Hey NGU,

If many of you guys didn't know, for the past month or so my PS3 has been bricked after flashing the CEX EID0.NORBIN in Multiman CEX, and causing my console to brick.

I researched this and thought i'd have to buy an E3 Flasher for almost $100, but all you need is a USB Dongle with the payload to go to factory mode which you can pick up for $20. E3 Card Reader Recommended.

The Signs of this brick is 5 double beeps which are very fast and turn off after 3 seconds with no video output.
Example Here:

What you will need for this tutorial:
- USB Dongle with the payload to go to factory mode (ex: E3 Card Reader)
- USB Pen formated as FAT32
- 3.55 CEX Firmware PUP with prepatched lv1 (no syscon hash checks) (In The Download Provided)

Video Tutorial Is Available Here Made By Me:

1. Format USB PEN and put lv2diag.self file 1 also put PS3UPDAT.PUP in the root of the PEN (the 2 files must be in the root of the USB PEN and nothing else)

On the PS3
2. Switch off ps3 from power cord
3. Put the USB Dongle with service mode payload in the right usb port
4. Put power cord in the console
5. Press power button followed quickly with eject button, the console should boot, and then reboot. (if the beeps continue it's normal)
6. Remove service dongle
7. Put the USB Pen with the 2 files inside in the right usb port
8. Power on the PS3. If all went well you shall see the ps3 reading stuff in the usb pen, and the hard drive of ps3 working, wait for the console to power off.
9. Remove the USB PEN (you will have an UPDATER_LOG.TXT in the Pen with the details)
10. Power on the PS3
11. At this point you can check if the console boot up and its inside factory mode (red square box in the bottom left of the screen)
12. Power off the PS3

On the computer
13. All you need now is to get out of Factory Mode, so put lv2diag.self file 2 in a FAT32 blank USB Pen

On the PS3
14. Put the USB Pen in the right port with the file already on it
15. Power on (the console will power off automatically)
16. Power again and should be ok

It will remain jailbroken as long as you don't install an official firmware.

Edit: if its a typical CEX to DEX conversion brick:

1. Boot ps3 into recovery mode
2. select update system
3. Install You must login or register to view this content.
4. Once on downgrader, install a CEX cfw of your choice.

OR

1. Boot ps3 into recovery mode
2. select update system
3. Install You must login or register to view this content.[DOWNGRADER+DEX].PUP
4. Once on downgrader, install a DEX cfw of your choice.


One is CEX, the other is DEX. Your ps3 will take one or the other depending if your conversion was successful or not.
