PS3 Might have softbrick - need help (coldboot mod)

[rdrtnk]

Hello all, first post here.

So I've been messing with coldboot mods lately. Got them working and all but the "Sony Computer Entertainment" text was overlapping and I thought it could have been an issue with Ultimate Toolbox and my tinkering. I mounted dev_flash to dev_blind and added a .old extension to coldboot.raf and custom_render_plugin.rco expecting it to fix the issue but now the console won't boot.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

EDIT: to speed up things:
1) it's a CECHA00 running Rebug 4.85 LE
2) I can get to Recovery Mode

Not an expert here but reinstall the firmware if you can't ftp it to delete the last thing you changed should take care of it. Not sure nand are fickle beasts.

I would ask the expert here for mods. @DeViL303

The system cannot boot without custom_render_plugin.rco, you need to re-install your CFW/HFW

You could have used Ultimate Toolbox to disable the raf file. What you did renaming the raf was fine, but the rco is required for lots of stuff. If you can not fix the rco via FTP when the console attempts to boot, you will need to reinstall cfw from safe mode.
