(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've been on this server for 2 weeks i believe so, and out of everyone who has modded me, i always wondered how. how would you be able to jailbreak your ps3? i looked it up on YouTube but most either got bad reports (i.e saying it was fake, or spam bots saying it was legit) or you would need to pay them on paypal (they had their paypal and skype in the description) for an outrageous price (i saw 2 that was $20 each).

my questions are:

How would you be able to do it?-

What would you need?-

How much money in total would you have to spend for the equipment?-

First, check if your PS3 is downgradeable: You must login or register to view this content.

If it is, you would need to purchase that flasher listed.
If it is not, you would need to purchase a 3.55 OFW or jailbroken PS3. Some are sold on NGU, or on eBay/Craigslist.

How would I be able to downgrade it and see what version it is eunning

You must login or register to view this content. and check if your model can be downgraded to 3.55. If it can be downgraded, you'll need an E3 NOR Flasher or a Teensy++ Progskeet depending on your flash chip. You can find out what flash your PS3 has You must login or register to view this content.

My ps3 is on 4.81. How to I downgrade it?

Do you have a downgradable model?

I don't know how to check

Look at the model number found on the back of your PS3. It's the last digits of the serial number. It should say CECHxxxx. Most slims can be downgraded, but not all. No super slims cannot be downgraded.

How would I know if it couldn't be downgraded?

See above ^
