E3 Hardware Installation w eng subs
Once hardware installation is done check that E3 Flasher LIGHTS UP when PS3 is turned on. Then turn it off.
During any of the below processes, should BLUE LED not light up as stated, read E3 Error Codes
How to update E3 Flasher
1. Insert blank microSD via any microSD card reader into PC. 2. Downloadupdate.bin (Samsung update Multi consoles) and put in the root directory of microSD 3. Check E3 Flasher: Make sure switches 1 & 2 should be down, switch 3, 4, 5, 6 should be in the up position. 4. Power PS3 "ON", the process will begin automatically 5. When all 8 LEDS light up, update is successful.
How to make NOR Backup
1. Insert the blank micro SD card into the e3 flasher 2. Check E3 Flasher: Make sure switches 1 & 2 is down, switch 3 should be in the up position, switches 4, 5 & 6 should also be down. 3. Turn PS3 on, wait till it loads to XMB (Main Menu). 4. Press START (Upper red button) on E3 Flasher to begin the process. 5. Wait till all 8 BLUE LEDs light up from left to right. 6. Once completed BLUE LEDs will flash, alternating between 4 a time.
Checking the NOR backups for errors
1. Remove the micro SD card from the E3 Flasher and insert into your PC. 2. If update is done correctly, you will see three backups on the microSD card (bkpps30.bin, bkpps31.bin & bkpps32.bin and the e3flasher text log file) 3. Use Flowrebuilder4.2.2.0 to Bytereverse anyone of the files. 4. Follow Validating Flash Dumps OR Upload it to mediafire and paste link at #ps3downgrade channel. Be POLITE and PATIENT, someone will assist you.
Manual E3 downgrade
1. Download E3%20downgrade.rar and extract contents 2. Using autopatcher from Flowrebuilder4.2.2.0 3. Select "PATCH a Byte reversed NOR dump or an interleaved and unscrambled NAND dump." 4. Select as Input Dump File: the unmodified dump -> bkpps30.bin,bkpps32.bin or bkpps32.bin (AC 0F FF E0 / AD DE EF BE) 5. Select as Patch file: progskeet_patch.txt 6. You will a see bkpps31.patch.bin created in the same folder as the input dump file 7. Rename it to bkpps31.bin and copy it over to your microSD card
Flashing the Patched file
1. Insert the microSD card into the E3 Flasher. 2. Check E3 Flasher: Switches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 should be down and Switch 6 (lock/unlock) should be in the up position. 3. Turn on PS3 and wait for XMB to load. 4. Press START on the E3 flasher and the flashing will begin. 5. You will see the BLUE LEDS light up one by one. (once finished the lights will flash alternatively)
Entering FSM
Download lv2diag.self files) and Rogero CFW v3.1 can be found at [http://www.tortuga-cove.com/ Tortuga Cove 1. Insert the FSM dongle into RIGHT usb port on PS3 2. Press POWER ON then press EJECT as fast as possible. 3. PS3 should turn on and then off automatically. 4. Using a FAT32 Formatted USB, put Rogero CFW v3.1 and lv2diag.self (Enter, File 1) onto root of USB drive. 5. Turn PS3 on, there should be no visual, let Rogero CFW install. (approx 10mins) 6. PS3 will automatically off. 7. Take USB stick out, check for Log if process was a success. 8. Again if unsure, ask for help at #ps3downgrade. Be POLITE and PATIENT 9. Once sure that the process went off correctly, turn on PS3 10. PS3 should boot into XMB, look for RED box with Factory/Service Mode written. 11. You are in FSM.
Exiting FSM
1. Put lv2diag.self (Exit, File 2) onto root of USB drive and remove lv2diag.self (Enter, File 1) 2. Turn PS3 on. 3. It will turn straight back off. 4. Take out USB, delete lv2diag.self. Create folders PS3\UPDATE\ put PS3UPDAT.pup (Rogero) into it
Installing Rogero via Recovery
Boot into recovery mode 1. With the system in standby mode (RED LIGHT) . Press and hold the power button down until the system turns on and then off again. Release the power button. 2. After about 1 - 2 seconds press and hold the power button again, until you hear 2 consecutive beeps. Release the power button. During this step you will actually here three beeps. There will be one single beep then a short delay followed by the 2 consecutive beeps. Only release the the power button after the 2 consecutive beeps. 3. You will then be instructed to plug in a controller, via the usb cord, and press the PS button : "Connect the controller using a USB cable and then press the PS button". 4. At this point the PS3 Recovery Menu will be shown on the screen. 5. Select menu option 6 : 6. System Update 6. Plug USB in, follow on screen instructions.
QA Toggle
1. Download QA Toggle 2. Place into root of USB. 3. Plug into PS3 4. Boot PS3 into XMB, install QA Toggle via XMB 5. Run QA Toggle, you will hear 2 beeps if successful, this means QA Flagged. 6. Turn off PS3
Installing OFW 3.55
Download OFW 3.55 1. Put PS3UPDAT.pup (OFW 3.55) into PS3\UPDATE\ and replace the Rogero pup 2. Boot into recovery mode (same as above) 3. Choose option 6. System Update. 4. Plug USB in, follow on screen instructions. 5. You are downgraded and dehashed now.
Installing CFW
1. Put PS3UPDAT.pup (Rogero CFW) into PS3\UPDATE\ and replace the OFW 3.55 pup 2. From XMB, run System Update > Choose from storage media. 3. Now you are on Rogero CFW.
