(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys! I was having some freezing issues when using my PS3 as DEX last night. Whenever I connected to Target Manager I noticed it freezing and whenever I tried to attach a RTM as DEX it wouldn't attach. To get to the point, I ended up starting a system restore and I'm wondering if this will fix my issues? My PS3 will keep my CFW right? I'll just have to reinstall all my PKGs and stuff or?

Update: Kam helped me and now everything has been running smoothly ever since. Thanks Kam! <3

What firmware are you currently on?

I was on REBUG 4.75.3, but then I reformatted my HDD from my Laptop. Now whenever I boot it asks me to install firmware 3.40 or higher. I tried a million different firmwares and none of them let me install lol. It says "The data is corrupted (8002F2C5)"

Were you on D-REX or REX?

I think it was D-REX. I just converted over to DEX when my PS3 froze. That's when the freezing at boot kept happening. It froze in the recovery menu whenever I tried to do anything too.

Does the recovery menu work at the moment? If it does, try Restoring the File System.

It lets me scroll, but if I click on any of the recovery options except restart it says it doesn't have permission, gives a serious error (forget the code,) or asks me to install firmware and gives me the data is corrupted (8002F2C5) code if I try to install.

Try putting the same firmware you were on before (4.75.3 D-REX) and when you turn on the PS3, see if it can update.

I will try that in a bit. I'm not home right now, but I'll try and see what happens. If it works, do I downgrade with Rogero Downgrader again or? If I reinstall, I won't be toggle qa'd anymore right?

Don't use Rogero Downgrader since it is for CEX. Use a 3.55 DEX Downgrader. But I am not sure if you converted successfully.
