Hello guys,
I am not quite new on this forum, I used to have another ps3 before which was running on a cfw also.
I got a slim ps3 CECH-3004B and I bought the E3 flasher limited edition. I have exchanged the ps3 with an older one of a friend CECH-2004A running on OFW 4.40 and kept my 320 hdd.
Since I don't have any USB dongles I used this tutorial showthread.php?t=33989 with the no FSM method.
I had some problems while installing the E3 flasher. First the clip was not pushed down enough and it was always giving corrupted NOR dumps.
Finally after I fixed it I made two good dumps (i did not make more after spending hours between corrupted dumps - i was stupid i know).
I have manually checked the dumps with BwE NOR Validator and they seemed ok,but both of them gave the following statistics
00 / FF / Other Statistics:
18.23% [WARNING] - Patch & Recheck (Risky below 18.24)
10.46% ✔
0.28% ✔
I have manually checked the statistics with HxD and still 18.23. I thought it's not such a big deal so I first patched the dump with PS3 Nor and Nand Auto Patcher v0.04 and uploaded it using the E3 flasher and turned off the ps3.
Now the PS3 turns on and stays like that (no hdd activity.. nothing) and displays NO IMAGE. I tried to reflash the original dump thinking it will go back to the original state, but nothing changed. I even soldered the SBE to the NOR TRISTATE ( i heard there is no need for that if ps3 won't turn off while FLASH FUN switch is up, but i did it anyway).
I tried reflashing different versions of patched dumps along with the 2 backups i have and still nothing.
What can I do? I don't have any FSM dongle.
I have uploaded the statistics from BwE NOR Validator. I wanted to upload the dump also, but i don't have enough posts to post links and it's too big to attach..
What can I do ??
