(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); We now have new CFW’s to install on our PS3′s, that is awesome, but unfortunately, that has brought with it a new wave of n00bs, now don’t get me wrong, i’m not bashing n00bs, we are all n00bish at something, but it appears that n00bs in the PS3 Scene don’t like to read information before asking junk questions and threads here,

Q.) I’m too afraid to risk going to 4.xx CFW, how can i still have Homebrew ?
A.) Well this is obviously the wrong thread for you, i advise you to move on.......

For those of you wanting 4.xx CFW, then continue reading below.

Q.) I have a 3K or 4K model, can i install 4.xx CFW.
A.) No any model in which you cannot downgrade to 3.55 or any model that has the new bootldr cannot have CFW installed, there is no timeline of when these models will be hacked or if they will ever be hacked, so go away and try and find a downgradeable model, for the rest of you lucky people with good PS3′s, continue below ..

Q.) Can 4.xx CFW be installed on 4.xx OFW ?
A.) NO, NO and NO, you need to DOWNGRADE to a 3.55 Firmware.

Q.) Can i Software Downgrade from 4.xx OFW ?
A.) NO, at the moment you MUST, use a Hardware Flasher, like Progskeet or E3, if you are comfortable with soldering, then Progskeet is the recommended device.

Q.) Can i brick my PS3 installing a 4.xx CFW ?
A.) Yes, as with all OFW’s or CFW’s you have a chance of bricking, with CFW’s your chances of bricking become a lot higher, when you dont read.

Q.) Can i brick my PS3 by downgrading ?
A.) Of course you can, but most bricks occur due to user error.

Q.) Who is to blame for any bricks ?
A.) You as the user are, most bricks are down to user error, take your time to read, take your time to understand, take all the time possible and have some patience, it will pay off and be rewarding in the end.

Q.) Will there ever be a method to upgrade from straight from 4.xx OFW to 4.xx CFW ?
A.) Nope just be patient and wait until the PlayStation 4 is released.

Q.) Will there ever be a method to Software Downgrade from 4.xx ?
A.) Nope Just be patient and wait until the PlayStation 4 is released.


INSTALLING A NEW CUSTOM FIRMWARE

Now at the moment, Rogero is the only one releasing a reliable CFW, dont count E3 they are greedy people.
Latest version is 4.30 cfw.

To install any cfw as of now you have to be on 3.55 ofw/cfw then directly upgrade to the latest cfw via recovery menu.(If you still now don't know how to access recovery menu on your ps3 and intend to hack it, chuck your ps3 out of the window of your house lol just kidding search google)
