\r\n I just followed to tutorial to make sure everything was right with the validation part using my dump and everything\'s good.
\n
\nNice work.\r\n

\r\n what i put here has now been improved in the guide by using QA flag de-hashing instead
\r\n(i found it the only way to get around the RLOD thanks to master737373 for his personal time he gave me in order to solve this issue) my origional post is saved here for the curious.
\r\n

\r\n
\r\nupdated the guide to include rlod fix

\r\nsee i\'m here to get you there\r\n

verify the dumps
\nIn the “program’s” folder find the HxD (hex editor) (install it like you did with Progskeet) and then run it.
\n

\nfirst time opening
\n
\n

\nclick file click open
\n
\n

\nselect all your dumps and select compare
\n
\n

\nleave the top as it is and change the bottom as you check each dump.
\n
\n

\nyou should see this message after each dump has been checked. If you don’t delete all your dumps and try dumping again. If you still get errors at this point check your wiring.
\nWhen there all the same just have 1 dump open (we will use this all the time now)
\n
\n

\nget a statistics.
\n
\n

\nThe fine blue bars at either side are what need checking (the one to the left is highlighted in red put your mouse on the left line and you should get a reading between 18.71% - 29.01% (in the area circled in blue) and the line on the right should be between 10.42% - 10.48%
\nNow close the statistics tab
\n
\n

\nThe first thing you should see at offset 00000010 is FACEOFF , DEADBEEF
\n
\n

\nif you see AC OF FF EO , AD DE EF BE then your dump’s need byte reversing if you don’t see either then you have a bad dump. Re-do all your wiring and start again
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\n
\n

\nyou should see at offset 00000200 is IFI
\n
\n

\nif you see FI.I then your dump’s needs byte reversing. again if you don’t see either then you have a bad dump. Re-do all your wiring and start again
\nIf you did see FI.I in your dump then you need to use flow rebuilder with the byte reverse option if it says IFI then you can skip this step
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\n
\nFirst find the IDPS/TARGET ID & METLDR and then BOOTLDR (were still using the hex editor)
\nThe area to find these depends on your ps3 model
\n

\nIDPS/TARGET ID is at 0002F077 (scroll down to 0002F070 then the top row of numbers is your last digit)
\nCECH-20xx (DYN-001 boards) it should have the value 09 (this is what is in the image)

\nIf you’re not getting some or none of these then you need to check your wiring and re-dump
\nOk now we need to take a look and check there are no malformed headers / file names / region names. This is what we are looking for:-
\nNow find the same positions as shown in blue in the following pictures yours should match
\n
\n

\nASECURE LOADER (00000800)
\n
\n

\neEID (0002f000)
\n
\n

\ncISD (0003f000)
\n
\n

\ncCSD (0003F800)
\n
\nLook for SCE on the line below the blue in the following pictures
\n
\n

\ntrvk_prg0 (00040010)
\n
\n

\ntrvk_prg1 (00060010)
\n
\n

\ntrvk_pkg0 (00080010)
\n
\n

\ntrvk_pkg1 (000A0010)
\nMake sure all the words below the blue in the following pictures match yours
\n
\n

\nros0 (000C0000)
\n
\n

\nros1 (007C0000)
\nMake sure the following in blue matches
\n
\n

\ncvtrm (00EC0000)
\nnote you may get this instead in the blue highlight:
\n00EC0000 53 43 45 49 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF SCEI��
\n

\nCELL EXTNOR AREA (00F20000)
\n

\nbootldr (00FC0000)
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

Flashing the ps3
\nTurn on ps3 then plug the Progskeet into your pc
\n
\n

\nOpen winskeet & select your NOR
\n
\n

\nclick the NOR tab and click “Dump CFI” this will insure your nor is set right in winskeet
\n
\n

