Custom Coldboot Question

[nitro67]

Can anyone tell me why I can't seem to replace my coldboot with a custom one... I've tried the coldboot installer and I keep getting the "no files found" error and below is a log from Filezilla trying to replace it by FTP.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks.

Try using comgenie's file manager along with dev_blind (both found in the homebrew collection in my sig) then it should work. This is just troubleshooting

[nitro67]

Tried that and still can't seem to write to the dev_flash... Thanks for the quick response though...

[master737373]

did you run dev_blind first? what you write to isn't called dev_flash0, its called dev_flashrw or something like that, idr the exact name

[nitro67]

Yes I did run dev_blind first but I also do not have the dev_flashrw folder available...

What firmware are you on? Try FreeFlash (found in the link in my sig). If THAT doesn't work, then AsbestOS installer and/or BootOS will make a folder that'll let you write to dev_flash0, don't know the folder name though

when you run dev_blind you need to write to dev_blind folder, what FTP app you use on the PS3? multiMAN will work blackb0x I believe won't see it

Edit: when using Coldboot Installer the files need to be on a USB drive in a folder named "coldboot" (all lowercase, no quotes) in the far right USB port (closest to BD drive)

FREEFLASH = dev_fflash
AsbestOS/BootOS = dev_rwflash

I use axtux mod of openftp with filezilla to write to my nand as it mounts my nand from within the ftp app. Give it a try works great for me on my phat and slim playstations.

I use Core FTP Pro never had a problem with any of the backup managers or PS3 FTP apps, I'm sure Core FTP Lite would work the same (free version)

Thanks for the correction
