One of my favorite scene developers Rogero has released a nifty tool for those of you downgrading and/or unbricking your PlayStation 3 consoles. This tool adds the correct patches associated to your NOR flash dumps. Be sure to take his advice when validating your dump because a invalid dump will result in a non-recoverable PS3!

About PS3 Nor Dump Auto-Patcher v0.01:

Compatible with both E3 and ProgSkeet Nor dumps.
Checking your PS3 Nor Dump if it is Byte-Reversed or Not.
Applying the correct downgrade patches depending on the Dump type detected.
Eliminating the need to byte-swap the dump in order to apply the patches.
Making the patching easier rather than using several programs to do it.

N.B:
Always make several Nor Dumps and Validate your dump properly before proceeding to patch it and Flash it back. This Link has all the info needed to validate the Dump --> PS3 DevWiki, Validating flash dumps. A Ps3 without a valid Nor/Nand Dump is non-recoverable.

Attachment 36987I did as instructed. It said my dump was byte-swapped. It was then successfully patched. This is how it was supposed to be done??

So basically, if I had not patched it and flashed it as it is on my PS3, it would have bricked my system? This is what is meant?

To Downgrade a PS3 you need to patch the Nor dump with Downgrade patches (what this program does for u now) then Flash it back , enter Factory Service Mode and update the PS3 with a LV1 Patched CFW --> Rogero CFW v3.4

If you flash back your original Nor Dump as is, supposing you have a valid dump with all the correct data in it, nothing happens, the ps3 works normally but not downgraded.

N.B: always make sure you make several dumps of your flash, and to validate them correctly, flashing back a bad Nor image can brick your PS3 permanently.

Oh, I see. This is required only in the event that someone need to downgrade their PS3 below the current firmware running (but only up to the version which was factory flashed, I hope I said it right.)
Having said that, my question now is, is it fine/good to go 3.4x from 3.55 where (I believe) 3.55 is better and last CFW point? What benefit do we get on 3.4 over 3.55?

No it's CEX and only PoC so it has the 3.56 and 3.60 keys but 3.60 games still don't work without patching.

I am having an issue getting this to work. Here is what I get when trying it...

***********************************
* This file is byte-reversed (E3 Flasher style) *
***********************************

Opening Files...
Error opening patch file !!

Please make sure to place the Nor Dump inside the Program's folder before you Drag and Drop.

Press any key to exit.

BTW, I do have the dump in the folder with the .Exe

Any ideas what is wrong?

EDIT: Just tried it on another pc running Win 7 and it worked fine......it must just be something that my XP is missing.
