Hacking Is my PS3 hackable?

[zootoxin]

Thank you for the advice.

What would be my preference is no hardware tinkering - I have seen videos of people installing new circuit boards and melting solder etc. I am not really up to that.

But if I do a software CFW change does that mean I can't even play my actual game disks online (e.g. FiFA 14)

Am I right in assuming the ODE update is soldering and circuit board method?

My apologies if I am asking frustrating questions.

With CFW, playing online without getting banned is a bit tricky. There are some tools to help mask the CFW online, but it's only a matter of time before your console gets flagged for banning. As far as I know, even playing retail discs on CFW can get you flagged. The tools available should be able to get you by for a while, but it's definitely not a long-term solution.

For ODEs, it will require a bit of soldering for your PS3 model yes, but it's a bit safer in terms of online play. Though as I mentioned in a previous post, Sony released a new update that helps detect ODEs and there has yet to be any updates regarding whether ODEs will be safe to use in the future.

So you're sort of stuck between CFW and having a high risk of being banned, or an ODE + waiting for an update to help bypass the risk for ban.

Thank you for being so helpful and explaining the in's and out's to me.

I think I will hold off for the time being and review at a later date whats happening with the ODE scene.

Sorry back again, just need to clear up a point.

A shop near me offers a PS3 downgrade service.
When they have downgraded my PS3 I take it, it will be on a 3.50 or 3.40 official firmware?

If I wanted to do CFW from that point I won't need anything other than a USB stick and the relevant files to install the custom firmware on my PS3, which would allow me to play backup ISOs?

most downgraders should put you on 3.55 or a CFW of your choice. Either way you can go straight to the latest firmware from either of the two.

OK so being a member over at ps3jailbreaking.com and psx-scene.com and knowing habit about downgrading here's a quick guide.

Cech2001-24xx can be downgraded.
If your on anything above 3.55 you MUST use a hardware flasher I.e proskeet or an E3.
If your own a 3.55 system all you must do is download the CFW.
ANY SITE THAT REQUIRES A SURVEY IS FAKE AND WILL BRICK YOUR PS3!
IF YOUR REQUIRED TO ENTER A PASSWORD TO UNZIP THE FILE ITS A FAKE AND WILL BRICK YOUR PS3!
If you have any other questions about jailbreaking message me or post here and I'll respond asap.

ok since you are an authority here are 2 questions i never found answers to in the ps3 scene
1) can you use a progskeet with a clip on instead of soldering? and does it have a chip clip for both nand and nor models? and are there kits or do you have to guess what components you need to get a solderless solution and buy the clip and progskeet separately

2) since e3 never released their NAND version of e3 flasher , no NAND clip, is there a way to use a NAND chip clip for a proskeet on a non solderless E3 flasher? and where do youn find a guide on how to wire up a progskeet or toehr NAND clip to a non solderless e3 NAND flasher?

because i have NEVER been able to fine even ONE decent or even halfway decent video , guide tutotrial or set of instructins on how to downgrade a ps3 with NAND solderless , on NOR with E3 flasher, do any such tutorials even exist and in english ? becaus ei have never seen any
seem like nobody gives a shit about NAND ps3 owners who are not masters of soldering

my advice would be this

1 )just get an ODE ,its not even worth it to mess with shitty china made flashers and clips, you can buy an ODE for the same price or a little more than an E3 flasher and save yourself a huge headache

2) if you buy a new used PS3 not on 3.55 or lower MAKE SURE IT IS A NOR AND NOT A NAND MODEL

3)if you have a NAND model and plan to downgrade, DONT ,sell it and buy a NOR model , there are no good guides to downgrading a NAND model

 

[Zer0900]

That's terrible advice, ODE's are pretty much done at this point. And yes, you can downgrade a nand ps3 with a clip and progskeet, it can be a pita sometimes, but it can be done.

downgrade ps3 with progskeet and nand clip

Easy Answer to PS3 haxin.

If...
Your PS3 is 3.55 or below you can hack it yourself
Your PS3 is over 3.55 you can consult a ps3 hacking organization todo it for a small sum, or buy anew already hacked PS3.

In sweden the hacking orgs takes 110 dollars to hack it.
anew hacked PS3 costed me about 220 dollars.

I bought it 1 year ago, have full access to twitch, stream movies on navi-X, 150 ps3 games ive played more or less without any problems. And since a month I updated to latest 'hax' firmware and can play online n visit psn.

I can assure you that sooner or later you'll get flagged and banned - online on a modded system is not a question of if, it's a question of when. All it takes is one change to the server-side online protocol or one game like CoD that uses proprietary server technology and your system can get boned in an instant and no amount of stealth apps can save you. I personally discourage going online with CFW or ODDE's installed, it's a dangerous game that, in my opinion, isn't worth it.

As for "consulting a pirate organization", there's nothing you can do on a PS3 that's not compatible with 3.55 short of installing an ODDE, which is a viable solution, but you can do it yourself - the installation isn't that difficult and depending on the PS3 model it can even be solderless.

hi all, i have a ps3 2003a on 4.60 firmware, I have googled a bit and it seems it can be downgraded? Do I need a hardware flasher or can I use the USB method I keep coming across?

Thanks

You will need a hardware flasher to get to 3.55, from that point onwards you can use the USB method to install any firmware you want, including custom ones.

I found a PS3 CECH-2002A/ 4.66 can you confirm me whether this is downgrade-able?

According to the link above, yes it can. You'll need a hardware flasher, as mentioned above to do so.

U prob right.

As of, i havent touched any online games , only accessed psn to get netflix and
vevo.

Gaming online I have no reference to, so yeah, I cant talk about such things.
Sorry i wrote gaming online previously. I meant just access psn to get apps.

i got a ps3 slim CECH-3004B and i want to know if this is hackable

 

[yusuo]

I know someone who knows the answer I call him the almighty googaplex but his friends call him google

 

[RevPokemon]

Very true 300X models can never be downgraded they came with a firmware over 3.55 and a new metldr that hasn't been hacked. Either get a new PS3 or get an ODE. I would like to see where EVERYONE is saying this as every PS3 site I venture to that is legit says it can't be done and i know it can't be done. Lay off the BS sites laden with survey's they are all fake.

Hackable? Only with ODE - with swap disc and requires a fair amount of soldering and disc swapping.
CFW? Not at all - and never will.

Please link your google source.
