  • What firmwares currently have a Jailbreaking method?
    3.41 and 3.55. You were able to Jailbreak 3.31 as well, but the online store that sold the Modchips closed.
  • How do I Jailbreak my PS3?
    -On 3.41
    -On 3.55
    Note: If you are one of the few people that still has a PS3 on 3.41, I highly suggest you to update to 3.55 and do the 3.55 Jailbreak.
  • What can I do with a Jailbroken PS3?
    -Depending on the custom firmware you're using, you can run linux, run hombrew applications, run backups, online mods, and much more.
  • If I have a Jailbroken PS3, can I still go online?
    Yes you can.
  • Will I get banned if I go online with my Jailbroken PS3?
    If you use rebug, or whatever spoofer is being used responsibly, chances are, you won't. By responsibly I mean, at the first sign of ban waves (Try to stay up to date with the PS3 modding scene), you uninstall the .pkg and wait for more news.
  • What is a "spoofer"?
    It is a hombrew application that makes your PS3 look like it's running the latest firmware, so if you're on 3.55, Sony will think you're on the latest firmware.
  • What is a custom firmware?
    A custom firmware is an original firmware edited by a developer/hacker not associated with Sony that let's you do things you are not able to do while running an original firmware (Eg running homebrew, linux, etc).
  • Which do you think is the best Firmware?
    In my personal opinion, Kmeaw's. There's no firmware that has something that Kmeaw's doesn't, and it has almost no brick reports.
  • Can I make my own custom firmware that fits my needs?
    Yes! Thanks to Kmeaw, you can now create your own firmware using MFW builder.
  • Is there any way to downgrade from 3.56/3.60/3.61?
    Yes there is, you will need an E3 Flasher.
  • I am on 3.56/3.60, what can I do?!
    Buy an E3 Flasher!
  • How will I know if there's a new custom firmware for my current firmware?
    It will be posted by a trusted member in this section. Stop searching for them in youtube, it's the same than searching "phisher sites".
  • Can I run Backups on my PS3?
    Yes. A tutorial can be found here.
  • Is my PS3 Backwards compatible? (Can play PS2 games)
    You can play PS2 games on some PS3's. Simple way of knowing if you can or not: 2USB Ports? No. 4 USB Ports? Yes.
  • If I have a Jailbroken PS3, can I still host MW2 modded lobbies?
    Yes, there is a patch that works after MW2's 1.12 update, but, unfortunately, there are no rank mods in it.
    You can find it here.
  • How do I host a MW2 modded lobby?
    You can find a tutorial here.
  • Can I host Black Ops modded lobbies?
    No, there was a method but it was patched. And even if you found a way to host, you would get instantly banned from PSN.
  • Did PS3 Modding started this year?
    No! You can read the whole history behind PS3 Modding and all its important characters here.
  • But I still have more questions!
    No problem! Feel free to PM me, AIM me, or post in this thread.
    If you want to submit a Q&A, feel free to do it as well. If your question is good enough, I will add it to the thread and due credit will be given.

That was the only thing I could think to possibly add. You covered everything else I could think of. Very nice post! :thumbup:

If im on 3.60 what do i need to mod cod 4 or 5?
I guess my other posts must have been confusing, so hopefully this makes more sense:

You need a jailbroken PS3 to mod MW2, CoD5, and CoD4. Seeing as you are on 3.60, you cannot jailbreak your PS3. If you cannot jailbreak your PS3, you cannot host modded lobbies on MW2, CoD5, and CoD4.

Can someone tell me how to identify Jailbreak allowing console by date of manufacture? Because it is the only thing I can watch in the store... I wondering because I heard that some stores already selling ps3 with 3.56 and even 3.60 firmware.

idk about that but you can run backups downloaded off the torrent sites around town. OR you could copy some from redbox for a small fee.

What should I do, if my RTM Tool doesnt connect to my PS3? I can choose my ip address, but it won't connect..
make sure your ps3lib.dll and ccapi.dll files are correct
make sure your network will allow your ps3 to communicate with the pc/laptop
make sure the tool you're using matches which ccapi you're using
