(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This is for all the noobs out there that do not know anything about a hacked console and which are hackable and everything on top of that.

Just To start everything, a PS3 is only fully hacked starting at CUSTOM FIRMWARES 3.55 & BELOW!!!!!. SONY rewrote new codes AND MORE to all firmwares higher than 3.55 to not allow the hacked codes to work and does not allow modified firmwares even if higher, if its not signed with sony's keys it will NOT work. NO one has or has released sonys keys so do not expect to simply be on cfw 3.55 released world wide freely again. Sony has taken extra measures to prevent that again. The only way to a hacked firmware is to find a console that might need service/ BAD BLURAYS, with firmware on below 3.55, or find a console needing a downgrade using a device to attach to the nor or the dual nands, sony has taken the steps to block these devices by changing Lv0 codes and the METLDR AND MORE in newer released models of the slim and super slim, MODELS CECH250x released in and after 2012 can not be put on firmware lower than 3.60, CECH- 300x regular slims and super slims CECH-400x are not hackable in general. So if you want a hacked console look for the older slims or newest of phats for the easiest way to downgrade with no solder.

What is a hacked ps3 you ask?
Answer: A hacked ps3 is for cheats. YES AND NO!

A hacked ps3 can be used for more than just cheating. there are several homebrew apps that have been released to play videos, music, play back ups emulators, change your ps3 consoles from a retail to a developers for testing, aka cex to dex AND Even repair system failures and remarry blurays. The only trouble is that not a lot do enough research to figure what you can do with them. When one has a hacked ps3 its based for back ups mainly or to mod games. as that seems to be the two main reasons for one.

CEX SEX DEX

My firmware is higher than 3.55 and I did the sex 4.xx cfw and have install pkg and did this with no devices!! DO NOT BE HAPPY, BECAUSE YOU HAVE JUST FAILED!!!!!!!!!

Sex is NOT CFW just because you see INSTALL PKG, that is a factory menu setting released on SEX consoles. SEX CONSOLES ARE THE DUMMY SYSTEMS THAT PLAY ONLY DEMO'S AT WALMART AND BEST BUY LIK STORES. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INSTALL ANY MODS NO ACCESS TO INTERNAL HDD, NO HOMEBREW NO PIRATING GAMES, ITS A DEMO CONSOLE ONLY DEMOS ARE INSTALLABLE THAT ARE SIGNED BY SONY. If you fall for this you did not watch from main sites that its fake.

ALSO when you see cfw that says no devices needed higher than 3.55 than its fake and will usually brick your console or be the dumb sex.

PS3 based CFW from 3.55 as the highest firmware hackable straight from usb with out internal devices.
This is what you can do!
When a ps3 is hacked using firmware based off of 3.55, it is now opened to homebrew, unsigned files and a full access to system files, and internal hardware processes. may not look like much unless you know how to do stuff. The simple part is installing and playing but now your ps3 is opened up like a pc. You can now mod games, your now open to hidden from public files, known as game data or updates.

Game data is a game's or a apps hidden patches and security to a game for fixes and play and downloaded add ons. there are many ways to take internal files and decrypt them just have to find the right tool on a pc that are compatible. People do have releases of files all ready modified to the public that just requires you to locate the original and replace it on the ps3.

Another thing you can do now is back up Your games with a homebrew app called multiman or one of the other back up manager apps. There are several ways to have back ups played on your hacked ps3. you will be able to copy games straight from disc to internal & external hdd or usb and even your pc using wifi your ethernet. you can also download games for ps3 from pc and place it on usb or transfer it using multiman from pc using filezilla, seeing all files from pc on your ps3 as a open book.

For 3.55 cfw extra measures are needed to sign in, play newer releases and more, but Usually top named cfw modders release good higher up to date cfw for ppl that are already on cfw usually around 1-2 weeks after new firmware is released from sony. DO NOT EXPECT A NEW CFW WITH IN ! DAY TO A WEEK FROM TOP MODDERS LIKE REBUG OR ROGERO! THEY HAVE LIVES AND IT TAKES TIME.

NOW IF ON 3.55 still, The only troubles you will run into are signing in to PSN, BANS, & required firmware for backed up games all from newer released games. PSN or now known as SCE SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT requires you to be up to date to sign in and for newer releases a firmware high than 3.55. there are bypasses methods, resigning to firmware of games, and a cfw thats more up to date but all is only made through a base of being on a console with 3.55 or downgrading with a device to unlock and rewrite the codes to be on a cfw 4.30 rogero 2.0.3 and at this time there is no need for the bypass for this firmware. The only way to a hacked firmware again is if you are on a 3.55 firmware ps3 if its higher you will have to hook internal devices and tools to the motherboards nand or nor and modify the files to be able to reach 3.55. after reaching 3.55 again you can get modified firmware and update to higher modified firmware only if on 3.55 or a firmware with a unsigned codes is active. if you install ANY OFFICIAL FIRMWARE HIGHER THAN #.%% (3.55) lol {@u@}
OVER YOUR CFW YOU JUST LOST EVERYTHING UNSIGNED AND WILL HAVE TO TAKE STEPS WITH INTERNAL DEVICES AGAIN TO DOWNGRADE BACK TO A MODIFIED FIRMWARE.

