Work has been underway to brink a low cost AVR ([http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/7593S.pdf Atmel 90USB1286]) based NOR flasher that is capable of reading and writing on all consoles by defyboy. This was opensourced and further enhanced, now known as NORway for [[Teensy++ 2.0]] boards.

Other people haven't been sitting idle either: uf6667 and bmx have developed [[Progskeet 1.0 / 1.1]], based on an [http://www.actel.com/documents/PA3_DS.pdf Actel A3P125 FPGA] for NAND and NOR based consoles (not only PS3, but also useable for Wii and Xbox360). Later followed up by [[Progskeet 1.2]], which was anounced to get an open API.

Although highly hyped/marketed as universal flasher, it is not the recommended end user choice: long history of issues, long time between fixes, no clear support path etc.

Tristate, or as it is referred to in the service manuals SB_DISABLE exists solely for the purpose of placing the [[South Bridge]] pins into high-impedance (the third state) so that we can access the flash without the [[South Bridge]] interfering.
 
When the southbridge pins are in tristate is like if southbridge (and all peripherals connected to it) where disconnected from the main circuit, the PS3 powers up normally (fans, etc) but it won't boot up to the XMB screen because some components of the motherboard are not found, it just sits there with a black screen


Because the tristate pin is not connected to the [[Flash (Hardware) | Flash]] TSOP package, but to the [[South Bridge]] BGA package, this makes tracing the pin quite difficult. One should be able to locate it by having the running you could ground out the unknown pins whilst checking the continuity of a known address or data line against ground. These should enter high-impedance or no-continuity when you ground out SB_DISABLE.

'''TLDR'''&nbsp;&nbsp;:&nbsp;&nbsp;NOR: use AWG26  /  NAND: use AWG28
For wiring, use 20-26 AWG. 18 can be too stiff while 28 is too fragile. 24-26 AWG works fine in most cases. The Grounds and VCC wires may ofcourse be thicker than the signal wires. Keep wires short, up to ~20cm max (longer gives errors). The shorter the better : 15cm and shorter mostly works fine with AWG26 on NOR.
 
For wiring, use 20-28 AWG. 18 can be too stiff while 30 is too fragile. 24-26 AWG works fine in most cases. The Grounds and VCC wires may ofcourse be thicker than the signal wires. Keep wires short, up to ~20cm max (longer gives errors). The shorter the better : 15cm and shorter mostly works fine with AWG26 on NOR.


For NOR wiring the solderarea (the NORpoints) is 10x larger than the solderarea used with NAND (pitch 0.5mm, just as NOR chips btw), so for NOR you have much more headroom (and also need!) to use thicker wires (for NAND you most likely want to use 28 AWG and cannot use much thicker)

Finally, after many struggles, the way to flash any NOR chip is discovered. Now, here's the method:
*First of all note that when R7 is short - [[Progskeet 1.0 / 1.1]] takes supply from console itself, and when R8 is short - it is powered from USB. So then, whatever you'll do - make sure both R7 and R8 never shorted while console is powered on - this results in damaging mobo as well as console itself.

Preparations are the following: [[Progskeet 1.0 / 1.1]] soldered up correctly, no shorts or testpoints missing; Both R7 and R8 opened. (From now on, just forget about R8)

Open Winskeet (Yaskeet, whatever else you got there), set up NOR type and switch to NOR menu. Connect [[Progskeet 1.0 / 1.1]] to PC, power up console. Wait at least 10 seconds then short R7 - [[Progskeet 1.0 / 1.1]] gets recognized by PC. Set up the following options - Single word programming, '''Static Timing'''. Now you're ready.

Wait at least 10 seconds then short R7 - Progskeet gets recognized by PC. Set up the following options - Single word programming, '''Static Timing'''. Now you're ready.
Dump NOR several times, check it closely just to be sure it's correct. Prepare patched one then go ahead and write it back to NOR. Though it takes a little longer with mentioned settings, you'll be able to flash it almost correctly. At this point, look out for verification errors - there will be some with almost every NOR I've deal with. The key is that before flashing [[Progskeet 1.0 / 1.1]] reads the NOR and flash only those blocks that differs from desired file. Now, here's the trick itself - after flash process performed with several verification errors, flash back the same file again and again (up to 16 times in a row in several cases), untill number of errors reduces to minimum (three or four). At this point, writing the flash under these settings won't make any changes - this last "hard blocks" will always fail for verification, so just switch to '''USB Transfer Timing''' and flash it again. It will take your time around 2 minutes to flash every single block, but since their number were heavily reduced with previous actions, it won't take long in the end. Notice that no verification errors are occured. Now you're done, congratulations)
