Hello everyone, this is my first thread, and im seeking for your help.
Firstly im noob on this, i just bought a ps3 fat for my son, with games on hdd that are just working fine.
CFW 4.82 Ferrox installed, but the bluray isn't working, i can't put a dvd on it and not responding, we already have a broken ps3 with the same Serial with a working bluray drive, i did swap them, and still the same problem.

I did some research on forum, and this is what i understand.

The owner maybe installed the CFW NOBD because the bluray drive was broken, so even if i swap it shouldn't work. & . I need to do some software steps like remarry if i remember what i read.

I need your help on this, because the old bluray drive we have was working just fine.
And if possible some steps for a beginner with links, i will apreciate it

Thank you
 
You should definitely wait for a more qualified person to answer, but my friend said he could just update to REBUG REX/D-REX Of Equal or higher firmware version and it would fix the problem. But does the "broken" BD work in the OFW console? If you haven't yet, give it a try and make sure whether or not it works

Do some research before replying please, none of that is correct, if you don't know leave it to someone else... You are just wasting this guy's time asking him to try random stuff.

Also he did not say he had a ofw console.. And even if he did a different drive will definitely not work in it, do some research, every drive is "married" to its original console.

@OP I'm on my phone, so I will leave this to someone who can explain it better but the easiest way to remarry a drive is with cfw tools (included and enabled by default in the latest rebug cfw), also worth noting, you may just have a laser issue, so it's quite possible you don't have/need NOBD FW, you could try install Rebug 4.82.2, then try to follow the remarry process using cfw tools xmb addon (aka cfw settings). This thread may help http://www.psx-place.com/threads/rebug-4-81-2-and-blu-ray-remarry.14388/ (read every post)

P. S. It's very important you don't install any fw while in Factory Service Mode (FSM) , entering FSM is part of the remarry process.

Thanks a lot @DeViL303 for your answer, i followed the link you told me; but still cannot figure out few things.

Just to confirm that the first BD in the broken ps3 was working under a CFW.

Ok now the steps i have to do are :

1 : upgrade the CFW ferrox 4.82 to CFW rebug 4.82.2. Can it be done or i must go back to OFW first?
2 : After Upgrading to 4.82.2, i need to follow the process to remarry the working BD.


Edit: before passing to Rebug, must i sawp the BD first, updating using the working BD. is it ok?

Sorry to ask such questions, but the last time i used to flash a ps3 was easy lol "by usb" since ofw 3.55 if i remember. since then i didn't followed the news.

You can simply "update" from ferric 4.82 to rebug 4.82.2 but it's best to QA Flag first, google will tell you how. And I would say it's best to use the original BD first and see if it works, and if it doesn't it may need to be remarried or it may be broken, I couldn't help you there.
 
Hi @DrexploidHax, thx for your reply, Unfortunatly, i tried to upgrade to 4.82.2 CEX, my console is on 4.82 CEX
I've got this error 8002F14E == Edit : when reaching 90%
It's related to hardware
I think i need to fix that problem first :s
 
i'm trying to bypass the error 8002F14E, i followed a tuto about removing battery few minutes then update from recovery.
I opened the ps3 but the battery is under the metal cover that i won't touch for now "Already someone fixed the gpu" lol
Anyway i will try to figure out how to make it work. if you have tips should be great
 
Ok im stuck now in the update loop process.
Changed BD + ribbon without success.
Done the battery cmos method too, one last step is to use a second hdd to kick out the ps3 from the boot loop.
I still don't know what cuz the problem. maybe the HDD is bad, or the second BD cuz the problem not married.
I will try again tomorow
Thank you for your help

Well if you ABSOLUTELY NEED a 2nd HDD, and you don't need the contents of your PS3 HDD, you could just wipe that drive from your PC, and reinsert it. You could also try removing he HDD, booting it (with error that it can't read system) power off, reinsert drive, and reboot. It got me out of Recovery Loop when I didn't have any USB controller cable to use, and couldn't get it out of safe mode.

If the previous owner of the PS3 had mounted a CFW Ferrox noBD (because his drive was broken) it is obvious that it does not work dvd&bd.
If you have mounted a new driveBD in your PS3 FAT, until you do a "remarry", it will still not work even if you change 10 new bd drives.
 
Remember that on fat consoles the BD logic board is screwed under the BD drive. If you swap the whole unit, you also change the logic board & you need to be sure that the logic board is compatible & in working order so the drive can be remarried properly.

When the BD unit has a problem, standard fw installation (ofw or cfw) fails. In this case, you may need to use noBD CFWs exclusively.

In order to remarry your drive you must use Factory Service Mode, either in 3.55 with lv2diag.self placed on a USB key or in 4.xx using CFW settings links.

