(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok, first off the requirement for this is that you have two PS3's. One on 3.41 and the other with 3.42

I did this earlier today and was amazed it actually worked and was so easy. I was able to get a hacked MW2 patch on my 3.42 PS3 and use the hacks online without a hitch.

Credit goes to shiver for giving me the idea. The original posting can be found You must login or register to view this content..



1. On the 3.41 PS3, jailbreak it and install a hacked MW2 patch (tutorial You must login or register to view this content.). You might also need to confirm the hacks working when you are NOT jailbreaked. Meaning you start the PS3 like normal and the patch hacks still work (just test it in splitscreen).

2. On the 3.42 console, do a full backup of your HDD with the PS3 backup feature. Unless you don't care about all the contents on this PS3 being wiped clean and lost forever.

3. Follow this guide for doing a Data Transfer between two PS3's

    https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/settings/transferutility.html

That's it! Basically with the PS3 data transfer feature, you can effectively transfer over EVERYTHING from your 3.41 PS3 to your 3.42 PS3. Including hacked patches! It also transferred over my FTP server and the backup manager... although those don't work without jailbreaking. :p


Whats the advantage to this? Well, instead of doing the MW2 patch hack and updating the PS3 FW which may forever prevent you from enjoying jailbreaking hacks ever again, this also allows you to install new hacked patches when they release. Otherwise if you do it the insane way (updating) you are stuck with godlymodz forever! Not to mention when IW releases the next patch, you would be SOOL. Doing it this way lets you stay on 3.42 while keeping a open line to your hacked PS3 and hacked patches.


Downside to this is that the PS3 which receives the data (the 3.42 one) has it's HDD re-formatted, so all the previous data will be lost. If you do a full backup, you can restore all your stuff later if you want to. And since you will restore to the same PS3, everything gets restored just like it was before.

Also note that the PS3 data transfer instruction manual (which is linked above) says you need both PS3's to have the same firmware. Surprisingly this doesn't matter if the PS3 you are transferring from has a lower FW than the one you are transferring to. The only time you need both to have the current/same FW is when you want to transfer data from the 3.42 PS3 to the 3.41 PS3.

So 3.41 -> 3.42 :y:
And 3.42 -> 3.41 :n:

I'm sure Sony will fix this soon, since this not only makes having hacked patches on MW2 real easy, but this also would open up the door for future hacks on the 3.41 PS3 to a online 3.42+ FW PS3. Since the DT utility copies over everything, hacked files and all.


Anywho, sorry if this is already common knowledge, but I was quite pleased to see that it worked without a hitch! I have been messing with the Godlymodz hacks all night on my 3.42 PS3.


P.S. Please try and keep this premium only. The less exposure this gets, the less chances Sony will fix it right away. I'm sure many others have already figured this out, but still...

P.P.S Just so you are all aware, I currently am NOT hosting any lobbies. So don't ask. I have already restored the backup on my 3.42 PS3, so no hosting lobbies for me (unless I do the DT again).

You need to make sure the patch works on the 3.41 PS3 without jailbreaking it. If you start your 3.41 PS3 regularly (without JBing it) and you have the hacks, then you should have them on the 3.42 PS3 when you do the transfer.

Unless you mean to say the transfer did not transfer over the patch at all? Or was it there but did not work?

Also just for reference, when you do the transfer, you should not be jailbroken. Start your 3.41 PS3 as normal, then proceed with the transfer.

do you haev a msn or skype i wanna chat with you lol

No, sorry I don't. Just post as much info here as you can.

EDIT: It's also better here anyway in case somebody else has the same problem. If we resolve this, they will also have the answer.

can you go to the shout box so we can talk?

nvm ill work on this tommorrow thakns

Just post here dude

We've already wasted a few posts when you could have been giving me info so we can try and fix the problem.

ok i load up my jailbreak im using my iphone2g and the patch works then i back out turn off my ps3 turn on ps3 without jailb i go into game and the patch is not there?
why is this happening

Try this just for curiosity's sake.

• Delete your MW2 patch completely off the PS3.
  
• Go back and re-download/install it (while not jailbroken).
  
• After it's installed, turn off the PS3 and proceed to jailbreak.
  
• Then perform the process to get hacks on the patch.
  
• After the patch is loaded on the PS3, turn it off, and re-jailbreak.
  
• Then load up MW2 while JBed, confirm the hacks work, then quit game and put the system into standby (not a hard turn off).
  
• Unplug the JB device, turn the system on and see if the hacks work without the jailbreak.
  
  

Try this then come back and post your results. Follow all steps exactly (and in correct order), do not skip anything no matter how irrelevant you think it is.

This is what stops people who've got brand new slims from doing data transfer -

Notice

The following restrictions apply if you perform the data transfer operation without creating a PlayStation®Network account:
You may not be able to use the saved data on the destination PS3™ system.
You may no longer be able to earn trophies using the saved data that you transferred.
Trophy information is not transferred.

Save data is different than game data (which is where the patch is at).

I am pretty sure save data from gamesaves is what the article is referring to.
