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

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

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

2nd - There is no risk of it breaking

3rd - Does not require soldering

4th - Once hacked, you can revert it to its previous state without hacking.

5th - Enjoy free games (Backups)

6th - Easy and simple to do

7th - Does not void the warranty

8th - Do not buy 'USB Dongle' (devices for 'old' piracy)

We will need a USB flash drive, a computer to do some things, and obviously a console.
Play Station 3
When talking about the hacking of the PS3, in this tutorial I will explain all the points that this involves, it is
Hacking PS3, Backups and PSN.

Hack PS3
1st - Introduction

Before you read this section, I want to tell you that here I only explain the methods that
there are hacking, a little historical introduction, this is not necessary to read, if
If you want to go directly to the hacking in question, move on to section 2.

To begin, I would like to make a small historical introduction to this whole topic of
pirating Play Station 3 (PS3), as we all know, SONY created its third console of
the console called Play Station 3, is the successor of Play Station 2, and predecessor of
any 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 technology
Blu-Ray, which allows us to enjoy a Full HD resolution (1920*1080).
It is also famous for its Anti-Piracy system, after the Play Station 2 error.
(with "error" I mean the "ease" of pirating 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 was a time in the
pirating world of the PS3, after much research, communicated to the media that the
SONY's console was completely unpiratable, which gave SONY and its prestige.
console, but as the saying goes: Nothing lasts forever. Finally, it was achieved.
pirate, but that doesn't mean we should discredit it, since even if it has been achieved, it
It took two years, the engineers at SONY did pretty well.
I will mention the three basic points of PS3 hacking that have been achieved:

1st – Infectus

The first one is not exactly a 'total' hack but rather a significant breakthrough in hacking.
from the console, which allowed exploring console files, modifying, and doing quite a bit
things, and allowed execution of Backups (game copies) but it was necessary to install it.
chip Infectus, soldering cables, that is to say opening the console, which would cause us to lose the
guarantee, this advance was never very cherished, but I include it as it was important
step for hackers.
2nd – USB Dongle

This is undoubtedly the ultimate 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 the installation of Homebrew (Home applications) with which
we could manage our game copies and play them without problems, the
The downside of this system was being on Firmware 3.41, if you were on a Firmware
inferior, simply installing the 3.41 update worked, but if you found yourself
In a higher version, you had a big problem, since you had to upgrade it to 3.50, and
from there to 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 does not
It was nothing more and nothing less than a USB drive with software based on Hermes, which allowed for
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 because it was not
you would update, but if you updated the hacking didn't work and another inconvenience is that
you obviously have 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 last hacking system, which is the best and which I will teach.
this manual, the technology of this hacking consists of the same as the USBs offered
Dongles, but it is focused on a Firmware, this means that by 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 not 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 advancements in the Nintendo Wii world, he achieved
create a Firmware 3.55, which when installed from the official Firmware 3.55 we would have the
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 made during installation, this was corrected with its version
Custom Firmware 3.55 V2, but we are going to focus on the Custom Firmware
3.55 from Kmeaw, the hacker Kmeaw managed to create this firmware based on
Waninkoko, but this one did not give errors, and it is 100% safe and stable.
2nd - Your PS3 version
To begin with, 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 click on "System Settings"

After 'System Information'

There you will see the information of 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
version 3.55, that is, 3.56 or higher, unfortunately you won't be able to hack it, but you don't
be discouraged, as in the future there may be ways to 'downgrade' your
PS3, that is, to downgrade it, to keep up with this, research it on the Internet once in a while.
in how long.
3rd – Prepare the Pendrive

We are going to format our USB drive in FAT32, to do this we open the folder 'Files'
Necessary," and we opened the file "Formatter," now with our USB drive inside the
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 give us
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 indicated before) the folder "PS3", done.
esto pásate al apartado 4º.

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 USB drive (formatted as indicated earlier) 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 of 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 choice between two options: 'Update via Internet' and 'Update'
through a storage medium

We select 'Update via storage media', 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 which it will reboot and we will have it.
completely updated to the official Firmware 3.55 from SONY.
Having done this, remove the USB drive from the PS3, reconnect it to the computer, delete the
PS3 folder, open the folder 'Necessary Files', within this open the folder
"Custom Firmware 3.55 (KMEAW)" and copy it to the USB drive (formatted as we indicated)
before) the folder "PS3", 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
through a storage medium

We select "Update using a storage device", 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 Kmeaw Firmware 3.55.
If for some reason there was some kind of failure during the installation, we must
install it from 'Recovery' mode, 'Recovery' mode is a way to turn on the
PS3 (error-proof) turns on like this: with the PS3 on, we hold the button
from 'Power', until the red light turns on, just when it turns red, we release and
we press again and hold it, it will turn green, and it will turn back again
red, we release and quickly squeeze, 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'
of the System", and we will be installed following the instructions.

