.... odd indeed. My chip has been working like a champ

[snipersnake]

maybe it was due to the singapore flash

lets not pretend that dms is the only chips that die, lets keep useless comments like juventini's somewhere else, and lets listen to experienced installers like EspeN or myself. remove the chip, clean up and reinstall. if it doesnt work then confirm the chip is dead by swaping in another dms4. if you still think its flash related then ground this pin to force the chip to use the factory firmware

thanks man, maybe i will try that

Guess what. I have this same issue with my very own V12 DMS4 Pro. I havent used it in a long time and went to upgrade it to toxic os 0.41. It kept giveing me the retry error over and over. I then reset the console and get a completely red screen. If I tap rest 3 or 4 times I can get to the Sony browser but back-ups dont work, dev1 mod doesnt work, toxic os 0.41 cd-r wont boot, chip wont disable. Damn DMS4's are always a pain in the ass and this time its on MY CONSOLE. And I can make any shitty comment I want hyper cuz I am a professional installer.

OK rant over.... the picture you posted Hyper .... does that arrow point to the via or the round pad? And your saying that grounding that will force the DMS4 to use the factory flash? Well thats good to know. Then what I flash the chip again with toxic, turn off the console and remove the short?

Use the round pad.Connect it to ground and flash the chip with toxicos. Don't forget to remove the connection after you finished the flash.
