First think you should do when you have a e3 NOR Flasher is to update it. How are you up****** it? via Micro SD Card, or via USB to PC?

Im doing it the sd card way, which do you suggest? how do you do it the usb waY?
I would suggest the USB method, its as simple as the SD Card method should be, but there are times it wont work for the SD Card method so the USB method it is.
You need a USB cable which fits your TF Coverboard, you could simply use the PS3 controller charging cable for this.
Then make sure you have the first 2 switches down and the 4 remaining for doing an update.
Then plug it into your PC, and turn on your PS3 while its installed.
This will then show a drive called "KernalBoot" on your PC under Devices and Drives. (If not, push the reset button on the coverboard, it should show now)

Now, you can simply drag the "update.bin" into "KernalBoot" and your TF Coverboard LEDs should light up BLUE to tell you the update is complete. Then shut down the system and your set.

Yes, leave the e3 flasher w/ ribbon and clamp/clip installed.

Sometimes that happens shut the ps3 off and make sure the clip is on correctly/ or clamp it down abit tighter as it will not dump files correctly if not, another common reason why that happens is also the sd card is not in the slot right , happend a few times to me dude
They are I think the only 2 reasons why its not dumping files when you start
Good luck

Plus I broke my sd card slot on my first e3 and had to use a PEG to hold the sd card in place Lol, i would have to keep redoing it again and again if the the peg wasn' in the right place holding it as it wouldn't dump any files obviously. Good times :xD:
