ProgSkeet: Solderless Video Released And More Updates

[GaryOPA]

Well people have been bugging @uf6667 for a video, so he made a short one, and we converted and uploaded it to Youtube!

He also posted right here on PS3Crunch, the reason for this short video, it showcases the first stage of the upcoming SOLDERLESS FlexPCB/Clip setup:

I would like to add one thing, in case you haven't noticed: it's not about the speed, that train's long gone.
no, this time around we have the SOLDERLESS CLIP attached to the NAND.
sure, it has wires soldered to it but this is just because there is flex pcb yet to connect to progskeet
once it's all tested and flex pcb is designed, this will be 100% solderless

He also tweeted the wrong diagram was released for the Dual-NAND setup, so we attached the right one below with the new updated software!

DIAGRAM Changes:

03/08/2011
- Removed DualNandNew.bmp (this is for prototype, sorry)
- Added Dual NAND diagram (with the switch), read below for instructions.

02/08/2011
- Added new NAND/Dual NAND diagram. Power up the console with the switch set to "off". When the console is on, you can switch it to "on".

FLASHER Changes:

110802
- Added more selections to Block Count (bigger NANDs)

110803
- Fixed: issue with "Test Shorts" - ONLY USE THIS WHEN PROGSKEET IS NOT CONNECTED TO ANY DEVICE!!! OTHERWISE IT GIVES FALSE POSITIVE!!!

yours truly,

has anyone tried it?
dose it work?

Congratulations mate!! cant wait to order and try it our for myself, much kudos to all the work you've carried out, please keep going and keep safe!!

lol so i'm confused what exactly does this do other than make any ps3 downgrade-able? is it like a mod chip or perhaps the first steps towards one ? or could we simply...with time make our own nand that could do whatever we want.

For now, it will allow people to downgrade, or repair bricked PS3's.

But over time, as more work is done or if the bootloader is exploited, we could use it to flash a newer CFW that is much better then what we have now.

Besides that the ProgSkeet is open-source, universal, it can basically handle any Flashing needs, even 360 work, or other future next-gen consoles, it has tons of uses, can even flash custom code in those fancy onboard computers found in cars we can't afford at the moment.

ahh thanks for explaining..i thought it might be something along those lines

Please dont tell me I am the only one that noticed he is dumping a XBOX nand and not a ps3 NAND.

Lets see the same thing done with a PS3 please.

[szlifier]

So what? No one is trying to hide this. The device is advertised as universal, there is no magic in dumping PS3 memory, it has been done countless time before and Progskeet works great with it for sure.
This is just to showcase a prototype of solderless solution.

Ah thanks for this, saved me from converting the 3gp.
