Conclusion : '''USELESS''', brickdumps will still show as 'valid'. <br /> | |||
'''[[Recommendation: use]]<span style="white; color:red;"> [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/flash/Tools/Flowrebuilder/ Flowrebuilder] instead and common sense like mentioned on [[Hardware_flashing#Generic_Warning|Hardware flashing]] page.''' | |||
====== Added 22 nov 2011 ====== | |||
''New E3 flasher update released, it will backup bios 3 times automatically. | |||
We suggest user verify those bios with E3 Nor dump checker, to assure the backup bios is no erro.'' | |||
'''[[Conclusion:]]<span style="white; color:red;"> Anyone with a flasher (should) know that you can dump it 1 to 1000's times the same bad. Comparing CRC/MD5/SHA1 is not any secure way to validate flash (as mentioned on [[Hardware_flashing#Generic_Warning|Hardware flashing]]). Letting the dumper do it x times, only gives endusers/customers a false sense of reassurance, always a bad idea.''' | |||
=== Downgrade === | === Downgrade === | ||
==== Normal E3 | ==== Normal E3 downgrade Process ==== | ||
1. | 1. place the [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/flash/Tools/E3/BIN/e3downgrade%20to%20TF%20%20v1.2/e3_downgrade.bin e3_downgrade.bin] and the bkpps3.bin you made on a micro SD Card. | ||
2. | 2. switches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 should be down and switch 6 (lock/unlock) should be in the up position. while in the xmb press start on the flasher and the programming process will begin you will see each light progess on the indicator from 0% to 100% percent. (once finished the lights will flash alternatively) | ||
3. | 3. reboot the console and you should see the connect controller using a USB cable screen (if the console just booted back into the xmb you need to manually patch the backup See. Manual E3 downgrade below) | ||
4. assuming the process was sucessful and you see the connect controller screen switch off the console from the back of the playstation using the switch provided with the e3 kit and place your USB downgrade jig in the port closest to the flasher. | |||
5. switch the console back on using the switch provided then quickly press the power and eject button if sucessful the console should power off automatically. (if not repeat the process) | |||
6. copy the [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/lv2diag/3.55%20downgrader/FILE1/Lv2diag.self Lv2diag.self (File1)] & {{RogeroFirmware}} from step 1 downgrade files onto a usb and place the usb in the same port you used for the downgrade jig (closest to the flasher) turn on the console and the downgrade process should begin. once finnished the console will turn off automatically | |||
7. next copy the [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/lv2diag/3.55%20downgrader/FILE2/Lv2diag.self Lv2diag.self (File2)] onto the usb and place the usb in the same port you used in the last process switch on the console and it should switch off automatically after a few seconds. | |||
8. power the console back on and you should see the connect the controller screen follow the onscreen instructions. | |||
==== Flash Fun Downgrade Process (Highly Recommended) ==== | |||
Requires tristate to SBE wire soldered, see also [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/flash/Tools/E3/Manuals/E3%20FLASHER%20repair%20method%20if%20console%20bricked/English-E3%20FLASHER%20repair%20method%20if%20console%20bricked.pdf E3's Manual on repairing a bricked console] | |||
1. Solder the [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Hardware_flashing#Tristate Tristate] of the PS3 to the SBE pad on the E3's ribbon. | |||
2. Patch your bkpps3.bin with [http://www.mediafire.com/?a250qvc3c88bcka Rogero's PS3 Nor Dump Patcher v0.01] or patch it manually. Once that's done, place it by itself on a micro SD Card. | |||
3. Flip all switches down, except the first one (Flash Fun). Turn the PS3 on. If you get a 1101111 error the Tristate is not on correctly. When PS3 is powered on, press the START button on the PS3 and wait for the indicator to progress from 0 - 100%. | |||
4. Switch off the console from the back using the switch provided with the E3 kit. Flip down the Flash Fun switch and place your USB downgrade jig in the port closest to the flasher (furthest to the right). | |||
5. Quickly press the power and eject button. If successful (depending on your dongle) it will flash or flash green and the console should power off automatically (If not repeat the process but faster). If the console gives you a YLOD, check you have removed the Tristate cable and switched Flash Fun down. | |||
6. Copy [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/lv2diag/3.55%20downgrader/FILE1/Lv2diag.self Lv2diag.self (File1)] & [http://www.tortuga-cove.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=525 Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7] onto a USB. Place the USB in the same port you used for the downgrade jig. Turn on the console and the downgrade process should begin automatically (You can tell by the HD and USB light flickering). Once the install is finished the console will turn off automatically (Check the log on the USB to confirm it was successful). | |||
( | 7. Copy the [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/lv2diag/3.55%20downgrader/FILE2/Lv2diag.self Lv2diag.self (File2)] onto the USB (Replacing the first Lv2diag.self). Place the USB in the same port you used in the last process. Switch on the console and it should switch off automatically after a few seconds. | ||
==== | 8. Power the console back on and you should see the connect the controller screen. Now follow the on-screen instructions and you're done! (Don't forget to [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Downgrading_with_Hardware_flasher#Dehashing Dehash]) | ||
E3 dumps are byte reversed, and so must our patches (otherwise we have to reverse, paste the v2 in the REV, reverse back again - using byte reversed patches shortcuts that 'reversing confusion') | |||

From this | === E3 debricking === | ||
* Requires soldering wire from SBE (solderpad on NOR flatcable) to TRISTATE (NORpoint on PS3 motherboard) | |||
* Make sure you have correct firmware on SD/TF card | |||
* E3 switches set as 1:Flash fun, 2: OFW, 3: Prog, 4: microSD, 5: PS3 Flash, 6: Lock with the console power disconnected. | |||
* Turn on console to restore (progress LEDs will light up one by one and blink if successfully). | |||
* Unplug powercable and set 1:Flash fun down to PS3 Mode and turn on the PS3, if everything went fine, it will now be debricked (remember: in case syscon has 3.56+ hashes, you need prepatched LV1, see downgrader guides).<br /> | |||

==== User experiences ==== | |||
From my experience soldering a wire to the nor tristate point did nothing, try this method instead. Manually patch your nor backup. Place the patched backup and the e3_downgrade.bin file onto the SD card then put all the switches on the flasher down and hold start and turn on the console. If the console stays on and the flashing process begins when completed after rebooting the console should boot normally on the firmware you were trying to install, if you see two blue flashing lights and the console just turns off try this.. all switches down except the 6th one (lock/unlock) hold start on the flasher and turn on the console providing that the console stays on once finished flashing '''DO NOT TURN THE CONSOLE OFF''' instead put the last switch down and press start again. once finished reboot and hopefully the console should be back to life. | |||
Edit: Soldering SBE to the Nor Tristate is important, so your PS3 will stay "on" in Flash Fun Mode even when bricked | |||

Note: I installed the E3 on a 3.55 Cfw Ps3 and took a backup (3.55 dump) .. Then i updated to 4.11 took another backup (4.11 dump) and bricked later .. Reflashing the clean 4.11 backup(which was made long before the brick)resulted in the same black screen again .. also flashing a patched 4.11 dump ended in blackscreen .. | |||
But flashing the 3.55 dump (after flashing the patched 4.11 backup) did the trick and fixed the black screen problem .. After reformating the HDD i was back on 3.55 even though i was on 4.11 before .. | |||
