Tutorial: swap between different PS3 firmware (CFW, OFW, or MFW) Shaitan, from psx-scene, has written up a nice tutorial on how to swap between different PS3 firmware, without the need of expensive USB devices.
i 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 cant enable “System Update Debug.
Here’s the tutorial written by Shaitan:
- Enable QA Flag Extra and go to the debug settings and enable “System Update Debug”
- Then use Multiman’s file manager(or other) and create a folder in /dev_hdd0 called “updater”, so it’s /dev_hdd0/updater/
- then create folders in that directory for the firmwares called 01, 02, 03, ect.(Dont miss a number or it will error).
- Now copy whichever PS3UPDAT.PUP into one of those folders and…
- Rename it to whatever you want, you dont even need the .PUP at the end.
- Now go to System Update then Update via Hard Disk
- And it should look something like this:
