The actual exploit that allows CFW installation is a webkit exploit (a bug was found in the Internet browser that is built into the PS3 that allows for CFW to be installed). Congrats, you now have an exploitable firmware.

You’ll follow the same steps you took for the MVC Firmware Checker, but this time instead of displaying the minver it will update your console (same deal just copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP file from the 4.82 OFW archive you downloaded, place it on your FAT32 formatted USB drive under PS3 -> UPDATE and then run the update). Make sure to disconnect your PS3 from the Internet and take out any game discs before proceeding. I suggest not using the built in firmware update option using the Internet, but downloading the 4.82 firmware and updating the system manually. If it is 4.81 or less you’ll need to upgrade to the latest firmware. To check to see which firmware version you’re currently using go to (Settings) > (System Settings) > (System Information).

This method is by far fool proof as simply checking your consoles serial number can lead to assumptions based on what is known about the PS3 models.Ĭurrently the only firmware version you can hack is 3.56 and lower (this is not covered in this guide) or firmware version 4.82. This is accomplished by running a fake update program on your PS3 that will display the minimum firmware. You can do this by checking the minimum firmware version of your PS3.

You also do not want to try to install the exploit covered in this guide on an already CFW PS3 system or you will “brick”.įirst off you’re going to need to see if your PS3 can be hacked. 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 can install CFW on your PS3 if it is a “Phat” or “Slim” model, but not on the “Super Slim” (top disc loading) models. Examples of the types of homebrew you can use are a multimedia video player, emulators, game backups and even a program that will remove the Cinavia DRM from the console.
CFW allows you to run unsigned code often called “Homebrew” on your PS3. Welcome to my first Sony Playstation 3™ guide! I’ll be covering the installation of Custom Firmware (CFW) on an Official Firmware (OFW) v4.82 console. Not mentioned here, Sony has removed the feature to message the PS4 and PS Vita using the PS3.PS3 4.82 CFW Installation Guide for Dummies You can download the file right here if you want to load it onto a USB drive and update it manually. Any of these actions may void the PS3 system warranty and affect your ability to obtain warranty services and repair services from Sony Interactive Entertainment. If an update is performed using data from another source, by another method, or with a PS3 system that has been altered or modified in any way, the PS3 system may not operate properly and may not be able to install the official update data.
Do not perform updates using any data other than the official update data provided by Sony Interactive Entertainment over a network or on disc media, and do not perform updates by methods other than those described in the product documentation or in this site.
