PS3 DEX 2 CEX: The Easy Way Without Bricking Guide

[Brenza]

guys i bricked my slim during dex to cex. now i have original psjailbreak dongle to go to fsm and i m planning to use Rogero's v3.7cfw, now is there any way tht i prevent my hdd getting wiped out don't wanna format my hdd help guys

You should write you didn't brick following my tutorial BTW you can swap the hdd with another one before you install the PUP vis FSM You can also create a RAW backup of the hdd using windows, you'll have to restore it after you install the PUP via FSM
You'll not lose any data in this way!

10) Enter in the Recovery Menu and install the original 3.55 CEX
it says there is no update data

Remove the bluray if you have one, also the PUP path must be exatly X:\PS3\PS3UPDAT.PUP <--- all capital letters

Step 1 - CFW 3.55 DEX With Retail Patched CoreOS can be installed from 3.55 Rogero DEX CFW? Or maybe i need to downgrade from 4.21 DEX using Downgrade-1 PUP and then install CFW 3.55 DEX With Retail Patched CoreOS?

if you are on 3.56- you can install my firmware directly, if you are on 3.55+ you've do downgrade to 3.55 first

Ok - there is no difference on which 3.55 DEX FW I am (Rogero, OFW, itskamel). Thanks you. Will try this tut today)

Hi, I have some kind of a big problem.

I followed your tutorial and i am now at the point where i have to install toggle qa. Problem is, it wont let me I always get the error message 80029567

any idea?

cann i do it with the one from rebugs side or is there a difference between theirs and yours?

i think the important bit is that you toggle QA, how you do it isnt as important. just make sure you do it.

don't be tempted to think it can be skipped, or the likelyness of a brick is about 99.9%

[TheDude666]

Ok What could be the reason i can not install it? As far as i know, the PS3 was never above 3.55 (except for Dex fw). So toggle Qa isn't absolutely necessary if i am see this right from Itskamel's n00b REX Guide

Step 2. Even if your console has never been downgraded I suggest you do this step anyway. Install REBUG toggle QA pkg

But I won't just try it

Other thing is, i didn't brought the ps3 to dex for myself. Could it be, that there was toggle qa set and for that reason i cant be installed?

Anyway, I cant install any PKG anymore. Installation reboot.pkg went fine and ran smooth. It did this soft reboot (thats what I think it does) and after that i tried to install toggle qa and I get the Error. If i had known that, I would have installed toggle qa before i start the installed reboot.pkg -.-

its a semi brick you can fix it with a dongle. i would have posted you the link to the guide but it appears to have vanished.

there ya go i found it

Sorry to post that much, before i get an answer.

Just as an ermegency plan. i have a Flash Dex Dump of my PS3. If there is no solution how I can go on, cant I just flash it again? In short do step 5 again just with the Dex flash?

[G Sus]

sorry ive no idea, i semi bricked mine both times going from dex to cex. luckily there is a fix for a semi brick, sadly there isn't one for a full brick.

i didn't use this guide when i semi bricked, if id had this guide i wouldn't have semi bricked.

Nice tut. By far the simplest one I found. Worked like a charm. Back on 3.55OFW from DEX 4.25.

Thanks a lot.

Don't want to rush someone but are there more ideas or something? Just not be able to shut down the Ps3 is kind of annoying

What does the Reboot.pkg do? ... after running this one i cant install any pkg, maybe there is something I can do to get it right again.
