I'VE GOT JUNGLE FEVER
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); With this tutorial you with learn how to first set-up your PS3 console so its ready to install custom firmware, then you will install the custom firmware itself. Next you will install a file on your PS3, this will be the program that you run to load the backup/pirated games!

This works on all PS3s there has been no reports of any bricks whatsoever, so it is very safe unlike other methods like Waninkoko's.

This tutorial has been updated so that you no longer are required to run the lv2 "hotfix" on every boot to play backups! You can just turn on your PS3 and play

Updated again to update backup manager so there is less black screens on boot up and loading games


This tutorial is made by me, Juddy, originally for NextGenUpdate. If you copy please leave this credit.


Right now you should have an idea on what we are going to be doing lets begin shall we...

[multipage=Installing/Reinstalling 3.55 Firmware]
First you are going to ether install or reinstall 3.55 firmware onto your PS3, this is necessary to prevent any firmware problems which we do not want! If you are already on an official 3.55 update with no modifications you can skip this step. Make sure you do this though if you have already any custom firmware such as geohots etc already installed.

Download the offical 3.55 firmware from here provided by Sony:

You will need some form of storage to put this on like a USB stick for example. In this storage make the folder "PS3" then inside that make an "UPDATE" folder. Place the "PS3UPDAT.PUP" file in this folder.

You must login or register to view this content.
Connect this storage to your PS3 and go to "System Update" then select "Update via Storage Media" and go through like normal with the update.

You must login or register to view this content.
Again if you get an error telling you that "No acclicable data was found" then you need to enter the PS3's recovery menu. You can do this by following the steps below:


  1. Turn off your PS3
  2. Hold the power button down till the console turns on and off
  3. Press the power button again untill you hear two beeps
  4. Stop pressing the power button
  5. You will be asked to connect your controller and press the PS button, do this
  6. You should now be in the recovery menu

Now scroll to "System Update" at the bottom and install the firmware like normal from there.

[multipage=Installing Custom Firmware]
This step would normaly be fairly complex but I have uploaded my own made custom firmware to make it simpler for you.

Download this custom firmware archive from here:
    PROTECTED LINK:

Once downloaded extract the archive and go inside the "Patched Firmware" folder and place the "PS3" folder on your storage and make sure you overwrite the files from the previous step. Ignore the other files they are not needed.

Connect this storage to your PS3 and go to "System Update" then select "Update via Storage Media" and go through like normal with the update.

If you get an error telling you that "No acclicable data was found" then you need to enter the PS3's recovery menu. You can do this by following the steps below:


  1. Turn off your PS3
  2. Hold the power button down till the console turns on and off
  3. Press the power button again untill you hear two beeps
  4. Stop pressing the power button
  5. You will be asked to connect your controller and press the PS button, do this
  6. You should now be in the recovery menu

Now scroll to "System Update" at the bottom and install the firmware like normal from there.

You must login or register to view this content.
On restart you should see two new options in the "Game" section, these should be "/app/home/PS3_Game/" and "Install Package Files" if you do you have successfully installed custom firmware on your PS3.

[multipage=Installing and Using Backup Manager]
Last step now, you will install and use a backup manager called "multiMAN" on your PS3. This is the program used to run the backups themselves off of the PS3.

Download multiMAN from here:
    https://www.multiupload.com/6QSHNZ7ONW
You must login or register to view this content.
Extract the pkg files from the archive and place it onto your storage. Connect it to your PS3 and scroll to the "Install Package Files" it will come up and select it to install.

You must login or register to view this content.
Now go back to the "Game" section and you will see "multiMAN". Run it and it will then load up, if it crashes do not worry this is normal on the first run of the program. Just turn your PS3 off and on and load it again.

You must login or register to view this content.
Agree to all the terms and conditions. Now here you will see what game you have currently in your PS3 (if any). To copy the game to your internal HD press "O" and select "Yes". The game will then copy it onto your HD, this can take a while so be patience.

You must login or register to view this content.
Once it has finished load the game in the manager by pressing "X" on it. Press "No" on the option that comes up. This will return you back to the XMB, just scroll to where you would usually load a game from (the blue disc) and load it. Please note that you are required at the moment to have any game already in the drive to "trick" the your PS3 into loading the game.

You must login or register to view this content.
If the game fails to load and you get a blackscreen there is a way to fix this. Load up multiMAN and hover over the game that did not work. Press R1 this will patch the file permissions of the game and hopefully make it work for you.

How to use downloaded games and run them on your PS3.

FTP:
Send game over to PS3 via FTP location hdd0/games/

External HSad Awesome
Put game folder in root of hard drive.

More indepth soon.

This is most likely a dumb question but what happens when there's a psn update?

Yo..when after I copy the CFW to the PS3 HDD, it says the latest software is already installed, there is no need to update.

I did it without a problem for one of my ps3's, it doesn't work on the other.


Have you got any freezing and problems?

OK so, i have some issues with running back ups

I got Geohot CFW

Installed Multiman on it, copied Black Ops -> and when i try to run it it gets me back to XMB and nothing happens

And it says when i start Multiman that im missing the payload? where can i find this to download?



After that i did get Rogero Manager 7.9a.
When is start it it tells me No Payload found in memory
Then i select no and when i try to back up the game it doesnt let me do it. Cant hit O so whats wrong?


After this all didnt worked i downloaded Gaia Manager 2.5 i guess
Very easy i run it, the screen turns black and after 2second it gets me back to XMB

So i runned the omg omg omg lv2 patcher before anything but nothing works



Can someone link me to a TUT for a working back up for Geohot CFW?
And i back uped the Black Ops on Multiman offline, do you think its because of that? do i have to be online for back up to get it work after?
