Sup homes. I'm back doing an in depth on all things CFW. Hopefully this will stop many noob fag threads that are cluttering our forums. So without further or do lets do this marines!
[multipage=CFW NOOB EDIT]
CFW is abbreviated custom firmware. We want CFW because this will enable us to run homebrew. Homebrew is magical thing that lets us do l33t h4cks like emulators, mods and the infamous challenge lobby.
[multipage=Geohot CFW] You must login or register to view this content.
The leader of the battle against patches GeoHot showed us new ways to piss off major corporations. He released the first CFW for PS3. Geo's CFW is very stable and does not brick your system for any other reason than human error.
[multipage=GeoHot CFW TUT]
So I will guide you through the CFW installation without ****ing up your system.
Notes: If this is your first time installing CFW please do yourself a favor and listen to me. Also Geohots CFW does not allow backup managers.
Cleanly restore your PS3. Do a quick format. Then restore system default settings. Backup your system onto a flash drive. This will ensure a clean install.
Okay past the precautions lets move on. Requirements
-Flash Drive

You must login or register to view this content.
Waninkoko's CFW was released for Pirates. It is designed to patch LV2. LV2 is what allows the PS3 to run backups. Since Geohots CFW did not allow backup managers for his own protection Waninkoko has made a CFW that does.
Warning: Waninkoko's CFW has been reported to brick consoles so try at your own risk. Check the Spoiler below for a compatibility list.

This is a thread where we write out what works with waninkoko's CFW and what doesn't. Currently the CFW has been released and many have been reporting brick with their consoles.
These are updates from a PS3 hacking news site.
Basiacally anything with a nand of 256mb will brick. If you cant to figure out how much nand your system has check below.
