(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This curse started a day ago. My ps3 can play MULTIMAN (before the curse) and it's OK buy then my fan is so noisy like a crying baby so I read internet then download homebrew file called fan control utility. I installed it but when I started it. There is nothing showing up there. OK that is fine but Next day. The fan is growling so loud. I can't stand the noise. So I read internet and it said you have to jailbreak your ps3 to run pkg file (which is odd coz I can use MULTIMAN but fan control utility doesn't work and those two are pkg files.) But unfortunately I am noob and know NOTHING about jailbreaking so I trusted this stupid fake site You must login or register to view this content. (please kill that goddamn site) it said that you have to download the latest OFW from Sony. And it's 4.8.1 I downloaded it then update the system in ps3 BUT! After I updated it. It said that you have to download the second file and I can't download the second file because there is no offer in my region. So now I am stuck in ofw 4.81 firmware and now I can't play games because Everytime I tried to start MULTIMAN, it said error 8xxxxxxx (I think?)

Now all of my games are all gone. I just want my game back. Tell me how

PS. I use slim CECH-2000A
Help me to get my games back!

If you updated to the latest official sony firmware, then the only way to get jailbroken again would be to re flash and re downgrade the console..

As far as the fan goes, your console may be suffering from overheating, assuming you didn't have webman fan settings tweaked.. You can try to change the thermal paste and hope for the best. If it doesn't get better, the console may need a reflow or a reball, or to be replaced.

GL!

Ouch hurts my eyes to read this, did you flash your system yourself or purchase it jail broken? I'm assuming you bought it done already so take a look on Craigslist for people selling them and contact them and see if they did it or know someone close by who jailbreaks them, I actually wanted to start a thread for where people live or around about area so some people can get help in first person and hands on. Keep us updated

You must login or register to view this content.

That should have thrown up red flags itself (to any somewhat knowledgeable person)

As others have said, you'll have to reflash.