With Kmeaw firmware 3.55 installed, we now have the PS3 completely hacked.
como prueba de esto, en el menú "Juego" veremos dos carpetas que antes no estaban:
/app_home/PS3_GAME/ and Install Package Files.
6th - MultiMan

To finalize the hacking we will need to install a program on the console that will manage
we will be able to open and load all our game copies, and it will help us to copy them,
Ultimately, it is a tool for manipulating them, these programs are
they call 'Managers', there are many types of Managers and they are from different creators,
for example: "Gaia Manager", "Rogero Manager", "Backups Manager", in this
In this tutorial, we will use 'MultiMAN' in its version 1.16.11 (which is the latest for now),
to install it in the console, we will take the pendrive (we can already delete the folder
PS3), we open the "Necessary Files" folder, and we copy to the root of the USB drive the
file "MultiMAN" [Link].
Now we connect the USB drive to the PS3, turn it on and in the 'Game' menu we open the
folder 'Install Package Files'.

We will see the file we copied to the USB drive, we run it and it will install the
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 click 'Yes' for all three.

Once the above is configured, a menu will automatically open for us.
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.
7th - Unjailbreak the Play Station 3

To undress her, leaving her in her original previous state, is quite easy, in the menu
"Game" we will delete all the applications we could install from the "Install" folder.
"Package Files", for this, we place the selector over the application, we press the "Δ" button.
a mini-menu will appear for us, and we will be able to delete the application once we delete it
we will install the official Firmware 3.55 from SONY on all applications, for this open the
folder "Necessary Files", inside this open the folder "Firmware 3.55 (SONY)" and
copy the "PS3" folder to the flash drive

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, turn it on and 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 using a storage medium', automatically

it will detect an update, a license agreement will appear, we accept everything, it

It will be fully installed, after this it will restart and we will have it.
totally unraveled.
 Backups
1st - Obtain Backups

We already have our hacked console, but now we need to learn how to
Obtain Backups, a Backup refers to any copy of a game, what we need.
to do is to download the game and copy it to the internal hard drive of the PS3, we can also
copy original games from the disc 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
medium of 10 GB, so they are uploaded to the servers in several parts, we must
download all parts and unzip them with 'Winrar' or 'Winzip' or any other
decompressor that you use, there are many websites that provide us with 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 for lazy people.
"God of War 3 PS3", I found this page:

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 downloads automatically without you having to worry about it,
The program is called 'JDownloader', to install it we go to the 'Files' folder

the program will open and detect the links, we click the Play symbol in the upper 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"
2nd – Copy Backups

We open Multiman and by pressing the 'L1' button, we will change the menu, everyone has
small differences, but they serve the same purpose.

By pressing 'L1' several times, we will reach 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 Joystick: Move the Cursor
X: Open file/folder
Delete file/folder
O: Copy file/folder
SELECT O: Cut file/folder
SELECT X: Rename file/folder
Create folder
To copy games to the PS3, we must do it using a USB device, which
it means a pendrive or an external hard drive, it is obviously better to use the hard drive

very little), once the game folder that we obviously downloaded is copied

3rd - Problems with copying Backups
It is not surprising that sometimes when you copy a downloaded game to your USB drive or
External hard drive, it may fail and not copy even if your Pendrive or hard drive has.
ample capacity, this happens because there are some games that have files that
they occupy more than 4GB, files of 4GB or larger cannot be copied to 'FAT32'
the solution for this is to format our device in "NTFS", now it will copy.
but we have another problem, the PS3 does not detect devices formatted in 'NTFS' yet
So there is a solution for this, we open the 'Multiman', and we keep pressing 'L1' until
that we arrive at the file and folder explorer menu, here at the bottom

Now on the computer we open the folder 'Necessary Files', within this we open
the file "FileZilla [Link]", the installation window for "FileZilla" will appear.

It will start to copy.
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.
 PSN
As you may know, the PS3 has a free internet system for all its users.
called PSN, to which you can connect and play online matches of those games that it allows.
Allow me, but SONY, in its attempt to curb piracy, is constantly creating
new Firmware, and it is mandatory that you install them on your PS3 to play online, before you
I could play online with CFW 3.55, but SONY released Firmware 3.56, without which
you won't be able to play online, the problem is that if you update it, you will lose the hacking...
However, there was a way to circumvent this security system, it consisted of
basically to manually change the DNS codes (Primary and Secondary) for
these "[Link]", but that method no longer works, SONY has managed to make that the
users who connect with those keys do not access the PSN, a little while later
new methods to reconnect appeared, these were F*ck PSN and Charles,
these operated through an intermediary computer, and it was somewhat of a method
sought, to these two methods was joined one more, called Spoofer 3.56, which
to make it seem like the console was on Firmware 3.56, some time later SONY
he launched his Firmware 3.60, it was then that the Spoofer 3.56 stopped working, and
They launched Spoofer 3.60, shortly after Sony released Firmware 3.60, all the
methods stopped working, there is only one way to access the PSN, it is through a
CFW 3.55 creado por el equipoTeam Rebug, lo que hace es un propio servidor
independent of SONY, this works, but only with people who use the same method,
and everything indicates that it will soon stop working, so I have to say that now
we do not have PSN, but hackers continue to surprise us every day, and
It's only a matter of time before some new method appears.
