So, basically I have what was a RSOD Fat PS3. It is a CECHK model, with a DIA-002 motherboard but a Samsung K8Q2815UQB-PI4B NOR, which seems unusual, but I think that's beside the point. The board is clearly not altered.
Anyhow, I have followed this guide in order to attempt to downgrade from my current 3.60 to 3.55: The Ultimate Foolproof PS3 Downgrade Guide.
So what I've done is I've followed ALL the guide steps, including meticulously wiring my Teensy to the motherboard, dumped my NOR, compared and compared and compared until I was sure my dump was good. I then patched, and re-uploaded. Up until this point everything went fine, and I then dumped the uploaded flash to make sure they matched up. They did.
Next, I used the provided downgrade .PUP and Lv2diag.self to downgrade after putting my PS3 into FSM using my Teensy. Anyhow, I have my USB flash drive plugged in, start it up..and get the green flashing light. Here is the error in the log:
So since then, I have tried the following:
- Re-flash the patched .bin, and try to install 3.60 FW and latest firmware via regular update, not FSM. I get a "data is corrupt" error.
- Tried using the RSOD fix released here, and although it says it went through successfully, nothing changes.
- Used 3 different hard drives, all did not make any difference.
- Tried 3 different flash drives, all formatted properly and with the correct PS3UPDAT.PUP
One thing to note is that while my dump right after flashing the patched bin matches up perfectly, the dump I take after attempting to downgrade to 3.55 seems all messed up. I also believe currently there is no OS, as the PS3 won't boot into anything and just says it needs FW 3.60 or greater when I boot it normally, but then says data is corrupt no matter what PUP I try to use to restore it.
I am just wondering if anyone has any idea what might be causing this? I have flashed and re-flashed a ton of times...nothing changes.
Any input appreciated!
Thanks,
