1. If by "Selections" you mean the different Tasks you can select such as "Add New Icons to the XMB Game Category" then I can't really say no because I have not tried it, but why should it? It shouldn't brick it no matter what combination you pick.

2. I got the same error before. You need the PS3 Keys to get it to work. Download them You must login or register to view this content. from my website. If PS3MFW didn't already (i'm pretty sure it did) then make a folder under your user (C:/Users/YourUser/) called "ps3keys" but i'm sure you don't need to. Replace that folder with the one in the download and then everything should work smoothly. Have fun making your CFW! Happy

Yeah, your problem is just that you don't have the correct PS3Keys, do what the poster said above,

and no, no combination of anything done in PS3MFW will brick your PS3...... Unless you turned off your PS3 during installation or something lmao.
