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.

Does anyone have the jailbreak file as Geohot was forced to remove it from his website?

imma laugh when you all get banned.

However, a report by Digital Foundry claims that Sony can take far more drastic measures. Even if you've never signed up for a PSN account, your console will communicate with Sony servers every time it boots up. That initial load process is used to upload error logs, download updates to the "What's New" module, and a list of recently-run applications, including any unauthorized backup manager software.

How can your playstation communicate with sony servers if it isn't connected to the internet.

Yep just unplug your ethernet cord from your PS3 until people do get banned if you think they'll be banning people.