\nat the bottom it says “options” under that you have 2 drop down boxes set yours as it shows here (these seem to be the best settings) if you don’t change them you may get freezing issues.
\nif you have some address that simply wont verify then simply change the bottom box to [USB transfer timing (avoid)] (yes i know it says avoid) it takes about 3 min to write each 128kb address but let it. once it has finnished you shouldnt get any verify errors
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\n
\n

\nclick the “flash” tab & select your patched NOR dump (now called dump.patched)
\n
\n

\nit will read
\n
\n

\nerase
\n
\n

\nflash
\n
\n

\nverify
\n

\nRepeat the steps until you get this message
\nNow turn off the ps3, unplug the Progskeet from pc, disconnect the Progskeet from the ps3 (un plug the flat cable if you have the adaptor like mine) (if no adaptor then you need to de-solder the Progskeet)

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

Finishing the down grade in service mode
\nre-insert the hdd then connect the ps3 to a TV the usual way
\n
\n

\nturn on your ps3 and you should have this on screen
\nTurn the ps3 back off insert your dev usb board (programmed with the correct files) into the right usb slot.
\na full list of boards are listed at the start of the thread in the second tab down called
\n"Wrong you need these tools before you even think about following a guide"
\ninside that tab you will see the second tab down called "A development board" in there is lists of the different dev boards.
\n
\nUnplug the ps3 from the mains. Wait 10 - 15 seconds then plug it back in.
\n(the wiki says its to discharge the capacitors but as the ps3 is not turned on the capacitors will take many months to discharge.)
\nTurn the ps3 back on then immediately press eject within ~200ms. Your console will turn on and if your dev usb has led\'s then the dongle will light up the red LED followed by the green LED and turn back off.
\n
\n

\nAfter triggering Factory Service Mode, go to the folder called “service mode files” & in there is a folder called “service mode 3.55 downgrade files” put the contents of that folder into your usb stick and plug it in the PS3\'s right most USB port (remove the dev usb & put your usb memory stick in its place) REPLACE YOUR HDD (the files are rogero cfw v3.2 and the normal Lv2diag.self (365.5 KB) 3.55 get in FSM )
\nTurn PS3 on, it will install the firmware you had put there (even though you have no screen output, you can see it is busy by looking at the activity led of the hard drive and of your USB Mass Storage Device).
\nif you get the flashing green power light then this is due to the firmware not installing. first check your hdd is plugged in properly. this is usually what I forget to do. if it still flashes remove your usb stick put it in your pc and you will see “UPDATER_LOG” as a notepad file upload this to a file share site copy the link and CLICK HERE[/URL] to enter the chat room. create your nic name press enter then click the green word "#ps3downgrade" to enter the correct room.
\npaste your link with “can someone please check my updater log. I have followed the guide here (this guide) I cannot get rogero cfw to install in service mode.
\n
\nPS3 will turn itself back off when it has finished installing the f/w.
\n
\n

\nNow remove your usb stick put it in your pc and you will see “UPDATER_LOG” as a notepad file open it & look through it to see if it contains errors (if it does upload the log to your file share account and ask for help online on IRC) (it should say at the bottom “0x83manufacturing updating SUCCESS(0x8002f000)”)
\nNow you need to get the ps3 out of service mode.
\n
\n

\nOpen the folder “service mode files” and inside you will see a folder called “get out of service mode” copy the file inside to your usb stick. Put the usb stick back into your ps3 it will boot then the hdd light will flash then turn off. Remove the usb stick. (the file is Lv2diag.self (201.42 KB) get out FSM)
\nafter that re-build your ps3
\n
\n

\nturn on your ps3 and it should now boot to this screen follow the on screen instructions

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\nNow you should be on 3.55ofw
\nYou can now install the 3.55cfw of your choice
\nthat’s it simple.\r\n

\nDISCUSSION PAGE WITH MORE CHECKS[/URL]
\nOnce it all checks out ok upload your dump NOT the file you just created. to a file share site copy the link and CLICK HERE[/URL] to post your dump. do not use "#ps3downgrade" they nolonget wish to check dumps.
\npaste your link with “can someone please check my dump. I have followed the guide here (this guide) I have checked it myself.
\nOnce it comes back ok it’s time to patch it (don’t forget to thank the person or persons who checked it for you)

