1. How to hack Sony PlayStation 3?
Nomenclature:
CFW - custom / unofficial firmware
OFW - official firmware
HFW - hybrid firmware (OFW with modified content)
Homebrew Apps - Unofficial Apps

You do all the manipulations with the console at your own risk, the administration and users are not to blame for the inoperability or blocking of your accounts / consoles.

There are 3 ways to hack consoles:
1. Installing custom firmware - This method works only on flash consoles, you can install games and homebrew applications.
2. Using HEN (at the moment the method is not stable) - this method works on non-flashable consoles, this method is intended for installing games and homebrew applications.

Part 1.
To hack the PS3 console, you need to know the console model. To do this, go to the topicSony PlayStation 3 - discussionand look at the spoiler "What kind of PS3 consoles are there?"
  • If the console Fat (fat), then go to part 2.
  • If the console is Slim 2K (slim), then go to part 3.
  • If the console is Slim 3K or SuperSlim (super slim, SS or SS), then go to part 4.


Part 2.
If you are reading this, then CFW can be installed on your console. Now you need to know the version of the installed firmware. Go to Settings ->System settings ->System Information ->We look at the line System Software:
if version 3.55 or lower, then download CFW (spoiler 3), install (spoiler 7), go to part 5.
If version 3.56 or higher, then carefully readthis material.

Part 3
To hack the console of the Slim console, you need to know its Date code (date code list), to do this, turn the console over and look for this sticker:

  • If the date code is from 6A to 0D, then CFW can be set. See part 2.
  • If the datecode is 1A or 1B, then you need to remove the dump and check it through PS3DumpCheckerMod or just look through hex. If you have metldr first revision, you can install CFW. Go to part 2.
  • If you have metldr2, then CFW cannot be installed. Go to part 4.


How to find out the version of metldr, described in detailhere is the Requirements tab.

Part 4
If you are reading this, it means that your console cannot be flashed to CFW. To hack the console you need to install HEN.
If ODE (drive emulator) is installed on the console,this postmay help with an update ofw.
How to install HEN.
I also advise you to installHen Toolbox Mod.

Part 5 - Installing applications and games.
5.1. On custom firmware.
To install and run games, it is best to use backup managers -Webmanor another (spoiler software or Google search).
To install the backup manager, download the pkg-file of the required manager, dump it on the USB flash drive (FAT32) and install it from the console menu via Install Package Files.

Before installing the firmware, be sure to remove the Blu-Ray game disc from the PS3, if there is one in the drive (this is necessary because the PS3 is first updated from the disc).
Method number 1

01. Rename the downloaded firmware file to PS3UPDAT.PUP.
02. Copy the file with the PS3UPDAT.PUP firmware to a USB flash drive (FAT32) in the PS3 / UPDATE folder.
03. Insert the USB flash drive into the PS3.
04. Disable the PS3.
05. Press the power button and hold until you hear two short beeps, after which the PS3 turns off, then release the button.
06. Press the power button again and hold it until you hear one short beep first and then two short beeps, then release the button.
07. Do everything according to the instructions on the screen, select the system update located in the very last paragraph.
08. PS3 will turn off several times (do not touch the console at this moment) and as a result will bring you the initial setup screen.

2 is.



Rep: (3)
and is it possible to create 2 partitions on an external hard drive so that the ode cobra sees



Rep: (1356)
* TRANCEformer,
in order to launch something that is not licensed, you need to install custom firmwareor hardware drive emulator... to install custom firmware - you need firmware no higher than 3.55 ... if firmware 3.56 and higher - you need to do a hardware downgrade (disassemble the set-top box, connect the programmer, edit the firmware on your computer, etc.) .... to do a downgrade - you need a prefixable prefix (you have a firmware for that) ... given that in the prefix a kind of chip to which you need to solder for a long time and tediously (on most other consoles I threw a clip-connector on the chip and that's it) then the price of 70 bucks is justified ...



Rep: (477)
* TRANCEformer,
Already 70 bucks !!!! Well, if you think that buying a license will be more profitable, it’s your business. Buy a maximum of 3 games with your hands on 70 bucks, and enjoy)))))

Does online work?



Rep: (1356)

online on custom firmware - a lottery ... can be banned right away, or you can play a couple of years ...

Would you use online in this case?



Rep: (477)
* bes_up,
Yes, you can use it until you are banned. This does not affect the operation of the console itself.

That is, only the account is banned, and not the console?



Rep: (477)
* bes_up,
The console is also banned, but it does not affect further piracy offline.



Rep: (51)
Please tell us the recipe for minimal risk of getting banned online at CFW! I think so:
1. Sen Enabler or PSNpatch
2. Run only licensed disk images
3. Do not go anywhere except online when connecting
Is the recipe right? Are games installed via pkg better played online?

Rep: (477)
* anarhist0819,
Unfortunately, there is no such recipe (((
There are special firmware, at least in version 4.50, which allowed ONLY launching a license, and they differed from the official only in the possibility of their rollback. They say that they didn’t ban them, but games are only a license.
There is no absolute way to play custom, even if it’s licensed, and there’s no ban!
Sony will calculate not only whether you have a licensed game, but also whether you have licensed firmware.
So ban is only a matter of time.



Rep: (51)
* set48, Well, I’m saying that it is precisely to get the minimum risk of a ban. I understand that a ban is inevitable, but I want to postpone this moment only because of gta online and destiny. I will try



Rep: (477)
* anarhist0819,
I’m talking about this, there is no such thing as a minimal risk of a ban.
With an equal degree of precaution, i.e. subject to the same conditions, one user can get a ban on the same day, the second in a month, the third in a year. There is no system or pattern.
The only option is the firmware, which I mentioned above, if there is one at all in version 4.65, and a licensed disc with the desired game. You play online, after which you can roll back to the standard custom. such an up-to-date firmware, and as far as this method is reliable, maybe everything is not so smooth there either.
