2a- To use the miniweb.exe server, it is necessary to create a folder: htdocs 2b- The files *.html and *.js included in the zip files should be copied/moved to htdocs ​

1) Try using a LAN connection or a solid WiFi connection during exploitation. A weak signal can cause problems. 2) If the exploit takes more than 5 minutes to work, reload page, browser, or restart console and try again. 3) If you are using a LAN connection and experience network issues, make sure all cables to router are in working order.​

​

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)



Is my Model Compatible & Which Writer does my console need (NOR or NAND)?



Can I install a CFW before 4.82, such as Rebug 4.81 or an earlier CFW?

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)



How do I Toggle QA Flag?

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 Required. After toggling QA, 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.) Additional Info about Q/A flag can be seen here ( & also @ PS3Devwiki)



Should i use the "999 Downgrader" vs "Toggle QA" to install a different CFW?

No, installing the "999 downgrader" PUP can cause various issues like on a 3.56 minver console, it will brick the console, simply just Toggle the Q/A Flag and play it safe and is so simple to move from CFW versions (up and down from version to version).



How do i know for sure if my PS3 Model is compatible ?

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.



What is the basic purpose of the Writer & Dumper Tools Release?

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)



Do I have to setup my own web server or can (has) someone host this?

For best results and security it's advised/recommended to setup a local web-server to execute the webkit exploit, The best Unofficial Host we have found is from developer RED and his page: http://redthetrainer.com/ps3/



How to go from Ferrox 4.82 to Rebug 4.81?

.Question Raised Here , OR alternatively you can uses this UNOFFICIAL modified version of REBUG 4.81.2, that will install on 4.82 (without QA FLAG as it contains an edit to the syscon version) >>>> (View Tweet & Download Link)



Where can i find the latest 4.82 CFW?



Where can i find PS3 Homebrew?



New to PS3 CFW Community (Have CFW now installed and want to know a bit more)?

Here is a thread being started in the forums, An Intro to CFW & PS3 Homebrew . Covers various basic of firmware types and some essential apps. The thread is a WIP so expect additional items to be added.



PSX-Place Member @lord3490 provided some extra FAQs, to which the PS3Xploit team also added information.

​

Q: my console just froze and nothing's happening for over 10 minutes

A: turn off console, the exploit failed. 1. Make sure you got the correct file on USB thumb drive and it's formatted to fat32. 2. Use an ethernet cable connection instead of WiFi. 3. Double check your local Web server configuration & logs to see if it is not simply failing to send files to the ps3. A http server could fail for many reasons, bad configuration, bad permissions, Windows firewall options, AV software, router settings etc.... 4. Clean browser cache 5. Set ps3 browser homepage to about:blank (or to your exploit Web page) 6. Restart Browser 7. Try again





Q: the console shut down and beeped when using the exploit, however I'm getting an error when trying to install cfw?

A: there are a couple of possible reasons for that: 1. Did you make sure you flashed the correct file (nand/nor)? See q/a above 2. Try different 4.82 CFWs and make sure the md5 is correct after copying to fat32 thumb drive. 3. Try a different USB thumb drive or reformat it. 4. Install OFW 4.82 two times in a row then apply the patch using the PS3Xploit flash writer & finally install a 4.82 CFW. That should always solve the issue. 5. As a last resort, make a backup and format internal HDD (I just read that solved the problem for one user).





Q: when will there be a CFW or a HEN type of hack for newer ps3 models?

CFW (Custom Firmware): Not Possible

Not Possible HEN (Homebrew Enabler) : you may be able to use homebrew (even backup managers) later on. The devs are working on it and they won't be faster or release it earlier because you ask. The PS Vita / PlayStation TV use a HEN exploit (HENkaku) to give you a idea on what a HEN is for those of you who have followed the Vita Scene.

Keep dropping by this forum and you won't miss it once it's there. You will here it first from psx-place.com the official home of the PS3Xploit Team



Q: okay, I got a cfw installed. What do I do now?

A: Read . There is a lot of information on this forum. Use search function for specific topics and check out this thread >> An Intro to CFW & PS3 Homebrew to get started.



Q: where can I download games?

A: From PSN, for anything else you may want to read the forums rules! psx-place.com