Finishing the down grade in service mode
\nmake sure you have re-inserted the hdd then connect the ps3 to a TV the usual way
\n
\n

\nturn on your ps3 and you might see this on screen or you might have a blank screen and the ps3 turns off aster a second (it should not beep)
\nTurn the ps3 back off insert your dev usb board (programmed with the correct files) into the right usb slot.
\na full list of boards are listed at the start of the thread in the second tab down called
\n"Wrong you need these tools before you even think about following a guide"
\ninside that tab you will see the second tab down called "A development board" in there is lists of the different dev boards.
\n
\nUnplug the ps3 from the mains. Wait 10-15 seconds then plug it back in.
\n(the wiki says this is to discharge the capacitors but as the ps3 is off then the capacitors will take months to discharge)
\nTurn the ps3 back on then immediately press eject within ~200ms. Your console will turn on and if your dev usb has led\'s then the dongle will light up the red LED followed by the green LED and turn back off.
\n
\n

\nAfter triggering Factory Service Mode, go to (local disk c: )) > (progskeet NAND programs) > (get into fsm) put the contents of that folder into your usb stick and plug it in the PS3\'s right most USB port (remove the dev usb & put your usb memory stick in its place) REPLACE YOUR HDD (the files are rogero cfw v3.2 and the normal Lv2diag.self (365.5 KB) 3.55 get in FSM )
\nTurn PS3 on, it will install the firmware you had put there (even though you have no screen output, you can see it is busy by looking at the activity led of the hard drive and of your USB Mass Storage Device).
\nif you get the flashing green power light then this is due to the firmware not installing. first check your hdd is plugged in properly. this is usually the problem. if it still flashes remove your usb stick put it in your pc and you will see “UPDATER_LOG” as a notepad file upload this to a file share site copy the link and CLICK HERE[/URL] to enter the chat room. create your nic name press enter then click the green word "#ps3downgrade" to enter the correct room.
\npaste your link with “can someone please check my updater log. I have followed the guide here (this guide) I cannot get rogero cfw to install in service mode.
\n
\nPS3 will turn itself back off when it has finished installing the f/w (Nb this does take a while.
\nSo go make a cuppa or have a cig).
\n
\n

\nNow remove your usb stick put it in your pc and you will see “UPDATER_LOG” as a notepad file open it & look through it to see if it contains errors (if it does upload the log to your file share account and ask for help online on IRC) (it should say at the bottom “0x83manufacturing updating SUCCESS(0x8002f000)”)
\nNow you need to get the ps3 out of service mode.
\n
\n

\ngo to (local disk c: )) > (progskeet NAND programs) > (get out of fsm) put the contents of that folder into your usb stick and plug it in the PS3\'s right most USB port it will boot then the hdd light will flash then turn off. Remove the usb stick. (the file is Lv2diag.self (201.42 KB) get out FSM)
\n
\n

\nturn on your ps3 and it should now boot to this screen follow the on screen instructions

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\nNow you should be on 3.55ofw
\nYou can now install the 3.55cfw of your choice
\nthat’s it simple.\r\n

6 verify the dumps
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\nnow do the next step so you know 100% that your dump is valid
\nI DONOT recommend skipping it
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\nIn the “NORway programs” folder find the HxD hex editor install it and then run it.
\n

\n1 first time opening
\n
\n

\n2 click file click open
\n
\n

\n3 select all your dumps and select compare
\n
\n

\n4 leave the top as it is and change the bottom as you check each dump.
\n
\n

\n5 you should see this message after each dump has been checked. If you don’t delete all your dumps and try dumping again. If you still get errors at this point check your wiring.
\nWhen there all the same just have 1 dump open (we will use this all the time now)
\n
\n

