Kiosk to retail with mfw builder

[dats]

hi,
not sure i this is the correct place to ask but..
Ive got a early backward compatible ps3 that has 4.89 sex/kiosk firmware.
Ive tried using old versions of mfw to create firmware to convert it to a retail console.
I get "the data is corrupted" error when trying to flash it. Is it because I dont have the 4.89 keys in mfw builder?
any help would be awesome

i moved your post to a new thread so more people will read it (hopefully).

I found another version of ps3mfw and selected the sex to retail flags.
The PS3 accepted it(no error message while flashing ) but after reboot the firmware was still 4.89sex.
So back to the drawing board. Does the mfw builder need 4.89 keys to work?
Does anyone know if u can do ps3xploit on sex/kiosk firmware, and not brick it?

You sir have made my day.
After a few attempts your video helped me and now seems to be a retail machine.
I even reflashed again afterwards with official cex nonmoded firmware to prove it is a 'normal' machine.
Thankyou so much
