I need help upgrading my hard drive

Replacing the hdd is simple. Depending on which model you have, slim, phat, or superslim, the procedure is slightly different.

The slim has a single screw at the bottom of the system behind a small, visible compartment. Then you just move the front panel over.

you'll also have to reinstall the firmware, which goes on there like this: PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP in all caps. I've never owned a phat to tell you how to replace the hdd, so you'll have to look that up.

 

Yes, just make sure you reinstall the same exact version you had... Don't wanna fuck anything up by using a different version. So if you still have the PS3UPDATE.PUP file, use it again.

 

Yes, it's that easy

 

remove the spoof before installing new firmware or reinstalling the old one.

 

Removing it on phat is also very easy: remove plastic little cover on the left side, unscrew the bottom screw, unhook the drive (pull towards the front of the ps3 then sideways out of the console.

 

Has anyone created a PS3/4/5 filesystem explorer for PC yet? Windows or Linux? (Sort of like the Xplore360.exe for Xbox harddrives.)

 

there's one for the ps3 on windows, but it requires the erk (eid root key). I don't know if you can inject anything into it, but you can dump things with it. there may also be one for linux for the ps4, but I'm not entirely sure. I think you need the eap key there.

the ps3 one can be found with ps3 tools by aldostools.

it's under conversion tools. I don't have mine setup, but I just looked for it.