\n6 get a statistics.
\n
\n

\n7 The fine blue bars are either side are what need checking (the one to the left is highlighted in red put your mouse on the left line and you should get a reading between 18.71% - 29.01% (in the area circled in blue) and the line on the right should be between 10.42% - 10.48%
\nNow close the statistics tab
\n
\n

\n8 The first thing you should see at offset 00000010 is FACEOFF , DEADBEEF
\n
\n

\n9 if you see AC OF FF EO , AD DE EF BE then your dumps need byte reversing (see below the next 2 images for byte reverse steps) if you don’t see either then you have a bad dump. Re-do all your wiring and start again
\n
\n

\n10 you should see at offset 00000200 is IFI
\n
\n

\n11 if you see FI.I then your dump’s needs byte reversing. again if you don’t see either then you have a bad dump. Re-do all your wiring and start again
\nIf you did see FI.I in your dump then you need to use flow rebuilder with the byte reverse option if it says IFI then you can skip this step
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\n
\nFirst find the IDPS/TARGET ID & METLDR and then BOOTLDR (were still using the hex editor)
\nThe area to find these depends on your ps3 model
\n

\n12 IDPS/TARGET ID is at 0002F077 (scroll down to 0002F070 then the top row of numbers is your last digit)
\nCECH-20xx (DYN-001 boards) it should have the value 09 (this is what is in the image)
\nCECH-21xx (SUR-001 boards) it should have the value 0A
\nCECH-25xx (JTP-001 boards) it should have the value 0B
\nCECH-25xx (JSD-001 boards) it should have the value 0B
\n
\n

\n13 METLDR is at 0000081E & 00000842
\nCECH-20xx (DYN-001 boards) it should have either one of these value’s E9 20 at 0000081E & 0E 8E at 00000842 “OR” E8 90 at 0000081E & 0E 85 at 00000842 (this is what’s shown in the picture)
\nCECH-21xx (SUR-001 boards) it should have the value E9 20 at 0000081E & 0E 8E at 00000842
\nCECH-25xx (JTP-001 boards) it should have either one of these value’s E9 20 at 0000081E & 0E 8E at 00000842 “OR” E9 60 at 0000081E & 0E 92 at 00000842 WARNING IF IT HAS THIS F9 20 at 0000081E & 0F 8E at 00000842 STOP NOW YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE THIS PS3 MODEL
\nCECH-25xx (JSD-001 boards) it should have this value E9 20 at 0000081E & 0E 8E at 00000842 WARNING IF IT HAS THIS F9 20 at 0000081E & 0F 8E at 00000842 STOP NOW YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE THIS PS3 MODEL
\n
\n

\n14 BOOTLDR is at 00FC0002 & 00FC0012
\nCECH-20xx (DYN-001 boards) it should have either one of these value’s 2F 3B at 00FC0002 & 2F 3B at 00FC0012 “OR” 2F 13 at 00FC0002 & 2F 13 at 00FC0012 (this is what’s shown in the picture)
\nCECH-21xx (SUR-001 boards) it should have the value 2F 4B at 00FC0002 & 2F 4B at 00FC0012
\nCECH-25xx (JTP-001 boards) it should have either one of these value’s 2F 4B at 00FC0002 & 2F 4B at 00FC0012 “OR” 2F 53 at 00FC0002 & 2F 53 at 00FC0012 WARNING IF IT HAS THIS 2F 5B at 00FC0002 & 2F 5B at 00FC0012 OR 2F FB at 00FC0002 & 2F FB at 00FC0012 STOP NOW YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE THIS PS3 MODEL
\nCECH-25xx (JSD-001 boards) it should have this value 2F 4B at 00FC0002 & 2F 4B at 00FC0012 WARNING IF IT HAS THIS 2F FB at 00FC0002 & 2F FB at 00FC0012 STOP NOW YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE THIS PS3 MODELIf you’re not getting some or none of these then you need to check your wiring and re-dump
\n
\nOk now we need to take a look and check there are no malformed headers / file names / region names. This is what we are looking for:-
\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n9 press ENTER and you should see the same as above. plug in your ps3 and power it on. it should turn on (green light) but not boot (hdd light wont flash)
\n
\n

