I NEED MORE COWBELL!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); i realized that my launch 20gb (upgraded to 60gb hdd) ps3 is on FW 3.42 and i would like to try and jailbreak and install CFW on it. but i am totally a noob and was hoping someone on here could assist me and not mess up my ps3. i mainly would like to be able to run homebrews and do data transfers... and do some other stuff like unlock trophies and what not.

so if anyone would help me out or point me in the right direction, all is appreciated! thanks for checking out my thread.

Be careful with certain 3.55 OFW PUP files, theres been reports that if it was downloaded off the official sony site at a certain time that they patched there 3.55 so that unsuspecting CFW hopefuls would be suckered into it as it disabled certain jailbreaking functions. But yes download OFW 3.55 then find a reliable stable mainstream CFW like Kmeaw, you cant go wrong with it.
