(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); hello, basically i need assistance downgrading my console to 3.55, (slim) ive already seen if its available to downgrade and it is. ive got the e3 flasher nor attached to the motherboard. when i try to do the Samsung file to the flasher i get 3 blinking blue lights. 1,5,6 blink. i looked it online and some say its the nor ribbon not being on the motherboard hard enough. i assure its on there very good with alot of force. and i'd still get the 1,5,6 flashing error. my model number is a cech-2001a. it can go back to 2.70. im just having a issue with the flasher (nor) not being on good enough i guess. ive looked all over google and youtube, and im just lost. this is my first at downgrading a console. so if you can offer assistance, i'd greatly like that, took alot of money for the flasher so as anyone could imagine im getting a little angry haha. but im available via skype. if you wana hit me on skype that would be the best way to assist me as i learn better from voices. i will be available all day. thanks

I'm going to be in the same boat as you when my flasher comes, the early 2001 models apparently were a little harder to flash because of the different chip setup. Some recommend scraping too.

Try to use a clamp if you can, for the slims at least. The coins/foam works fine for fat models.
