The process should only take a couple of minutes as the PS3 will beep and then shut itself down if the code injection exploit worked.
Once the exploit is successfully loaded it will then patch your NOR/NAND flash memory with the code contained in the “flsh.hex“ file which should be plugged into the right most USB port. The exploit will now start itself and you’ll be greeted by some green text saying it was successful (this may take a little while to do). If your console has a NAND chip select “nand-482.html” or if it has NOR select “nor-482.html” and then select the “Write to NOR/NAND flash memory”. Next take the “flsh.hex“ file contained in the “hex-482-COPY-TO-USB-ONLY-IF-482-FIRMWARE-OR-WILL-SOFTBRICK” folder and place it on the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive. Now select the files “nand-482.html”, “nor-482.html” and “xp_rel_writer10.js” files and move them into the htdocs folder you just created.
You’ll want to download and extract the “ NOR_NAND_writer_release_1.0_PS3Xploit.zip” into a folder your desktop and then inside of that folder create another folder named “htdocs”. It is highly suggested not to use another person/organizations remote webpage to hack you PS3 with as it may contain harmful code or it may steal important files from your PS3 – play it safe and host it yourself. This is accomplished by using a small web server program that will host the exploit files which you will access from your PS3. The actual exploit that allows CFW installation is a webkit exploit (a bug was found in the Internet browser that is built into the PS3 that allows for CFW to be installed). Congrats, you now have an exploitable firmware. You’ll follow the same steps you took for the MVC Firmware Checker, but this time instead of displaying the minver it will update your console (same deal just copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP file from the 4.82 OFW archive you downloaded, place it on your FAT32 formatted USB drive under PS3 -> UPDATE and then run the update). Make sure to disconnect your PS3 from the Internet and take out any game discs before proceeding.
I suggest not using the built in firmware update option using the Internet, but downloading the 4.82 firmware and updating the system manually. If it is 4.81 or less you’ll need to upgrade to the latest firmware. To check to see which firmware version you’re currently using go to (Settings) > (System Settings) > (System Information).
Currently the only firmware version you can hack is 3.56 and lower (this is not covered in this guide) or firmware version 4.82.
