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/
NEW FEATURES IN THIS FIRMWARE:
-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.

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.
he did release it to us, that's how they are online already. It wasn't the actually .pup data but a file that just needed to be compiled with the other data inside the .pup. (which is what we have here). It was a legal issue that is why he never gave the completed all ready to put on usb version.

this explains how to compile it. The link with http/bit that is where you will find the edited file that needs compiling. So far everyone is using this.
and this explains why he won't allow piracy (which was achieved with backup manager)

This newest one with the menu is thanks to kakaroto, i don't anyone here has done what he did yet and that is add and enable more options.
So we won't be able to run games in Backup manager at the moment unless someone else makes a real CFW.

Right now even if you sign a Backup Manager you won't be able to run games, since the Backup Managers require syscalls which the dongles have, right know the CFW's are simples, soon they will be more complex letting you call syscalls, etc. :p (Reminds me of PSP Scene, good days with M33 team 
)
)
this is true, eventually it's going to happen.

This is ****ing stupid! So no backup manager? Well, I think we need now a person with the same amount of skill and more balls than him. I'm not saying he doesn't have any balls, but not enough to modify a kernel for the BM to work.

Modifying the kernel can **** up your ps3 forever, worse than it bring bricked no way of ever getting it back, you only have one chance...
P.S. There WILL be a backup manage soon enough, be patient this CFW is only like 40 hours old.

idk i agree with him as well. The main purpose was to get Linux back not run back ups of games. And plus modifying the Kernel can brick your PS3 for good, i'm not sure how many people would actually be willing to take the chance.
i remember reading somewhere that the reason it works on Jailbreak console is because the dongle have LV2 security access or what ever where as these CFW only have access to LV1
