Hacking New to Ps3 hacking

[WEbNomad]

I am looking to hack my ps3 slim. I’ve had it for years and recently have looked into hacking it. There’s so much info out there it’s hard to determine what’s the best way to go about doing it. I have been told to buy a cobra but I don’t know much about it. I want to be able to play games online like GTA. Is there anyone with more knowledge that can recommend the best way to hack a ps3 and what all parts I need to buy.

Check your firmware.. If it is 3.41 or 3.55 then it is hackable. There is newer one for 4.82 that is hackable but the link is above for 4.82.

I updated my ps3 not to long ago so I’m pretty sure it’s prob 4.82.

Ok so I was able to get away from work and checked my ps3 serial number- cf41575931-Cech-3001a. I am currently on 4.82 but need some help trying to figure out if it was once 3.55. How can I find this information out?

At the moment there is nothing you can do with that model.

Ok I will have to find one that I can mod. I’m just wondering if at this point it would be best to hack a ps4 rather than buy another old gaming system. That’s if it’s even possible to hack those yet. Thanks for all the help from you guys.

Because I remember some that shipped above 3.55 fw also this one is the 320gb that was shipped with.

 

[Purple_Heart]

A question not ps3 releated.
I have a ps4 on 5.00... Should i update to 5.01 in term of Hacks or is it already to late?

3.56 can be done.

 

[Purple_Heart]

Ahh cool i have a 3.56.... Good

I assume this can be done via the software route, I know for a fact it can be done via hardware. I don't see why software route would not work.

I’m looking into picking up a ps4 now. My real concern is how do I find one that can be hacked and is it worth hacking the ps4 over the ps3?

 

[WEbNomad]

I was able to pick up another ps3 for a decent price today. I looked at the list and it was on there so I figured it was a good deal. The guy told me it was a Cech-2001a. when I picked it up he said he upgraded it to a 320gb. My question is would that effect anything or can I still jailbreak it?
