Hi Guys,
I'm kind of getting lost trying to sort out my ps3, i think it may be a total right off, but i wanted to check with you all before it is.
I haven't hacked the PS3 in ages (or used it) but the other day I got it out and it was not saving and had trophy errors. I didn't know at the time this could be caused by a bad nand.
I decided to return it to ofw 3.55 as I thought a fresh install was needed to sort it out . Did that and of course RSOD!
I then tried install a CFW on it... RSOD!
Now this is the really dumb bit, I thought I would try updating it to 4.8 OFW as I have seen this is hackable if I needed to reverse it , installs fine, RSOD!
I am only able to get into recovery menu and any FW I try to install throws up a corrupt data error.
So have I made an expensive paper weight?
I'm not going to be soldering anything or taking it apart, I would rather get another console.
So can be fixed by software and if so ?
Any help greatly appreciated and if I get it working I'll chuck £5 via paypal to the suggestion that helped as a thank you.
Cheers
