Install Custom Firmware Ps3 Super Slim 4.82

PS3 iv.82 CFW Installation Guide for Dummies
​

Welcome to my first Sony Playstation 3™ guide! I’ll exist covering the installation of Custom Firmware (CFW) on an Official Firmware (OFW) v4.82 console. CFW allows you lot to run unsigned code often chosen “Homebrew” on your PS3. Examples of the types of homebrew y’all tin can use are a multimedia video player, emulators, game backups and fifty-fifty a program that will remove the Cinavia DRM from the console.

​

You lot tin can install CFW on your PS3 if it is a “Phat” or “Slim” model, but not on the “Super Slim” (top disc loading) models. Not all Slim PS3 are supported then you’ll want to make sure to not to mess with the panel or otherwise y’all’ll “brick” (ruin) information technology. You as well do not want to effort to install the exploit covered in this guide on an already CFW PS3 organization or you lot will “brick”.

First off you’re going to need to see if your PS3 can exist hacked. Y’all can do this by checking the minimum firmware version of your PS3. This is accomplished by running a fake update program on your PS3 that will display the minimum firmware. This method is past far fool proof as simply checking your consoles serial number can lead to assumptions based on what is known about the PS3 models.

​

You’ll first need to acquire the “MVC Firmware Checker”
RAR file
after which you will demand to
excerpt
using a programme like 7-zip or WinRAR. In one case you’ve extracted the archive you’ll cease upwards with a file named “PS3UPDAT.PUP” and you need to place it on a USB Hard disk drive or Flash Drive which
has been formatted using FAT32. In one case you have your medium formatted create a binder under the
root
of the drive named “PS3” (without the quotes) and within of that folder create another folder called “UPDATE” and and so identify the PS3UPDAT.PUP file inside of the UPDATE binder.

​

Next insert the drive into your PS3 and then from the XMB™ menu, select (Settings) > (System Update), and then select (Update via Storage Media). Your PS3 will display your USB bulldoze which yous volition select. You have to run this file via the XMB and non nether the Recovery Manner equally it won’t work (if you don’t know what the Recovery Mode is and then don’t worry nearly information technology). After running the update the PS3 will display a string of text containing the minimum firmware version (minver) your console can use. If information technology displays three.threescore or college then you will brick your console if you endeavor to hack it using this guide – terminate now and go purchase a used PS3. If your PS3 displays 3.56 or lower y’all tin can proceed.

​

Currently the just firmware version yous tin can hack is 3.56 and lower (this is not covered in this guide) or firmware version 4.82. To bank check to see which firmware version you’re currently using go to (Settings) > (Organisation Settings) > (Arrangement Information). If it is 4.81 or less you’ll need to upgrade to the latest firmware. I propose non using the built in firmware update selection using the Net, just downloading the
four.82 firmware
and updating the organisation manually. Make sure to disconnect your PS3 from the Internet and take out whatever game discs before proceeding.

Yous’ll follow the same steps you took for the MVC Firmware Checker, just this time instead of displaying the minver it will update your console (same deal; simply copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP file from the 4.82 OFW annal you lot downloaded, place it on your FAT32 formatted USB drive nether PS3 -> UPDATE and and so run the update). Congrats, you at present have an exploitable firmware.

The actual exploit that allows CFW installation is a webkit exploit (a issues was establish in the Internet browser that is built into the PS3 that allows for CFW to be installed). This is achieved by using a small web server program that will host the exploit files which you volition admission from your PS3. It is highly suggested not to utilise another person/organizations remote webpage to hack you lot PS3 with every bit it may contain harmful code or it may steal important files from your PS3 – play information technology safe and host it yourself.

You’ll want to download and extract the “NOR_NAND_writer_release_1.0_PS3Xploit.null” into a binder your desktop and then inside of that folder create another folder named “htdocs”. At present select the files “nand-482.html”, “nor-482.html” and “xp_rel_writer10.js” files and motility them into the htdocs folder yous but created. Next have the “flsh.hex“ file contained in the “hex-482–Re-create-TO-USB-Simply-IF-482-FIRMWARE-OR-WILL-SOFTBRICK” folder and place it on the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.

