So I have an old Ps3 lying around and decided to make use of it again. It didn't have anything installed, also because there wasn't a hard drive in it to begin with. I then found out that you could jailbreak a ps3 with latest 4.84. So, I then dug up a hard drive and install 4.84 on the ps3. It booted up just fine. I then followed this tutorial:
I followed the tutorial as exactly as given. The problem I first began to see was that I couldn't get a reading from PyPS3Checker to check the patched dump, after install the flash.hex file to my NAND in this sense. So, I then continued with the tutorial into installing 4.84.1 REBUG REX (+ COBRA v8.01)." During the install, my PS3 now suddenly becomes the victim of the update loop know as 8002f14e. I have done extensive research into finding a solution which became the long hours of doing the following: Reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling, use a different hard drive, take apart the console and checking the BD connection, removing the circular-silver battery, dusting the whole console. I have checked the BD connection about 5 times now and the BD works just fine, there were no issues with it when the XMB was installed from before this issue. I have also taken the console apart checking everything to make sure that there were no connections left unplugged about 10 times and nothing was ever disconnected. I have tried literally everything that you could find about this error and I'm starting to think that I just seriously ruined a perfectly fine console about 20 minutes into is upbringing which I have potentially just ended. I have seen things about an E3 flasher but I'm not sure how it'd work because I soon just deleted my NAND original and patched .hex files. Is there any other way to fix this without replacing anything? Help would be greatly appreciated for those who may have an answer!
