The original RSOD "fix" was actually a CFW patch to bypass the RSOD. basic_plugins.sprx was modified to ignore the error condition to allow the console to boot. While this worked, certain things like trophies still didn't work correctly.

RSOD Fixing

Observations about RSOD

  • Seems to appear mostly on consoles with Samsung NORS (CECHL**-CECH20**)
  • May be caused by an error being thrown while writing to NOR (this is theory)
  • Mostly caused by a corrupt area of flash called VTRM

The original RSOD "fix" was actually a CFW patch to bypass the RSOD. basic_plugins.sprx was modified to ignore the error condition to allow the console to boot. While this worked, certain things like trophies still didn't work correctly.

The actual RSOD fix occurs by the VTRM area on flash being rewritten. The ability to do this is already built into the firmware, it just needs to be called.

RSOD Fix from Linux

 ps3dm_vtrm /dev/ps3dmproxy init

RSOD Fix from GameOS

  1. Install the NORSOD patched PUP so that you can boot. http://www.mediafire.com/?bp24820wp0pn89a
  2. Install the rsodfix.gnpdrm.pkg package, and run it from XMB REDACTED
  3. Run rsodfix.
  4. Reboot and install whatever firmware you want

RSOD Fix Factory Service Mode tool (recommended)

This method superceeds all previous (Linux + GameOS) versions, as it is no longer needed to reinstall a firmware or Linux.
