Like I've said I'm not tech savvy and have no idea what any of the tech terms mean. But more or less 3. what you're telling me is that we need to have the official firmware taken off and custom firmware installed?
1. There is a memory chip on the motherboard of the ps3 and it requires a hardware flasher (a physical tool) in order to flash it, which basically unlocks it and allows us to install some stuff we need to downgrade it to firmware 3.55, which is needed to install a custom firmware.
2. Jailbreak is unlocking pretty much
Jailbreak is what you had before you guys updated it to sony's official firmware. It is what allowed you to install multiman and etc. You were on a custom firmware but now you are not.
3. pretty much.
GL!