\n10 type NORway.py COM(your port number) write flash.patch.bin
\n
\n

\n11 press ENTER and you will see the same as above (in the blue is a change in the NORway.py v0.5 final if you have the Samsung K8Q NOR chip then it changes the write command to writewordubm for you) (in the red box is the progress)
\n
\n

\n12 if received an error then type NORway.py COM(your port number) writeword flash.patch.bin
\nif you didn’t then skip to step 13
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\n

\r\n

Finishing the down grade in service mode
\n1st re-flash the teensy++ with psgrade files
\n
\n

\n2 run the TEENSY++ loader installer
\n
\n

\n3 click RUN
\n
\n

\n4 the TEENSY++ main GUI press the button on the TEENSY++
\n
\n

\n5 the screen will change to this
\n
\n

\n6 press \'file\' then \'open hex file\'
\n
\n

\n7 now go to c > NORway programs > NORway > psgrade_at90usb1286_8Mhz_teensy++_2.0_noLED > and select psgrade_at90usb1286_8Mhz_teensy++_2.0_noLED.hex
\n
\n

\n8 select PROGRAM it’s the green arrow pointing down
\n
\n

\n9 then you will see this now reboot the TEENSY++ by pressing the green "pointing to right" arrow
\n
\n

\n10 now you will see this
\n
\n

\n10b then this (don’t worry its now programmed to use in the ps3 not pc) un-plug the usb from the pc.
\n
\n2nd re-insert the hdd then connect the ps3 to a TV the usual way.
\nif you have the voltage regulator then the TEENSY++ needs de-soldering from the ps3 as some ps3\'s wont boot with it installed.
\nif you don’t have the voltage regulator then you’re ok to keep the TEENSY++ soldered to the ps3.
\n

\nturn on your ps3 and you should have this on screen
\nTurn the ps3 back off insert the TEENSY++\'s usb into the right usb slot.
\nUnplug the ps3 from the mains. Wait 10-15 seconds then plug it back in.
\n(the wiki says to do this so the capacitors will discharge but as the ps3 is turned off the capacitors will actually take months to discharge)
\nTurn the ps3 back on then immediately press eject within ~200ms. Your console will turn on and after a moment will turn back off.
\n
\nAfter triggering Factory Service Mode, go to the folder called “get in fsm” put the contents of that folder into your usb stick and plug it in the PS3\'s right most USB port (remove the TEENSY++\'s usb & put your usb memory stick in its place)
\nTurn PS3 on, it will install the firmware you had put there (even though you have no screen output, you can see it is busy by looking at the activity led off the hard drive and of your USB Mass Storage Device).
\nif you get the flashing green power light then this is due to the firmware not installing. first check your hdd is plugged in properly. this is usually what I forget to do. if it still flashes remove your usb stick put it in your pc and you will see “UPDATER_LOG” as a notepad file upload this to a file share site copy the link and CLICK HERE[/URL] to enter the chat room. create your nic name press enter then click the green word "#ps3downgrade" to enter the correct room.
\npaste your link with “can someone please check my updater log. I have followed the guide here (this guide) I cannot get rogero cfw to install in service mode.
\n
\nPS3 will turn itself back off when it has finished installing the f/w (Nb this does take a while.
\n
\n

\nNow remove your usb stick put it in your pc and you will see “UPDATER_LOG” as a notepad file open it & look through it to see if it contains errors (if it does upload the log to your file share account and ask for help online on IRC) (it should say at the bottom “0x83manufacturing updating SUCCESS(0x8002f000)”)
\nNow you need to get the ps3 out of service mode.
\n
\n

\nOpen the folder “get out of fsm” delete the 3 files inside your usb stick then copy this file to your usb stick. Put the usb stick back into your ps3 it will boot then the hdd light will flash then turn off. Remove the usb stick. (the file is Lv2diag.self (201.42 KB) get out FSM)
\nafter that re-build your ps3
\n
\n