IF YOU ARE HIGH THAN 3.55 YOU WILL NEED A INTERNAL DEVICE TO MODIFY YOUR MEMORY!
Sony has patched future firmware from being modified and is not allowed for installation over official firmware, even if the official firmware is lower than the modded firmware you want, can not update to it unless you console is still at 3.55 without the new sign codes of newer firmware.

here are compatible and non compatible ps3's that can downgrade. and if it has a nand or a nor
You must login or register to view this content.
NAND MODELS ARE
CECHA0x-CECHG0x PHATS BACKWARDS AND NO WIFI AND SIMPLE PHAT
E3 CAN NOT HACK NANDS YOU NEED PROGSKEET

NOR MODELS
ALL NORS ARE COMPATIBLE ON MEMORY DUMPING WITH A E3 FLASHER
CECHH0x-CECHP0x and any alpha higher

ALL SLIMS ARE NOR, BUT SOME ARE CODED DIFFERENTLY TO STOP YOU PIRATES.
CECH-200x
CECH-21xx
CECH-250Xx / BEFORE 2012 ARE HACKABLE TO 3.55 THERE ARE WAYS TO CHECK ITS LOWEST DOWNGRADABLE FIRMWARE.
CECH-300x NEVER HACKED OR MODDED, MEMORY CAN BE BACKED UP AND REWRITTEN BUT THE E3 CAN NOT MODIFY IT. MODIFYING IT YOURSELF STILL IS NO LUCK.

CECH-400x SUPER SLIM NOT HACKABLE.

If you do not take the time for research with sites like Nextgenupdate.com, ps3devwiki.com, ps3news.com, ps3hax.net, dashhacks.com, then you're stuck doing nothing more than staring at a hacked ps3 with nothing on it. There is a lot more that you can do you just have to do your own research and learn. This is only a first step if you are wanting or are new to a hacked ps3.

PS.. DO NOT FALL FOR THE STUPID 4.XX 4.XX CEX to SEX KOISK custom firmware crap, that only has pkg installer to it that only allows SONY'S SIGNED DEMO PKG files, there is nothing to that firmware but a trap of crap and legal demos.

YOU CAN NOT SWAP HDD AND BE HACKED,
A PS3 is not ran from a hdd, of course you will get the error no hdd can not start, But the hdd pretty much just holds the xmb, games, files, saves.

ON OFFICIAL FIRMWARE, When trying to use a unsigned app it will not work, even if data transferred from a hack ps3. if the ps3 is not modified from a firmware update in the memory, it is not hacked.

Still today a ps3 firmware can be modified, but not installed because a bunch of keys and file decryptions are still missing. it can only be installed on firmware 3.55 and below because the keys on this firmware and below are solved.

So how does a ps3 work?
From the nands and nor's of the internal memory, when firmware is installed its is rewritten to the memory and is fully based off the motherboard. Also to let all know DO NOT SWITCH A FULL BLU RAY DRIVE BLU RAY BOARD WITH ANOTHER PS3 UNLESS ITS HACKED AND ABLE TO BE REMARRIED USING FACTORY SERVICE MODE, LV2DIAG.SELF. The bluray board is marred to the system just like 360. Other than that you can swap usb, wifi, laser's, motors, ribbons, power supplies,cases,screws, ports on matching models.

You are also able to make a successful back up with e3 and swap nor's and reflash original back up to a new nor or a old one from another console. SHOULD BE ABLE TO also use a E3 FLASHER AND USE THE TWO SOLDER WIRES AND BREAK A SPECIFIC POINT ON THE MOTHERBOARD PREVENTING POWER TO THE ON BOARD NOR to dual boot any of them on nors.


BLU RAY MIRROR DEVICE.
the two blu ray usb mirrors internal pcb [Cobra ode/ 3k3y ] will not give you a full hack access and can be blocked just from a simple update and also even rewritten and modified by sony themselves. It MOST likely will not be a good idea to waste around $150 Just to play back ups and loose all access to being able to do that when a hacked console is cheaper to make and already gives you a lot more but only troubles are bans If busted, but can continue to do so much more.

IF ANY QUESTIONS, CORRECTIONS, FIXES, TUTS, & STUFF I SHOULD ADD TO LET NOOBIE PPL LEARN THAT YOU CAN NOT JUST UPDATE TO BE ON A HACKED PS3 HIGHER THAN 3.55 TO ALSO ADD A REASON OF PRICES HIGH FOR A HACKED CONSOLE PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT!!!
no reason to groan at the truth.

Great post !

Mr PS3 God , Can you Convert 0x00's Unban to DEX? Gracias

This is very helpful for people new to the PS3 scene. I sure wish someone had all of this when I first joined. I had to research all of this on my own. :cry:

BTW: Am I the only person that saw #.%%, assumed it was 3.55, and then had to look at my keyboard to be sure? :nerd:

lol thnx for noticing that i will leave it there so ppl will look at their keyboards and smash it in there heads 3.55 is required. I mainly made this because all i get are the same questions from ppl that are intrested in my hacked ps3's , whats a hacked ps3????? i feel liek yelling OMG! no one told you? and to keep noticing no one has agood explanation what one is and what they can do, so i made this to give a link instead of wasting peoples texting minutes on trying to say all this.

Should be sticky

this seems like i read this before on a different website...
did you C&P?

fuck no i typed this all out by hand and memory from my own experience with hacking ps3 console's here at ngu. i did not see a single thread here that i could send a link to ppl so they would quit asking me the damn question as what can a hack ps3 do.

i agree this or somthing more detailed of this should be sticked for noobs,also do you even notice how many times the same question is asked by all these noobs? uh yea can i hack my ps3 through usb? and many more almost the same question.

and that goes for those that wanna use dumb call of duty crap mods & all that bullshit i hear everyday and it's the reason why we really don't get any REAL Homebrew imho! p.s patiently waiting for a 3DO emulator port to PS3 soon
