If you've already dumped it before, go into your tmp folder and get it and copy it to your usb. Once you have it in the usb, you don't need to do it anymore.

Can’t trickshot me!
Soin the video DEX to CEX, the first four steps are skipped. Do I still need to do those?

Download & Install the .pkg file on your PS3.
Open Rebug Toolbox
Make sure Toggle QA Flag is Enabled.
Swap LV2 Kernel - how do I do this?

4th tab in Rebug Toolbox is LV2 Kernel. Toggle QA Flag is on the farthest right tab.
I did open Rebug Toolbox, multiple times :p. And I already had Rebug Toolbox installed, as do most people, so I didn't show that.
