[RUMOR] Possible method to recover PS3 from Waninkoko's custom firmware brick

Forum member GeoCheckSum of elotrolado.net has reported on a recovery method for those who ended up bricking their PS3 after installing Waninkoko's custom firmware v3.55 (1st release). This method requires a NOR flasher, a computer with a serial port, and a Nokia USB cable (CA-121). At the current time, the instructions are incomplete; therefore, we'll keep you posted if anything else develops.



Rough translation from spanish:

After much research, we have refined a definitive and satisfactory solution for the PS3 Waninbricks.

We have made dumpend of NAND and NOR.

The result of the investigations was the discovery that a large majority of ps3 waninbrickeadas (to differentiate from other brickeos) that

using a hex editor, has found it possible to regenerate the source code of the nand, without losing the identification of the console.

Materials:
PS3 Disassembled
