= intro=
Before you think this is going to be easy, let me explain why not:
* 18 SKU´s (15 different: [[CECHAxx]] · [[CECHBxx]] · [[CECHCxx]] · [[CECHExx]] · [[CECHGxx]] · [[CECHHxx]] · [[CECHJxx]] · [[CECHKxx]] · [[CECHLxx]] · [[CECHMxx]] · [[CECHPxx]] · [[CECHQxx]] · [[CECH-20xx]] · [[CECH-21xx]] · [[CECH-25xx]] · [[CECH-30xx]] · [[CECH-40xx]])
** with 13 different motherboards ([[COK-00x|COK-001]] · [[COK-00x|COK-002]] · [[COK-00x|COK-002W]] · [[SEM-00x]] · [[DIA-00x]] · [[VER-00x]] · [[DYN-00x]] · [[SUR-00x]] · [[JTP-00x]] · [[JSD-00x]] · [[KTE-00x]] · [[MSX-00x]])
*** 9 flashtypes (NAND: Samsung [[K9F1G08U0A-PIB0]] · Samsung [[K9F1G08U0B-PIB0]] · Samsung [[K9F2G08U0M]] / NOR: Macronix [[MX29GL128ELT2I-90G]] · [[MX29GL128FLT2I]], Samsung [[K8P2716UZC-QI4D]] · [[K8Q2815UQB-PI4B]], Spansion [[S29GL128N90TFIR2]] · [[S29GL128P90TFIR2]])
* 4 powering options (console powered yes/no, flasher selfpowered yes/no)
* more than 6 hardware flashers ([[Infectus]], [[Noraliser]], NORway' [[Teensy++ 2.0]], [[Progskeet 1.0 / 1.1]] / [[Progskeet 1.2]], [[E3]], [[PNM]], [[PIC32MX]])
but even with that amazing number of possible variations, it all comes down to '''2 seperate diagrams to use: NAND or NOR'''.


== Hardware Flashers ==
Both early launch consoles which feature [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NAND NAND flash] memory (block devices, that interleave their data unlike [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NOR NOR flash]) and later consoles which feature [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NOR NOR flash] memory are able to be flashed. Currently the preferred method of flashing the dual-NAND consoles is by using an infectus modchip or similar (e.g. Progskeet).
Both early launch consoles which feature [[Flash_%28Hardware%29#NAND | NAND flash]] memory (block devices, that interleave their data unlike [[Flash_%28Hardware%29#NOR | NOR flash]]) and later consoles which feature [[Flash_%28Hardware%29#NOR | NOR flash]] memory are able to be flashed.
=== Different Flashers ===


==== Infectus ====
Marcan has made a NOR flasher / address sniffer for his PS3 slim by re-purposing a FPGA board ([http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_sheets/ds312.pdf Xilinx Spartan3E XC3S500E]) made for Wii hacking. noralizer is a git repo that contains the HDL (verilog) and associated host computer tools for flashing/sniffing. There are ~50 signals to solder.
...


==== Noraliser ====
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. Other people havent been sitting idle either: uf6667 and Icekiller have developed [http://www.progskeet.com/ Progskeet], based on a [http://www.actel.com/documents/PA3_DS.pdf Actel A3P125 MCU] for NAND ánd NOR based consoles (not only PS3, but also useable for Wii and Xbox360).
Marcan has made a [[:File:Marcan-noraliser-asbestos.jpg|NOR flasher / address sniffer]] for his PS3 slim by re-purposing a FPGA board ([http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_sheets/ds312.pdf Xilinx Spartan3E XC3S500E]) made for Wii hacking. [[Noraliser]] is a git repo that contains the HDL (verilog) and associated host computer tools for flashing/sniffing. There are ~50 signals to solder.


