Hello, here I leave you a tutorial made by me, in which I will explain how to hack.

your Play Station 3 console step by step without any risk of breaking it and without losing the
guarantee at no time.

Characteristics of Hacking
1st - It is not necessary to open the console

2nd – There is no risk of it breaking

3rd - Does not require welding

4th - Once hacked, you can return it to its previous un-hacked state.

5th - Enjoy free games (Backups)

Easy and simple to do

7th – It does not lose the warranty

8th - No need to buy 'USB Dongle' (devices for 'old' piracy)

We will need a USB drive, a computer to do some things, and obviously a console.
Play Station 3
 1º – Introducción
Before you read this section, I want to tell you that here I only explain the methods that
There is hacking, a little historical introduction, this is not necessary to read, if
If you want to go straight to the hacking in question, move on to section 2.

To begin, I would like to make a brief historical introduction to this whole topic of
PlayStation 3 (PS3) piracy, as we all know, SONY created its third console of
the console called Play Station 3, is the successor to Play Station 2, and predecessor to
some future Play Station 4, well, this console is famous not only for being from the
prestigious company SONY, but because it has been the first to incorporate the technology
Blu-Ray, which allows us to enjoy a Full HD resolution (1920*1080).
También es famosa por su sistema Anti-Piratería, después del error de la Play Station 2
(by "error" I mean the "ease" of hacking it), they have really stepped up their game in their
new console, it has such a good Anti-Piracy system that it was called during a
time the console 'Impirateable'. The prestigious Hacker George Hotz, famous for his success
In the "Jailbreak" regarding the release of Apple's iPhone, there was a time in the
pirating world of the PS3, after much investigation, communicated to the media that the
SONY's console was totally unhackable, which gave prestige to SONY and its
console, but as the saying goes: Nothing lasts forever. Finally, it was achieved.
to hack, but that does not mean it should be discredited, since even if it has been achieved, it
It took two years, the engineers at SONY did quite well.
I am going to mention the three basic points of PS3 hacking that have been achieved:

1st - Infectus

The first one is not exactly a 'total' hack but was a great advance in hacking.
from the console, which allowed exploring console files, modifying, and doing quite a bit
things, and allowed for the execution of backups (game copies) but it was necessary to install it
chip Infectus, soldering cables, that is, opening the console, which would cause us to lose the
guarantee, this advance was never very valued, but I include it since it was an important
step for hackers.

2nd - USB Dongle

This is undoubtedly the quintessential hacking system, it consisted of having the

console in Firmware 3.41, and connect the famous USB Dongle invention, this was a
device that, when connected to the console, turns it on in a certain way,
allowed for the installation of Homebrew (Home applications) with which
we could manage our game copies and play them without issues, the
The inconvenience of this system was being on Firmware 3.41, if you were on a Firmware
inferior, simply installing the update 3.41 worked, but if you found yourself
In a higher version, you had a big problem, as you should have upgraded it to 3.50, and
from there, take a series of very complex steps to reduce it to 3.41, but it
could, the creators of this device were the company PSJailbreak, this device not
it was nothing more and nothing less than a USB drive with software based on Hermes, which allowed
playing game copies among other things, the drawback of this piracy system
it was that when SONY created a new official version, the PSN stopped working as it was no longer
You would update, but if you updated it, the hacking wouldn’t work and another problem is that
You obviously need to buy these devices, over time others
companies created their own USB dongles with their own characteristics, such as:
Amaze Break, PS3 Key, PS Jailbreak among others.

3rd – Custom Firmware 3.55

Finally, I will talk about the latest hacking system, which is the best and the one I will teach in
this manual, the technology of this hacking consists of the same as that offered by the USB
Dongles, but it's focused on a Firmware, this means that updating the
console to a version of Firmware created by hackers, we will be able to do the same
things that if we had a USB Dongle, but without having it, this system is obviously
free, one of the hackers who managed to create this was the Spanish hacker Waninkoko, this
he was known for his great advances in the world of Nintendo's Wii, he achieved
create a Firmware 3.55, that when installed from the official Firmware 3.55 we would have the
same functions as with a connected USB Dongle, unfortunately the creation of
Waninkoko was a failure as it broke many consoles due to small defects.
technical issues and user errors when installing it, this was rectified with its version
Custom Firmware 3.55 V2, but we are going to focus on the Custom Firmware.
3.55 by Kmeaw, the hacker Kmeaw managed to create this Firmware based on the one from
Waninkoko, but this one did not give errors, and it is 100% safe and stable.
 2nd - Your version of PS3

To start, we need to check the firmware version of our console.

To check the version of your console, do the following: go to the tab of
"Settings", you go to "System Settings"

Then to 'System Information'

There you will see the information about your PS3, you will be able to see your version.

