Alright I’ll buy myself a hardware flasher and be that guinea pig hahaha To further explain my attempt here now that I can see the LV1 strings thanks to @Joonie : Would it be possible in theory to use the FW for 1.03 for example (lowest downloadable) and add the 40nm to the strings? Because a...

So I watched @RIP-Felix video on the YLOD and I now recently got three Frankies, CECHE01 (40nm), CECHC03 (65nm) and a CECHA00 (40nm). In his video he said that you cannot downgrade lower than 3.55 on the 40nm models. However, is there any way to modify the RSX or something in order to...

I tried that on D-PEX but it told me that I wasn’t on a CEX FW after I installed DEX

Can you tell me how to get there? Couldn’t find the exact option

Okay so let’s say I want to convert my Retail PS3 to full DEX. How would I go about that? Without it bricking again? What did I forget here?

First I converted using the CEX2DEX options under Network on 4.91 D-PEX. After that was all done, I installed 4.91 DEX (Evilnat). My initial plan was to downgrade this unit to 1.00 DEX just for fun and nostalgia. When directly updating to 1.00 it always gave me an error, so I decided to...

Oh no.. Can you tell me which flasher I need? Thankfully I have a NAND dump. I also still remember installing a DEX OFW in 2012 I think and had no issues there. That’s because of it was lower than 4.21…. Oh man, but I’ll hardware flash it with my backup. Just a question, I read your name back...

I unfortunately tried to install the DEX PUP. Everything was supposedly set to DEX but after installing, the PS3 doesn’t start anymore. It gives a YLOD. Is there anything I can do beyond this point to save the console?

Hello everybody, I just tried installing 4.70 OFW DEX on my CECHC04 retail PS3. It was on 4.91 Evilnat DEX before and everything was set to DEX, so I figured that it was good to go to install an OFW DEX FW. it even got to the install screen, after I saw that I left for a while. When I came...

Hello everyone, I just converted a CECHC04 from CEX to DEX and I'm currently on 4.91 Evilnat D-PEX. No I'm wondering: Is there any difference to a real debug test kit and can I go ahead and install a 3.00 OFW DEX for example that Sony officially released for their Debug kits? Or would this...

One issue I want to note that you will have with a 40nm RSX is the fact that downgrading for example will always be an issue. If you have a Frankenstein PS3, you cannot go below 3.55 (approximately) without it bricking or not showing a signal. Here's what I would do: - replace the thermal...

Try taking out the hard drive and format it on your PC / Mac. After that, put it back in and try to go into Recovery Mode. From psdevwiki.com: With the system in standby mode. Press and hold the power button down until the system turns on and then off again. Release the power button. It is...

Trying to downgrade my CECHH04 to FW 1.97, but it was only preinstalled. Did anyone make a dump or was it on some game discs?

Just pointing out that recovery mode was introduced in system software version 2.50. Anything below that did not have recovery mode, so trying to enter it will result in exactly what happened to you here :-)

So here's what I tried (without success) Downgrading with Rebug 3.55: Over the XMB it gave me an error that the datatype was not supported around 59% of copying Downgrading with Rebug 4.55: Over Recovery mode it did copy the file and reboot to the install screen, with the blue wallpaper where...
