Bought cech-2004b from ebay, PyPS3checker gives ROS0/ROS1 Hash warnings from dump

[Fedor Wearing A Fedora]

Hello all,

My good old fat ps3 finally gave up and i've purchased a cech-2004b to replace it. Once i received the console and booted it up it i saw that it was on OFW 4.86 and that a factory reset was done by the previous owner before selling. I didn't get a reply from the seller when i asked if the console was on CFW before, so just to be sure I installed OFW twice thru the Recovery Menu (I'm beginning to think this was a dumb move). BG Toolset was able to recognize it as a CFW compatible console (min version 2.70) and i was able to dump the Flash Memory. Once i checked the dump with PyPS3checker i got the following warnings back:

******* Checks completed *******

Total number of checks = 156
Number of dangers = 0
Number of warnings = 2

Following check(s) returned a WARNING!
  009.02  ROS0 Hash
  009.05  ROS1 Hash

when checkin the specific section with warnings i saw this:

******* Checking CoreOS_region *******
009.01  ROS0 Header : OK
009.02  ROS0 Hash : WARNING!
  Size = 0x6FFFE0
  MD5 = 78A3FBB16D79CC96BD38D62967A85567
  Version = (unknown)

009.03  ROS0 unused 0xFF Filled Area : OK
009.04  ROS1 Header : OK
009.05  ROS1 Hash : WARNING!
  Size = 0x6FFFE0
  MD5 = 78A3FBB16D79CC96BD38D62967A85567
  Version = (unknown)

009.06  ROS1 unused 0xFF Filled Area : OK

So now i'm kind of stuck on what to do next, normally my dumps have 0 warnings/errors.
I know @littlebalup is the guy to go to for this kind of issues, but maybe someone else is also able to point me in the right direction. Any help is appreciated

I don't think you are using the latest pyps3checker release because if you did pyps3checker would have recognised the hashes for both ros0 & ros1 regions & you would not have had any warnings.
Time to update! ;-)

Here is the hash corresponding to both your ros regions, I just extracted it from the latest hashlist.xml in the PyPS3tools github repo:

<hash name="4.86 CEX/SEX OFW/HFW">78A3FBB16D79CC96BD38D62967A85567</hash>

Below is a screenshot of the latest hashlist.xml contents where you can see the above hash entry.

Thank you for the quick reply, you're 100% right....the version i was using was an older version. Downloaded the latest version from git and got 0 warnings/errors back. Once again thank you!