If you have version 3.55 or lower, go to section 3, if you have a version higher than
3.55 that is, 3.56 or higher, unfortunately you will not be able to hack it, but you
Do not get discouraged, as in the future it may be possible to find ways to 'downgrade' your
PS3, that is, to downgrade it, to keep up with this, research it on the Internet from time to time.
in when.
 3rd - Prepare the Pendrive

We are going to format our pendrive in FAT32, to do this we open the folder 'Files
"Necessary", and we open the file "Formatter", now with our USB drive inserted.
computer, we select our device in the program, we select the option
FAT32, and we click on 'Start' our Pendrive will be formatted in FAT32, this will
It will work because the console only detects USB devices with this system.

If our PS3 version is lower than 3.55, you must do the following:
Open the folder 'Necessary Files', inside this open the folder 'Firmware 3.55'
(SONY) and copy to the USB drive (formatted as we indicated before) the folder 'PS3', done.
this move to section 4.

If our PS3 version is 3.55 you must do the following:

Open the folder "Necessary Files", then open the folder "Custom Firmware"
3.55 (KMEAW)" and copy to the pendrive (formatted as we indicated before) the folder "PS3",
Having done this, move on to section 5.
 4th - Towards 3.55 of SONY

Once we have copied the folder to the flash drive, we disconnect it from the computer.
and we connect it to a USB port on the PS3, we turn it on and we go to the
menu tab 'Settings', and we select the option 'System Update'.

It will give us the option to choose between two options: 'Update via Internet' and 'Update
through a storage medium

We select 'Update via a storage medium', automatically

It will detect an update, a license agreement will appear, we accept everything, it
it will copy the update file to the console, it will restart, and when it turns on
It will be fully installed, after this it will restart and we will have it.
completely updated to the official SONY firmware 3.55.
Having done this, remove the USB drive from the PS3, reconnect it to the computer, delete the
PS3 folder, open the 'Necessary Files' folder, inside this open the folder
"Custom Firmware 3.55 (KMEAW)" and copy it to the flash drive (formatted as we indicated)
before) the "PS3" folder, having done this move on to section 5.
 5th - Towards 3.55 of Kmeaw

Once we have copied the folder to the USB drive, we disconnect it from the computer.
and we connect it to a USB port of the PS3, we turn it on and we go to the
menu tab "Settings", and we select the option "System Update"
the "Settings" menu, and we select the "System Update" option

It will give us the option to choose between two options: "Update via Internet" and "Update

completely updated to Kmeaw Firmware 3.55.
If for some reason we encounter any kind of failure during the installation, we must
install it from the 'Recovery' mode, the 'Recovery' mode is a way to boot the
PS3 (error-proof), it turns on like this: with the PS3 on, we hold the button
from "Power", until the red light comes on, just when it turns red, we release and
we press again and hold it, it will turn green, and it will turn again
red, we release and press quickly, and hold, we will hear a beep,
after another one, and then a double beep, when we hear this double beep we let go
the finger will enter 'Recovery' mode here we select the last option, 'Update'
del Sistema", y se nos instalará siguiendo las indicaciones.

With the Kmeaw 3.55 firmware installed, we now have the PS3 completely hacked.
As proof of this, in the "Game" menu we will see two folders that were not there before:
"/app_home/PS3_GAME/" and "Install Package Files".
 6th - Obtain Backups

We already have our hacked console, but now we need to learn how to
obtain Backups, a Backup is referred to as any copy of a game, which we need
doing is downloading the game, and copying it to the internal hard drive of the PS3, we can also
copy original games from the disk to the console, I will explain this in section 7.
The games are on the Internet, they are uploaded to servers such as 'Megaupload',
"Rapidshare", "Fileserve" among many others, PS3 games take up a size
average of 9 GB, so they are uploaded to the servers in several parts, we must
download all parts and extract them with 'Winrar' or 'Winzip' or any
decompressor that you use, there are many pages that give us the different links for
download these games, such [Link], in the
search engines of these pages we enter the name of the desired game, and we include it to the
final "PS3", this way we will get pages related to the desired game for
our console.
I'll give you an example, I searched in lazy people
"God of War 3 PS3", I found this page:
At the bottom of the page (below) I
There were many server links appearing, each
one of them is a link that takes me to
direct download of a file, I download
I put all the files in the same one.
folder, I select one of them, I click
with the right button, and with the option of
"Winrar" I select "Extract here", this gives me
leave a folder named with letters and
numbers, that is the game folder,
we must open it and see if it has a folder
called "PS3_UPDATE", this folder
contains an update file that
will update our console, which does not affect us
It matters because if not, we will lose the hacking.
so we will delete this folder in case
that the game has it.
The problem with downloading games is that sometimes they take up a lot of space and are very
difficult to download them, which is a bit annoying, for this reason I will show you a
program that automatically downloads without you having to worry about it, the
the program is called 'JDownloader', to install it we go to the 'Files' folder
Necessary", we run the file "Jdownloader Installer", a window will appear from
typical installation assistant, to install it we select the options in this order:
Next ---> I Agree ---> Next ---> Selecionamos "Yes, I..." ---> Install ---> Next ---> Finish

