Hey guys, with this video i want to fill some of the missing informations from the Previous one, and give you some updates on what's going on with Ps3xploit, anyway use only the BG Toolset i provided in description as others may brick your console.

One thing i forgot to add in this updated video is to make sure your date and time on the console is up to date.

UPDATE 1: ps3xploit.me is coming back online and it is already online in some countries
UPDATE 2: All other bg toolset seems to be Offline since a few hours, i'll keep you updated and in the meantime i'm working on hosting it myself
Reccommended Firmware 4.87 - 4.89 at the moment, otherwise it will brick your console.



INFO: To be more correct about HFW, it is refered as Hybrid Firmware -> Hybrid Firmware (HFW) is for those people with a firmware base of 3.56 or higher. Made by the ps3xploit team, this type of firmware allows non-CFW compatible console models to run homebrew

Let me know if it is working for you in the comments, i can't test it atm since i will not be able to access my ps3 for a couple of weeks

[EvilGucio]

I can confirm it works 100%! Installed Evilnat Cobra 4.89 without any problems, thank you!

[cibe]

Check the description for new mirrors. 4.87 - 4.89 Only.
Please do not update to 4.90 Firmware.

Hi perfect tutorial! Very good jobs! Works 100% for my ps3 slim cech2004a (Others didnt work due to the ps3xploit page is off, and alter Link went to a bgtoolset in russian language)

[rainsnow]

Thanks mate, thought all BGtoolset mirrors were down after mistakenly updating firmware after a dead hdd 👍

[austenteeuwen]

Everytime that I put the website into the browser on my ps3 it says it’s either checking to see if the site connection is secure and it won’t load up I guess it’s a fire wall from cloud or something or it just says the page can’t be displayed… I have the latest update 4.89 and my clock and date is set to todays

Hey bud. Much appriciated the effort to make this video! My console is on 4.10 ofw, and it's bluetooth module is dead. Im looking to JB it to CFW no bt no bd, so i would be able to use it again. Is it absolutely imperative to upgrade it to 4.89 ofw before using toolset, or it can "pass" after 4.10? I presume that upgrading from current 4.10 to 4.89 OFW would put console into upgrade loop, as BT module is not working

I installed CFW evilant 4.90. previously had HFW hen 4.90. my modz don't work anymore. It opens at the beginning of the game and then nothing works. just playing normally. why is it? Do I have to reinstall the modz again?

[markoeberhardt]

So I already have Cobra CFW 8.3 and my ps3 is on System software 4.88. How should I update to the newest Cobra? Because wouldn’t updating the system first ruin the way it’s already set up?

[engindurmaz]

many thanks for your effort. have the firmware from psx place page. I first switched back to Hen 4.90. everything works again. Could I install rebug CEX 4.84? have the phat PS3 or do I still have to downgrade? Thanks for everything man.

[leodrago]

Why is USB 8gb or less recommended, can't i use a 16gb in fat32? Thanks

[insaneoflex]
