PS3 RSOD Fix

Reading over at the PS3 dev wiki developers dospeidra, an0nymous, nikitis and robs have released a tool that can fix RSOD PS3's via GameOS. Also added is a method via Linux.

To Quote:

Observations about RSOD:

Seems to appear mostly on consoles with Samsung NORS (CECHL**-CECH20**)
May be caused by an error being thrown while writing to NOR (this is theory)
Mostly caused by a corrupt area of flash called VTRM

The original RSOD "fix" was actually a CFW patch to bypass the RSOD. basic_plugins.sprx was modified to ignore the error condition to allow the console to boot. While this worked, certain things like trophies still didn't work correctly.

The actual RSOD fix occurs by the VTRM area on flash being rewritten. The ability to do this is already built into the firmware, it just needs to be called.

Steps from GameOS:

Install the NORSOD patched PUP so that you can boot.
Install the rsodfix.gnpdrm.pkg package, and run it from XMB
Run rsodfix.
Reboot and install whatever firmware you want

Steps from Linux:

ps3dm_vtrm /dev/ps3dmproxy init

If you would like to show your support for this, please donate to this wiki.

For now this method requires the use of the OtherOS PUP file provided.

Download: 355-NOTHEROS-RSOD.PUP

Download: rsodfix.gnpdrm.pkg

Can someone help me out here. I was able to get the RSOD fixed using this fix, but for some reason its not letting me update to 3.55 OFW It keeps saying no applicable data was found. Its asking me to use anything from 3.55 or up so I dont understand. I would keep it the the way it is but it wont let me play games without the use of thropys. Anybody? Do I have to use CFW because I used this Fix?
