Thanks flatz & tthousand

No danger in running this. The danger comes from trying to CEX2DEX your console; which it says right there in the article, that this is what the tool is used for. Or, you can use it to simply obtain your root key file. Whatever you want.

nice, now life for people who want a DEX becomes easier....

[DDay]

Great! Updated Nor console tut with this tool!

Not having to install linux makes cex2dex quick and easy, I hope to see a lot more people on dex soon as of now the only drawback is no dvd/blu ray playback.

[frettafrunz]

Can someone do a new guide for CEX2DEX from scratch? I tried to read some tutorials but I don't clearly understand which parts I can now skip thanks to this new tool. I understand that now most of the hassle is gone, but I'm not 100% on how to do this properly.
Also, is there a tutorial for starting game backups using a DEX console?

[pink1]

@frettafrunz in the tut from DDay's post above mine jump down to "Unicorns!" after running this app.

[frettafrunz]

OMG this easy? Right now I'm on vacation, I'm gonna try this as soon as I get back. Unicorns!
(Another little noob question for you, since you were so kind to answer: now that I don't need to use linux, do I have to downgrade or can I just use my old and trustworthy 3.55 kmeaw to fire up the *.NORBIN file?)

[pink1]

Just use you'r 3.55 kmeaw everything should work just great for you. I missed the part about backups, the games that work with multiman will still work the same on cfw 3.55 dex new games need to be put on a usb hdd formatted for the BD emulator and install an update for the game, I use 4.20 dex to play the games like that.

ps. If you get stuck let me know I'll try to help in any way I can, that goes for anyone that will be willing to help the next guy with his problems.

[frettafrunz]

Kudos man, gonna let you know, thanks for the help!

New simple DEX tut:
Dump old flash in multiman: To dump flash: mmOS->Select any file->Open in HEX viewer->[SELECT]->[START]->DUMP LV2(NO)->DUMP LV1(NO)->DUMP FLASH(YES)
Use eEID_RKDumper.pkg to get your eid_root_key and run it through CEX2DEX with your original dump to make a DEX dump
Then press x twice on the DEX dump in multiman to install it, reboot and install a DEX update................PROFIT.
I just tested this way on my NOR slim and it took under ten minutes, YAY

[wartutor]

ok haven't seen anything about this but does it work for nand consoles

[kronikings]

yeah, is there a tut like the one in the link above posted by dday but for NAND consoles? in that tutorial he said it was only for NOR

Same exact thing on nand.

[kronikings]

ok so I got my rootkey, i renamed it to dump and i copied it to the CEX2DEX folder, i also loaded my flash file and dump file. I hit the CEX 2 DEX button, i renamed the file and I copied it to USB, opened multiman and double clicked on it. I got a yes no promt and clicked yes, i get "the file you provided is not compatible with your system"

??

[ahou]

You named it *.EID0.NANDBIN, right?

[kronikings]

yes i did

Will this work for me if Multiman says my system is: Firmware 3.55 [SC-8 | Hermes] but my system in the main menu says Version 3.56?

[SlowGrind]

It didn't take long to make this an easy process. Thanks for all the hard work going into this.

[Shaitan]
