(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello all, I've decided to make this tutorial as I've known 6 people that bricked their PS3 due to the 4.11 Rebug Spoofer recently released.

Requirements:
USB with 800 MB free space
3.55 PS3 already

Another way to fix this mentioned by a slew of people is to restore your system through recovery menu with the original 3.55 update, and then install your custom firmware again. I haven't verified this way, so do this at your own risk.

Warning: You may have a chance of a perma brick using this method


First of all, you need to download these files:
RSOD Fix.pkg

You must login or register to view this content.


NORSOD patched PUP

You must login or register to view this content.


Now put the .PKG file onto the root of your USB like any other package file.
Once you've done that go to the root of your USB and make this: PS3 > UPDATE
Inside of the UPDATE folder you put the UPDAT.PUP
Go to your PS3 and hold down the power button. It will do a few beeps and then turn off, once it does that hold it down again until you hear 2 beeps in a row. Once you do that you let go of the power button. You're now in Recovery Mode.

From Recovery Mode, you scroll down to the last option: Update. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY DISCS IN YOUR PS3 WHEN YOU DO THIS. Choose Update, and press select and start at the same time. It should recognize your USB with the update on it etc. Update it with that.

Once the update is finished, install the .PKG file. Then run it from the XMB.

Now, you are completely unbricked/red screened. All you have to do now is get the CFW you want to put back on it, and replace the UPDAT.PUP inside of your USB and update it through media device.

I hope this helped you guys, and if you have any questions feel free to ask. I do not take credit for these files, or the tutorial. I just wanted to share my find with you guys.

Place this Lv2diag.self in the root of an empty USB flash dongle, and use any method to toggle Factory Service Mode (FSM)

1.)Copy the .self (in the download) to the root of a USB flash drive.

2.)Rename the file to Lv2diag.self.

3.)Place the flash drive in the right most USB port.

4.)Toggle FSM.

5.)Boot PS3

6.) During FSM boot, the Lv2diag.self will execute.

If you hear a single beep and your PS3 returns to XMB it was successful (obviously)

If you will hear one or more beeps, and the playstation3 will shutdown. If you experience a failure, its likely due to your FLASH being corrupt beyond repair or a hardware problem.

Happend to me with that dodgy 9.99 spoofer.. yes i download the right one for my cfw (kmeaw) and still got RSOD but i knew how to fix it with out even reading about it because cant see nothing on screen just red backround and some jap writing the obviouse thing to do would be boot recovery menu install OFW then CFW and be all back to normall...plus installing firmware dosent format so i ended up with what i wanted spoofer deactivated and all the data from my 4.11 when i data transferd.

I've never had a problem with Rebug until now. Next time they release something I'm not going to be the "git er dun" boy and be one of the first people to use it. I'll be waiting and watching to see what happens :p

the fast way part is not how i said it to be done, still have to do service mode and use the rsod.self to fix it, and if it still shows rsod try to put it into recovery mode right after you use rsod.self

how does it work for some people and not others

It'll work for anyone on 3.55 already. If you're not on 3.55 it won't work.

it happen for me i fix it yesterday , if i get it it mean i cant do 3.55 online?

The first time I tried to use it it RSOD'd me. I did "My Method" and it fixed it. I then put 3.5.5.2 Rebug back on and it's working now

ki change my mind i see alot of comments say they get yellow light of death !
i get Red Screen of Death & i was shocked !
If i got yellow light of death what well happen for me it is Not like RSOD it cant be fixed by USB

ylod is when a soldering point is disconnected from the cpu or a piece of the motherboard was knocked off
