PS3 four.82 CFW Installation Guide for Dummies

Welcome to my start Sony Playstation 3™ guide! I'll exist roofing the installation of Custom Firmware (CFW) on an Official Firmware (OFW) v4.82 console. CFW allows you to run unsigned code often called "Homebrew" on your PS3. Examples of the types of homebrew yous can use are a multimedia video histrion, emulators, game backups and even a plan that will remove the Cinavia DRM from the console.

You can install CFW on your PS3 if it is a "Phat" or "Slim" model, but not on the "Super Slim" (top disc loading) models. Not all Slim PS3 are supported so you'll want to make sure to not to mess with the console or otherwise you'll "brick" (ruin) it. You likewise do not want to try to install the exploit covered in this guide on an already CFW PS3 arrangement or you lot will "brick".
Offset off you're going to need to see if your PS3 tin be hacked. You lot can practice this by checking the minimum firmware version of your PS3. This is accomplished by running a fake update program on your PS3 that will display the minimum firmware. This method is past far fool proof as just checking your consoles serial number can lead to assumptions based on what is known about the PS3 models.

Yous'll first need to acquire the "MVC Firmware Checker" RAR file afterward which you volition need to extract using a programme like 7-null or WinRAR. In one case you've extracted the archive you lot'll cease up with a file named "PS3UPDAT.PUP" and you need to identify it on a USB Difficult Disk Drive or Wink Drive which has been formatted using FAT32. Once you have your medium formatted create a folder nether the root of the drive named "PS3" (without the quotes) and within of that binder create another folder called "UPDATE" and and then place the PS3UPDAT.PUP file within of the UPDATE binder.

Next insert the drive into your PS3 and and so from the XMB™ card, select (Settings) > (System Update), and so select (Update via Storage Media). Your PS3 will display your USB drive which yous will select. You take to run this file via the XMB and not under the Recovery Mode as it won't work (if you don't know what the Recovery Manner is then don't worry nearly information technology). After running the update the PS3 will display a string of text containing the minimum firmware version (minver) your console tin use. If it displays three.sixty or higher then y'all will brick your console if you try to hack it using this guide – stop now and become buy a used PS3. If your PS3 displays 3.56 or lower you can go along.

Currently the but firmware version you tin hack is 3.56 and lower (this is non covered in this guide) or firmware version 4.82. To bank check to see which firmware version yous're currently using go to (Settings) > (System Settings) > (System Data). If it is 4.81 or less you'll demand to upgrade to the latest firmware. I suggest not using the built in firmware update choice using the Cyberspace, simply downloading the 4.82 firmware and updating the arrangement manually. Make sure to disconnect your PS3 from the Cyberspace and have out whatsoever game discs before proceeding.
You'll follow the same steps you took for the MVC Firmware Checker, only this time instead of displaying the minver information technology will update your console (same deal; simply re-create the PS3UPDAT.PUP file from the 4.82 OFW annal you lot downloaded, place information technology on your FAT32 formatted USB drive under PS3 -> UPDATE and then run the update). Congrats, you now have an exploitable firmware.

The actual exploit that allows CFW installation is a webkit exploit (a bug was constitute in the Internet browser that is congenital into the PS3 that allows for CFW to be installed). This is achieved past using a small web server program that volition host the exploit files which yous will access from your PS3. It is highly suggested not to apply another person/organizations remote webpage to hack you PS3 with equally it may contain harmful code or it may steal important files from your PS3 – play it safe and host information technology yourself.

You'll want to download and extract the "NOR_NAND_writer_release_1.0_PS3Xploit.nix" into a folder your desktop and and then within of that folder create another folder named "htdocs". Now select the files "nand-482.html", "nor-482.html" and "xp_rel_writer10.js" files and motility them into the htdocs folder you just created. Adjacent take the "flsh.hex" file contained in the "hex-482--Re-create-TO-USB-ONLY-IF-482-FIRMWARE-OR-Volition-SOFTBRICK" folder and place it on the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.

Identify the USB drive into the correct most USB port (the ane closest to the optical disc bulldoze). Y'all should be able to come across your USB bulldoze under the PS3 categories on the XMB; if non try another USB drive.

Kickoff offset off by reconnecting your PS3 to the Internet so double click on the miniweb.exe file (let it to featherbed the firewall if asked) and then take note of the cord of numbers after the "Host" text. These numbers are your computers IP address which you will input into the PS3.

