Error codes: 80029CCA & 8002F957 (PS3 jailbreaking from OFW to CFW 4.82.2)

I tried these approaches and it's still NOT working: re-dump & change USB flash, recovery mode, use different CFWs & re-format HDD/USB flash. I'm going to try HAN approach & if it doesn't work, I'll give NOR ver. a try...

Anyone mention that you should be on 3.55 (CFW or OFW) before you go to 4.X CFW?
Or that if that unit is retail, installing DEX on it will cause the same issue you describe....

ALSO....if you updated to latest OFW...just follow the HAN guide to get rebug 4.82.2 on there.
I tried HAN install. The result is, HAN installation was successful but, on stage of ACT/IPDS dumping, the initialization fails. I retried multiple times but it didn't work at all. I've taken a picture from the screen so you can see what is exactly going on here. But somehow, an option is added after HAN installation inside game section named " Package Manager". It has a star on the beginning of its name. I send a picture of its contents too. So maybe you would know anything can be done through this option.

Homebrew is not possible with HAN, so you cannot install programs like multiman.
Now then I've tried almost every possible solution(!) [emoji27] to jailbreak my system, there is only one left way and it's NOR ver. of Ps3xploit. Despite I have a Japanese CECHA00 system and it is said to be NAND in psx-place.com website, I'm going to try to dump using NOR dumper and see what happens next. And of course, will bring it here!

IF it is an A0X Fat console... it's NAND...
If you are doing HAN, you need to install OFW 4.82 twice before you even start.
If you are on OFW 3.55, you can just install CFW (no HAN needed)
If you are on OFW < 3.55 then you need to update to 3.55 OFW then install CFW (no HAN needed)
 
You could just start over. Install ofw again then flash the hex then try installing cfw.
I did it again and it did not work. Even I tried to dump NAND through HDD but failed at initialization stage. I'm sad to see my console that is one of the very first models produced can't be jailbreaked! [emoji26]

My system is on OFW 4.82 (latest version) which is higher than 3.55. What about this?

Read carrefully and try one or both of those methods:

PS3 OFW 4.82 NAND/NOR FLASH WRITER v2.0
***** IMPORTANT DETAILS BELOW -- AVOIDING A BRICK *****
WARNING: USE ONLY THE PROVIDED flash_482.hex AS IS. DON'T PATCH IT OR MODIFY IT OR YOU WILL BRICK *****
  • Verify flash_482.hex file on a flash drive and in the selected USB slot!
    • flash_482.hex MD5: d05be52f8d21700052fbd1fc0174acae
  • DO NOT USE ON CFW (Custom Firmware) (Only Supports OFW)
  • DO NOT USE ON PS3 Models 3xxx/4xxx (aka late Slim or Superslim models), you would brick those consoles.
  • ON SLIM 2xxx Consoles, always use MinVerChck PUP to ensure that the minimum installable firmware version is < 3.60, if ever the minimum version is >3.56, using the flash writer would partially brick your console!
  • USE ONLY ON 4.82 OFW

IMPORTANT NOTES:
  • It's essential not to flood the browser memory with junk before running the exploit. The reason for this is that due to ps3 javascript core memory usage limitations we are scanning several times a small range of browser memory (a few Mb) to find some essential data in RAM, if the memory is flooded due to previous browsing then the range to scan becomes much larger & the probabilities that our data is found in the smaller range decrease dramatically..
  • So in short, never use the browser or use a homepage you cancel before running the exploit!
  • It is recommended to set your homepage temporarily to the exploit page you wish to use to ensure there is no memory flooding messing with the exploit initialization stage.

Steps:
For best results with flash writer, here are the recommended steps.
  1. Install OFW 4.82 twice on the console you wish to flash to avoid the potential corruption error during CFW installation.
  2. Open the browser & browse to the **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) website, go to the page of the exploit you need. Set the current page as browser homepage. Don't launch the exploit initialization. Close the browser.
  3. Open the browser. The exploit page will load automatically. Choose your path option.
  4. Press the exploit initialization button & wait until initialization succeeds. If it fails, follow the refresh/reload instructions on screen.
  5. Trigger the exploit by pressing the patch button.
  6. On success, load the **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) flash dumper, dump the flash memory & validate it with py checker tool. Do NOT restart the console if ever the validation tool gives you errors/warnings on both ros0 & ros1 or you risk to partially brick your console. Report your problem instead.
  7. When you are satisfied with the dump validation, restart your console & install a 4.82 CFW.

Usage Tips:
  • Try using a LAN connection or a solid WiFi connection during exploitation. A weak signal can cause problems.
  • If the exploit takes more than 5 minutes to work, reload page, browser, or restart console and try again.
  • ]If you are using a LAN connection and experience network issues, make sure all cables to router are in working order.

You are NOT 3.55 or below so the other two statements don't apply.
Use the methods listed above me by littlebaleup.
You say you are on OFW 4.82...did you install it TWICE????? if not, you are missing information you are reading.

That being said, you can install OFW 4.82 a third time if you areh't sure if you've done it twice. Then use the ps3xploit method listed above.

I performed the instruction exactly as it's stated above such as installing OFW twice. Now at the stage of NAND flashing, initialization succeeds but in patching the console is freezed for about 15 minutes at the moment, the virtual mouse doesn't move and the controller won't work (picture below). What should I do now?

true, Homebrew is not possible with HAN, but the packages can still be installed to the internal storage (/dev_hdd0/), the EBOOT will not launch though

try using the HDD method or use another flash drive freshly FAT 32 formatted
 
Guys, a BIG SPECIAL THANK for everybody who helped me through this progress, but I'm really upset to state that I totally gave up hacking my system through these methods & started to buy original discs in order to play games on my PS3. [emoji17] The reason is, as you can tell, it takes so many attempts & time to finally succeed in this process & based on the official websites disclaimer, it may cause serious damages to the system so they do not take any responsibilities. After nearly a year of hard try, I'd rather enjoying my system with lovely games [emoji6].

Hey, ich bin in einer ähnlichen Situation. Ich habe PS3 fette CECHC04 4.90 Verstehe ich richtig, dass ich ein Downgrade ohne spezielle Hardware-Tools durchführen kann? Liegt es am "Versuch", ein "Update" auf 9,99 durchzuführen, dieses "Update" führt jedoch tatsächlich zu einem Downgrade auf 3,55? Wo finde ich weitere Informationen zu dieser Methode?
Über jede Hilfe wäre ich sehr dankbar, da es als Neuling schwierig ist, Informationen zu finden.

Danke schön.

Hey, I'm in a similar situation. I have PS3 fat CECHC04 4.90. Do I understand correctly that I can downgrade without special hardware tools? Is it due to the "attempt" to "update" to 9.99, but that "update" actually results in a downgrade to 3.55? Where can I find more information about this method?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is difficult to find information as a newbie.

Thank you very much.

What do you want to do?.

There is no need to downgrade, and it van be done without using that (now obsolete) 9.99 downgrader.
