Rebug 3.55.1,3.55.2,3.55.3,3.55.4,4.21.1,4.21.2,4.30.1,4.30.2,4.41.2 Lite Editon
Geohot 3.55
Kmeaw 3.55
Rogero 4.40,Rogero 3.55,Rogero 4.21 v2
Waninkoko v2 3.55
HERMES 3.41
REBUG 3.41.3
-OTHEROS++-SPECIAL 3.50
And all of the 4.60 firmwares

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those are just some of the better ones in MY opinion!

First of all there are no CFW above 3.55,for example if you wanted to be on a 4.30.2 rebug cfw,you would have to be on 3.55 firmware before,you went to 4.30.2.
Okay with that out of the way,Here is what you will need.

1.PS3
2. Usb stick formated to fat 32
3. PS3 on fimware 3.55 or below
4. PS3 official 3.55 firmware(For 1st time jailbreakers)
5. Winrar
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that you have downloaded a custom firmware,Extract it too your desktop or wherever by right clicking,then create a folder on your usb stick (fat 32)
called PS3. Then in that folder create another folder named UPDATE. Then Place your
update in there. So it should look like this.(Dont add an E)
X:/PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
Put it in your ps3,go to system update on the XMB or the recovery menu and click Update Via Storage Media

Pat yourself on the back you jailbroke a PS3! Now you want to host Call of Duty lobbies and make tons of money.But you cant charge on TTG.So to host these lobbies you going to need something to put the patch on your game!Now that ypu have jailbroken your PS3, you should now have 2 extra icons in your XMB
Install PKG Files and App_home/ PS3 Game.
Now time to install your file manager. There are a few to choose from on 3.55
The one's I like are Blackbox FTP and Comgenies Awesome file manger these are the best for 3.55.now that we have downloaded Blackbox or Comgenies put it on the root of your usb stick. It should look like this.
X:/ComgeniesAwesomeFileManager.pkg
Also with Blackbox Ftp you will need to have filezilla and your ps3's ip address.

Using Blackbox is quite easy,same with Comgenies File Manager


1. Download a pkg
2. Once again you need a USB , so plug it into your Computer and copy the test.pkg file you downloaded in Step 1 into the root of your USB stick.
3. Plug the USB drive into PS3.
4. Navigate to the Game tab on your PS3 dashboard and select Install Package Files.
5. Next choose .pkg on the USB and let PS3 install the package files.
Be sure to download the blus.

multiMAN is a multi-functional homebrew app that allows you to do tons of things on your 3.55 ps3,like-
Games manager
Game's updates checker and download feature
Web browser, used to download game demos
Homebrew launcher
Retro Console's ROM lister and emulator's launcher with selected ROM passed as argument.
PS1 game launcher in CD-rom format. (Works only on cfw 3.55)
Read from or Dump any media disc (CD/DVD/BD-movie/PS1/PS2/PS3) both in ISO or Files System. (Works only on cfw 3.55)
FTP server
Files manager
Media player, using Showtime homebrew integration (picture/audio/video).
MP3 player
Mount AVCHD video folder
Mount DVD video folder
Mount Blu-ray movie folder to convert the structure to AVCHD format
Log cleaner
File permission fixer
Writable dev_flash mounted as dev_blind
Lv2 memory dumper
And so,so,so much more,best file manager for PS3's above 3.55 cfw!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To install multiMan you will need a FAT32 USB device(external HDD, or flashdrive) of anything size,but a big one is better if you wan to backup your games to the external HDD,It's a package file so just install it normally.

1) Take '999' Downgrader, rename the file to 'PS3UPDAT.PUP and place it in your USB flashdrive in such format: USB FLASH DRIVE > PS3 > UPDATE >PS3UPDAT.PUP

2) Connect the USB to the PS3

3) Go to your PS3's XMB, go to Settings > System Update > Update via Storage Media and update your system from there to the '999' Downgrader.

