Hello Guys
Wanted to post this as i see a lot of people bricking with this cfw and would like to help others who are thinking about it.So here:

1.First download the official 3.55 pup and flash it through recovery mode.(for recovery mode see google)

2.Then either download waninkokos patch and patch an official 3.55 pup or download a prepatched pup.

3.After that place the waninkoko pup on your usb following these directories X:/PS3/UPDATE/YOURPUPHERE.PUP

4.Then re-update using recovery menu and you will be fine.

These firmware accepts also 3.41 signed pkgs!!
AND AGAIN DONT FLASH ON 256MB NAND CONSOLES OR YOU WILL BRICK

For any questions ask me.

You wont need it in recovery mode. I did my brothers 80GB Phat without any issues. Went from 3.55 OFW to Geohotz CFW to Waninkoko's CFW. All went smoothly. Although still look up your model to make sure it won't brick obviously.

youre model is not in the danger list but dont blame me if anything goes wrong.to get into recovery mode:
1. Turn off Playstation®3.

2. Hold The power button down; The system will turn on and turn off once again.

3. Once the System has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps

4. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.

5. You will be promted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button

6. The Recovery menu will pop up.

Follow my instructions carefully
