[Q] PS3 Update with E3 installed

Post by BSnake »

Hello Community

Since yesterday I have a working E3 Flasher installed on my PS3 (cechl04). :P
Now I am in progress to get CFW on PS3 but I don't have a Dongle to downgrade.

Now I have read, that you can get to 4.46 CFW without a Dongle, but my PS3 is on OFW 4.01.
My questions now are:
Is it possible to update the PS3 with an USB Pen Drive and E3 Flasher already installed?
If i can, what must the jumper be set that the update don't affect the E3 Flasher? (The update shouldn't be installed on the E3 OB NOR :?)
Or is there even a better way to get CFW without a dongle?

My final goal is to get Half Dual Boot to work, but I am waiting for my HDD's to arrive.

Maybe this questions are a little bit strange, but in every tut I read, they update the PS3 befor installing E3.
I hope somebody can help me, I realy don't want to brick my PS3 after Day one. :)

Best regards
BSnake

Yes, just update like you normally would. But I recommend updating in the recovery menu
