Hacking Quickest CFW 4.87 Restore after family member formatted HDD:sleep:

[StavrosZA]

Greetings Fellow members,

so my nephew took his console to his friends home and they formatted the hdd by accident.
Removing some 100 games and Multiman.
Could someone assist me to a link/ restore guide in the right direction?

The cfw is still installed, just grab an MBR & FAT32 (or 16) usb drive, download the homebrews you want in .pkg format, put them on the root of the usb, insert it into the rightmost port of the console, and install them from Game > ★ Package Installer (exact name may vary)

You will of course have to redump or at least retransfer your game backups in the appropriate locations, and hopefully you had a save backup because there aren't other practical alternatives!