1. If you wish to do it in 3.55 you will need to downgrade your console fw first using either a patched 3.55 downgrader or a noBD 3.55 firmware if ever your console already has QA toggled on.
There are plenty of tutorials to remarry in 3.55. Read them carefully.
Basically you will need to enter Fsm using the lv2diag.self "enter" utility on USB.
Remarry the drive.
Exit FSM using the "exit" lv2diag.self on the USB key.
Install 4.xx firmware of your choice.
Here are all the available FSM files.

2. If you choose to do it in 4.xx, you will need cfw settings installed. If you are in CEX Mode & cannot install pkg, you may have no choice but to install a Rebug noBD 4.8x with cfw settings pre-activated.
If you cannot find one, it is quite easy to make with a pup repacker or puadgui.
In the unpacked PUP /dev_flash files you must go to /dev_flash/vsh/resources/explore/xmb. Delete the cfw_settings.xml file & rename the cfw_settings.xml.on file to cfw_settings.xml.
Once done, repack the PUP & voilà, cfw settings is preactivated.

For succinct remarrying steps in 4.8x, read posts #5, 6, 8 & 10 in this thread http://www.psx-place.com/threads/rebug-4-81-2-and-blu-ray-remarry.14388/

Here are DRL tools for those interested. https://mega.nz/#!uUA0ALwa!q-bhM-WOJ-E2Jz-pfDh9IDqtP1zgmfWkBcuB5N7wS4g
https://mega.nz/#!GNZxmLyJ!uecKmuRx9fO2BB9ICaMRxtX8oxUAyedSjKLjo4d1xBo

These are the original cfw settings files released by mysis & usable on 4.8x CFW.

Caution: NEVER attempt to install a firmware when FSM mode is activated or you will experience big trouble. Remember the that a reboot of the console isn't enough to exit FSM, it must be done explicitly either by using the "exit" lv2diag.self or the exit FSM mode link in the cfw settings.

I hope you find these few tips useful. ;)

@DrexploidHax; Hi thank you for your suggestion, i don't care for data on HDD, but i cant risk to wipe that drive
I read that maybe some files are stored in that hdd can be needed if the PS3 is stuck; and i can get the previous working stats after succesfully entering in recovery mode. so i will try with another clean hdd first.



@sandungas; It's a CECHG04 :)

@bguerville; Thank you for the detailed explanation, for the both BD they are the same.

Notice : I just noticed yesterday, that when using the "Broken BD" still don't know if it is broken, when i push the eject button, the ps3 won't turn on; but when i replace it with the working BD "100%" the eject button respond. but still cannot accept DVD.

From what i understand, the only way to do update now is using a NOBD firmware; im preparing REBUG 4.82.1 LITE NOBD CEX for update when able to kick out the ps3 from the update loop.

When succefully installed, i will swap the BD and follow the thread you gived me.
If succesfully remarry, i will go back another CFW but without NOBD

I will post the results, when done.

Thank you so much for your help.
 
Ok guys i'm stuck, i managed to get a new hdd, formated in windows, i'm able to enter to recovery using it.
But i can't do anything, trying to update from recovery to "cfw rebug 4.82.1 nobd" from usb. i'm getting an error before it's start.
Is it possible to update with CFW from recovery?
Or must i update with OFW first 4.82? i don't think it works since the BD isn't working.
Or must i update using the CFW 4.82 ferrox nobd that was installed before?

I need your help please

If you're on CFW you can update CFW no problem, and in your case going from noBD to noBD CFW is still safe, and I've installed CFW via Recovery, and nothing bad happened, although I have no clue if it's "safe" to do, it's the tutorial I followed (stupidly from PSX Hax). As for the error during CFW noBD install, I don't know what to say about that, I've never been able to get passed a PUP install error, idk if it's related to noBD or corrupted PUP or just a little meaningless error.
 
This is the error message i got when launching the update from recovery 8002f281
google it, and seems its related to hard drive issue.
I did format to hdd using windows "quick format ntfs", but it seems that i need to format it normal without quick.
I test to format it on FAT32 on diskpart, without success, im formating it in ntfs again and will see the result

Ok well there's plenty of programs for any OS including Android and also Windows, that can format a 32+Gb drive fat32 if it becomes an issue using ntfs. But it's always best to format and not quick format. A quick format is telling the drive it's blank, instead of actually deleting the contents of he drive and it being genuinely blank.
 
Ok finally, im on CFW rebug 4.82.1 NOBD now... im still using the broken BD

Can someone refer me to a tuto on how to remarry a new working BD on this CFW cuz i can't find a full tuto for "NOBD CFW"

Thanks a lot for your help

I'm giving google a check for a good tutorial on remarrying the BD, but myself have never experienced or need to use or mess with NoBD Patched CFW, and have no way of knowing wether or not the tutorial is suitable.

At a quick glance this thread looks promising and you should give it a read, but if you've already read it let me know
