(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I don't take any credit for this guide, at all...I didn't write a single word of it!!!

I feel like this is valuable info, though, and it needs to be spread around since word has spread that a lot of people are bricking (even though it's not as big of a problem as people are making it out to be lol)

so...here you go...how to unbrick from DEX->CEX conversion. If you do brick in the process going back, don't worry...it's a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY simple process

When it happens?
When doing a DEX to CEX conversion, when you're in 3.55 DEX firmware after flashing the CEX EID0.NORBIN in Multiman CEX, you shutdown the ps3 and the PS3 won't boot anymore.
This problem is related to CEX CFW syscon hashes. Follow this tutorial if you want to prevent the brick from happen

i will update the thread with what you can fix bricks with


Brick sign
On boot, the ps3 console, after 5 "double beeps" very fast and turn off after 3 seconds - no video output
See an example:




Preparation
- USB Dongle with the payload to go to factory mode (ex: E3 Card Reader)
- USB Pen formated as FAT32 (help if it have led status to check if its working and ps3 is doing his stuff)
- 3.55 CEX Firmware PUP with prepatched lv1 (no syscon hash checks) (i used rogero v3.4 cex cfw)


Notes:
- Use always the right USB port (next to BD/power button/eject button) for the USB Dongle and the USB PEN
- You will not have video output until step 10


On the computer
1. Format USB PEN and put lv2diag.self file 1

You must login or register to view this content.

the one that is green, also put PS3UPDAT.PUP in the root of the PEN (the 2 files must be in the root of the USB PEN)


On the PS3
2. Switch off ps3 from power cord
3. Put the USB Dongle with service mode payload in the right usb port
4. Put power cord in the console
5. Press power button followed quickly with eject button, the console should boot, and then reboot. (if the beeps continue it's normal)
6. Remove service dongle
7. Put the USB Pen with the 2 files inside in the right usb port
8. Power on the PS3. If all went well you shall see the ps3 reading stuff in the usb pen, and the hard drive of ps3 working, wait for the console to power off.
9. Remove the USB PEN (you will have an UPDATER_LOG.TXT in the Pen with the details)
10. Power on the PS3
11. At this point you can check if the console boot up and its inside factory mode (red square box in the bottom left of the screen)
12. Power off the PS3


On the computer
13. All you need now is to get out of Factory Mode, so put lv2diag.self file 2 in a FAT32 blank USB Pen


On the PS3
14. Put the USB Pen in the right port with the file already on it
15. Power on (the console will power off automatically)
16. Power again and should be ok

Very helpful bro

could u help me? how do i add an spoiler?

Yes but I can not get into the FSM
USB Dongel: E3 Card reader ....

u got the right stuff chec e3 site

You tried to convert back to CEX from PS3ita 421 DEX?

This guide won't work. You will need a hardware flasher. And you can just patch your CEX dump and do the downgrade procedure to Rogero v3.7.
Or if you don't want to lose the stuff on your HDD, you can patch the dump with 3 musketeers patcher. Then install CEX downgrader pup, qa flag (if not already), and instal ofw 3.55 from recovery.

Can u help me my ps3 bricked because i was on CEX and want to going to DEX fast i was on Rebug 4.30.1
I started multiman and double click the DEX backup and then multiman ask me for flash it i press yes and it says Succesfull turn off ps3
I turned off but now it wont restart i think its bricked i turn on ps3 and its beeping like beep beep beep then a click noise and the ps3 shutdown.

Can anyone tell me what i can do can i fix it with psjig or i need a hardware flasher ?

how did you manage to get into fsm when the ps3 doesnt stay on long enough to read the dongle to boot into fsm :s meh i just literally sent one of these ps3's back as it was useless in my eyes

copied from ps3 news lol broooo
