(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The following tutorial shows you how to install a modified kiosk firmware v4.00 on your kiosk PS3 console. Keep in mind, this will only enable retail signed packages to be installed via the “Install Package Files” option–unsigned package files/code will not install.

You’ll need the following items before your proceed with the installation:

E3 Flasher device
Two hard drives
Blackb0x FTP
E3 Flasher downgrade tool
Dev_flash dump for kiosk v4.00 (see download link below)
DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE A E3 FLASHER OR SIMILAR DEVICE TO DOWNGRADE YOUR PS3!

Tutorial:

Downgrade to 3.55 using the downgrade tools from e3
Once booted back into the xmb turn off the console
Swap hard drives turn on the system, press the PS button and you will be asked to reinstall the firmware
Place the pup file from the e3 downgrade tools in the normal PS3/UPDATE usb folder and follow the on-screen instructions to reinstall the firmware
Then install dev_blind.pkg & Blackb0x FTP from install packages
Run dev_blind then BlackB0x and FTP into the console
Goto /dev_blind delete everything and replace them with the files included in the download when finished copying
Press the ps button and the console should reboot and ask to reinstall the firmware again, switch off the console and swap the hard drive back
Turn on the console press the ps button twice
The console should boot back into 3.55 Rogero
Goto system update and install 4.00 OFW
Once installed turn the console off again and swap hard drives back and you should boot into a modified 4.00 kiosk firmware.

So basically it's pointless. No keys for 4.00 = no signed code to be ran.

Basically

FTP running on 4.00?

When Kakaroto shares how to sign .pkg's then it won't be pointless.

wouldn't this allow you to play online though? since its 4.00 and maybe you can use this method for the next firmwares sony releases

yes im sure it wud allow u online

Useless, no keys for 4.00 = no signed .pkgs which means no FTP for 4.00... good thread though.

actually his method would be better since he found a way to install it using retail fw not using this unless he can enable it through a usb when the ps3 starts ?

Yeah that would be good.
