jailbreaking question
 

sorry really new to this lol, i have a ps3 currently running on 4.00fw and was wondering if there is a way to jailbreak it or ever will be? also once jailbroken are u still able to play online?

cheers

Well, you could jailbreak it yourself if you wanted to subject yourself to hours and hours of research each day for about 24 consecutive months. Probably more. (Maybe less, it all depends on how fast you're able to grasp things)

After about two years of research in the C++ language (among others), you will have a somewhat respectable span of knowledge. You could use this knowledge to possibly - I am not making any guarantees - fulfill your longings for a 4.0 jailbreak - which by this time, should already be jailbroken by another.

Or you could just wait for KaKaRoTo's jailbreak to be released. It's up to you.

You could of just said no not yet be patient, your answer to him was about as useful as Ann franks drumkit , no need to patronise the guy


Sent from my head at the time

I made a constructive post. What's the problem? I gave him his options and even told him about KaKaRoTo's jailbreak. What if he actually codes up the scene something nice? I bet you would take that and eat it up.

And bringing Anne Frank into this, wow. Is she the only thing you could have used in your "analogy" or are you just trying to offend me?

I'm doing neither , it's just you could of just said no its not possible at the moment stay tuned , like most people would do . But you just spouted out superfluous info that was patronising saying about years of research , the bloke was just looking for a simple answer yes or no pretty much

Wait can't this be done using e3 flasher ?

yes he could downgrade as long as its not a brand new unshakable console though he never asked that, he asked is there a jailbreak for 4.00 and if not will there ever be one (making it seem he doesn't want to downgrade his ps3) :):):):):)

I've only just started reading about all this so if you could stick with me I have a couple of questions

1 from what I understand you must downgrade fw to 3.55 to be able to run your games from hdd etc

2 what's the difference in downgrading or flashing custom fw and jailbreaking ?

I appreciate any advice and have read a few tutorials but would just like some clarification

Thanks

Jim

Well downgrading is the process in which you use a piece of hardware usually refered to as a flasher to force a downgrade of a console to a hackable state in PS3's case 3.55 (firmware).

The word flashing just means upgrading/downgrading the firmware, usually found in rom, but usually used in conjunction with a flasher when talking about PS3 downgrading.

Ok so is jaibreaking just another term for flashing custom firmware or is it something you do after flashing custom firmware ?