==== NORway ====
"No_One" has developed PNM - The PS3 NOR Manager is a custom board based on a FPGA ([http://www.altera.com/products/devices/cyclone3/overview/cy3-overview.html Altera Cyclone3 EP3C25]) and 2 flash sockets. PNM is capable to handle the basic features like read/dump/update/copy but also to swap (hot swap or cold swap) the NOR used. It also enbles features to sniff bus activities, emulate NOR flash etc.
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.


==== Progskeet ====
== Generic Warning ==
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.
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="#999" class="wikitable" style="border:1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse;"
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.
|-
! style="background-color:red;" | <span style="background-color:lightred; color:white;">Generic Warning</span>
|-
| style="background-color:white;" | <span style="white; color:red;">Make sure you have several proper dumps of your flash before even trying writing to it! Use unpacking tools (e.g. Norunpack, Flowrebuilder, Norpatch etc.) and hexeditors (e.g. HxD) and use [[Flash]] page as reference. CRC/MD5 is not a method to check your flash (if it is bad, you are only comparing if the other file is equally bad). You cannot recover from bad flash without proper dumps (e.g. bricking the console beyond repair).</span>

==== PNM ====
== NAND Wiring ==
"No_One" has developed [[PNM]] - The PS3 NOR Manager is a custom board based on a FPGA ([http://www.altera.com/products/devices/cyclone3/overview/cy3-overview.html Altera Cyclone3 EP3C25]) and 2 flash sockets. PNM is capable to handle the basic features like read/dump/update/copy but also to swap (hot swap or cold swap) the NOR used. It also enbles features to sniff bus activities, emulate NOR flash etc.
Flashers for NAND based consoles (CECHA/COK-001, CECHB/COK-001, CECHC/COK-002, CECHD/unreleased, CECHE/COK-002W, CECHF/unreleased, CECHG/SEM-001) are generaly wired directly to the pins of the NAND, plus ground and Vcc. For NAND pinouts see: [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NAND Flash (Hardware) #NAND]


==== PIC32MX ====
There are 2 nands interleaved at the 512byte sectors level, giving a 1024 byte "interleaved sector". pages are 2kb on each nand.
[[PIC32MX]] is an opensource PIC based NOR flasher.


==== E3 ====
<div style="float:right">[[File:PS3_DualNand_Retail_ProgSkeet.png|200px|thumb|left|Dual NAND connection to Progskeet diagram, see http://progskeet.com/]]<br />[[File:Infectus-ps3-nand.png|200px|thumb|left|Dual NAND connection to Infectus diagram]]</div>
The [[E3]] is a China commercial developped PS3 only 'flasher'.<br />
It uses  MCU ARM 32BIT 256K FLASH 144LQFP - STM32F103ZCT6 controller to dump the NOR.

== NAND Wiring ==
Flashers for NAND based consoles (CECHA/COK-001, CECHB/COK-001, CECHC/COK-002, CECHD/unreleased, CECHE/COK-002W, CECHF/unreleased, CECHG/SEM-001) are generaly wired directly to the pins of the NAND ('''you cannot use the testpoints!'''), plus ground and Vcc. For NAND pinouts see: [[Flash (Hardware) #NAND]]
 
There are 2 nands interleaved at the 512byte sectors level, giving a 1024 byte "interleaved sector". pages are 2kb on each nand.
 
=== Which NAND is low (NAND 0)/high (NAND 1)? ===
* COK-001 :
** IC3802 LOW (<abbr title="main componentside with SATA connector, CELL BE, RSX etc">main componentside</abbr> next to [[Starship2]])
** IC3803 HIGH (backside next to 60-pin BD ATA connector)
 
* COK-002 + COK-002W :
** [[:File:CECHC NAND-IC3802.JPG|IC3802 LOW]] (<abbr title="main componentside with SATA connector, CELL BE, RSX etc">main componentside</abbr> between SATA connector and [[South Bridge]])
** [[:File:CECHC-NAND-IC3803.JPG|IC3803 HIGH]] (<abbr title="main componentside with SATA connector, CELL BE, RSX etc.">main componentside</abbr> between SATA connector and [[Connectors#CN2401_12P|AV Multi connector]])
 
* SEM-001 :
** IC3802 LOW (backside)
** IC3803 HIGH (main componentside with SATA connector, CELL BE, RSX etc.)
 
