Unfortunately there's no way (at the moment) if you're already stuck in the boot loop. Sorry for your loss, I have exactly the same model btw.
That's crazy. I'm so bummed now. Is it possible to use a flasher to get it out of the firmware loop?
I know, it's really annoying! I think you'll be in uncharted territory using a flasher, AFAIK it hasn't been done. That's not to say it's impossible though...
Understood. Man it just drives me crazy that we can't somehow make a modified update that skips the checks. This 4301 I just got is practically brand new, and it's not easy to attach a new wifi/bt module. It basically needs its own reflow. Just because of this module, this system is basically worthless
There is modified no-bd / no-bt firmware for CFW models it's just not possible on non CFW ones unfortunately.
That's exactly what I mean...if this happens to a CFWable system, then it's almost a non-issue. But since we have super slims, it's essentially a brick unless we have reballing equipment
I was just reading a little more about this (I just can't give it up):
I'm not a developer but it certainly looks like it.
Where you get the information written on the image? You must have found the schematics of the model of the motherboard, right?
Looks like a replacement voltage regulator for the one that's failed. The BT/WIFI module likely still works/worked after the initial voltage regulator failure. If it didn't, this still wouldn't be able to install firmware.
They replied to me on the post and said that the system works. I can't imagine this being done for any other reason?
I know im too late for this thread, but i can confirm: after replacing that "capacitor" or is it regulator, my cech-3xxx finished the update and was able to boot properly. Wifi and bluetooth are working. Thank you for advice @pearlxcore
