PS3 How to Remarry BlueRay Drive on CFW PS3 Step by Step

Louay - thank you for the great guide. I followed the first method. Mine did say that it had failed to marry, but I nervously upgraded to Evilnat's 4.87 that didnt have blue ray fix keeping my fingers crossed that it wouldnt fail because of the blu ray drive. Luckily it succeeded and I popped in a PS3 game and it works! So thank you!!

However - I cannot get a regular blu ray disc to read on the XMB. It keeps telling me "this is an invalid disc (80029903). I've tried the Multimax fix as noted in the thread but that tells me it doesn't look like there is any issue.

Can someone point me in another direction of something I might try?

Thank you.. I'm actually going to try this today when I get home from work. I think that's what my issue is. I don't have the correct CFW installed. I'm also at 4.87 NoBD.

Question: If using the new exploit process is there anything needed to downgrade or would the 4.85 CEX (LOUY) directly install over 4.87? Completely new at this so sorry if this is a ridiculous question.

Make sure QA IS ENABLED IN REBUG TOOL BOX, IM PRETTY SURE :D or you may need QA enabler

I have the exact same problem as Cirial.

Yugonbblit, you mention that you used 'normal rebug firmware" to again remarry the BD drive. Where might I be able to obtain the firmware that you mention in order to perform the remarry again?
Appreciate your help! Thanks in advance!
 
Okay never mind!! **Update** !!SUCCESS!!
The drive can now read all media!

If you're getting the "This is an invalid Disc" (Error 80029903) when you try to play a Blu-ray disc, See below and what worked for me

  1. Enable QA Flag in the Rebug toolbox
  2. Install CFW REBUG_4.84.2_REX
  3. If you have an existing EID Root Key on your flashdrive, delete the file
  4. Enable "Rebug mode" in Rebug toolbox
  5. Re-run EID Root Key Dumper
  6. Enable Factory Service mode and remarry the drive (It will say success this time)
  7. Exit FSM
  8. Insert Blu-ray disc and let it rip!
the above procedure worked for me so I hope this helps someone else.
Good luck!

And thank you Yugonibblit for the push in the right direction.

Your welcome I had hoped that my suggestion worked for everyone its been a while since I remarried a drive but I do remember that cluster Fook of a problem :D
 
Hey, So I see that a version of this guide still works today, maybe someone can help me out.

I have a PS3 with firmware 4.88 so I installed EVILNAT noBD and followed the second method (since the first one uses a firmware too early). It doesn't come with the eid_root_key_dumper.pkg used in step 2, so I used the one mentioned from flat_z (found here: https://store.brewology.com/ahomebrew.php?brewid=228) by putting it on my USB drive. I then did what step 3 said:
  • 3-Plug USB in most right usb port then open EID Root Key Dumper, console will stay black screen few seconds and than reboot
except the screen stays black. I waited probably fifteen-twenty minutes with no changes before I powered off. Luckily it recovered no problem from that, but I'm wondering if anyone has advice for what I should do differently. Is there a different CFW or root key dumper I can be using?

I had the same problem. Use the 4.85 CEX (LOUY) noBD CFW. The root key dumper that comes in that toolbox works.
 
Now I'm trying to remember which CFW had the root key dumper that worked.
I think it is the 4.87

I did mine a year ago and I'm trying to remember the procedure.
It definitely was not clean. I had to use two different CFW's to make it work.

THANK YOU! downgrading worked. I ended up installing Rebug toolbox and Multiman after downgrading, and got my drive married! Yeah, it was a bit messier than the steps, but nothing too crazy. Worth it for fixing my CECHA01 :')
 
Hello,
Following the tutoriel using the linked CFW result in an error, it will fail, tryed on different consoles.
Just replace the CFW with Rebug 4.82 REX and it will work flawlessy.
Thanks for your workls.

Yep. Using a nobd firmware for remarry is a big mistake. That tutorial should be edited @STLcardsWS

You know @littlebalup I've tried many times this tutorial and never had a problem. Yeah, the final comment says it "failed" but as Louay said, it really works even with that warning. If you don't instal NoBD, you can't use the REBUG toolbox.

What would be the solution in this case If it is necessary? BTW, I mainly used REBUG 4.85/86 for remarrying.

If you plug a working drive (logic board) you can install a regular CFW even if the drive is not married yet.
So the basic procedure is:
- install new drive (logic board)
- install nobd to get ERK
- install regular CFW
- remarry in FSM
