(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys,

I'm fed up of the mass amounts of threads with questions, so I am writing this in anticipation that people who ask "does this has cod cl". It annoys me.

So, Imma get hold of links, tutorials, downloads and all that shiz.

Oh, and I will also try to answer any questions, I'll put another post below, quote it, for me to see.

Anyway.

Firmware - the software on your console:

Sony's Official - You must login or register to view this content.

George Hotz - You must login or register to view this content.

KaKaRoToKS (1.3) - You must login or register to view this content.

Installing

-- CFW

1. Download the CFW that you wish to install
2. Get a USB, and Create Folders, exactly like: "PS3/UPDATE/--your .pup here--
3. Turn on your PS3, and Navigate to "System>System Update>Update from Storeage Device."
4. Follow the normal install.

--Geohot's CFW will cause the console to beep 9-10 times, and switch off. People have been taking this as a brick. TURN IT ON AGAIN.--

5. Enjoy your CFW.

-- OFW

If you have installed some CFW, and want to revert, enjoy.

1. Download the official firmware you want for starters.

2. If the firmware isn't already called PS3UPDAT.PUP rename it to that.

3. On the USB drive you'll be using on the root of the usb( Not already in any folders) create a folder PS3.

4. In the PS3 folder on usb create a folder UPDATE.

5. Copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP file into the update folder.

6. Put your usb into PS3 then go to system update -> update via storage media, then just install it and your back on official firmware!

--FAQ--

Q: Will this brick my PS3?
A: No, if you use decent FW, like Geohots or Kaka.

Q: Can I download games and play them for free?
A: No. Piracy is illegal, something that the two main devs are against.

Q: Can I make my own CFW?
A: I'm not sure. I read a thread about it, but tbh, I was just faffing.

Q: Is there a Signed, Package FTP?
A: NO

Q: Why wont any of u fags make a package?
A: 'Cause FoF (Fail0verFlow) hasn't made the packer easy to use. You trollin', we hatin'.

Q: Can we put a MW2 patch as a PKG?
A: Not sure, again. In theory, yes. But in practice, no.

Q: Can I revert my PS3 back to OFW?
A: -.-

Q: Why did you make this pointless thread?
A: Because I have waay too much time on my hands.

--If you have any other questions, please ask below. Remember, quote the reply post, or I wont see it.

Exactly. Don't get scared if your PS3 won't turn on after pressing the PS button. I already did a thread about that "problem" : You must login or register to view this content.

There are 2 mw2 patches in pkg files already. Havoc and godly modz. They both lag badly though. They won't work as their not signed.