​

Place the USB drive into the right most USB port (the one closest to the optical disc drive). You should be able to see your USB drive nether the PS3 categories on the XMB; if non endeavor some other USB drive.

​

Beginning start off past reconnecting your PS3 to the Internet then double click on the miniweb.exe file (allow information technology to
featherbed the firewall
if asked) and and so take note of the string of numbers after the “Host” text. These numbers are your computers IP address which you will input into the PS3.

​

With the USB drive inserted into the right most USB slot containing the “flsh.hex“ launch the Web Browser. Adjacent press /\ (triangle) to pull up the options and navigate to (Tools) > (Homepage) and set your homepage as “blank”. Next you lot’ll want to access the menu once more and this time clear your Internet enshroud by navigating to (Tools) > (Delete Cache). One time this is done close the Internet Browser and re-launch information technology. Next press /\ (triangle) and navigate to (File) and then input your computers IP address. It should look something like this …

​

Once you load this page you’ll want to select the file that corresponds to the type of flash retentiveness the PS3 uses and system storage. This role is very of import. Here is a footling chart of the blazon of flash memory the PS3 uses (either NAND or NOR).

​

​

If your panel has a NAND chip select “nand-482.html” or if it has NOR select “nor-482.html” and and so select the “Write to NOR/NAND flash retentiveness”. The exploit will now start itself and you’ll be greeted by some green text saying it was successful (this may have a little while to do). Once the exploit is successfully loaded it will then patch your NOR/NAND flash memory with the code independent in the “flsh.hex“ file which should be plugged into the right most USB port. The process should only take a couple of minutes as the PS3 will beep and and then shut itself down if the code injection exploit worked.

If your PS3 freezes (the virtual mouse won’t respond) for more than than x minutes power down the PS3 past belongings the power push down (the one on the PS3 itself). Later on a few seconds your PS3 will shut downwardly. Turn on your PS3 and then when the prompt to scan the difficult drive for errors comes up printing O (circle) to cancel it, load the web browser back upwardly and endeavour the exploit once more. It may have many tries to go the exploit to work (it took me three hours of rebooting until information technology finally worked). Y’all’ll know when it worked when the PS3 beeps and shuts down all past itself.

​

One time you have the patched firmware (yous got this by a successful exploitation of the system) y’all can go on to install REBUG. Start you want to disconnect the PS3 from the Internet and remove any disc in the drive. Adjacent download the “REBUG_4.82.1_LITE_ PS3UPDAT.PUP” archive, extract it, rename the “PUP” file to “PS3UPDAT.PUP” (brand sure it’s all caps) and then follow the same process for flashing this CFW as already covered in in this guide (recall, place it under PS3/UPDATE on the FAT32 formatted USB bulldoze and so run the System Update selection).

​

Once the firmware is installed successfully y’all now have a homebrew enabled Sony PS3 console! Welcome to the world of homebrew!

Peachy. I’m glad it helped.

I am non beginer,only i cant connect ps3 cyberspace browser with miniweb on my pc.What i am doing wrong?And yes,i utilize tarzan english.I stuck on this footstep in all tutorials.This and the others.

Solved.Run miniweb on second laptop and everything working fine.PS3 is now on CFW.

Recently started using the PS3 over again and seems the previously replaced laser might be on its way out once again, and then thought it was time to upgrade to a CFW.

Its a CECHJ03 / 2.xvi Fat version from 2008 so thats skilful.

Got as far as – ‘You’ll want to download and extract the “NOR_NAND_writer_release_1.0_PS3Xploit.nothing‘ but mediafire have deleted the file.

Cant seem to see anything similar in the tools department.

And looks like the OP hasn’t been online since june then not sure I’ll be able to get aid there. Anyone else suggest anything pls?

Been looking around using google & it sent me correct back to hither –
http://world wide web.psx-place.com/threads/ps…even-easier-to-install-cfw-on-4-82-ofw.16139/

Will contine to read around as I’ve institute another tutorial that seems to recommend downgrading to 3.55 first before going to 4.82 –
http://www.psx-identify.com/threads/pinkys-ps3-tutorials.1546/#★ How To Install Custom Firmware ★

Says it not necessary but nevertheless worth doing. But this tutorial doesn’t so not sure nevertheless.
