In short: My Fat PS3 which I used in tandem with a Cobra ODE died and now I got a used Slim model (CECH2004A) on OFW 4.82 which I intend to jailbreak via the webexploit. I think I get the webexploit done, but which CFW to chose and how to do it safely and how to use the CFW to play my dumps (ISOs) i used on the ODE is beyond me so far.
1. Which CFW do you recommend and why? I have to say that I intend to use my old ISO dumps I used on the Cobra ODE.
2. So after the exploit has been executed I shut the PS3 down, put the CFW file on the USB stick (PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP) and then press/hold the power button to get into the recovery menu, right? And then? Will a prompt appear to install the CFW?
3. Is there any indication in the XMB that cfw is running?
4. Do I need additional homebrew apps to get the ISOs working?
Sry for the noobish questions, I've hacked many consoles (Wii, Switch, Vita/PSTV, PS4), but it always seems that the process is quite different with each console and one starts from zero basically. XD
