(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Yes I know there has been a lot of tutorials, so I am deciding to clear everything up here. NextGenTatics has posted a good tut, but I feel this will be more reliable in the future.

And yes it requires linux, but this is NOT hard to do, it will only take a while to set up...

Also, this will all be done in linux, so there are no firewalls to mess with .

Go to the next page to begin..

[multipage=Setting Up Your PS3]

Find and download AbestOS 1.4

Install to your PS3

Find and Install OPENPS3FTP to your PS3

Launch AbestOS

it will do some crap, then tell you to run lv2 patcher and press X to exit. Exit the program..

On your PS3, Go to Settings -> Network Settings -> Settings And Connection Status List

Note what your PS3 IP address is.

Launch PS3OPENFTP

In your VM, go to Applications -> Internet -> Filezilla

At the top, for host, type your ps3's IP

For user, type root

For password type openbox

Press Quickconnect

Now in the file/folder list to the RIGHT, navigate to /dev_rwflash/data/cert

Now I recommend you copy ATLEAST CA25.cer to your VM, and put in some place like Documents..

To the left navigate to /home/(your home folder, will only be one)/charles/docs

Transfer CA25.cer to the right (your ps3), overwriting the old one

Now Reboot your PS3

Once done, go to Internet Connection settings

Select the correct settings, and IP to automatic (unless you know what your doing)

Set your Primary AND Secondary DNS to your VM's IP which you found a few pages back.

Set your Proxy IP to your VM's IP as well, on port 8888

Go through the rest, and test the connection.

Be sure charle is still running...

Charles will ask you if you want to add your PS# to your ACL list... Select yes, or it can't use the proxy..

If everything when correct, you will connect fine.

If you have ANY issues, let me know. I might still charge though. This took a LONG ass time to write and mods are dicks if they close it for being a duplicate tut, as I hand wrote IT ALL.


FYI, I am not using a VM mainly b/c I run ubuntu linux on a daily basis, but thats just me...


Good Luck...

bro make a tut for the version of this using the app and no ubuntu that would be very helpful because this method is to much

How does this work for any firmware? how u gonna get dev_rwflash on geohot's cfw?

..You need to be able to run abestos on the fw. Geohot can run homebrew, but not backup managers. There are ways.

i don't understand why you would even use geohot anyhow? Kmeaw works alot better.

A homebrew tools needs to mount a RW mirror of the nand. You then can edit in your method of choice...

im still getting playstation network failed

If you need help, contact me on AIM/MSN/YIM/skype...

I might charge, I am tired ATM, and its funny how no one can do this...

Can someone please answer me ?

Flash remap failed

now what ?

Unless u know how to fix the Charles port 80 error taht ppl have, then u can't help me

Read my guide, Jesus (excuse me). If you can't use port 80, close skype. Something is using that port...

I closed all the programs running, and still can't figure it out
