- Download NAND/NOR Writer | Virus Scan
- Place flsh.hex in the root folder of your usb key.
- Place your usb drive in the USB port closest to the BD Drive of your console
- Set a blank homepage in your PS3 Web browser
- Navigate to the website http://redthetrainer.com/ps3/
- Select PS3 4.xx NOR NAND WRITER
- Bookmark the page, and close your browser
- re-open your browser and select the page you bookmarked
- Select the button that says Write to #### Flash Memory
- Now, if you are lucky, in a minute or so your console should beep and shut down. Congrats!
- Otherwise, if even after 15 minutes it's still there (or the "wave" background gets stuck), attempt failed.
- In this case, just press off button, restart console, wait for filesystem to be checked, then re-try hack.
- This may happen even after "Suceeded!" warning. That alone means nothing, don't proceed any further unless PS shuts down.
- Turn on PS3 again, and while it checks its file system.
- Download the CFW of your choice. I recommend 4.82 FERROX Standard
- Place it in the usb drive (remember to rename the PUP to PS3UPDAT.PUP) and update.
- Once it installed, download QA_Toggle to the root of your drive | VIRUS SCAN
- Use the newly available "Install Package Files" entry from the "games" tab to install the file
- Run the new QA flagger app, then wait some seconds until it gets you back to the XMB
- Restart console.
- Download REBUG 4.81.2 REX EDITION to usb key and update console in the usual way
Frequently Asked Questions & Additional Notes
Why am I getting a corrupted file error?
Will this jailbreak my SuperSlim?
Why am I getting a corrupted file error?
- Redo the exploit and try again
Will this jailbreak my SuperSlim?
- NO, (PS3Xploit has strong possibility to eventually evolve into a HEN style exploit (that aspect will take some additional development and time, at this time PS3Xploit exploit has not evolved enough)
- Yes, however you must Toggle QA Flag. Once the Token is activated you have the ability to then freely jump CFW versions. (see below for details)
- When on a CFW download & install >>> QA TOGGLER (Standalone), (Note: Will just show a black screen then reboot the PS3 and returns to xmb. A Restart is RequiredA fterwards though or cfw syscalls will be disabled (meaning your CFW patches will be disabled until the next boot, so a reboot is required after the Toggler exits back to the XMB.)
- No, installing the "999 downgrader" PUP on a 3.56 minver console, it will brick the console, simply just Toggle the Q/A Flag and play itsafe and is so simple to move from CFW versions (up and down from version to version).
- You must have a PS3 Console that has a Factory Firmware of 3.56 and below.
- To check, its easy with this simple tool for OFW, Download minverchk.rar
- Then place the .pup file on a FAT32 USB Flash Drive in a PS3/UPDATE folder (create path if needed)
- Now on the PS3 XMB goto Setting ->> System Update >>> Update via Media Storage
- Once shown on the list select the PUP and install, shortly after there will be a message showing the factory firmware the console was shipped,
- For this we want 3.56 and below.
- ANYTHING HIGHER THEN 3.56 IS NOT ABLE INSTALL A CFW. Sorry this will not work for your console, but there could be a HEN (Homebrew Enabler) possible for running homebrew, but additional research and time is needed for achievement, additional details can be read here.
- The dumper is to get a backup of the nor chip
- The writer is to jailbreak your console. (Adding a patch to OFW to allow CFW installation)