\nturn on your ps3 and it should now boot to this screen follow the on screen instructions

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\nNow you should be on 3.55ofw
\nYou can now install the 3.55cfw of your choice

\ntake the micro sd card and put it in a micro sd card reader
\nthen put it in your pc & a blank window should open
\n

\ngo to the E3 Flasher programs folder and drag & drop the update.bin file to the micro sd. (this is the multi console update. you can downgrade more than 1 console with this update installed to the E3)
\n
\n

\nremove the sd card and put the micro sd into the E3 Flasher
\nnow plug in the power / eject board & the ps3 to the mains
\n
\n

\nset the switches as shown
\n1 down / 2 down / 3 up / 4 up / 5 up / 6 up
\n
\n

\npower on the ps3 and you should see the above lights come on
\n
\n

\nalmost instantly the E3 Flasher will update its self & you should see the above light up in blue
\n
\n

\npress the red button under the esata port (below the blue lights) to reset the E3 Flasher & the blue lights will turn off.
\nto double check the E3 Flasher has taken the update simply put the micro sd card into the pc and it should be empty.
\nif its still there just repeat the update steps
\nif it doesnt flash and instead some of the blue led\'s turn off then you have an error
\na light on means 1
\na light off means 0

\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\ntry the "one-key downgrade" first & if that doesnt work then do the "FlowRebuilder patching" way
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\ninsert your micro sd card into the pc.
\n
\n

\ndelete any files on it then goto c:\\E3 Flasher programs

\n
\n

\nput the micro sd card into the E3 and set the switches as:-

\n
\n

\nfor phat ps3\'s wait until it boots to the xmb.
\nslims wont get this far as the hdd is not connected. so wait 30 seconds.
\nwhen the E3 Flasher is ready then the blue led\'s will flash between :-
\n1 on / 2 off / 3 on / 4 off / 5 on / 6 off / 7 on / 8 off
\n1 off / 2 on / 3 off / 4 on / 5 off / 6 on / 7 off 8 on
\n
\n

\npress start
\nthe blue led\'s will stop flashing and go out.
\nthen they will turn on one at a time slowly from left to right
\ndont turn off the ps3 thinking it is not doing anything it takes a 1-2 minutes for each light to come on.
\nonce all the led\'s are on it will then start flashing again.
\nif it doesnt flash and instead some of the blue led\'s turn off then you have an error
\na light on means 1
\na light off means 0
\nthere should also be an error code in the sd card
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\nif you have the flashing lights then there will be a text document created on the micro sd card upen it and at the bottom it shouls have ( OK.
\nProgram Nor OK.)
\nnow turn off the ps3 and goto (Finishing the down grade in service mode)
\nif you have an error then goto (FlowRebuilder patching & flashing)
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\n

\nOpen flow rebuilder and select “PATCH a Byte reversed NOR dump or an interleaved and unscrambled NAND dump”.
\n
\n

\nSelect your nor dump (c:\\E3 Flasher programs\\origonal dump\\bkpps3.bin)
\n
\n

\nSelect the patch file (c:\\E3 Flasher programs\\E3 downgrade\\progskeet_patch.txt)
\n
\n

\nClick execute
\n
\n

\ncompleted it will put the patched dump in the same folder as your original dump (c:\\E3 Flasher programs\\origonal dump\\bkpps3.patch.bin)
\n
\n

\nput the bkpps3.patch file onto the micro sd card and then change the name to bkpps3
\n

\nput the micro sd card into the E3 and set the switches as:-
\n1 down / 2 down / 3 down / 4 down / 5 down / 6 up (the wiki says to put 6 DOWN but this didnt work for me. another error on the wiki??)
\n

