this comment has nothing to do with the video itself but i really want to thank you for the tutorials for modding the xbox 360, just modded yesterday and worked fine, had 3 xbox modded before thanks to your tutorials, keep up!
Man, i love how thorough your video tutorials are on modding/softmodding consoles. I followed this one and i was so happy to be using cfw on my PS3 Slim instead of the HEN i was using for 2 years.
I was following the process all smoothly and when verified the NOR it gave me a 004.08 asecure_loader 0x00 filled area warning. Can I continue without bricking? Pls help
The Toolset site wasn't live the other night when I tried it. I went to it to make sure my Ps3 fat could be CFW'd and it was live. I'm doing this in an hour. Thank you Mario!!
I downloaded CFW 4.91 BETA 1 successfully by following this tutorial but i noticed it has problems like when I connect to psn the games or apps give me an error “8001003A” when I launch them…. My questions are : 1 - I want to to upgrade from BETA 1 to BETA 6, can i do the same way on this video or do i need another way ? 2 - when i put my disk in the BD it gets stuck hallfway so do i need to donwload NO BD VERSION or NORMAL VERSION should be fine? 3 - and lastly from BETA 2 and above when you extract the file it doesn’t have MD5.txt should i be fine upgrading without comparing md5? Thank you for the things you are giving to this community
I gotta get my hands on a PS3 that's able to have CFW. I love my super slim it does most of what I want it to do as in a CFW but I think CFW is still superior overall for obvious reasons.
@@MrMario2011 thanks for the fast reply! I’ll go watch that one. So does it matter that im not actually on 4.91 ? Does 4.91 have any benefit over my 4.76 and if so, can I upgrade to 4.91? I appreciate the help 👍
Hey, some "unluck" happened. I've got power outage right in the middle of the patching. Can you make a video how to use that flash memory bank we saved before patching. Or respond here, what can i do to unbrick my console? xD Thank you!
even if the system is clean (no webman or others) and activated for games, HEN crashes 1 out of 5 times or almost certainly after launching an application again. it's unstable especially in the new versions (4.89 or higher), the old versions however were much more stable (i use hen on 4.84)
I got no warnings or dangers when checking the flash, but I noticed that the ROS0 and ROS1 were still mismatched despite it saying it's ok, what should I do?
i only went HEN because it looked the simpler than CFW, one drunken night round my partners place who also has a PS3 slim i stumbled across this video so i watched another one of his and found out hers wont work on CFW as its "too new" so HEN is all her console can do, when i came home MrMario came up in my youtube again and i thought "is mine old enough?" turns out it was and i was able to go from HEN to CFW, its been running fine for about 2 months now :), this guy is awsome :D couldnt of done it without him, yes im re watching but thats to top up anything i may of forgotten :)
I have installed CFW 4.91 and every single mod Multiman, Webman, irisman is giving black screen. Every package is giving black screen. Please share a video I have a CECHG03 PS3.
I would recommend researching it if you want to get a more granular approach on it, but from what I know in short it has to do with 3.55 signing keys. That did not change until after 3.56, which is why consoles with a minimum firmware version higher than 3.56 cannot take a full custom firmware.
@@MrMario2011 I'm trying to play PS2 games but without success, I'm getting sad with this. I'm trying to do is: play PS2 games in PKG format on my PS3 slim with HEN 4.91. After downloading and installing the game I try to access it through homebrew, when opening the game the screen goes black and the console makes 3 beeps and turns off. I installed the webman, multiman and irisman applications but none of them detects these PKG games that I am installing. I do not know what else to do. If I install CFW 4.91 would it solve this problem? Or what could I do to be able to play these games while maintaining HFW?

So when I get a mismatch between res0 and res1, because I clearly have installed CFW on my PS3 many years ago and I just updated to OFW 4.91 with a new 500gb hard drive, then I should install that old CFW multiple times to get res0 and res1 back in sync before proceeding? It's the only warning with the dump checker.
Found out I can apply the same OFW 4.91 update again via the Settings > System Update > Update from USB and that got both ROS0 and ROS1 into the same state. Disco.
hey buddy. i have phat ps3 with cfw 4.82 rebug and cobra. but im trynna update it to evilnat 4.91. would i just have to flash the mem and then update it ?
hfw is essentially ofw modified to allow ps3hen to be installed. cfw is a largely CustomFirmWare which has benefits over hen such as being able to downgrade, overclock, use nobluetooth and nobluraydrive firmwares, play ps2 isos, and many other features. If all you use your ps3 for is playing ps3 games, chances are you have no real need for cfw
@@MrMario2011 nice, I’ll give it a try. I’ve been trying to a figure out a way to play my old ps2 roms on a regular slim, had no luck with hen 4.91 and webman
I got excited for a minute there. Thanks for clarifying it early
That's why I put it early in!
Me too 😂
This is so useful, thank you! Had HEN for ages and wanted to switch to CFW but didn’t know how to

Have fun!
I went ot the site and it showed version 4.91.2 and my device is 4.91, should I download the cfw ?
How else will you install CFW?

Definitely nice having a cool Super Slim running PS3HEN, but it can't a full CFW 🙂
theres only a 4.91.2 download what do i do im on 4.91
edit: just kept following the guide and i now have cfw

YEAH
My ps3 on 4.90 .. And i had been jailbroken it with hen.
Should I update it to official 4.91 then enable Hen then Cfw 4.91 ?
I have a ps3 super slim,but PS3 Hen seems a good option. I know I'll need to replace the 250hdd with a SATA 1tb SSD.
even if the system is clean (no webman or others) and activated for games, HEN crashes 1 out of 5 times or almost certainly after launching an application again. it's unstable especially in the new versions (4.89 or higher), the old versions however were much more stable (i use hen on 4.84)
I personally have had the opposite, sorry to hear.
I got error it says error occurred during the update n' it keeps booting to the update reaches 50% n' goes back to the same problem
Can you run ps2 iso games in this 4.91 CFW ? I'm not sure about this new update if it's ok with iso games either from multi man or out
Yep
I got no warnings or dangers when checking the flash, but I noticed that the ROS0 and ROS1 were still mismatched despite it saying it's ok, what should I do?
That's fine.
system time settings check error. I set exactly same time like in video
Set it manually if it cannot be set automatically.
@@MrMario2011 i set it manually but always same error

Hey man is it first 4.91 or 4.91.2 beta 1 update, im on first 4.91 it have a lot bugs, i will try beta 1
Why would anyone install HEN on a PS3 that's capable of CFW in the first place?
Impatience waiting on the PS3 Toolset to be updated, or a new CFW, or they prefer PS3HEN.
can i do this without pc? just usb and and a phone
You won't be able to verify your system flash.
When i want install cfw it will be error even in safemode

Hey, why is super slim and later versions of slim not compatible with cfw?
I would recommend researching it if you want to get a more granular approach on it, but from what I know in short it has to do with 3.55 signing keys.
That did not change until after 3.56, which is why consoles with a minimum firmware version higher than 3.56 cannot take a full custom firmware.
I know it’s very niche but honestly I kind of liked hen, not been enjoying permanent CFW. Not sure if there is a way to revert back to hen
There is, watch my video covering the opposite!
@@MrMario2011 I will look for it, thank you so much
