I have included a small sample of VALID patches for you to use, but you may have to source more yourself. Note: If your controller does not sync in safe mode, this program is not for you! You have a southbridge/usb port issue. How do I know I need it repaired? Well if your controller does not sync anywhere but the safe mode menu then your module is corrupted.
Hello! This program, a micro version of my PS4 NOR Validator, is designed solely to validate and repair the WiFi/BT module of your PS4. To quote from BwE on the PS4 WiFi / BT Patcher & Extractor v1.00 release: This firmware known to be corrupted and causing the DS4 controller fail to connect to PS4 console wirelessly.ĭownload: BwE_PS4_WiFi-BT_Patcher.rar (12.3 MB) / BwE PS4 NOR WiFi/BT Patcher & Extractor (Latest Version) / GIT / PS4.BT_ / GIT PS4 BT_WIFI Patcher is a simple tool to repair Torus Firmware (Bt/Wifi related). In related news, pearlxcore ( Twitter) also made available a PS4-BT_WIFI-PATCHER which is a PS4 Patcher for BT_WIFI (TORUS) firmware. He also states on their Downloads page and Profile that he's currently working on a BwE PS4 NOR Validator as well for those interested.
Thus making your PS3 a permabrick.Since his previous work on the BwE NOR / NAND Patcher and BwE NOR Validator updates for PS3, developer of has made available a BwE PS4 WiFi / BT Patcher & Extractor v1.00 followed by a v1.3.3 / v1.3.4, v1.3.5 update and more revisions below for PlayStation 4 developers. If you flash over the info needed for a valid dump, it will never be recovered. and if you used Rogero v3.7 follow the dehashing steps.ĭon't do any flashing until you get the clip on good, and get a valid dump.
Wait for about 30 seconds for the PS3 to shut off by itself. Put the USB stick in the right most USB port and press power on the PS3. Now put this lf by itself on a FAT32 formatted USB stick. Wait for about 4 or 5 minutes for the firmware to install, and the PS3 to shut off by itself. Replace the downgrade dongle with the USB stick, in the right most USB port. Put Rogero 3.55 v3.7 (RENAME TO PS3UPDAT.PUP) and this lf on the root of a FAT32 formatted USB stick. Wait for the dongle to communicate with the PS3 and the PS3 will shut off automatically. Plug PS3 back in, and press power then eject. Insert downgrade dongle into the right most USB port. Then cut the power by pulling the plug or by the power switch. Turn PS3 on and you should see the connect controller screen. If you soldered from nor tristate to GND instead, you need to remove the wire now. When it is done flashing, turn the ps3 off. Then put switch 3 down and leave the rest as they were. It will then apply the patches for you.Ĭlick here if you still cannot get a good dumpĭO NOT CONTINUE UNTIL YOU HAVE A VALID BACKUP!!! If you try to continue without a valid backup, you may flash over the info we need to unbrick the console. Then drag n drop the dump onto PS3_Nor_Dump_Auto_Patcher_v0.01.exe.
To patch it, put the bkpps3.bin in the folder with PS3_Nor_Dump_Auto_Patcher_v0.01.exe. Then you can get someone with experience to double check your dump here.Īfter you get a good enough backup, you can patch it with Rogero's Nor dump patcher.
I know that guide can be confusing, also look at this guide that helped me understand how to validate my dumps. Follow this guide to validate your dumps. Or solder the e3 linker to know for sure you have a good connection. So to try and get some backups, keep switch 1 up, and put switch 3 up, the rest down. Depends on what you did, and if the important info has been flashed over. It is still possible even if you are bricked. Now you need to try and get a valid backup. Both will halt the nor and keep the PS3 on for flashing. Or you can solder a wire from nor tristate to a GND point on the motherboard. This will keep your PS3 on with the first switch up on the flasher. Solder a wire from nor tristate on motherboard to SBE on e3 ribbon cable. So to get that valid dump follow these steps:įind a pic of your motherboard here.
Or at least a good enough one, that if it is patched with Rogero's Nor dump patcher it will be good enough to install firmware in Factory/Service mode. To unbrick and you don't have a valid dump of your nor, you need to get a valid dump of the nor. Well, the answer is, you can still get a valid dump from your bricked PS3. I know your probably thinking "but my PS3 won't turn on" or "but my PS3 is bricked, how can I get a valid dump?" The truth is you cannot unbrick without a valid bios backup. This is a guide for those that have bricked their PS3, and don't have a valid bios backup.
How to unbrick w/E3 flasher, without a valid backup bios (dump) FURTHER MORE DEPTH FIX, will be made by me soon.
