I cannot get this to work, always "data corrupted 8002F957" after 70-73%, I have fat 2501A used NAND method successfully, it beeped and immediately shut off. I turned it back on, let it do file system check for corruption due to unexpected shutdown and then went to install ferrox 4.82 w/ cobra ps3update.pup and it gives error at 70%. Then I redid nand for Axxx it didn't shut off automatically (froze up, held power for 20 sec) and skipped file corruption checking this time, replaced the ps3updat.pup with 4.82 ferrox standard and same shit after 73%. What gives? Also what does cobra edition add?
edit: Does anyone know why it fails so often? I've never seen a firmware update or any software really where the correct response is "just keep trying it over and over". I'm curious as to what is changing between attempts...
edit2: I found in the readme it says if XMB install doesn't work then try recovery mode, I get a slighty different code there 8002F2C5 but it says same thing data corrupted.
edit3: Turns out I used NAND incorrectly when I should have used NOR the first time. Now the NOR one always fails so I guess I'm going to try a factory reset. NOR just freezes my system for 10-15 minutes then I have to hit the power button.
