What gives? Also what does cobra edition add?Įdit: Does anyone know why it fails so often? I've never seen a firmware update or any software really where the correct response is "just keep trying it over and over". Then I redid nand for Axxx it didn't shut off automatically (froze up, held power for 20 sec) and skipped file corruption checking this time, replaced the ps3updat.pup with 4.82 ferrox standard and same shit after 73%. I turned it back on, let it do file system check for corruption due to unexpected shutdown and then went to install ferrox 4.82 w/ cobra ps3update.pup and it gives error at 70%. I cannot get this to work, always "data corrupted 8002F957" after 70-73%, I have fat 2501A used NAND method successfully, it beeped and immediately shut off. Backup your Game Saves and edat/rif files to a pendrive, external HDD or FTP to PC.Can be useful to take 1 or 2 dumps of you flash after a successful upgrade.Always a good idea to dump your eid_root_key (keep personal).This allows yu freely move up and down CFW versions without hassle. It's good practice to QA Flag your console.Turn off internet connections when updating CFW's.( Wifi and Ethernet cable.).Usually brick reports happen the first 24-48 Hours. Allow the community to conduct test as some CFW do not get proper testing and even ones that do some models can act differently so its best to give it at least a 3 day wait. DO NOT RUSH to install a CFW / MFW Release. If you do not own a HARDWARE FLASHER or have the means to recover from a possible brick.Disable any Spoofs, if you were previously on a CFW and it had a SPOOFER running, disable it before installing a new CFW.( see tut) - to be sure you do not corrupt your PS3 Console FLASH and cause a console brick. It will install the official firmware (As like above the PS3 Update on the disc will be in backups as well) UN-MOUNT actual game.This really important for example, cobra systems with webMAN, because webMAN mounts last played game on boot.MAKE SURE THERE IS NO GAME DISC INSIDE THE CONSOLE, (Less of a risk on 4.82 OFW hacks, but still important to know the DISC takes priority over USB on updates,).GENERAL Tip's & Task to perform before a CFW Install:
