In order to fit onto the chip, the edges of the NAND clip needed to be trimmed. CECHA01 flashing usingР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В a Teensy and a NAND clip To use a Teensy you need to follow the 3.3V Teensy conversion guide. Instead of buying another clip I decided to try to use the alternate soldering points on the board, since they were much larger and easier to solder to than legs of a chip. I flashed theР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В CECH-2101A after I had already flashed the CECHA01, so I already had the Teensy. A $30 clip seemed like a reasonable price to pay to avoid spending a lot of time soldering. I used a NAND clip because the CECHA01's motherboard requires soldering directly onto the legs of both of the NAND chips. I decided to go with the Teensy because it appeared to be the most reliable, and least expensive flashing method for NAND consoles. For my CECHA01 I used a clip, and for my brother's CECH-2101A, I used alternate soldering. This can either be done using a clip, or through soldering directly to the chip, or by using alternate soldering points. To make the dump you will need to connect the flashing device to the firmware memory chip.

The patched dump will allow you to install custom firmware through a USB device.

If they are you can patch the dump, and then write it to the console. A validationР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В program is used to verify that your backup dumps are valid. In either case the custom firmware installation process involves making several backups of theР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В firmware memory chip.

You can read about other methods on the PS3 developer wiki. An E3 Flasher only works for NOR consoles, while the Teensy works with both NAND and NOR consoles. Two of the more popular methods involve using a Teensy++ 2.0 microcontroller, and using an E3 Flasher.

There are many methods of installing custom firmware. In my case the CECHA01 fat hasР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В dual NAND chips, and the CECH-2101A slim has a single NOR chip. There are two types of firmware memory chips that are downgradable, dual NAND, and single NOR.Р В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В Every fat system model number CECHAxx through CECHGxx use NAND chips, and the other downgradable systems use NOR chips. You can find the model number on the sticker on the back of your system., it should begin in CECH. There is a more detailed list on the PS3 developer wiki, look at the downgradable min praxis column that corresponds to your model number. In general all fat systems are downgradable, while most slims are, and no super slims are. Because 3.55 was the last exploitable system firmware version, all installation methods involve downgrading to 3.55 through flashing the firmware memory chip on the motherboard. To install custom firmware your PS3 needs to be downgradable to firmware version 3.55.

I personally installed custom firmware primarily to be able to view system temperatures, so that I could mod my CECHA01 to run cooler, and to be able to play backups of my games. There are many more uses, those are just a few.

Viewing system temperatures, and manually controlling fan speed.

Backing up game discs onto the hard drive, and playing them without the disc.

Update: I have written another post going into more detail on custom firmware installation using a Teensy on a CECH-2001A PS3 slim. This post describes my experiences during PS3 custom firmware installation on my fat CECHA01 console, and my brother's slim CECH-2101A console. Installing custom firmware onto my PS3 was one of my goals I mentioned in my project introduction post.
