The easy way requires you to be on OFW version 4.82 (NOT 4.83 as of yet) and also to go to PS3Xploit Team - from your PS3's browser. Got all that? Great as of the time of this thread being written there are two different ways to jailbreak a compatible console. Don't go in blindly cause it will most definitely not end well. So you still want to do it? then you have to learn a few things first (for your own and your console's good). Also be prepared to get booted offline and get console frozen a lot cause that is what almost everyone with a jailbroken console does these days. NOTE: if you have a slim console, make sure the CECH-xxxx serial code is either 2xxx or 25xx and not 3xxx, don't worry a reference picture with all compatible console will be linked below. Also not all consoles can be jailbroken/modded. A LOT, and to get unbanned it costs money. Unless you are very lucky or know what you are doing you will end up getting banned.


If you really want to go about jailbreaking/modding your console you must take into consideration the following facts. Q3: I want to convert to CFW (jailbroken/modded ps3 console), how should I go about that? (Prepare to read)Ī3: Woah mate, Wait a second. NOTE: the OFW updater can be found here: PS3 System Software Update – Latest Version 4.83 after that's done place the updater file inside the folder labeled "UPDATE" and then that folder inside the other one and after that's done place the folder labeled "PS3" inside a USB and plug it in your PS3 console and select the system software update from the XMB menu. Shall fix such issues most of the time.Ī2: First you will need the updater file either from Sony's website if you want OFW or from any CFW team's site if you want CFW (for CFW I suggest using Rebug), then make sure the file is named to "PS3UPDAT.PUP" (w/o quotes), so make two folder labeled "PS3" and "UPDATE" respectively (MUST be caps and w/o quotes). Q1: I frequently get the "plug in your controller and press SELECT + START buttons" or "The system software couldn't be run properly" screens, What shall I do?Ī1: You should try and reinstall the CFW version you currently use or even update to a newer one.
