(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); andbey0nd has released an easy CEX to DEX conversion tool. This tool currently only works with the 16mb NOR.

To quote:

<andbey0nd> works for 16MB flash dumps (NOR) only

<andbey0nd> also if for some reason a WRONG EID key is provided - the program will abort and will not generate invalid DEX flash.. so no chance for bricking

<andbey0nd> if an output DEX flash file is created - it means that it is valid

i can even get the download to work keeps giving me an error

nice tool still rather just dual boot my ps3 with my e3 flasher 3.55 to 4.20 and so on but if a pup comes out ill be loving it lol

Let Me Know Bro. And Get On Skypeeeee <3

unless you have 2 3.55 ps3's, its not worth it imo - backup managers dont work for starters

easy enough tutorial to understand tho

if only i was as good with hardware lol, i wouldnt know where to start with installing the flasher

Tutorial (not my tutorial) :y:

    

Part-1 Installing Petitboot



prepared files you might/will need: https://www.mediafire.com/?ny2tj269h1tjrf3

extract the files and copy them into root of your USB drive.

i did not include metldr but you can get it here: https://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/devtools/dump-metldr/metldrpwn.zip

every *pkg should beep if not repeat - only reboot.pkg will not beep.



1. Install CFW OTHEROS++ from here: https://gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/cfw/  (i picked eight size)

2. When installation is finished, reboot into Recovery Mode and choose "Restore PS3 System"

3. Run setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg

4. Reboot your PS3 (Manual reboot)

5. Store dtbImage.ps3.bin on USB drive, plug it in and run install_otheros.pkg

6. Run boot_otheros.pkg

7. Run reboot.pkg (use the package, not manual reboot!)

8. You should be in petitboot now.

9. Exit to shell

10. cd /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/

    ./create_hdd_region.sh

11. Reboot your PS3 and run reboot.pkg again.





------



Part-2 Installing Debian (Auto) requires INTERNET CONNECTION.





1. boot into petitboot

2. exit to shell 

3. cd /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/

   sh debian-installer.sh

4. select no at partition the installer will do it for you.

5. once install is done boot into petitboot and select the first option.

6. tasksel install standard

   startx





------



Part-3 metldrpwn



1. dump your nor in GameOS using this tool: https://www.mediafire.com/?vwe5oi7em54dwk9 (use memdump_0.01-FINAL.gnpdrm.pkg)

2. now you will need to unpack your nor, use norunpack 

3. open your unpacked nor folder, copy the "metldr" from "asecure_loader" folder into "metldrpwn" folder.

4. copy "metldrpwn" folder to /home/yourusername

5. start terminal

6  cd metldrpwn

   make

   sudo ./run.sh 

   cp /proc/metldrpwn/dump /home/yourusername/



7. open "dump" in hex editor

8. copy the bytes 0x00-0x0f

9. use your hex editors search function and paste the bytes(0x00-0x0f)

10. your keys will be at 0x0000C7xx (i had different offset in 2 dumps, so use search)

11. copy your keys into a new file and save as eid_root_key.bin & rename your nor dump to "CEXFLASH.bin"

12. open "PS3Tools v2.6" run cex to dex (it will error if the keys are wrong.. so nothing to worry about)

13. copy the DEXFLASH.bin to root of your USB drive. 



Part-4 write dexnor



1. boot into petitboot



2. cd /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/

   dd if=DEXFLASH.bin of=/dev/ps3nflasha bs=1024

   reboot



go into recovery mode and install dex fw



have fun with your DEX..



bleh

You dont need a flasher with doing this

Enjoy
