How To – Swap Firmware on PS3 without USB – PS3 HDD

Category: PS3admin @ 4:35 pm

Shaitan has shared with everyone an easy way to change between CFWs, OFWs, and MFWs on your Jailbroken PS3 consoles; a new way that does not require a USB device in order to install the firmware of your choice. I will let him explain the rest.

Hi guys, I’m always looking for ways to make my PS3 experience easier so this was awesome. It’s nothing special but I’m constantly needing to change firmwares like many of you so I thought I’d share it.

To do this it’s best to use QA Flag Extra since most firmwares can not enable “System Update Debug”.

  1. Enable QA Flag Extra and go to the debug settings and enable “System Update Debug”
  2. Use Multiman’s file manager(or other) and create a folder in /dev_hdd0 called “updater”, so it’s /dev_hdd0/updater/
  3. Create folders in that directory for the firmwares called 01, 02, 03, ect.(Dont miss a number or it will error).
  4. Copy whichever PS3UPDAT.PUP into one of those folders and……..
  5. Rename it to whatever you want, you dont even need the .PUP at the end.
  6. Go to System Update then Update via Hard Disk and it should look something like this:

 

P.S. Updates take only 3 minutes with this!
