using QA Toggle on 3.55 DEX OFW

[joe miller]

Hi all,

With everything that's been going on lately, I've been thinking of going back from DEX to CEX, but before I rewrite my original NOR CEX FLASH, I can't get QA Toggle to work, neither on 3.55 DEX OFW nor on Kamel's 3.55 DEX CFW.

It won't run at all on Kamel's CFW, and on 3.55 DEX OFW it'll just give me a white flash with no beep. And then the button combination while hovering 'Network Settings' won't trigger anything. No USB device connected.

Any suggestions? Or is it just that I'm a retard and missed the part when someone explained you can't toggle QA on DEX?

Thanks to anyone who answers this!

Hey Joe, I came across the same problem, but gave up when I couldn't figure it out. Then I was trying to figure out how to retrieve my eid0 root key and ended up following this small tutorial below to put my machine in a sort of hybrid cex/dex state, while in that mode I not only retrieved my eid0 root key but was able to use the QA_toggle.pkg and saw the eddy viewer thing and all when i did the button combo at Network Settings.

Note: These are not my instructions, I take no credit.

1- Since you are already on itskamel dex 3.55, install FactoryServiceModeV2.pkg (I was using Rogero's 3.55DEX w/Peek & Poke, but you have to use itskamel's DEX3.55, Google it to find a copy)
2- Copy rogero FW v3.4 and lv2diag.self to the root of a usb and connect it to the most right usb door on your PS3(I used the lv2diag.self from Pepe's tutorial here. IMPORTANT: Rename the rogero FW to PS3UPDAT.PUP)
3- Start FSM. it will beep and return to xmb. then start FSM again and let it do its job (Again, pepe's tut has links to FSM)
4- After all done, PS3 will turn off, remove usb, delete files, but rename lv2diag_exit.self to lv2diag.self.
5- Connect again to ps3, and turn on PS3, it will turn on and off in 4/5 seconds.
6- Remove usb, and turn on PS3, it will now turn on normally, and you'll be on a partially DEX/CEX CFW ROGERO v3.4
7- Now install multiman 4.03, only on that works on it, and install eid_rkdumper.pkg (Google to find the files)
8- Start dumper, ps3 will beep and reboot.
9- Go to multiman, and get your file at dev_hdd0/tmp and copy it to a usb
10- Do what you need to convert your dex to cex nand, im still trying to do it

Hope this helps.

You can ignore steps 7-10 if you don't need those things, but don't forget to go back to back to 3.55dex cfw afterwards.
