(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); i used to have my ps3 hacked but like an idiot i updated to 3.60

now i have a very low firmware ps3 which i can update to any firmware
since 3.60 was up i never really looked on here anymore so im not up to date

What firmware should i update to?
What custom firmware shall i install?
Can i go online?
And will i get banned if i go online?

Also can i have a link to the OFW and CFW that you say please?

sorry to bother and im not a noob, i just have other things to look at at the moment like gcse's, anyway, thanks for any answer i get. < that sounded a bit gay.....

I would upgrade to 3.55 and install Rebug CFW.

Rebug 3.55 CFW. You can go online with it but it's different servers to retail PSN. But you can use server mapping to play against noobs online on supported games. As with every firmware theres a chance of a ban. I can't hotlink you but look at there site. rebug.me

i dont know where i saw that you cant add friends or something?.. some more info about rebug?

You're correct there to some extent. You can't add friends/message or recieve messages from friends that are on the 3.60 servers. But you can send messages to people on 3.55rebug dev servers. You can also use server mapping and go online on supported games with people on 3.60 but they can't message you still. But atleast you get to play against some randomers.

and what are the supported games?

ever game now m8

I copy and paste my reply to a question exactly the same...

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.

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.

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.


Installing rebug custom firmware (best atm):

Download this custom firmware archive from here:

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.
