because it clearly states that it is for anyone on or below firmware 3.55

[mrbudders]

i seen that itskamel, just this was the only tutorial I had found and thought it would be a good place to start asking for others w/ the same board/ofw as I have.

@mrbudders

You can also use e3 flasher to downgrade that model.

But I would suggest searching, to find your answers. Because this thread is for people following the guide.

Their are other tuts here but they seem to be confused about the whole patching their firmware. The method i will show you will involve a pre patched pup. So you wont have to worry about doing this. Now in this tutorial i will explain to you how to flash your ps3 with the required jailbroken pup, then install MultiMAN, BDEMU2, BlackboxFTP, OpenPS3FTP, and REBUG 3.72 spoof. Here is what you will need. 1. ps3 2. usb stick formated to fat 32 3. ps3 on fimware 3.55 or below 4. ps3 official 3.55 firmware (download below) 5. kmeaw 3.55 pre patched pup (download below) 6. the ability to read 7. Winrar or UnrarX (download below) Now lets start. Part 1 Installing Official Sony Firmware 3.55 Click here to see full text (if your already on 3.55 and not jailbroken. skip to part 2) Ok so your not on firmware 3.55, then you will need to download a official firmware 3.55. This can be found here. http://www.ps3hax.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=557 Now that you have downloaded the above pup, create a folder on your usb stick (fat 32) called PS3. Then in that folder create another folder named UPDATE. Then Place your update in there. So it should look like this. X:/PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP Now update via recovery menu or the xmb. If you dont know how to access recovery menu then here is a video. (note this is not my video, just a random video i found on youtube) How to get the Recovery Menu on your PS3 - YouTube Part 2 Installing Custom Firmware Kmeaw Click here to see full text Ok so your on 3.55 official Sony firmware. Now it is time to install a CFW / MFW aka custom firmware / modified firmware This is going to be the same as part 1. You will download a pre patched cfw (KMEAW) This is the most stable and best firmware for someone new to jailbreaking. Download kmeaw from one of the links below. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T0YHICGI http://www.mediafire.com/?jyddh65v4ro210s After you have downloaded this, then you will need to extract the pup from the rar file this is where you will need winrar for windows or unrar for mac. here are the links Winrar (for windows) http://www.win-rar.com/download.html UnrarX (for mac) http://www.unrarx.com/ Now that you have downloaded the above pup, and extracted it, create a folder on your usb stick (fat 32) called PS3. Then in that folder create another folder named UPDATE. Then Place your update in there. So it should look like this. X:/PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP Now update via recovery menu or the xmb. Congradulations, you are now jailbroken your ps3. Now i warn you DO NOT UPDATE FOR ANY REASON. Part 3 Installing Your Backup Manager (MultiMAN) Click here to see full text Now that we have jailbroken your ps3, you should now have 2 extra icons in your xmb under the game catagory. Install PKG Files and App_home/ PS3 Game. Now time to install your backup manager. There are a few to choose from. The one I will have you install is multiMAN because it is the best. multiMAN download http://www.multiupload.com/42I04VRHL8 now that we have downloaded multiMAN put it on the root of your usb stick. It should look like this. X:/multiman.pkg Put the flash drive in your ps3 and navigate to install pkg files. Install multiMAN. now you should see multiMAN under the catagory game in the XMB. Part 4 Installing BDEMU2 Click here to see full text This is required for multiMAN to work correctly. BDEUM2 download http://www.4shared.com/get/H7awEu5-/BDEMU2.html Next same as we did multiMAN. We will put it in the root of your usb stick. It should look like this. X:/BDEMU2.pkg Install it. You wont see any icon in the XMB for this. Next go into multiMAN settings and go to bd-emulator and set it to hermes. (this will be for playing split games) Now you have successfully installed your backup manager. Part 5 (optional) Installing FTP To Your PS3 Click here to see full text Install Blackbox FTP or Openps3ftp. The video below there is showing how to use Blackbox. (note also not my video just a random one i picked to show how to use the program) I suggest Openps3ftp as it is faster. Also if you use openps3ftp you will need to set the username to "root" BlackboxFTP download http://www.mediafire.com/?n7tiiihuco9cdta OpenPS3FTP http://ps3.dashhacks.com/downloads/openps3ftp Next to install the same as we did the other pkg's X:/BlackboxFTP.pkg or X:/OpenPS3FTP.pkg now if you chose to install OpenPS3FTP instead of Blackbox then your icon will be in network catagory instead of game. Now i suggest using downloading Filezilla to use on the computer end. here is a link for that http://filezilla-project.org/ How to use BlackBox FTP 1.2 on 3.55 - YouTube