\nif you have the flashing lights then there will be a text document created on the micro sd card upen it and at the bottom it shouls have ( OK.
\nProgram Nor OK.)
\nnow turn off the ps3 and goto (Finishing the down grade in service mode)
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\nremove the E3 Flasher and re-build your ps3 (if your doing the dual boot then just unplug the clip fron the flasher rebuild the ps3 then reconect the E3 Flasher to the clip inside the hdd port)
\nre-insert the hdd then connect the ps3 to a TV the usual way
\n(if your doing the dual boot then connect the Esata stand and put your first hdd in that)
\n
\n

\nturn on your ps3 and you should have this on screen
\nTurn the ps3 back off insert your dev usb board (programmed with the correct files) into the right usb slot.
\na full list of boards are listed at the start of the thread in the second tab down called
\n"Wrong you need these tools before you even think about following a guide"
\ninside that tab you will see the second tab down called "A development board" in there is lists of the different dev boards.
\n
\nUnplug the ps3 from the mains. Wait 10-15 seconds then plug it back in.
\n(the wiki says to do this as the capacitors need to discharge but as the ps3 is not turned on then the capacitors will actually take months to discharge)
\nTurn the ps3 back on then immediately press eject within ~200ms. Your console will turn on and if your dev usb has led\'s then the dongle will light up the red LED followed by the green LED and turn back off.
\n
\n

\nAfter triggering Factory Service Mode, go to the folder called “service mode files” & in there is a folder called “service mode 3.55 downgrade files” put the contents of that folder into your usb stick and plug it in the PS3\'s right most USB port (remove the dev usb & put your usb memory stick in its place)
\n(the files are rogero cfw v3.2 and the normal Lv2diag.self (365.5 KB) 3.55 get in FSM )
\nTurn PS3 on, it will install the firmware you had put there (even though you have no screen output, you can see it is busy by looking at the activity led of the hard drive and of your USB Mass Storage Device).
\nif you get the flashing green power light then this is due to the firmware not installing. first check your hdd is plugged in properly. this is usually what I forget to do. if it still flashes remove your usb stick put it in your pc and you will see “UPDATER_LOG” as a notepad file upload this to a file share site copy the link and CLICK HERE[/URL] to enter the chat room. create your nic name press enter then click the green word "#ps3downgrade" to enter the correct room.
\npaste your link with “can someone please check my updater log. I have followed the guide here (this guide) I cannot get rogero cfw to install in service mode.
\n
\nPS3 will turn itself back off when it has finished installing the f/w (Nb this does take a while.)
\n
\n

\nNow remove your usb stick put it in your pc and you will see “UPDATER_LOG” as a notepad file open it & look through it to see if it contains errors (if it does upload the log to your file share account and ask for help online on IRC) (it should say at the bottom “0x83manufacturing updating SUCCESS(0x8002f000)”)
\nNow you need to get the ps3 out of service mode.
\n
\n

\nOpen the folder “service mode files” and inside you will see a folder called “get out of service mode” copy the file inside to your usb stick. Put the usb stick back into your ps3 it will boot then the hdd light will flash then turn off. Remove the usb stick. (the file is Lv2diag.self (201.42 KB) get out FSM)
\n
\n
\n

\nturn on your ps3 and it should now boot to this screen follow the on screen instructions

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\nto double check the E3 Flasher has taken the update simply put the micro sd card into the pc and it should be empty.
\nif its still there just repeat the update steps
\nif it doesnt flash and instead some of the blue led\'s turn off then you have an error

\nthen they will turn on one at a time slowly from left to right
\ndont turn off the ps3 thinking it is not doing anything it takes a 1-2 minutes for each light to come on.
\nonce all the led\'s are on it will then start flashing again.
\nif it doesnt flash and instead some of the blue led\'s turn off then you have an error
\na light on means 1
\na light off means 0
\nthere should also be an error code in the sd card
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\nif you have the flashing lights then there will be a text document created on the micro sd card upen it and at the bottom it shouls have ( OK.
\nProgram Nor OK.)
\nnow turn off the ps3
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\n
\ninsert the hdd then connect the ps3 to a TV the usual way
\nset the switches on the E3 as
\n1 down 2 up 3 down 4 down 5 down 6 down
\n
\n

