moses_373 151 Posted November 3, 2016 Hi all! So I just got my hands on a backwards compatible PS3 phat that I'm going to downgrade using a teensy 2.0 ++. Thing is, I haven't had a finger on the PS3 scene for a looooong time. Apparently, Rogero is no longer in the scene and his CFW was my go to back in the day. So question is, with all the different CFW flavors out there, does anyone here have a recommendation on which firmware I should go with? And if you have the inclination, could you tell me why? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted November 3, 2016 I couldnt tell you, but there is a 4.80 habib firmware on google. The latest OFW is 4.81, but I didnt see any CFW running 4.81. I would check the PS3 Hacking forums, as I have been away from the PS3 scene for quite a while. Always an xbox fan, never really liked the PS systems. Really, any CFW should work, as you can update to another CFW from any CFW. So go with what you know, and experiment from there. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moses_373 151 Posted November 3, 2016 Thanks Gavin! I'm with you, even bought the xbone over the PS4 (anyone else here addicted to Destiny?) Mostly taking on this project just to add to the collection. It seems like the last time I really checked it out that Habib was taking over for Rogero, so if he's still developing then that is probably the best way to go.

Turranius 31 Posted November 3, 2016 I'd recommend Rebug. No 4.81 yet, but it'll be here soon (4.81 was just released). So go with Rebug 4.80.1. Read NOR/NAND Patch NOR/NAND Write NOR/NAND Install Rogero Downgrader 9.99 from restore menu. Boot, install QA enabler. Make sure you get 3 beeps (or your BD drive is not connected right). Install Official Firmware 3.55 from restore menu. Install Rebug 4.80.1 from normal dash. As usuall, when upgrading / installing a CFW, make sure you do not have a disc in it, game mounted and disconnect from the internet. http://www.psx-place.com/threads/4-81-cfw-custom-firmware-updated-homebrew-apps-plugins-tools-spoofs-and-more.11410/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
