Remarry Bluray Drive

Remarry BluRay drive

Hardware is interlocked on the PS3, so exchanging a bluray drive from one unit to another requires remarriage of the components.

Procedure

Put unrar'ed remarry files on a blank USB stick & add a 2.30 (PS3 FAT only) or 3.15 (PS3 Slim) PUP
Put in the service mode JIG/dongle and get into factory service mode.
Put the created USB stick into port 0 (closest to the reader) and run.
After you run the initial remarry process, do not take it out of factory service mode.
Put a BD movie disc in and run it on the PS3. (This restores your DRL files!)
Then you can take it out of factory service mode.
Launch as normal.

CFG Settings

Remark: For some reason people are not looking in the CFG file for other selectable options.

e.g. (line 269 until line 280 quoted):

#----------------------------------------------
# Drive Init
#   0 = ŽÀs‚µ‚È‚¢
#   1 = ŽÀs‚·‚é
#----------------------------------------------
1

This will remarry the drive to the console and remake the DRL files (setting it to 0 will NOT remarry it)

#---------------------------------------------
# Install Systemsoftware
#   0 = ŽÀs‚µ‚È‚¢
#   1 = ŽÀs‚·‚é
#----------------------------------------------
1

This will install the firmware PUP that is on the USB stick in root (setting it to 0 will NOT install firmware)

Warning about editing CFG

Default is both options set to 1 and is confirmed to work on both PS3 FAT (NAND and NOR) and PS3 Slim (NOR). Strange things can happen when messing with the CFG and using nonvalid values or combinations.

Additional Notes on Remarry Procedure

2.30 and 3.15 are not 'special', iirc firmware <=3.30 should be fine (>3.30 won't work) to use as reinstaller PUP.
Lv2diag.self for 3.55 downgrade has BD patched out. So in case you have a 3.55 console you wish to remarry, you can either:
- lv2diag.self downgrade it first to 3.50 or lower and then use the remarry procedure ; or (even better!):
- QA-flag extra it, then QA downgrade via recovery to <3.50 followed by remarry procedure.

Alternative method for restoring DRL : Downgrade BluRay Playback Issue #Fixing

If you have problems with remarry, but still get a good "Drive Init" message or where able to restore the original DRL backup from dev_flash3 of that BD-drive and it still does not work: try Restore Filesystem in the Recovery Menu.