\nturn on your ps3 and you should have this on screen
\nTurn the ps3 back off insert your dev usb board (programmed with the correct files) into the right usb slot.
\na full list of boards are listed at the start of the thread in the second tab down called
\n"Wrong you need these tools before you even think about following a guide"
\ninside that tab you will see the second tab down called "A development board" in there is lists of the different dev boards.
\n
\nUnplug the ps3 from the mains. Wait 10-15 seconds then plug it back in.
\n(the wiki says to do this as the capacitors need to discharge but as the ps3 is not turned on then the capacitors will actually take months to discharge)
\nTurn the ps3 back on then immediately press eject within ~200ms. Your console will turn on and if your dev usb has led\'s then the dongle will light up the red LED followed by the green LED and turn back off.
\n
\n

\nAfter triggering Factory Service Mode, go to the folder called “service mode files” & in there is a folder called “service mode 3.55 downgrade files” put the contents of that folder into your usb stick and plug it in the PS3\'s right most USB port (remove the dev usb & put your usb memory stick in its place)
\n(the files are rogero cfw v3.2 and the normal Lv2diag.self (365.5 KB) 3.55 get in FSM )
\nTurn PS3 on, it will install the firmware you had put there (even though you have no screen output, you can see it is busy by looking at the activity led of the hard drive and of your USB Mass Storage Device).
\nif you get the flashing green power light then this is due to the firmware not installing. first check your hdd is plugged in properly. this is usually what I forget to do. if it still flashes remove your usb stick put it in your pc and you will see “UPDATER_LOG” as a notepad file upload this to a file share site copy the link and CLICK HERE[/URL] to enter the chat room. create your nic name press enter then click the green word "#ps3downgrade" to enter the correct room.
\npaste your link with “can someone please check my updater log. I have followed the guide here (this guide) I cannot get rogero cfw to install in service mode.
\n
\nPS3 will turn itself back off when it has finished installing the f/w (Nb this does take a while.)
\n
\n

\nNow remove your usb stick put it in your pc and you will see “UPDATER_LOG” as a notepad file open it & look through it to see if it contains errors (if it does upload the log to your file share account and ask for help online on IRC) (it should say at the bottom “0x83manufacturing updating SUCCESS(0x8002f000)”)
\nNow you need to get the ps3 out of service mode.
\n
\n

\nOpen the folder “service mode files” and inside you will see a folder called “get out of service mode” copy the file inside to your usb stick. Put the usb stick back into your ps3 it will boot then the hdd light will flash then turn off. Remove the usb stick. (the file is Lv2diag.self (201.42 KB) get out FSM)
\n
\n
\n

\nturn on your ps3 and it should now boot to this screen follow the on screen instructions

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\nNow you should be on 3.55ofw
\nYou can now install the 3.55cfw of your choice
\ninstall a 3.55cfw before carrying on
\n

\r\n

\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\ntake the micro sd card and put it in a micro sd card reader
\nthen put it in your pc & a blank window should open
\n
\ngo into the E3 Flasher programs folder then files for dual booting folder and then 2012.01.05 update and drag & drop the update.bin (this is the dual boot one) file to the micro sd.
\n
\n

\nremove the sd card and put the micro sd into the E3 Flasher
\n
\n

\nset the switches as shown
\n1 down / 2 down / 3 up / 4 up / 5 up / 6 up

\n

\npower on the ps3 and you should see the above lights come on
\n
\n

\nalmost instantly the E3 Flasher will update its self & you should see the above light up in blue
\n
\n

\npress the red button under the esata port (below the blue lights) to reset the E3 Flasher & the blue lights will turn off.
\nto double check the E3 Flasher has taken the update simply put the micro sd card into the pc and it should be empty.
\nif its still there just repeat the update steps
\nif it doesnt flash and instead some of the blue led\'s turn off then you have an error
\na light on means 1
\na light off means 0
\nthere should also be an error code in the sd card
