(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); First i don't take any credit of this TuT i just post it to people got the problem like me:

Hey NGU. As i posted i chouldn't get my semi-bricked ps3 working Bricked 4.21 ita. i was trying like other people to convert back to Cex but failed and bricked So i thoug i just needed a E3CardReader but when i got it the reader it didn't work. So i did a lot of reasearh, and found out that if u was on 4.21 ita (like me) FSM wont work and u need E3Flasher:/ Okay here is what the guy said on the thread:

So I did a lot of research and saw that many people had solutions to fixing DEX to CEX bricks. Sadly those simple fixes did not work because those people were not using PS3ita, they were on another CFW. Unfortunately, the PS3ita DEX to CEX brick is more serious then normal DEX to CEX bricks . You are unable to enter Factory Service Mode (FSM) or Recovery Menu: So what he said is, the ita brick is worse than the normaly. But lets get to the TuT:

-PLEASE KEEP IN MIND-

I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR CONSOLE BY FOLLOWING THIS TUTORIAL

-Before we get started-

If you do not have your Nor dump please do not continue as for this guide requires you to have your dump in order to fix the brick. (The dump should be a .bin file called bkpps3.bin)

If you do not have an E3 Flasher please do not continue as for this guide requires you to have that specific flasher in order to fix the brick. (You can use other flashers, but I have no clue how to use them)

This guide does require to solder two points, its very simple but yet risky.

My PS3 Model is CECH - 2001A NOR PS3 Slim and this tutorial was based on that PS3.


-Things Needed-

Equipment:
Soldering Iron, Solder, and Wire
(Click HERE to know exactly what kind of Soldering Iron, Solder, Wire, etc you need)
E3 Flasher
MicroSD (Not less then 1GB)
USB Flash Drive (Not less then 1GB)

-Lets Get Started-

1) Identify which PS3 motherboard you have.
--To do that you click on the 'Your PS3' link above under 'Identification'. Mines is CECH-2001A, so I find that on the list of the models. Once you find that, you look two squares to the right and you will have the type of motherboard your PS3 has. Mines was 'YN-001'. Once you have identified what board type you have, now you want to look at its pinout diagram.

--So now click on the 'Your motherboard pinout diagram' link above under 'Identification'. And now just find any picture with your board type and click on it. Now hopefully your board type is labeled. If its labeled then that's great. --Now that you have your boards pinout open, you see you have many points labeled. The main points you are going to be focusing on is "Tristate" and "GND". If you have those labled then you are on the right track.

2)Soldering!
--Now I cannot tell you how to solder, but all I can tell you is you solder one end of the wire to the Tristate and the other end to any one of the GND. Once you solder those together, connect your E3 Flasher. Now assemble the PS3 back. *make sure all wires and ribbons are connected correctly*

3)Now we go to the computer!
--Once you downloaded 'PS3 Nor and Nand Auto Patcher v0.04' put your PS3 Nor dump in the same folder as the patcher.
--Simply drag and drop your dump on the patcher .exe and it should open the CMD and start the patching.
--Now in the same folder there should be a new .bin called "bkpps3_NOR_patched.bin" .
--Put your MicroSD into your computer using a USB adapter and make sure it is formatted.
--Now put "bkpps3_NOR_patched.bin" in to the root of the MicroSD
--Once "bkpps3_NOR_patched.bin" is in the root of the MicroSD, just rename it to "bkpps3.bin"

4)To the PS3
--Put the MicroSD into the E3 Flasher, make sure all the switches are down except the first one. It should be on "Flash Fun'
--Turn on the PS3. Now you shouldn't hear the 5 beeps and the console should sound as if its working perfectly. Still there will be no display, so don't worry.
--Press Start on the E3 Flasher and wait till the Blue LEDs all light up (this might take 4+ minutes)
--Once all LED light up, and the E3 flasher is back into standby just shut down the PS3.
--Disassemble the PS3 again, and now remove the wire you soldered on Tristate and GND.
--Once the wire is removed, assemble the PS3 back again.

5)Now turn the PS3 on as normal.
--A)If you get the screen that says connect the controller, just connect the controller and update your PS3 to the "3.55 Rogero Downgrade RSOD.pup" (Make sure you rename 3.55 Rogero Downgrade RSOD.pup" to "PS3UPDAT.PUP"

--B)If you get a blank screen, and a solid yellow light on your PS3, just turn off the PS3 and put it into Recovery mode. You do that by holding the power button until the PS3 shuts off again. Then you hold onto the power button again, but only this time you release when you hear two quick beeps.
--Now you should see it in recovery mode, just scroll to system update and update to "3.55 Rogero Downgrade RSOD.pup"

6)Finally!
--You finally got to see your beautiful XMB again!your not quite done yet though. Make sure you have QA Toggle enabled, once you ensure that put the 3.55 OFW in a USB and do a system update to 3.55.
--After you successfully are back on OFW 3.55, you can download whichever CFW you would like to go on, and simply update to that. and now your DONE!

HIS WORDS!
-There might be simpler solutions to this, but I'm explaining what I did to make this work.-
-This might be a simple walk through for some, but some people noob or not face points at where they get stuck, and this was made for them.

When u read this i hope u get it fixed And sry for bad english 13year old boy from Denmark :embarrassed:

But i had a DEX to CEX semi brick on rebug :/ Any idea why it won't work?

If your e3 card reader does not flash blue trying to enter FSM, then I'm sorry to say there's not solution to it ATM. I been trying to unbrick my cfw but never flashes blue. I have my dump but I don't know if that comes in hand for the cardreader, I hope someone can find a way to fix that shit without a e3 flasher

Yeah, i here ya man :/
