Hacking 5.05 to 6.72 upgrade without bluray : error su-42118-6

[recgame77]

Hi

I m getting error su-42118-6 when trying to upgrade from 5.05 to 6.72 on a unit with a broken bluray reader.

Is there any talk or dev regarding a similar method with a special pkg when upgrading from 4.74 to 5.05.

Is it even possible in this case ?

Tx

@recgame77 did you figure it out? The video you linked was for fw 6.20 to 6.72. Did it work for you from 5.05 to 6.72?

Hello, I have a fat 1215 in 6.20 with damaged bd, and I arrive without a hard disk, is there any way to reinstall 6.20 on a new disk without bd?
