(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I was on 4.78 ferrox and i updated to*4.80.1_REX and now i cant get it to restore to any cfw update.
"the system software cannot run correctly...
connect storage mdia with 4.80...

tried:
9.99_MLT_3.55_NoBD_PS3UPDAT
3.55 Rogero Downgrader RSOD
REBUG_4.80.1_REX_cb75654175c8c42f8bed8b1a73bcad1b_PS3UPDAT (4.80.1_REX_1)
REBUG_4.78.2_D-REX_e8e716782ff026865db65e566eed96ea_PS3UPDAT
REBUG_3.55.4_999_DGR_PS3UPDAT

Update with the same cfw the 4.80.1 rex but get it somewhere else that means the cfw u downloaded was corrupted

still nothing, thanks for trying though

console: cechL03


error 8002F14E when using alriginal hard drive

You should have downgraded to 3.55 Kmeaw, before updating to 4.80.1 Rebug. You should never cross firmwares without downgrading. Know what you're doing before you do it.

close.

plugged in my broken bd drive and it installed
error code 8002F14E, means db drive

thats incorrect, i have had this issue a few times, 9/10 its caused by hdd swap, bad dex - cex converion or tring to install a firmware you shouldn't have yet, how to fix (go to recovery menu then try install 3.55 regio downrader, it will error, then turn off the console do it again if it fails again, if it errors, put 4.80 rebug on it then do it, if errors, do it again, then go back to 3.55 regero downrader if failed again and then do it again if failed, it will work adventully 90% of the time it is a painful process though, tring to get it to accept, has to be done all in the recovery menu and in a lot of cases you need to swap the hdd and do that but like i said it will work adventurely so long as you didn't install ofw, i usally takes a long time to check the update, in some cases it takes over 20mins to find and allow the update to install and errors, you have wait for it, no short cuts unless you have a flasher and a good backup of your console, when you manage to get one of the 2 to install then you go start to 3.55 unless its the one that managed to install, 7/10 its the downrader that works are the rebug errors twice and the downrader errors once, if swapped hdd stay on 3.55 downrader and swap back then install, may error once, then go to rebug toolbox make sure qa toggle is enabled then install 3.55 regero to get off downrader, after that install what ever you want

Actually, it's usually always safe to do so. If the CFW doesn't support it then that could be it, or it could be a bug, or just a problem installing.

One downgrader should do it. He didn't brick.
