Have you actually read the rebug.me release page for REX 4.82? If you had, you would know that webman is no longer included. I guess you must also have missed the poll where Joonie was asking Rebug users opinion about webman integration last year.
In REX 4.82, you need to rely on the original way to start your plugins with Cobra ie boot_plugins.txt, like it was before wMM integration.
Also between wMM 1.41 & 1.47 there is a huge gap. Prepntfs was completely removed from webMAN-MOD, in order to use the new libntfs sprx.
Anyway it appears the system got messed up during your attempts to get wMM to work.
You should simply have installed Rebug REX 4.82, then the Rebug Toolbox in order to enable Cobra, then the webMAN-MOD update pkg & finally run the wMM installation from XMB. That is all.
Now I have no idea why the console freezes in every recovery mode option.
Maybe a problem with the hdd & I would suggest reformatting it.
Take it out of the ps3 and on PC wipe the disk with 00s then reinsert it. The system will ask for the REX 4.82 PUP to reinstall the cfw (if you are still in CEX mode).
Of course, keep in mind that as long as you cannot start the XMB, the only way to backup some data from your disk is to use the eid_root_key & ps3 hdd reader on PC.
If you don't have an eid_root_key, you will loose all the data on your hdd when you reformat.
If you do have the eid_root_key, I recommend being careful not to agree to the Windows prompt that will pop up when you connect the ps3 hdd. If you agree, Windows will write enough data to the disk to ensure that you won't be able to extract any data from the ps3 disk anymore.
Hi. Thanks so much in advance for replying & so much advice!!
HOPEFULLY I CAN FIX it! i think i got a eid root key dump the other week
But i dont know yet how to do it, so i will be so careful from here & watch vids and tutorials and get advice first ... so as in not to wreck my chances of getting that hard drive starting again,
or at least backed up what i need off it.
Kudos and many thanks to all the devs too & all the work that lets us enjoy releases,
and get so much enjoyment out of our ps3s.
So...yes i did read the release notes for 4.82..
idk why maybe i was up late doing it, overworked in regular life etc,
but i thought i read that wm was still integrated & there was a new wmm avail too,
so i must have read wrong. But anyway,
beside the point of if i read release notes it right or not...
it wouldnt have mattered either way if webman included or not,
as i did all steps the normal correct logical way (to best of my knowledge anyway lol).
Initially there wasnt anything i think i did wrong with the update etc
1)dl & update to 4.82 rex from 4.78 rex
2)dl & update to latest rebug toolbox (i already had latest installed anyway)
3)make sure to be in dex menus mode for things like fake save file owner i use etc
4)run some games, run some managers check it all working, examine settings etc.
5)noticed cobra wasnt running, enabled it in toolbox
6)noticed webman plugin wasnt loading at startup, even with cobra enabled.
7)webman wouldnt run, so installed wmm 1.47.09
8)now it seemed to work, but noticed the screen of options not working.
9)think i ran a game or two and it worked (mostly running from xmb or iris lately so not sure)
10)noticed in webman options i still had 1.41 displayed (even though installed 1.47.09 pkg)
so yeah seemed to have everything working good enough and in order to keep enjoying my machine, but then may have done something like ran webman mod 1.41 package,
as it seemed to be after the update to 1.47.09 looking like webman was bit messed up and a combo of both versions!? and then bam..... hanging on reboot.
It could have been something else like selecting some wrong debug options,
but far as remember i wrecked it playing with webman.
have not had problem in past when updating 2 times on this hdd,
other than having to set some options again or some fiddly little things...
i was hoping for a clean easy 4.82 rex update and continue using everything as normal.
Wishing i didnt even update now, i just wanted to go online else i had no reason at all.
so it sucks to be me.
IF IT HELPS... I think i made a eid root key dump just before this crash. !!
1- Just got to work out how to correctly use it... (Sorry 4 noobness! havent had to before)
2 - Also have a nor flash export to file on my usb
3 - an AUTOP0.000_6, payload.test, xregistry.sys on usb (whatever they may be?)
4- I will try what u suggested ... to try retrieve some data on pc (after alot more looking into it)
Anyway, any further help from anyone in the know much appreciated, can move off this thread if people wish
& create a thread someplace else?? Say the word!. Also... Thanks again in advance !!!