Once installed, we will have its corresponding icon on the desktop, we open it, and we
A window will open, now we are going to the page where the download links are.
game, we select them, right-click, Copy, and automatically the
the program will open and detect the links, we click on the play symbol at the top left,
and it will start downloading them one by one, to open the folder where they are downloaded,
we go to the 'Download' tab, with the pointer over the links we click the button
right, and we select 'Open Directory'
 7th - Copy and Play Backups
Once we have our games on the computer, we must know how to transfer them to
our PS3, for which we must first install a program on the console that
it will manage all our game copies, we will be able to open and load them, and it will serve us
to copy them, ultimately, it is a tool for their manipulation,
These programs are called 'Managers', there are many types of Managers and they are
different creators, such as: 'Gaia Manager', 'Rogero Manager', 'Backups'
Manager", in this tutorial we will use "MultiMAN", in its version 1.16.01 (which is the
last for now), to install it on the console, we will take the USB drive (we can now
borrar la carpeta "PS3"), abrimos la carpeta "Archivos Necesarios", y copiamos en la raíz
the file "MultiMAN" [Link] from the pendrive.
Now we connect the pendrive to the PS3, turn it on, and in the 'Game' menu we open the
folder 'Install Package Files'.

We will see the file that we copied to the USB drive, we run it and it will be installed.
Multiman in the 'Game' menu.
Once installed, we can remove our pendrive, now we open MultiMAN, and we
It will ask for three basic configuration options, and we will select 'Yes' for all three.

Once the above is configured, a menu will automatically open for us, we will see a menu that
show the 'Backups' that we have copied on the hard drive of the PS3, in your case
the menu will be empty because we haven't copied any games to it yet.
By pressing the "L1" button, we will change menus, they all have slight differences, but
they serve the same purpose.

By pressing "L1" several times, we will arrive at a menu different from the others, this menu is
the one that will help us copy the games to the console, is a file explorer and
folders.

We must know the basic controls of this menu:

The Joysticks: Move the Cursor
Open file/folder
Delete file/folder
O: Copy file/folder
SELECT O: Cut file/folder
SELECT X: Rename file/folder
R1: Create folder
To copy games to the PS3, we must do it using a USB device, which
it means a flash drive or an external hard drive, it is obviously better to use the hard drive
external hard drive because flash drives do not have as much capacity as required
the games (unless our USB drive has a lot of capacity or the game takes up
very little), once we have copied the game folder that we obviously downloaded
Previously, we connected the USB drive/external hard drive to the PS3, and in the 'MultiMAN' menu,
we have two blocks, both are folder and file explorers for the PS3, to
copy our game, in one of the two blocks we open the location "dev_hdd0", and
we look to see if there is any folder named "GAMEZ" or "GAMES", in case there isn't
there is none, we create one of the two, and from now on all the folders of
games will go inside this, in the other block, we will open the location 'dev_usb001', (the

 8th - Problems when copying Backups

It's no surprise that sometimes when you copy a downloaded game to your USB drive or
External hard drive, if it fails and does not copy even though your Pendrive or hard drive has
plenty of capacity, this happens because some games have files that
files larger than 4GB cannot be copied in 'FAT32'
the solution for this is to format our device to "NTFS", now it will copy.
but we have another problem, the PS3 does not detect devices formatted in 'NTFS', still
So there is a solution for this, we open 'Multiman', and we keep pressing 'L1' until
that we reach the file and folder explorer menu, here at the bottom
to the left we have a square, below it, we have our IP address, we can

Now on the computer we open the folder 'Necessary Files', inside this we open
The file 'FileZilla [Link]' will display the installation window of 'FileZilla', a
program that will help us in copying games with files larger than 4GB,
to install it, we select these options in this order:

We will connect to the hard drive of our PS3, in the left box there
it represents our computer, we look for the folder of the game we want to transfer, in the
on the right is represented the hard drive of the PS3, we search for the folder in which we saved
our games (GAMES or GAMEZ), we drag the folder from one box to the other, and
will start to copy itself.
This technique is not only useful for games that have files larger than 4GB, but also
we can copy any type of game, file or folder.
 9th - Connection to PSN

As you may already know, the PS3 has a free Internet system for all its users.

the previous section explained how to install it). Once installed we open it, and in the bar
from above we write the IP address that 'MultiMAN' gave us earlier on the PS3, and in

key 'Enter', this will take us to a list with files.
We search for the file '[Link]', select it with the right button, and delete it.
Now in the left menu (where our computer is represented), we open the
folder "Necessary Files", and we drag the file "[Link]" to the PS3 box.

Once that is done, we can close FileZilla. We go to 'Start', 'Connect to',

Show all connections.

"Wireless network connections", we open any that we use, and select the
tab 'Support'.

We click on the option "Details...", and information about the Internet will appear to us with

We click on 'OK', we click on 'Custom', from here it will ask us for cable or
