About 4.30 DEX
4.30 DEX: Do *NOT* install this on a converted machine, it will result in a brick. There is a check on eid0(!) in lv1ldr, that will trigger a panic (fun fact: it's impossible to generate the checked data yourself, so no cex2dex without ugly patches anymore).

As always, keep in mind these PUP updates will currently NOT install on a retail PS3, and so they are intended for examination and comparison purposes only.
We have 100% confirmed that running this updater on a retail PS3 will not damage it, however, it will give the following error before the installation completes: The data type is not supported. (8002F029)
Hello, I finally got some vacation so I decided to start looking into unlocking my PS3 in order to play undubbed games, nice to meet you all....
...
Check will do more than just fun recovery. I'm Grateful for your help
there is fixes for ylod but you've had ps3 apart and reflowed etc. you could have created a problem that wasn't there. i'd strongly suggest you put a message in the forum for ps3 unbricking and downgrading service racer is the best person to talk too about this, hes busy but he wont ignore you.
Thanks for the reply.
