Thank you for the great work. I've been using this for 2 days without issue :cheerful: Though wondering if I need to replace the thermal paste, running CEX OC version and it's getting quite hot after each season. It's a 13y/o machine (didn't see much use for a few years but still)

Thank you for your reply. I just forgot to restart my ps3 before updating. I'm on REBUG LT 4.85.1 now :cheerful: Onto the next issue, anyone know where the Evilnat 4.89 went (last time I checked it was on sticky) ?

Yea too bad I only found that thread after half way done with this method, and I don't know if switching half way would mess things up (like updating to OFW 4.90 after done writing flash using the 4.85 flash writer onto HFW 4.85.1 might do some weird thing) so maybe it's not the best idea...

I feel like a dumbo, only finding this after trying my luck with the old 4.85 flash writer method (and stuck waiting for confirmation since I don't know if it's done correctly - the writing process takes only a few mins and the dumping process failed a few time while still saying it's done).

@sanity1123 Sorry for pinging you again, but when I do the write nor/nand part through writer/index.html, the process went really fast (2-3m) then displayed initialization successful green text. Is this normal/ok to process to install cfw or is there anyway I can check if I need to redo it ...

Yea it connected to the correct dumper page and after a few tries (I actually have to update to hfw 4.85.1 for it to work) I got the dump.hex with 155 checks 0 danger/warning. Not sure why is that (error link with "http://") even a thing

I should clarify that I used the correct link (with my pc ip address, not localhost) but it didn't work before because I typed the full "http://192.168...." into the address bar. Using "192.168....." works. Sorry for the dumb question lol

@sanity1123 Hello, do you mind helping me a bit with the local server thingy ? I downloaded and run nginx.exe and the server is working properly when running http://localhost/dumper/index_nor.html. However when I tried to connect to my pc through ps3 browser it says the page cannot be displayed...

Not to undermine any of BG's hard work but personally I think in an outdated scene like ps3 it's proven to be really hard to get a perfect solution with everything/all model tested out by themselves. It puts a huge burden on his back given there're tons of different scenario out there I'm not...

I didn't know much about those (commonsense) practice, that's why I asked for a full guide :confused3: The old data is still on my old hdd so guess it's fine though. I can just leave this here until bgtoolset is back.

@Berion sorry I got another issue all together, after replacing my hdd and reinstall HEN with hfw 4.84.2 it says I have to sign back in my psn account, but when I do so it says I have to update. Is there any way I can sign in psn without updating? I want to stay at 4.84 since there're ways to...

Thank you. In my case it's a bit unusual as my ssd is smaller than my hdd, so I guess I would just replace it instead.

My ps3 is using HEN 4.84.2 hfw right now, should I do what it says (putting an usb with hfw 4.84.2 in PS3/UPDATE/ in and press START and SELECT at the same time) ?

As title, is there any guide somewhere on how to replace my hdd with ssd ? I found a few guides saying I can use cloning software to do so, but when I plug my ps3 hdd and new ssd in for cloning it doesn't work because ps3 hdd isn't initialized (thank god I didn't do so). After some more googling...

Please pardon me if this is not on topic, but is there any guide somewhere on how to replace my hdd with ssd ? I found a few guides saying I can use cloning software to do so, but when I plug my ps3 hdd and new ssd in for cloning it doesn't work because ps3 hdd isn't initialized (thank god I...
