Tutorial:
Rename the downloaded file to PS3UPDAT.PUP.
Create a folder on the root(not already in any folders) of a usb and call it PS3.
Create a folder in the ps3 folder on the usb called UPDATE.
Then copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP into the update folder.
Then put the usb into your ps3, go to system update and update by device or whatever.
For example, I put the PS3UPDAT.PUP in the Folder F:/PS3/UPDATE/

-Other OS capability

UNTRUE MYTHS ABOUT THIS CFW
MYTH #1 This gets rid of my saves and game data!! Truth:This isn't true, it has save data utility and game data utility there in this new cfw download
MYTH #2 This will brick your PS3. Answer: no this will not brick your PS3, I have done it myself on two ps3s and it works fine.
MYTH #3 Sony can find people with this and ban them. Truth: No they can't, it runs exactly the same as official 3.55.
MYTH #4 You can't go online with this. Truth:You can go online, proof of this is the screenshot provided by xd366 as he's online with the custom firmware.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q:Whenever I put my usb with the firmware in it doesn't get recognised and says there is No applicable data found?
A: This means your doing something wrong, make sure the ps3 folder is on the root of your USB, for example mine was in F:/PS3/UPDATE if it was like that and doesn't work, then try a different usb device.
Also try this if all that doesn't work:
if your PS3 is still saying "no applicable update data was found" this is what to do,
1. Plug in your USB device with the update on it into a usb slot on the PS3.
2. Turn your PS3 off from the PS button
3. Hold the power button on the PS3 until the PS3 turns off again
4. Once the PS3 turns off again hold the power button until the ps3 beeps twice
5. Now a menu will come up, go to system update
6. Now just do what it tells you to do and it will install the update
Q: Can I host challenge lobbies on 3.55 or higher with this?
A: Not as of yet, you will only be able to do so once a FTP server program and backup manager is signed as official making it usable with CFW so you can put the patches and whatnot onto your PS3.
Q: When I try to run .pkgs, they don't work?
A: This is because they aren't signed as official.

as far as i know Back Up Manager won't come with the current state of the CFW. Even if they sign it, from my understanding when the CFW file was made by Kakarot he and a bunch of other hackers didn't want piracy, so i think BM won't work. idk
This wasn't "made" by kararoto. In fact, he made one, but never released it to us, but he gave us the mean to, and broseidon made it (with the help of xID). And as far as I know, a Back Up Manager will come in the near future, because it's not up to the devs to decide anymore, they gave us the tool, and they're no longer involved, now its up to us to sign the pkgs and use it.

Yep, he only does it like that because it's legal for him to do it so he can't break any laws and go to jail for it...

Speaking to the BBC, PS3 hacker Geohot has revealed that he has a fear of being hit by a lawsuit from Sony over his PS3 hack exploits. To quote - "I''m scared of being hit with a lawsuit." Mr Hotz also revealed his hatred for the fact that the key opens up the PS3 to the unfortunate world of piracy. Team Fail0verflow has revealed that they 'disagreed' with Geohot's decision to release the keys to open the PS3. The reason being is that it opens up the doors to piracy, without really achieving anything useful. To quote - "to make piracy easier without accomplishing intrinsically useful". Geohot wont be releasing anything anytime soon