With the USB drive inserted into the right about USB slot containing the "flsh.hex" launch the Web Browser. Next press /\ (triangle) to pull upwards the options and navigate to (Tools) > (Homepage) and set your homepage every bit "blank". Next yous'll desire to admission the carte again and this fourth dimension clear your Internet enshroud by navigating to (Tools) > (Delete Enshroud). One time this is washed close the Internet Browser and re-launch it. Next press /\ (triangle) and navigate to (File) and so input your computers IP address. It should look something like this …

Once you load this page you'll want to select the file that corresponds to the blazon of flash memory the PS3 uses and arrangement storage. This office is very of import. Here is a little chart of the type of flash memory the PS3 uses (either NAND or NOR).

If your console has a NAND scrap select "nand-482.html" or if it has NOR select "nor-482.html" then select the "Write to NOR/NAND flash memory". The exploit will now offset itself and yous'll be greeted by some green text saying it was successful (this may accept a lilliputian while to practice). In one case the exploit is successfully loaded it will then patch your NOR/NAND flash memory with the code contained in the "flsh.hex" file which should exist plugged into the right most USB port. The process should only take a couple of minutes as the PS3 will beep and and then shut itself down if the code injection exploit worked.
If your PS3 freezes (the virtual mouse won't reply) for more 10 minutes ability down the PS3 past holding the power push button downwards (the one on the PS3 itself). Subsequently a few seconds your PS3 will shut down. Plough on your PS3 and then when the prompt to scan the difficult drive for errors comes up press O (circle) to cancel it, load the web browser dorsum up and try the exploit once more. It may take many tries to become the exploit to work (it took me 3 hours of rebooting until it finally worked). You'll know when it worked when the PS3 beeps and shuts down all by itself.

Once you have the patched firmware (yous got this past a successful exploitation of the system) you tin continue to install REBUG. Kickoff you desire to disconnect the PS3 from the Internet and remove any disc in the drive. Side by side download the "REBUG_4.82.1_LITE_ PS3UPDAT.PUP" archive, extract information technology, rename the "PUP" file to "PS3UPDAT.PUP" (brand sure it's all caps) and then follow the aforementioned process for flashing this CFW every bit already covered in in this guide (retrieve, place it nether PS3/UPDATE on the FAT32 formatted USB drive and and then run the System Update option).

Once the firmware is installed successfully you now have a homebrew enabled Sony PS3 panel! Welcome to the earth of homebrew!

Well, in one case you lot take CFW yous volition need an app that has a FTP server built into information technology to transfer via FTP. MultiMAN works well and will also allow you to play your backups. However, there are many guides already out at that place for MultiMAN and so I suggest you just read them.

Recently started using the PS3 once more and seems the previously replaced laser might exist on its fashion out once more, and so thought it was time to upgrade to a CFW.
Its a CECHJ03 / 2.xvi Fat version from 2008 so thats skillful.

Got as far equally - 'You'll want to download and extract the "NOR_NAND_writer_release_1.0_PS3Xploit.naught' but mediafire have deleted the file.

Cant seem to encounter anything similar in the tools section.

And looks like the OP hasn't been online since june so non certain I'll exist able to go help at that place. Anyone else advise anything pls?

Been looking around using google & information technology sent me correct dorsum to here - http://www.psx-place.com/threads/ps...even-easier-to-install-cfw-on-four-82-ofw.16139/

Will contine to read around as I've constitute another tutorial that seems to recommend downgrading to 3.55 first earlier going to 4.82 - http://www.psx-place.com/threads/pinkys-ps3-tutorials.1546/#★ How To Install Custom Firmware ★

Says it non necessary merely withal worth doing. But this tutorial doesn't so not sure yet.

Every bit far every bit I can sympathize, this tutorial is somewhat outdated. Ps3Xploit v2.0 is out and you might notice the files you need hither. Information technology'south not that easy to get together everything in ane place but it still tin can be washed. Practicing on miniweb and dumping OFW as today, about to patch the OFW as soon as I gain enough confidence, pretty smooth so far overall. I'm proceeding very slowly because I don't want to screw anything up.

Y'all can't! If you are on 4.83 ofw there is no going back unless you have an e3 flasher. if you dont have an e3 flasher you only have to sit tight until a new exploit emerges
