Post: Please help! Need help about JailBreaking!
03-30-2013, 04:23 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello NGU, here's the deal.
I'm running on 4.31 just plain Sony update, Can someone please describe to me what a CFW is, how I can use them for 4.31 (If I can), What I can do with it, Will I get banned playing on MW2, and what's a good one?
P.S. I am completely new to PS3 Modding\Jailbreaking, I have no clue what OFW's are, and I don't want to buy an E3 Flasher.
(Sorry if this has been posted before, I don't have good internet so it takes a while to load Winky Winky, Sorry if this is in the wrong thread also)

Well your On OFW, OFW is OfficialFirmWare it think So there is no way you can just jailbreak it, you need a either a ps3 in 3.55 firmware or an eflasher depending on the model of console you have,

I don't want to JailBreak, I was basically asking what a CFW does and what I could use it for. I know to JailBreak you need either a 3.55 or Flasher. My friend told me he could get somewhat the same things using a CustomFirmWare and he was on 4.31 (I think)

custom firmware requires a jailbreak though so your friend is jailbroken not unless someone gave him a backup so he can mod.

CFW Basically Opens up your system so you can edit the files inside of it in the hdd. For example once a Cod patch donwloads it saves to the hdd but those files aren't available on ofw but once on cfw those files are available (AKA)- Unllocked Opened Up For you to Edit.

Then is there any way to "load" a CFW on 4.31?

With 4.31 OFW, you'll need a eFlasher depending on your Model to downgrade to 3.55.
From there, you can run your PS3 offline, or spoof it, and bring it online.
Best of luck! Cool Man (aka Tustin)

Then can I install a CFW with a USB while I'm on 4.31? Or do I need to flash to a lower version, I have been searching for a while for a 4.31 CFW and I can only find one and its by SGB (Or some other acronym), Because I would only really want a CFW to install a custom MW2 patch :\. Thanks though Smile

You'll need to have 3.55 firmware on your PS3 before installing CFW through USB. Cool Man (aka Tustin)
