Thread moved to PS3 Mods Questions and Inquiries, hopefully you find a better answer here.

I wouldn't go to all that effort for gta why not just install gta and the modded files on your new ps3. Restoring or formatting will not cause you to lose your CFW.

From what I'm aware backup utility only back up certain stuff, it does not backup your firmware. If you import 3.55 firmware on 4.70 it will be imported into 4.70 from what I am aware.
