Both ways ''require'' installing nonpatched firmware to dehash syscon bank. QA-flag can be removed/reset after succesfull dehash, without bricking.

            after console turns off take out usb stick and look at log file,
            if log is ok then reinsert usb stick and turn on console,
            ofw will then reinstall, after console turns off again
            take out usb stick and check log, if ok then exit fsm
  <eussNL> do double FSM OFW, then get out of service mode.
  <eussNL> check everything is working
  <eussNL> THEN and only THEN, you can install whatever you want, in recovery.
  <eussNL> there is no need for factory mode after dehashing complete
  <eussNL> in fact, if everything works on OFW 3.55 after dehashing,
  <eussNL> you can install [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/firmware/MFW-CEX/Downgrader/Rogero-V3.2/ Rogero V3.2] in recovery and [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/flash/Tools/toggle-qa/ QA-extra] flag it 
  <eussNL> if OFW 3.55 works then you proven that you dehashed
  <eussNL> so after that you can install whatever MFW 3.55 you want
  <eussNL> If for some reason you cannot dehash because of BD or BT errors
          then you can use PS3MFW Builder and the broken Blueray / broken Bluetooth
          tasks. Do not select downgrader patches, or you will not dehash!
  <eussNL> BD error can be persistant if flasher is still attached,
          see: http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Talk:Hardware_flashing#BD_drive_not_found_problem
  <eussNL> 3 options: 1. open R7/R8  /  2. remove flasher control lines / 3. remove all flasher wiring
  <playonlcd> i  think you can update on wiki "dehashing with jaicrab is not recommended
              and will not dehash as needed and thus semibrick by syscon hash panic

Revision as of 14:25, 2 December 2012

Reinstall firmware in Factory Service Mode

For this step it is required to have the console fully assembled (connected PSU, harddrive, wifi/bt board, blu-ray drive etc).

  1. Use the PSGrade/JIG dongle to trigger Factory Service Mode
    • Remove power from the console (rear power switch or remove powercord)
    • Put PSGrade/JIG dongle in the right-most USB port (closest to the Blu-Ray drive)
    • Power on the console so it is in standby (rear power switch or remove powercord)
    • Press power button on front of the PS3 then immediately press eject within ~100ms
    • If powered on correctly your dongle will light up (usually green) and trigger Factory Service Mode. The PSGrade will then power off the console. If it boots into the XMB with a red FSM logo in the corner you are using an old PSGrade.
  2. Put the Lv2diag.self (see below) and a pre-patched firmware to install (named PS3UPDAT.PUP) in root of your USB Mass Storage Device and plug it in the PS3 (in the same port as the PSGrade).
  3. Turn PS3 on and it will automatically install the firmware you had put there. You will not have anything on the screen, you can only tell it is installing by the flashing USB and PS3's HDD light
  4. PS3 will turn itself off after finishing the firmware installation (If it flashes red the firmware did not install correctly).
    A logfile should be present in root of the USB Mass Storage Device with no errors

See also Downgrading with PSgrade Dongle, which also contains alot of ready to use PSgrade HEX files for several dongles.

PUP to use

Any firmware with pre-patched Lv1 (no syscon hash checks).

Example:

OFW 3.55 Kmeaw 3.55 (Lv1 Patched) Rogero 4.30 v2.03

Recommended:

Rogero 3.55 v3.7 (Can be installed without blu-ray drive)

Different Factory Service Mode SELFs

NAND

For factory Service Mode install:

  • if using the normal lv2diag : Use a NoBD patched PUP (e.g. Rogero NoBD PUP) (to prevent error 0x8002f057)
  • if using the jaicrab NoBD lv2diag : Use the Rogero normal PUP - see note below (and redump flash after FSM to check both ROS)

note: since V3 Rogero is only available as noBD, use that one with normal lv2diag.self

NOR

Use the normal lv2diag and use the Rogero normal PUP

Only when having a console with a broken bluraydrive, you either:

  • use the normal lv2diag : Use a NoBD patched PUP (e.g. Rogero NoBD PUP) (to prevent error 0x8002f057)
  • use the jaicrab NoBD lv2diag : Use the Rogero normal PUP - see note below

note: since V3.7 Rogero is only available as noBD, use that one with normal lv2diag.self

* recommended default choice, see above notes

Check the logfile

After installation of the firmware, take the created logfile in root of USB Mass Storage Device and look if it contains errors (pastie the log if you want to ask for help online on IRC)

Tip: You can boot console to XMB while still in FSM, if you want to be really sure it installed fine.

Getting out of Factory Service Mode

If everything went fine without errors, you can take the console out of service mode and enjoy your downgraded console :)

  1. Put the Lv2diag.self (see below) in root of your USB Mass Storage Device and plug it in the PS3 (again, in the rightmost USB port).
  2. Turn PS3 on, it will trigger Factory Service Mode off and shutdown.