=== SMD parts connecting to the NANDs ===
* NAND0:
** R3841 : 2200 {{ohm}} (between SS2_XFRB0 / RB#-pin7 and +3.3_SB_VDDIO/VCC as pullup)
** R3812 : xx (between SS2_XFWP0 and WP#-pin19)
** R3813 : 0 {{ohm}} (between +3.3_SB_VDDIO and WP#-pin19 as always pulled up WP#)
** C3823 : 0.1{{micro}}F B 10V (between GND-pin13 and +3.3_SB_VDDIO/VCC-pin12 for filtering)
** C3824 : 0.1{{micro}}F B 10V (between GND-pin36 and +3.3_SB_VDDIO/VCC-pin37 for filtering)
 
* NAND1:
** R3840 : 2200 {{ohm}} (between SS2_XFRB1 / RB#-pin7 and +3.3_SB_VDDIO/VCC as pullup)
** R3814 : xx (between SS2_XFWP1 and WP#-pin19)
** R3815 : 0 {{ohm}} (between +3.3_SB_VDDIO and WP#-pin19 as always pulled up WP#)
** C3825 : 0.1{{micro}}F B 10V (between GND-pin13 and +3.3_SB_VDDIO/VCC-pin12 for filtering)
** C3826 : 0.1{{micro}}F B 10V (between GND-pin36 and +3.3_SB_VDDIO/VCC-pin37 for filtering)
 
Effect when lost:
* Without RB# pullup parts (pin19) it cannot be read or written with adequate timings (only with a flasher can slow down writing and not by PS3)
* Without WP# pullup parts (pin7) it cannot be written (only with a flasher that pullup WP# and not by PS3)
* Without VCC filter parts (pins 12+37) it cannot be read nor written (only with a flasher that injects VCC and not by PS3)

=== NAND + clips ===
First make sure everything is correct:
* Connect the flasher to the "Y" NAND adapterboard and from there connect the NAND clips to the "Y" NAND adapterboard.
* Install flasher application
* Connect flasher to PC
* Install drivers with zadig.exe (select winusb for latest Winskeet, libusb0 is only for older versions)
* Use the "Check for Shorts" option in the flasherapplication.
Make sure the clips are fitted correctly over the NANDs:
* note the markerdot for pin1 (both on clip and NAND package)
* make sure all pins make contact
* check if it is all the way down to the PCB evenly and no components surrounding the NAND are preventing it from going down proper (might need some filing to make room).
* You can take the topcap off the clip if you need, and can use hotglue ''on the outsides'' to further fixate it.
Preparing console further:
* Replace the thermalcompound (e.g. Arctic Cooling MX-4) for the heatsink : [[CELL BE]] and [[RSX]] and reassemble the heatsink+fan.
* Connect the [[Power Supply]], [[Harddrive]] and the power/resetbutton subboard
* For dumping/reflashing it is not needed to connect the [[Bluray Drive]] or the [[Bluetooth]]+[[Wifi]] board (ofcourse you are going to need them when installing a firmware)
Usage after all is connected:
* First connect flasher to pc
* Use the PS3 to power the NANDs.
[[Progskeet 1.0 / 1.1]] specific:
* On NAND tab, you click NAND 1 and select 'auto'
* On NAND tab, you click NAND 2 and select 'auto'
* If it fails, it means it is not connected correctly

=== 'NOR' Interface Testpoints on NAND consoles ===
=== 'NOR' Interface Testpoints on NAND consoles ===
Simular as on the NOR based consoles testpoints can be found on the back of the PCB. It seems these are from the bus between the [[South Bridge]] and the [[Starship2]]. Attempts have been made to document/trace these. Addresslines 0-17 and Datalines 0-15 as well as some controllines are documented but so far these could not be used to read/flash the console in a NOR fashion.

