PS3 DEX bricked with a CEX CFW [english]

Hello,
I´ve a made a PS3 CEX to DEX conversion and instaled 4.21DEX to a friend. After some weeks he tried to convert to CEX and he downgraded to Rogero 3.55DEX and then instaled 4.30 CEX CFW and the game bricked (turn off after 5 secs).
I have a dump of the NOR 3.55 CEX CFW (before the CEX to DEX conversion) and EID0 backup.
I tried to flash the backuped NOR and Backuped NOR patched (with norpatcher) and downgrade process, both didn´t work. I´m using e3 flasher.
How to unbrick it?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Jenipapo,

Sounds like the QA Flaggs were not activated when your friend was updated to 4.30 CEX.

The first time you've installed CFW was it with Flasher? Maybe you have a bad dump and this will cause a brick when you try to put it back.

It basically says, the dumps are not a 100% trustworthy using clips and cheking the dumps after with the E3 Nor Dump Checker V1.0r, FlowRebuilder, BwE_NOR_Validator, etc. The best way is soldering the infectus, E3 and all this stuff to the nor or nand.

This is valid for all flashes, check it manually and sorry, this will be in Spanish:

820 <- metldr metldr..........
FC0000 <- bootloader_0 ../KËž.$(´OÒù?¼C <- puede variar. datos vitales a tener en cuenta ( en las Nor que es el bootloader, direccion 0xFC0000. y en hexadecimal empieza por 00 00 2 , y la linea 0xFC0010 tambien empieza igual. Si esto falla tambien se jodio.
2F000 <- eEID .......Ð........
3F000 <- cSID .......p........
EC0000 <- cvtrm SCEI ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ ( longitud 40000) creo que tambien son validos los que empiezan por .... ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
En las Slims o Fat con NOR, el VTRM empieza en EC0000, y puede empezar por "....ÿýÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ" o por "SCEIÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ", la longitud del VTRM es de 40000 y encuentras la cadena VTRM en la posicion EC4004 y tambien en la posicion EE4004, si falla algo del VTRM se jodio


Maybe your friend will have a new Paper Weigth because until today there is no way to fix it. Maybe in the future someone will have an idea [idea] Sorry.

P.D: It could be that this is not your problem, start checking the dump :) if all is correct, start from 0 with CEX.
intenta meter el dump que sacastes antes de dex con el e3 parcheando con el v2 de dospiedras .
My dump is OK. I´ve compared my e3 dumps with another dump from Multiman using NorInspector e they are the same.
The problem was that the guy instaled 4.30 CFW CEX in a 3.55 DEX console.
Sack, first time the game came for me was with 3.55 Kmeaw (CEX), I just convert it to 4.21 DEX (OFW). I didn´t instaled the CFW on it.
I´ll try what LUCKYMAS said and post the results.
If some some had an idea, I´ll be glad.
