With xmas time being over i hope to make a few more videos along these lines but i thought i would take the opportunity to mention a few problems iv encountered along my way .
iv done a few consoles and these are the issues iv had with the fix .
1. When you do your patched flash .....MAKE SURE YOU NAME YOUR FLASH FILE CORRECTLY . bkpps3.bin
When you patch your dump file it will be sent to a folder in the following form bkpps30_patched.bin ....on my first console i left the 0 after the 3 in ...result ...bricked.
2. Make sure you use the correct size screw drivers and try and not strip them ..the front safety screw i use a very small flat blade ...be carefull of the battery screws ..they are in a bitch of a spot iff you mess up the screw head .....i fuked 1 and had to drill it out ..you dont want this ...it took about 4 hours as they are stainless screw and because of there position you cant just turn them into a flat blade head and get them out .
3. I use among other things Piffs guide when im doing the conoles ..you will find him on youtube under HACKED TUTORIALS now he has a download called everything E3 the tools contained in that folder are outdated for a console that is on 4.76 firmware ...when you use the NOR Inspector supplied it will give you a error ...and when you do your patch it wont patch because of BAD read ....this is because the supplied tools are for 4.75 and below..fix change out your patch software for a 4.76 edition .
4. BAD READS ...after doing a couple of consoles my Flasher ribbon clip didnt realy clip on properly it was loose and was giving me bad reads ..I tried a few methods but what worked for me ...i filled all the face edges (the side that connect to your nor chip ) ..pushed the clip on ..tapped it ..put a coin on top of the clip to distrubute the pressure evenly accross the clip of the F clamp with rubber boots on the contact points i used.
5. Iff you cant toggle QA after a few attempts it maybee that you didnt seat your Blueray ribbon correctly.
mmm thats about it for the moment ...you have to be a bit patient and persistant with some of these issues but otherwise its all just good times...kinda
