(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey, I will maybe buy an E3 Flasher soon to downgrade my PS3 and jailbreak it again (my old patches that I use are boring now etc).
I have no experience with E3 flasher etc and need some help..I already read a tutorial, but I still have some questions..
I have an old PS3 FAT Firmware 3.6x (CECHG04 - The laser is not working) and a SLIM Firmware 4.20 (CECH-2504A). I would prefer to first try it at my old FAT, because the SLIM is my main console. Will that work with the FAT and maybe later at the SLIM too?
I also saw that there is a NAND and a NOR Flasher, for SLIM I need a NOR Flasher but what about my FAT PS3 (CECHG04) ?!
And can someone recommend me a good video tutorial and some other tut on NGU?

I hope I get some help, thanks in advance Winky Winky

I also saw that I still need another downgrade dongle to buy, is that true? Like E3 Card read or?


Get the first one you linked as it has mostly everything you need other than a downgrade dongle like the E3 Card Reader. You'll also need the other stuff that it shows in that thread.

Yes. And if you are from the US you will need an adapter or a new 12V power cable for the E-Stata station since it is foreign.

Im from germany. Damn, that would be more than 80€.. If I would downgrade, I could still login with PSN Spoofer right? And how many times can I downgrade my PS3 with E3, unlimited? Also how high is the chance of a full Brick (CECH-2504A) ?

I'm not sure if there is a current working spoofer out. Your PS3 can be downgraded as many times as you want too and if you downgrade correctly and make them backups you need you shouldn't brick your PS3.

i have the same model as you (CECH-2504A).
in order to unbrick your ps3 in case you missed something, you'll also need to solder 1 wire onto the motherboard of the PS3 (and on the E3 flasher).
when that wire is in place, you can mess all you want, you'll always recover your ps3 (make several dump backup before messing around Winky Winky )

up need to solder 1 wire to unbrick
i think (not sure), that u have to solder 1 more wire for dualboot. you also need to "cut" 1 circuit for dualboot.

the clip sometimes need to be put back in place (don't know why it moves - i got several issues) or you can buy a E3 linker and solder a lot of wire (but then it doesn't move
