(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm basically stuck in a soft brick with a recurring update error, "The data is corrupted. (8002F2C5/B5)", No update will be accepted by the PS3. The recovery menu makes no difference from the soft brick screen.

Region code CECH-2003A.

I was on Bozex Mac Spoofer 3.55 DEX when I did the conversion (brick may be to do with the syscon hashes because of that). First a hard brick, which I fixed with Rebug 4.46.1 bios (as my PS3ita bios give me RLOD, so if the fix needs an E3 Flasher soldered fully then no problem), then I went into a soft brick, and that's where I keep getting 8002F2C5. I've patched the 4.46.1 bios with Rogero's Auto Patcher v0.04 to 4.40 instead of 4.46, as told by You must login or register to view this content., but I'm yet to find a 4.40 DEX custom firmware. I've also done a full format of the HDD and done the same with a completely new HDD.

Firmwares I've tried (firmwares in green I tried after patching bios):

(CEX)
3.55 OFW
4.76 OFW
Rogero RSOD Downgrader
Rogero v3.7 3.55 Downgrader
Ferrox 4.46
Habib 4.50

(DEX)
3.55 Bozex MAC Spoofer
3.55 Downgrader
3.55 Downgrader OFW
Rebug's 999 Downgrader
Rogero's DEX DG v2
3.55.4 D-REX
4.41.3 D-REX
4.46.1 REX
4.46.1 D-REX
4.75.3 D-REX
4.50 PS3ita

I can send you my bios if you need them as my original CID is banned, and let me know if I need something additional to fix this like an E3 Card Reader.

EDIT:
I checked the bios and I only have one bad sector (patched bios)

EDIT 2:
I've patched the bios to 3.55 and validated them (fixed the bad sector in the screenshot above)

Try and go into recovery mode to update the system.
if that doesn't work I would put in a freshly formatted HDD and try installing a firmware...
The firmware doesn't matter you can chose anyone but ( I recommend 4.7+ Rebug )

Yeah I've formatted the Hdd on a PC and it just started giving me error 8002F225 unless I reset it in the recovery menu
I have tried the recovery menu installation method also can REX be installed while on DEX? I don't use rebug so I can't remember

install D-REX for dex

I know but can i install REX on dex?
Is the problem to do with the NOR or the HDD? I might have to try and get an E3 card reader if it's the hdd

no D-REX is for DEX, REX is for CEX

Updated my problem

If you wish to help me via Skype, add i-itzfusion

No firmware will be accepted, I've tried all of Rebug's firmwares

The thread has been changed you can have a read through if you want to, I've gave more info
