Ok. I seem to have totally messed up my PS3. Maybe someone can help? If not, it's my own fault. I'll put it down to experience.
I have an old 60Gb PS3 - CECHG03. A year or 2 ago I upgraded it to KMEAW's 3.55 cfw and was running Multiman with no problem. Over the past few weeks I've been thinking of bringing it up to 4.2.1 using REBUG. Yesterday I decided to go for it after reading up on loads of different forums. I got to 4.2.1 really easily, upgraded Multiman to 2.0 as well but found I couldn't run any games from the external hard drive that I was able to run before. I kept getting the message "game quit: no request event". I thought I'd messed up somewhere so thought I'd use the '999' downgrader to get it back to 3.55. I did that which seemed to work. Then I decided to try the upgrade again. I tried upgrading through the dashboard and through recovery menu, but both times after it had copied to hard drive and tried to install it I'd get the message "the data is corrupted (8002F157)". I even tried reinstalling the official built in firmware thinking this would bring it back to factory status, but it still has the REBUG dashboard and still gives me the 8002F157 error on any fw uprade I try.
Should I just bin it or is there hope for it (and me!) yet?
