I'm not sure I'll be able to boot 3.55 because I haven't toggled the QA flag yet.http://www.nextgenupdate.com/forums...ass-firmware-people-broken-no-bd-drive-7.html
Here's a tutorial I found. It should work.
That model is hit and miss already you may just get an unhackable unit. Not because it was modified by gamestop (they simply don't/can't do that.) But because it's just one with the new metldr2so I placed a pickup order for a 250 ps3 slim will get it today I can see one of 2 things (well 3) happening which will screw things up 1) flat out refuse the sale due to the hack(I mean come on why get a 250 slim than say a 500 if it's only for gaming?) 2) not have updated the GS site as sold out for that store or 3 it's refurbed in a way by gamestop to be an unhackable 25x or even a 3x
Use the 4.82 no BD firmware in place of the 3.55 firm. The guide just walks you through the basic process that should fix the issue. If nothing else try patching a copy of OFW yourself with MFWbuilder.

I'd been trying with several firmware's and it kept getting stuck on "Checking... Please wait." so at this point I'd essentially given up on it working so I left to go out for the night, got back in later (A few hours) and it had finished checking, managed to install Overflow 4.82 NoBD
Thanks for your help
Make sure to rename the file to PS3UPDAT.PUP caps and all.so i used the exploit and it shut down my ps3, so now i'm trying to install ferrox and it says no applicable update file found. do i have to run it again?
edit: i had to put it in /PS3/UPDATE
Basically, the vast majority of the settings in the Toolbox and Rebug Settings are unavailable.Someone know the difference between Rex and rebug Lite?
I know it means lite is based on CEX only, and Rex based on CEX+DEX, and as 4.82 DEX is not available yet they did a quick CEX only release.
But I didn't find a quick info (without comparing both released pages) telling what's missing in lite compared to Rex.
Is it better to use the Rex 4.81 with syscon 4.82, or 4.82 Lite?
You don't need DEX for that. It works in CEX mode. Just need to activate the setting in the debug settings menu and make sure you are set to rebut mode. I forget if there is another option or not that needs to be changed. Xmb behavior or something maybe. It should be set to debug if I remember correctly but its been forever since I last set that upBasically, the vast majority of the settings in the Toolbox and Rebug Settings are unavailable.
In fairness, the vast majority of these are of no use to end users. I pretty much only stick with DEX because I need the fake save owner feature.
Really? I couldn't find even find the option to enable Debug Settings in the toolbox when using Lite.You don't need DEX for that. It works in CEX mode.
