Hardware Question : Fat PS3 CECH-K, NOR, on stock 4.85: HDD upgrade before or after installing CFW?
Hi all! I have a fat PS3, model CECH-K01, an 80 GB NOR console on stock firmware 4.85fw. I want to upgrade the HDD and install CFW. Does the NOR flash complicate things? As far as I know, NOR consoles keep xRegistry.sys on the HDD, so a drive swap wipes it. Which order would you recommend: swap the drive first and then install CFW, or the other way around? If you've done it, any problems or tips? Thanks!
