I think in some rare cases there is a bad flash, We have users on here with bad flash after check and who haved saved console as they had not rebooted.

So those extra steps are worth doing, maybe its only 1 in a 1000, I dont know. Maybe down to USB device, or hdd glitch or some other HW fault, download glitch with hex, idk.

I absoultely agree. There's always a chance. However, no matter how many tutorials we write or film, sometimes people have reading problems that can never be cured. On the other hand, we must rule out to see if there is any coding error that could potentially harm people who followed correct process
 
It's a nice thought in theory, but I'd advise against it for the reason @DeViL303 already provided. To add my own reason: it would not be officially endorsed by PSX-Place or the PS3Xploit team, for the reason that any misinformation on the channel would reflect badly on the site/team - which are most likely the best sources of PS3 hacking information on the internet.

It's not worth it considering the site has comprehensive written tutorials that can be digested in one's own time, written by the actual developers of PS3Xploit. I don't mean to generalise, but YT tutorials are for lazy people who can't be bothered to read. Not only that, but the content creator has often been less than thorough in their research, which they then pass off as reliable information in the videos.

Too many people on YouTube uploading half-cocked 'tutorials' for the PS3, which they know many people will be more inclined to follow instead of a written guide - the reality being that these videos often miss out crucial information and are more geared towards growing that person's YouTube channel with views, likes and subscriptions, than providing reliable information that will help the viewer without the risk of a brick or other issues arising.

Just my opinion on the matter. TL;DR The extant written tutorials are far superior to any YT video out there, and should be used primarily. Nothing wrong with a video for a visual reference, but they are not to be trusted over guides and tutorials written by people who actually know what they're talking about.


i was doing the youtube channel for the moderators and developers to use like our team the people who know how to use this stuff our team will get paid only the devs will be able to use this channel aswell as stopping people from getting banned we will also link to our important info this wil get us more people to our sites and tutorials very quikly

e.g
I want to use the exploit I go on **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) but don't know what to do we will link our youtube channel for the people who don't know what they are doing
 
Hey Devil303

I was thinking of Making a PSXPLACE Youtube Channel so everytime you guys upload its on youtube and we do have a lot of friends so making money to go towards research aint a problem

shall i make one for our Team to use

Just thought I would put this up when I saw this thread.

PSX-Place has an " Official " YouTube Channel already. But from what I can seen this is for when @STLcardsWS does posts on News Feed on the site home page and other things for the site. But its there already and has been for years ( Since 2014 ).

Also out of all the members of this site only 362 people are subbed to this page. hmmm.....

Also for anyone that didn't know that there is one for PSX-Place :D
 
I of course do not include you when I say about YT tutorials being bad, as I always enjoy your videos and find them interesting. I'm sure you didn't take it as a jab, but just wanted to be clear on it. :)

Some of the comments from this Mario guy's video:

"When there is no ps3.guide.... there is always ya boy, MrMario with a dope tutorial"
"very detailed and very professional, thank you"
"I accidentally updated my PS3 to 4.83 and i was anxiously waiting for this! Thank you so much!"
"Ok we have another problem...it's saying success now but It's freezing...What do I do bro"
"Awesome man works like a charm you was clear on directions best I have seen yet think you sir"

With YouTube, the bar is set so low. Sad to admit but as you say, this is one of the better guides on YT.

I followed his guide on two Phat PS3 and had no issues. I guess I was lucky?

  • Install HFW Twice (Only installed it once)
  • Dump for backup (Only did it on the first PS3 because it took forvever to dump 250MB to USB)
  • Flash hex patch
  • Dump again (Why do we need to dump again after we patch?) I did not do this either. Yikes!
  • Check dump is ok (Did not do this)
  • Install CFW
 
@shab Please kindly explain how you got bricked because I skip those fail-safe security steps all the time and I never got bricked since 4.82.

We are trying to rule out if there's a possible bug in the flash writer itself.

Your original post only states you followed everything but missing all the details like your ps3 model, previous firmware, whether you installed HFW or not, or which flasher version you used (NAND,NOR,HDD, or USB)

well I downloaded the HFW and installed it yesterday then I kept nagging / annoying people to help me with cfw installation so what I did was I installed HAN then Enabled it that didn't brick me then I format my ps3 deleting HAN then I reinstalled the HFW twice and turned my ps3 off then today I went on my ps3 I already had my HFW installed and I had flash4.84hex (however it was written defaultly) and I went and dumped my ps3 to usb then that failed 1st time I refreshed page and did again then both initializing exploit and dumping 16mb was successful I then went to flash writer to USB and flash wrote it
this was a successs 1st time it gave a message saying check usb for dump to check patches were successfully installed then reboot to install cfw of your choice then I went after following mr my arsehole's video (MrMario) and rebooted my ps3 I turned it off and tried turning it on and it showed a YLOD and I thought me ps3 needs new thermal paste but its bricked

Okay I get that you flashed it, so did you confirm your PS3 model was downgradable?

You could just tell us the model of your PS3.

I would like to reproduce the issue so I could confirm the brick myself before I go in-depth. (I have a HW flasher so I can easily unbrick).

I didn't use minimum version checker but my ps3 info is

ps3 Slim CECH2003A
after the brick I checkedmy USB And the dump file was there

Ok, looks like you dumped your nor flash after you patched it successfully, could you send me your dump by any chance? I'll open PM.
 
I meant I sent via gmail but you said something about a mod removing post??

Apparently you sent an OFW dump (both ROS0 and ROS1 have OFW 4.84 CoreOS) , Don't you have the patched dump ? You said you dumped it after patched it.
