Now put that PS3 folder and put it on the root of your USB. Put the update folder in a folder called PS3. I recommend EVILNAT for most users, REBUG can be used if you wish to run Linux or make games/homebrew apps.ĭownload EVILNAT here, once it's done downloading extract the RAR and take the PS3UPDAT.PUP file and put it in a folder named UPDATE > Chapter Five, Part One Now, you are ready to install Custom Firmware! If you see the video title and description show a higher firmware number than what is shown in the video, that means the PS3 Toolset has been updated for that specific firmware version.".

The only differences would be a firmware-specific patch, which PS3 Toolset will download for you, and a different CFW matching your firmware version. Although this tutorial was recorded on firmware 4.88, the jailbreak process with PS3 Toolset is the same on higher firmware as long as all of the software needed has been updated. ANY PS3 MODEL HIGHER THAN 25XX WILL NOT WORK! This includes newer Slim (30XX) models and all Super Slim models. 25XX models that have a 3.56 or lower minimum firmware version will work, anything showing a higher minimum firmware will not. All Fat/Phat models work! If you want to perform this on a Slim console, 20XX and 21XX models are all compatible. After verifying your PS3 has been patched successfully, you can simply reboot your console, take a 4.88 CFW of your choice, and install it directly through the XMB! In order to do all of this, you MUST have a compatible PS3. After verifying your flash dump is proper, you can download the required patch for your console and install it all directly within the browser! This process will download a specific file to your console and "patch" the console so it's ready for CFW. This should be done on every install, just in case your system needs the flash restored at any point in the process. If you have a CFW-capable PS3 the first thing you should do is back up your console's NAND or NOR flash to a FAT32 formatted flash drive. makes jailbreaking a PS3 easier, faster, and safer than ever before! If you have a compatible PlayStation 3 on firmware 4.88 or lower, you can easily jailbreak your PS3 using only software! No hardware flashers, no need to take apart the console, not even a need to downgrade! Thanks to the team over at PS3Xploit, anyone with a compatible PS3 can patch their console and install Custom Firmware (CFW).
