I was just about to sell my ps3. I dunno if something comes up, I just might hold onto it, I hear you can play any ps2 title on slim, so there's that.

I have a PS3 with CFW 4.81 Rebug, but this PS3 have problems with temperatures (I use the ice-cream stick trick to get them ok), sometimes games freezes and HDMI does not work. I think a reballing is needed. But I have seen a PS3 Slim second-hand for 35€, so I think I'll probably buy one :P
Uhh.. Get $5 thermal paste and repaste it?

Super Slims will, at best, get homebrew enablers that may allow for backups to be played. It's very unlikely a full CFW will be released for Super Slims, as it's still required to downgrade to 3.55 to install one, something Super Slims can't do.

I'm only interested if things can be installed to a hard drive or loaded from USB. At this point in the PS3 life cycle, it's a matter of convenience as opposed to cost. With the PSN Flash Sales and the current market for used PS3 titles most games (unless they are rare titles) can be had for very little cost. PS2 compatibility is much higher on my list of wants so I can officially retire my FAT PS2.

Then get a phat or slim model CECH-2
NOT a CECH-3 / CECH-4
and if you get a CECH-25 check it can be downgraded
Then you can use this to install cfw

If you have a none downgradable CECH-25 /CECH-3 / CECH-4 then your going to have to wait that little bit longer for anything more than psn game injection

From the psx-place article "UPDATE >>>>: Its appears that 4.82 DID NOT close the PS3Xploit. "
and: " UPDATE 2 - THIS UPDATE DID NOT CLOSE PS3XPLOIT BUT ITS EXPECTED TO BE PATCHED WITH A FUTURE UPDATE, IT WAS JUST COINCIDENCE SONY HAD A PLANNED UPDATE< NEXT firmware update is sure to patch this exploit and we would assume it would be in the next week(s). "

So my situation is that I have a Slim 2500 that can go down to 3.50 and a SuperSlim that I bought as a backup should the old beast fail. The thing to do it seems, is to deactivate the 2500 and use the SuperSlim OFW for PSN.

I looked through the guides and there is none that explains how to transfer everything from one PS3 to the other without having to upgrade / circumvent PSN and have everything working. Based on the statements it's very low risk to upgrade to 4.82 and perform the deactivation / transfer / activation using the Transfer Tool and an ethernet cable. The 2500 (for which I got the IDPS ages ago) can sit until it's downgradable in March 2018 or so, while the SuperSlim is the main system that can go to any OFW.

Does anyone see a problem with this (other than the low risk of something being missed in 4.82)?

My PS3 is downgradable up until 3.56
Will this exploit allow me to get CFW running on my PS3, or will I have to wait for another one?

Setup and dump your idps
If you can do that then your ready for this
