Flashed Waninkoko's CFW? Report in!

[ModIT]

I guess a thread with confirmations would be very helpfull.


Just post your model (PHAT/SLIM, Region, from which FW you updated) and if the cfw works or if it bricked your ps3.

[[C*]]

Add a poll .

It should work for everyone if Waninkoko didn't specify which PS3s it will work with, although I've read in one of the threads that there are reports of Slims bricking (possibly 3.42 and up factory ones?). Just read a guy with an MGS4 fat PS3 has bricked.

seems I might have bricked my old 80GB MGS PS3... using this CFW

waninkoko via twitter:

"I recommend updating first to OFW 3.55, then to CFW 3.55. I'm sorry for all the consoles that have died, this was unexpected :S"

I posted earlier my md5: 6EAB7F1DEEA1ED46A1DC9924FD7080B3

and i had restored to Sony ORIG 3.55 before trying this pos...
seem I cant get into recovery mode now

Too many possibilities

FW 3.15, 3.21, 3.41, 3.42, 3.50, 3.55, CFWGEO 3.55, Downgraded FW to 3.41, SLIM, PHAT, PAL, NTSC....

Ok so by now I'm sure you've all heard about the bricks caused by Waninkoko's CFW. What we should do is get as much information as we can about the consoles being bricked and the consoles that have had success. I propose the following format:

Success?: Yes/No
Model:
Date of MFR (if available)
Region (of console):
FW before isntall:
Other notes:

Example -

Success?: No
Model: Slim 250Gb
Region: EU / UK / PAL
FW before install: 3.55 Geohot
Other notes: Never Downgraded

(note: The example was made up)

Please keep other posts to a minimum, this is just a fact-finding mission.

EDIT: OK! So it would appear that the firmware ALWAYS bricks a 256Mb NAND PS3 and "sometimes" bricks a 16Mb one. It's all irrelevant now as there are better, safer firmwares out there. The moral? DON'T FLASH WANINKOKO'S FIRMWARE!

Could brick be caused by the region of the machines?
