check dump
https://github.com/Swizzy/PS3DumpChecker
later on it will be needed for patch dump
1) connect e3 flasher to ps3 (+ translate point)

2) change the name of the memory image from "dump.hex" to "bkpps3.bin"
3) patch dump with this program
4) insert the patch dump on the microSD card
5) set the switches to 1000000 (1 - it's up 0- down)
6) turn on ps3 after 1 minute "START"
7) after completing the switches you set to "000000" and "START
8) after the end, disable ps3 completely from the network. Turn it on again with soft on the usb device in the right USB port (soft in the folder PS3 / UPDATE / tu soft with the name PS3UPDAT.pup)
and install according to the instructions that will appear on the screene3 flasher

and install according to the instructions that will appear on the screene3 flasher

I don't understand this. Can you be more explicit?. Please

When I did it, I tryed to turn on in recovery mode, but never sound two bip, always restart.

Thanks.

 

[maniek6666]

I mean that when installing the software, follow the instructions on the tv screen

 

[Molaguita]

Ok, maniek6666, but when I change the memory image with my dump.hex file patched and renamed like bkpps3.bin and coompleting the proccess with switches setting to "000000", the system should let me start in recovery mode. Is correct?

Are the dumps made with the NOR Dumper byte reversed?

 

[Molaguita]

Sorry pink1, I don't know what is that, I execute PS3 Dump Checker, I accept terms and conditions, push over check image button and after ask me if I want patch this image, and obviously I select yes.

In the Dump Checker it has a box that says byte swapped. When you load your dump what does that say?
E3 dumps are byte reversed.

 

[Molaguita]

Ok, say Byte swapped: NO

 

[littlebalup]

Correct, you have to byte reverse your .hex dump in order to use it with e3 flasher.
It can be done using BWE nor validator, Flow rebuilder or PyPS3patcher

 

[pink1]

That could be your problem. Try using FlowRebuilder to byte bytereverse a copy of your dump & see if that gets you going.

Edit Didn't see @littlebalup already answered.

 

[Molaguita]

Thank you guys, I try it and after inform you.

Thank you so much.

 

[Molaguita]

Sorry guys, I make a byte reversed after or before patched?

 

[pink1]

Sorry guys, I make a byte reversed after or before patched?

No need to be sorry bud.
After patching is fine. Some tools you can do before or after.

 

[Molaguita]

Thank you so so so much.

Hey there I bricked my ps3 using the ps3xploit method- I have a slim ps3 cech 2504b which is minimum ofw is 3.60.I didn't have a valid dump .Is there a way to fix it ??

 

[DrexploidHax]

I believe not, as it says specifically to run VERCHECK.PUP if you have a 25xx model PS3, or check the date code. If it's higer than 3.56 it will brick, I haven't seen any ways to fix that problem yet.