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 [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NOR NOR 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.

* 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 />

For overview of used types, see [[Flash_%28Hardware%29#Retail | flashtypes table]]
=== NAND boards - [[COK-00x|COK-001]], [[COK-00x|COK-002]], [[COK-00x|COK-002W]], [[SEM-00x|SEM-001]] ===
These are the earliest revisions of the PS3 motherboards: [[CECHAxx|CECHA]]/[[COK-00x|COK-001]], [[CECHBxx|CECHB]]/[[COK-00x|COK-001]], [[CECHCxx|CECHC]]/[[COK-00x|COK-002]], [[CECHExx|CECHE]]/[[COK-00x|COK-002W]], [[CECHGxx|CECHG]]/[[SEM-00x|SEM-001]] and contain 2x NAND chips for a total of 256MB. These chips are interleaved which is controlled by a proprietary controller chip codenamed "[[Starship2]]" or SS2. This chip handles the interleaving and presents the NAND Chips to the [[South Bridge]] as a single large coherent flash over a proprietary [[EBUS]].<br />
Wiring: direct to NAND flash or using boardtraces to NANDs - '''don't use the testpoints'''.
=== NOR layout1 - [[DIA-00x|DIA-001]], [[DIA-00x|DIA-002]] ===
'''[[DIA-00x|DIA-001]]''': These boards were the first to get single NOR flash] memory from the middle revisions of the PS3: [[CECHHxx|CECHH]]/[[DIA-00x|DIA-001]], [[CECHKxx|CECHK]]/[[DIA-00x|DIA-002]]. Only a single 16MB NOR flash chip is used and the [[Starship2]] chip has been completely removed. The 128N is JEDEC CFI compliant and organized as 8,388,608 words or 16,777,216 bytes, addressable as 16-bit words (PS3 modus operandi) and 8-bit / 1 byte when the BYTE# signal is logic zero.
'''[[DIA-00x|DIA-002]]''': the pinout is same as [[DIA-00x|DIA-001]], the only difference is that DIA-002 doesnt have a WP# testpoint but since it's connected to VCC it is not needed.
=== NOR layout2 - [[VER-00x|VER-001]] ===
Used in the last revisions of the fatter model PS3 ([[CECHLxx|CECHL]], [[CECHMxx|CECHM]], [[CECHPxx|CECHP]], [[CECHQxx|CECHQ]]). Single 16MB NOR.


=== NOR layout3 - [[DYN-00x|DYN-001]] ===
Used in [[CECH-20xx|CECH-20xx]]. The [[Progskeet 1.0 / 1.1]] and teensy pinouts match the teensy picture provided on this page even though it states it's the pinout for [[Progskeet 1.0 / 1.1]]. Single 16MB NOR.


=== NOR layout4 - [[SUR-00x|SUR-001]], [[JTP-00x|JTP-001]], [[JSD-00x|JSD-001]], [[KTE-00x|KTE-001]] ===
=== COK-001, COK-002, SEM-001 ===
These are the earliest revisions of the PS3 motherboard (CECHA, CECHB, CECHC, CECHE, CECHG) and contain 2 x Samsung K9F1G08U0A-PIB0 128MB [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NAND NAND Chips] for a total of 256MB. These chips are interleaved which is controlled by a proprietary controller chip codenamed "[[Starship2]]" or SS2. This chip handles the interleaving and presents the [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NAND NAND Chips] to the [[South Bridge]] as a single large coherent NOR Chip.


'''[[SUR-00x|SUR-001]]''': Used in [[CECH-21xx|CECH-21xx]]. Some difference in components but the testpoints are the same for [[SUR-00x|SUR-001]], [[JTP-00x|JTP-001]], [[JSD-00x|JSD-001]], [[KTE-00x|KTE-001]]
=== DIA-001, DIA-002 ===
These boards were the first to get the [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NOR NOR flash] memory from the middle revisions of the PS3 (CECHH, CECHJ, CECHK). Only a single Spansion S29GL128N90TFIR2 16MB [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NOR NOR flash] chip is used and the [[Starship2]] chip has been completely removed. The 128N is JEDEC CFI compliant and organized as 8,388,608 words or 16,777,216 bytes, addressable as 16-bit words (PS3 modus operandi) and 8-bit / 1 byte when the BYTE# signal is logic zero.


