Are you using 4.85.1 Lite Rebug? It should work regardless what version as long as it's Rebug. Make sure you resized the flash before attempting to install petitboot, and make sure you are installing the correct version of it, NAND or NOR depending on what console variation you have.
I'm on 4.85 Rebug, and yes i resized flash before, i'm using NOR which is for my console CECH 2504A andi don't wanna install RR just boot in live
It should work then, i see no reason for it to not work properly. Personally, i've never used 4.85 or a "Lite" version of Rebug so that could be the cause of it. You could try downgrading to 4.84.2 REX Rebug and then attempt resize flash and install petitboot again.
Tried to go back but get an error on XMB, and if i try to downgrade via recovery mode it asks for min 4.85, but QA Flags enabled so I should be able to downgrade without extra step (?)
If QA flags are enabled, then it shouldn't say a minimum of 4.85, it being a slim like mine, should have a minimum FW version of at least 3.40 when the QA flag is enabled, but no, if it says 4.85 then you can't downgrade. Try disabling, restarting and then re-enabling QA Flagging.
I did it now, and still same, even intalledd the qa flag toggle pkg and seems like i can't enable qa flags, becaus that pkg should make 2-3 beeps sound on my ps3 if it enabled it succesfull, but it doesn't , so idk what else to do
Only other thing i can think of is make sure "Skip all ACL Checks" is enabled in the Rebug Toolbox under LV1 Patches as its needed in order to boot OtherOS.
ye that's enabled, so basically QA Flags not working ( no possible to downgrade) and OtherOS still not working
If i try to downgrade from XMB , after reboot into update system it will throw 8002F169 error, if i do it from recovery it asks 4.85 or higher
I honestly don't know why neither QA or OtherOS is functioning properly, i've never encountered or seen anyone with this problem before. Only other thing i can think of is wait until a REX or D-REX version of Rebug is released for 4.85, if that ever happens.

But in terms of Java, I haven't unfortunately used it at all on a PS3, I think the architecture of the PS3 is PowerPC or PPC for short. You could try looking for java packages for that architecture if that helps. If you can't find anything I'll try having a look myself in the morning.

Is there any message displayed when you select Automatic Partitioning?
Yes, it says " warning: the resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance".
Thats fine, happens to me too, simply press Automatic Partitioning, After it's said the warning message, choose "Use Current Partitions" and it should work.
I just tried it, it didn't work :/ I'm gonna format the hdd on windows and reinstall dex and try again.
Are you sure you installed the patched firmware i included, then selected "Restore PS3 System" in Safe Mode? The only reason i can think of why it's not working, is because the "create_hdd_region.sh" looks for a section of the hard drive that is allocated for OtherOS++ and creates the necessary partitions in order for it to work, and if it fails, means there's no allocated space reserved for OtherOS++.
