I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a jailbreaking tutorial or at least link me to one.
I currently have the FAT PS3 running 4.66
Cheers guys!
bmob10189 is correct, you need to first discover if your PS3 is a NOR or NAND model, this is done by first reading the sticker on the back of your PS3 (CECHK03 for example will be found at the end of the writing), then compare to this listing(
You must login or register to view this content.).
Once you've discovered this, a simple Google search OR Ebay search for PS3 downgrade will return people that are happy to downgrade the console for you (costs roughly £35), normally the service will clean out your PS3 properly too, once you have it back, install a CFW & Welcome to modding & getting games/DLCS for free.
It really is that simple, your console will return to you on 3.55 OFW & I recommend installing Rogero 4.55 with 4.66 spoof, launching the console like this :
Turn on PS3, Enter ControlFanUtility, Enter Multiman & Select game, Enter PSNPatch & hit triangle, launch game & sign in.
^ I've used these exact steps every time & have not been PSN/Console banned at all yet (2years).
EDIT : Alternatively, you could purchase an E3 flasher & spend 2 hours manually downgrading the PS3 with multiple solder points (if you're good at soldering

), I personally see no reason at all to go through all that effort when it's cheaper/easier to get someone else to do it for you ..
