(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); alright this isn't going to be for noobs to run off and try it for people who know what there doing i got all the way to taking apart my ps3 then stripped a screw so i need your help

alright to get things started

what you will need:
a brain (no kidding)
tools to open ps3 and pc
pc to format hard drive ( WE CAN'T USE THE PS3 FOR-MATTER)
some type of Operating System Install Disk (I recommend Windows 2000)

now what i recommend
2 ps3's one on cfw so you won't be stuck on ofw


alrighty lets get started on what to do

1. back up everything
2. take out hard drive (PS3)
3. replace PC's Hard Drive With PS3's (Yes it's possible on a desktop)
4. boot up Operating System Disk from Boot Utility
5. Install OS as you normally would
6. when it gets to formatting Delete The Whole Disk (The PS3 formatter leaves software)
7. Once Done Partitioning Just Turn Your PC Off
8. Remove Hard Drive and Put PC's back in
9. Plug Back Into PS3

!!!!!!!!!!!Now Here's Were I Spent Most Of My Time Trying To Figure This Out!!!!!!!!!!!

The PS3 has a chip or something that has a timestamp in it, this features data on your last known software version (3.56)
Now this will not allow you to install a fresh copy of 3.55
So i called a buddy of mine who specializes in computers so i gave him a call and found out something i never knew some motherboards have watch size batteries in them witch keep data on a motherboard alive so he told me to take it out
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10. now back to the rest, take your ps3 apart You must login or register to view this content.
11. look for a watch battery and take it out FOR 24 Hours this is important
12. after that put it back in and re assemble PS3.
13. boot up ps3
14. place your 3.55 fw into /PS3/update/ on your external hard drive
15. hook the External HDD to your PS3.
16. Itll ask you to press start and select at same time to recognize software
17. once recognized hit start and select to format ps3.
18. run through the rest of steps

and this should run w/o any issues

doesnt work cuz the data is kept on your NAND
and that only ERASES with power on about +3V to whrite and +5 volt to erase would be enough

i know this i have a Infectus Mod chip Ps3 so i can downgrade all the time :p but thats really pro stuff cuz you need to solder ALLOT on your ps3 and you could mess it up for like FOREVER :p

but i started a project today cuz i wanna try to sign up a programm with Python and solder a bit on my 60GB Ylod Project Ps3 ( youtube me if you wanna know about that )

and iam trying to get the nand dumped through the USB port on a USB stick or something

not sure how iam going to do all of this cuz i just started it today got a picture for you guys tomorrow ill post it here :p

Can you provide a link to the mod chip?

does it work on all models of ps3

but let me warn you :p

its reallz Pro stuff only buy and do it if your really good at soldering and know what your doing !

and i dont know if it works on slim models didnt tried that but feel free to use google to find out :p

i have it on a 80 Gb Fat

Thanks mate

Thats the wrong Infectus, I actually had the first but never bothered installing it because I don't feel like soldering 20+ cables to my PS3. I wouldn't recommend buying one simply because you don't need it and I'm guessing there will be another downgrade sometime in the future.

i have that Infectus cuz its the original Infectus Modchip

and about the soldering 20+ cables .... I told its Pro stuff hahah :p

but someone who really wants it and is a Pro at soldering could do the job

This will not work.. the battery does not reset the NAND or any other software in the ps3. ONLY (maybe more) but the time only(or things related to the time).

dude that girl in you avatar :p who is it ? ( hope my GF doesnt find out this haha :p )

im gonna try this tomorro on one condition. tell me the possible risks of doing this? i dont have a spare.
