Guide to UNHACKING Your PS3 - PS3Hax Network

Annelies · 03-04-2012

The Purpose of This Guide:

People are often sold hacked consoles and don't know what to do with them. They might come to the realization that having a hacked system isn't their thing. It's one of those things that's not meant for everybody. There's nothing wrong with that, but before this guide was posted, I noticed there wasn't a place for these unfortunate individuals to turn. Thus, this thread was born.

Prerequisites:

PlayStation 3 Running Custom Firmware w/ Internet Access
USB Storage Device (At Least 1GB) (FAT32)
Computer w/ Internet Access
PSNinja V4

Rejuvenation:

1. Format the PS3 HDD

(If You Want to Backup Your SAVE DATA then NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT!)

Full Format is SAFER but LONGER
Quick Format is FASTER but is NOT AS SAFE

So far there have been 0 recorded bans related to hacking so it is unlikely you will feel the negative effects of a Quick Format but the choice is yours.

2. Download and Install PSNinja V4

Download PSNinja V4 (Links are above)
Move the .PKG File to the Root of Your USB Storage Device
Plug Your USB Storage Device Into Your PS3 and Install the PSNinja V4 .PKG via *Install Package Files

3. Run PSNinja V4

Run PSNinja V4
Select Wipe History
Exit PSNinja V4 and DELETE IT

4. Install Official Sony Firmware

Update via System Update

Enjoy PSN

Awesome tutorial @Annelies . Just a thought, it's better to put a link to "how to get into recovery" for noobs. That will save you the headache of noobs asking

Once you update, the only way back to 3.55FW is via a hardware flasher....Progskeet, E3 Flasher, Teensy++.

No offense @Annelies but this thread is a waste of space if i ever saw one....... I could sum this up in three steps...... install OFW 3.55, reformat your HDD, upgrade to latest OFW........... sorry but that is just common ****ing knowledge

also the rest of your steps are wrong..... if you don't want to reformat...... you delete all **** then run ps3ninja not the other way around..... what you recommended is like washing your hands before you piss... not after

GHOziLINA · 03-28-2012

lol so if your hands are dirty you will take a piss 1st then wash it after wards

or will you wash it then piss and wash it again afterwards?