Part 6 (optional) (NO NEED FOR THIS UNTIL REBUG UPDATES THEIR SPOOF) Installing REBUG 4.00 Spoof Click here to see full text I suggest you install a spoofer to keep from unwanted updates. I cannot provide you with a direct download link for this. (to respect Team Rebug) But you can get it yourself by visiting the link below. Attention: if the spoof links are not working then see the first post on the rebug home page http://rebug.me ok so a couple of people are having trouble understanding about the spoof download. so here it goes. Go to the REBUG site and choose the 4.00 spoof for 3.55. Then you will have a file on your computer that is a rar file. Extract it, now you will have a text file with links. Choose a link from the text file and copy it to your web browser then hit enter, and you will be taken to the download of the spoof. Install this the same way you did the other pkg files X:/spoof.pkg Then follow the on screen instructions. You will Need to hold down L1 + X. Now give the spoof time to install. It might seem like its froze but it is not. Then when its done it will prompt you to reboot. Go to system settings and check the version number should now be 4.00. (this is correct) You are still on 3.55. You are only making your ps3 think that it is on 4.00 to keep it from being updated. Also leave the spoofer in the xmb game menu, so that it can easily be uninstalled. Part 7 Backing Up A Game With MultiMAN Click here to see full text Insert the game you wish to backup to your ps3. You can back up games to a external hard drive, but it also must be formated to fat 32. Now that you have a game in your ps3. I suggest you choose a older game so that we dont have problems. Just until you get the hang of it. Launch multiMAN. hover over the game and hit triangle on the ps3 controller. If you are backing up to internal choose yes. If you wish to back up to external choose no, and you will be asked if you want to do external choose yes. Ok so now the game is backed up. Eject the disc and put in another. Now in multiMAN choose the game that you backed up. It should kick you back to the XMB. This is normal. Now the disc that you have in the drive should be labeled as the game you selected in multiMAN. Enjoy playing Backups. Part 8 (optional) Backing up a game that requires a update and a eboot fix. Click here to see full text Alright so you want to play a game that is requires a fix. For this example I am going to use Mortal Kombat 9. This game is a post 3.55 firmware game so it will require a game update, EBOOT and DFENGINE.SPRX file replacement. 1. back up the game (mk9) 2. now you will need to download update 1.01 for your version of the game. eg BLUS OR BLES. The update will be in pkg format. Now you will put it on the root of your usb drive. And install. 3. Now you need to download the Eboot Fix, and in this case also DFENGINE.SPRX. This can easily be found by searching for example "mk9 3.55 fix". 4. Next you will replace thos files via ftp. Or if you have a external hard drive then hook it to the computer and replace the files. 5. Now to change the PARAM.SFO (dont worry about this multiMAN will do this for you) Eboots are located at GAMES/BLUS****/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN hope that clears that part up a little bit. ATTENTION: I will provide support for this tutorial as long as people are still using it. So if you have a problem post in the thread and I will be glad to help you. Also you must know this tutorial will not let your custom firmware have any kind of PSN access, or will it let you play the latest games. Not even with the spoof. If this tutorial helped you get to where you wanted to be. Use the like button in the bottom right hand of this post. I spent a while writing this and editing it so it would be simple for everyone to follow.

@sleepy174 you need to make a reverter for 4.21 apparently you can do this with OFW 4.21 and MFW builder.

Is the kmeaw cfw still the number one you should use, or are there any better?

hi, I'm noob on ps3 jailbreaking..i followed your instructions and jailbroken my ps3..i bought tekken 6 BLUS 30359 and I want to make a backup of this game into my internal HDD. If I backup this game using multiman can I play this game without the game disc inserted? thanks

Rogero 3.55 CFW v3.4, it is basically an updated version of KMEAW (still firmly rooted in 3.55) but maintained more recently. You can find it in my sig under PS3 FW then go to MFW-CEX > downgrader > Rogero and find v3.4

As a rule, it is best to have a (any old) PS3 game disc in the drive to ensure maximum compatibility.

you mean any ps3 game disc even it is not the tekken disc?
I will just follow the instruction here to backup my game, then do i still need to have a patch or the fix for 3.55 kmeaw to play the backup?
also I am using multiman v02.09.02, do i need to update to latest version??
many thanks

[DEFAULTDNB]

Yes any PS3 game or bluray movie disc will suffice, no matter what game you are trying to run.

I keep BF2 bad company in the drive 24/7 as I know it contains no update greater than 3.55 (to avoid accidental upgrade).
