error 8002f271, cannot downgrade

[bladerunner6]

I am having a nightmare situation,

my ps3 is phat 256mb nand based w/ 3.55 installed (interchanged between mfw/rogero 3.4 and original)

I cannot format/updated the firmware in recovery mode, I get a 8002f271 error which i think is caused by my earlier attempts to install otheros++, also I had played around with l2 patcher application (let me change to PL3 , syscall 36 etc)
and something called debug station.
the hard drive is fine. and I boot into a blue screen,

if I try psgrade dongle, I can format the drive in XMB but cannot complete the fw update (100% then error) also I cannot downgrade with l2diag.self and pup in the usb drive.

what other solutions do i have?

update , downgraded but getting error 80029962

Mostly look like a faulty HDD. Anyway, use FSM downgrade to, say, 3.41 - at least you'll catch the log which helps you find the cause.

i tried the same drive in a different ps3 it works fine,
no sector errors on pc either.

i tried the l2diag.self on the root USB but i cannot force a downgrade or get a log file. tried both recovery mode and service mode.

i used the 3.41 modified pup and plain 3.55 ofw

[RUT Dark Ronin]

You sure you entered FSM? Did you checked actually?
Also, don't forget to place your USB stick at rightmost port. If necessary files exists - DG will kick off immideately.
Anyway, check out the method of entering FSM - first. Second, try ro rebuild database from recovery - may helps in some cases.

tried several sticks formats ,

definitely in the right usb port..

service mode works with my psgrade dongle. but on warm restart wont pick up usb , i can see the usb led being read.

can i upgrade/downgrade FW without a HD in service mode?
i will try removing battery

update, I downgraded to 2.30 ,

still no luck trying to get blu ray working, I get prohibited message, I though 2.30 fw would fix BLU RAY playback?

[bladerunner6]

I have seen that entry on other logs for 256 nands...

btw i am interchanging between prohibited message and error 80029962 now.

inserted a blu ray in FSM mode did not recreate DRL files