'''JTP-001''': Used in [[CECH-25xx|CECH-25xx]]. Some difference in components but the testpoints are the same for [[SUR-00x|SUR-001]], [[JTP-00x|JTP-001]], [[JSD-00x|JSD-001]], [[KTE-00x|KTE-001]]
'''DIA-002''': the pinout is same as DIA-001, the only difference is that DIA-002 doesnt have a WP# testpoint but since it's connected to VCC its not needed.


'''JSD-001''': This is the pinout originally supplied by Marcan for a [[CECH-25xx|CECH-2504A]]. Some difference in components but the testpoints are the same for [[SUR-00x|SUR-001]], [[JTP-00x|JTP-001]], [[JSD-00x|JSD-001]], [[KTE-00x|KTE-001]]
=== VER-001 ===
Used in the last revisions of the fatter model PS3 (CECHL, CECHM, CECHP, CECHQ), again with the single Spansion S29GL128N90TFIR2 16MB [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NOR NOR flash] with the exception of some CECHL which used a Samsung K8Q2815UQB-P14B 16MB [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NOR NOR flash].


'''KTE-001''': Used in [[CECH-30xx|CECH-30xx]]. Some difference in components but the testpoints are the same for [[SUR-00x|SUR-001]], [[JTP-00x|JTP-001]], [[JSD-00x|JSD-001]], [[KTE-00x|KTE-001]]
=== JTP-001 ===
Used in CECH-210., This pinout works with the documented one from JSD-001. Most slims carry this norpad arrangement.


=== NOR layout5 - [[MSX-00x|MSX-001]], [[MPX-00x|MPX-001]], [[NPX-00x|NPX-001]], [[PPX-00x|PPX-001]] and [[PQX-00x|PQX-001]] ===
=== JSD-001 ===
'''[[MSX-00x|MSX-001]] and [[MPX-00x|MPX-001]]''': Used in [[CECH-40xx|CECH-40xx]]. Much difference in components positioning (main hearth of the board is 45 degrees rotated), but it still has testpoints.
This is the pinout originally supplied by Marcan for a CECH-2504A, Points match those taken from a CECH-2504B slim console. Most slims carry this norpad arrangement.

Wire thickness AWG/mm :
 
    18 AWG - 0.0403" / 1.024mm
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.
    19 AWG - 0.0359" / 0.912mm
 
    20 AWG - 0.0320" / 0.812mm
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)
    21 AWG - 0.0285" / 0.723mm
 
    22 AWG - 0.0253" / 0.644mm
Use caliper to measure unknown/unmarked wires and compare with table/listing.
    23 AWG - 0.0226" / 0.573mm
 
    24 AWG - 0.0201" / 0.511mm

=== Tapes ===
For wiring, use 20-26 AWG. 18 can be too stiff while 28 is too fragile. 24 AWG works fine in most cases. The Grounds and VCC wires may ofcourse be thicker than the signal wires. Keep wires short (~20cm).
*Polyamide heat resistant tape http://dx.com/en/s/high+temperature+tape
 
Used to isolate hardware parts that will be installed permanently internally (is the same tape used in pc laptops to isolate wifi/bt cards and ram modules). This tape resist up to 300º without deformation or burning, and is made of 100% non-conductive materials... the tape is cheap but be aware because there are lot of fakes, always reads the comments of other buyers or buy in a reputable shop

Conclusion: 32bit mostly seem to work fine. 64-bit seems tricky/hairy to get working sometimes. Try on good ol' Windows XP 32bit or Linux/OSX to rule out 64bit/chipset responsible for problems.
=== Timing switching trick ===
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.
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)
