(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok, I recently Jailbroke my ps3 with the custom geohot firmware. So I did it and then I told a few friends that they should do it to. They said that sony can ban consoles that are jailbroken. So that startled me. What i did was I download the original firmware from Sony's website. I followed all the instructions like making the the folders PS3 - UPDATE - Then placing the firmware in that folder. It worked fine with the geohot firmware. But whenever I press Restore from Storage Media, it does not find the firmware it says Not Applicable Update Data or something. I dont know whats wrong. I've seen a video on youtube where the guy had no problem unjailbreaking his PS3. I dont know why I can't can anyone help me, or tell me if there is something i missed?
