[iainho00]

hi, i'm using ps3break v1.2 on ofw 3.41 tried the newer update v1.71 and it put my ps3 into service/factory mode. i've tried putting the lv2diag.self file on a root of a usb stick but this doesn't work.

i've tried swapping hard drives still no joy can anyone help?

Are you trying to downgrade or get out of service mode? if your trying to get out of service mode you need the lv2diag.self (file 2) on the flash drive.

i'm trying to get out of service mode and i've already tried the lv2diag.self (file 2) on a usb stick but it doesen't work.

did you get the get the downgrader files? what does your ps3 do when you use just that file on stick?

[iainho00]

yes the ps3 just powers on as normal.

You must first put in USB on the right dongle with Psgrade. Turn off power on back, turn it on, press power and eject quick. When PS3 turns off put pendrive with Lv2diag.self that same place like dongle and turn it on. It should work. If not try to do "downgrade" to 3.41 it work for me.

format the usb stick (fat32) via yur pc b4 putting the file on i had the same prob n this solved it.

if it's already in service mode then you don't have to use jb again. make sure it's in the far right port (as you look at front of ps3). also smackedgrome has a good idea... good luck.

So what's going on now? because I had the same problem and solved it.

Make sure you put it into the closest port to the BD player.
