Hi Guys,
I have a kind of a serious problem...
I have a CECH-2501A with a E3 Flasher and psgrade dongle.
After successfully downgrading from 4.25 to Rogero's 3.55 CFW, I started going through the dehashing tutorial... I messed up and read the tutorial wrong, and instead of installing from the recovery menu, I did it from the FSM way instead. I was installing Kmeaw 3.55 (thats unpatched LV1) from the log it put on my thumbdrive containing the FW it says it worked, well mainly it says its doing a lot of stuff and doesn't show any errors...
So Afterwards I restart, and it bricked... It exhibits the exact same behavior that it would if I had a bad flash with the E3... Most notably, when turned on, the hdd and other indicators will flash for a few seconds (I'd say 10-15) then the system will just shutdown by itself.
Alright I think to myself, I've certainly had my share of bricks - and I have good dumps from the E3 for both my vanilla 4.25 install, as well as a new one for Rogero's 3.55 CFW. I also have the tristate soldered, so I just need to restore it using the E3 in flash fun mode.
Now this is where it gets really scary. I've tried starting in flash fun twice, both times it comes up, as expected and does a good flash. I've checked the log file the E3 creates on the sd card, first I tried the 3.55 CFW nor backup, then out of desperation I tried my old 4.25 one. They both exhibit the exact same behavior - it turns on, then after a few seconds turns off by itself.
I really hope someone can give me some advice here, I was under the impression that if you have a good nor dump (and I've gone through the whole process with mine in a hex editor, not relying on automated software) that bricks were recoverable with E3? Is that a correct statement? I've had some bad flashes, and was easily able to fix them - but not like this. :bawling:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
