3.55 Jailbreaking Tutorial

Ok i see a lot of people asking what is the best and easiest way to jailbreak their ps3.
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

Spoiler:

(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)

Part 2

Installing Custom Firmware Kmeaw

Spoiler:

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)

Spoiler:

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

Spoiler:

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

Spoiler:

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

Part 6 (optional)

Installing REBUG 4.00 Spoof

Spoiler:

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.


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

Spoiler:

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.

Spoiler:

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.

OK So my kid updated the FW to 4 while I was hollering NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO from the other room.... I've done the jailbreak bit.. but can I go in the reverse?

[iGoTiT4FrEe]

If your kid updated to fw 4.0 then there isn't much you can do other than use some hardware and soldering to downgrade

Hi Itskamel

Thank for the great tutorial on doing these things.
We have a PS3 fw 3.55 and have finally had success in using the Cobra usb soft hack. We can play backups taken from existing PS3 games here in Japan. Little success with PS2 games (From Australia) my son's favs!! They start but then seem to pause at the first game screen.

My biggest problem at the moment is how do we access game files from an external usb drive (FAT32)? we can copy games from PS3 internal drive to ex HDD but not the other way.

I've heard we need Multiman to do this, is this correct? Our crack is working at the moment and don't want to break it if you know what I mean.
Thank again for the tut. We'll have a look and maybe give it a go.

OK. so i installed rogero 4.30 v2.03 instead of kmeaw 3.55, i want to install multiman now but when i put multiman 4.17.00 on a fat32 flashdrive and plug it into the right usb drive and click install package files. the ps3 just sits on a black screen so i have to restart th e system and go back to the xmb in rogero. i dont know why install package files wont do its job, could it be that my disc drive went bad? i installed a new disc drive but havent gotten around to marrying it to the motherboard so it still wont recognize when a disc is in the tray..should i marry the drive to the motherboard before i try to install mM?

What 4.25 CFW are you on.

If you mean OFW then you need a hardware flasher to downgrade first to 3.55
