(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 , Sorry if this is in the wrong thread also)

-Nosa :confused:

You Cant..... Unless You Downgrade ......

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!

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

You'll need to have 3.55 firmware on your PS3 before installing CFW through USB.
