
3.Update via storage media from XMB
(IF YOUR CURRENT CFW IS HIGHER THAN 4.65 OR THE LATEST REBUG THEN SEE NOTES ABOVE)
4.Select UPDATE VIA STORAGE MEDIA
5.Once your back in the XMB install REBUG TOOLBOX from PACKAGE MANAGER > INSTALL PACKAGE FILES > PS3™ SYSTEM STORAGE >
6.Run REBUG TOOLBOX
7.Go to the utilities column (far right) and select Toggle QA Flag. Select ENABLE
8.Now go up twice to get you to Dump eid_root_key
9. on this screen select YES. screen will go blank and after 10 seconds you will hear 3 beeps and the system will re-boot
10.back into rebug toolbox & go to the DEX&CEX column (Second from the right) and select Rewrite target ID in flash.
11. Select yes. the screen will go blank then come back on
12. go up one to Swap LV2 Kernel
13. it will instantly swap kernel's and tell you it requires a restart
14. Once restarted enter REBUG TOOLBOX select System Information
15. You should now see LV2 Kernel and Target Type are now DEX