4) Once updated, Launch Rebug Toolbox and go all the way to the right to 'Utilities' and ensure 'Toggle QA Flag' is not on. Then exit out of the toolbox holding 'O' on the controller.

5) Now transfer the 'ToggleQA.pkg' to the root of your USB and put it back in the PS3.

6) Now on the XMB, under 'Game' go to 'Package Manager' > Install Package Files > Standard Package Location > click on the 'ToggleQA.pkg' and install.

7) Once installed, go back under Game and launch the newly installed ToggleQA homebrew.
*your PS3 should launch the homebrew with the screen staying black, and while the screen is black, your PS3 will beep 3 times and return back to your XMB.
If you want to make sure QA flag was set, go to "Network Settings" then apply the following key combo (all at the same time):
L1 + L2 + L3 (press left stick) + R1 + R2 + dpad_down
You should see Edy Viewer, Debug Settings, and Install Package Files if done correctly.

8.) Take the 'Rebug 3.55.3 CFW', rename the file to 'PS3UPDAT.PUP and place it in your USB flashdrive in such format: USB FLASH DRIVE > PS3 > UPDATE >PS3UPDAT.PUP

Before continuing to step 9, please understand that you should NEVER have a game in the PS3 while installing CFW when ToggleQA is set.

9) Ensuring you have no disc in the drive, take that USB and connect it to your PS3 and simply update your PS3!Your now back to 3.55.3 rebug cfw.

This is how to convert a CEX (Standard - Retail) PS3 To DEX (Developer Console) PS3.
This video tutorial is one of the best!
**You really need to take your time and watch the video more than once,slowly.**

.Okay data transferring is quite is and many people do it.You data transfer from a CFW to an OFW so all your files from CFW are now on your OFW

Bypassing is PATCHED!
:!: Do NOT trust these new bypassing modded firmwares!!!:!:

First off, big thanks to mrbrokeup for bringing this from NGU!!!

Secondly, this spoof DOES NOT SUPPORT COBRA OR REBUG FIRMWARES!!!

The developer Arachetous has released the spoof firmware 4.60 only for custom firmware 4.55; Cobra and Rebug are not supported.

Features v1.00 :
Compatible standard CFW 4.55 CEX only version
Not compatible Rebug or CFW Cobra edition or no-BD
Enabling and disabling spoof easily

Update v1.01 :
add : certificat / CAxx version 4.60

Operation
download and install the package
launch the application, choose enable or disable spoof 4.60
Then put yes to two successive questions (yes to reboot, yes to hard reboot).
Console restarts and okay.

Note: If your PS3 does not restart correctly. Do not panic, just re-install your CFW by the recovery mode.

In case you are not aware, what a Spoofer does is essentially trick your PS3 into thinking its on the latest version of OFW so that PSN access is then available. However there are still major risk of getting banned if you are on CFW. So respect the network!!!!
:!: NOTE This spoofer has semi-bricked peoples PS3's
Dont try spoofers on 3.55 CFW PS3 :!:

What is it?
CCAPI is CEX rtm basically.
Compatible firmwares:

CFW 4.21,4.30,4.40,4.41,4.46,4.50,4.53,4.55 CEX or DEX
Not compatible with "Cobra" firmwares.

VSH module loading:

- create a directory in your /dev_usb000/ called plugins
and put all your sprx plugins into, it should be
/dev_usb000/plugins/prx_name1.sprx
/dev_usb000/plugins/prx_name2.sprx
....
All of the sprx that are present in this folder, will be loaded at ps3 boot.
Important: If some games refuse to work, just don't use plugins (delete plugins folder from /dev_usb000)

How to install CCAPI?

Just download and run this pkg on your ps3.
CcApi_2.50_package
It will tell you to reboot, and it's done. You only need to do this once.

How to uninstall CCAPI?

Just run again the pkg.

Is it risky?
No, in the worst case, you could need to reinstall your firmware.

Console Manager:

Add consoles (name/ip) usable in all ccapi tools
