What you will need for this tutorial:
- USB Dongle with the payload to go to factory mode (ex: E3 Card Reader)
- USB Flashdrive formated as FAT32
- 3.55 CEX Firmware PUP with prepatched lv1 (no syscon hash checks) (In The Download Provided)

Full Credit goes to BrinkerzHD for the video.


On the computer
1. Format USB Flashdrive and place the lv2diag.self file, you can go ahead and also put PS3UPDAT.PUP in the root of the Flashdrive. (the 2 files must be on the root of the USB Flashdrive, makes sure there is nothing else on the Flashdrive.)

On the PS3
2. Switch your PS3 off at the mains and remove the power cord.
3. Put the USB Dongle with service mode payload in the right most USB slot.
4. Omce you've plugged the USB in, plug the power cord back in.
5. Press the power button followed quickly with eject button, the console should boot, and then reboot. (if the beeps continue it's normal)
6. Remove the service dongle.
7. Now place the USB Flashdrive with the 2 files inside in the right most USB slot.
8. Power on the PS3. If all went well you shall see the PS3 reading the files from the USB Flasahdrive, and the hard drive of PS3 working, wait for the console to power off.
9. Remove the USB Flashdrive (you will have an UPDATER_LOG.TXT in the Flashdrives root with all the details)
10. Power on the PS3.
11. At this point you can check if the console boots up and its inside factory mode (red square box in the bottom left of the screen)
12. Power off the PS3.

On the computer
13. All you need now is to get out of Factory Mode, so put lv2diag.self file 2 in a FAT32 blank USB Flashdrive.

On the PS3
14. Put the USB Flashdrive in the right most port with the file already on it
15. Power on (the console will power off automatically)
16. Power up once more and everything should be ok.
