start over jailbreak without losing jailbreak?? I would like to know the safest way possible to restore a ps3 jailbreak without losing my jailbreak and start over with a CFW I would like to install. [Preview]
I recently acquired and revived a previously YLOD'd 3.55 to 4.21 hybrid jailbroken ps3 but I'm not sure what has been done with it, so I would like to start over from scratch to make sure I don't brick it if I want to install a CFW. [this PS3 will not go online. I have my Super Slim for my legit gaming]
here is what i have so far that i've seen.
says 4.21 in the system settings. but the previous owner said it was a "3.55 to 4.21 hybrid jailbreak"
HOMEBREW XMB
HOMEBREW ICON IN THE XMB
Install Package Files in the homebrew Icon.
folder that says /app_home/PS3_GAME
GAME XMB
INSTALL PACKAGE FILES in the GAME XMB
folder that says /app_home/PS3_GAME
a CD ICON with a QUESTION MARK that says LOAD LAST GAME
a HDD ICON that says Game Data Mode: [HDD]
another CD icon that says BD-ROM REDIRECTION RESET =< no idea what this does.
and lastly one shows a scorpion that says TOGGLE QA. ( i know this ones important to enable for CFW)
all these files give me a black screen upon launch (probably because they were booted from a USB stick with the files on it)
also for some reason, this PS3 doesn't read my PS3 games or PS1 (it's not the PS2 compatible one) maybe due to the jailbreak?? or possibly due to the lack of MultiMAN?
is there any way to get settled straight on the best CFW for this moment and have it play my CD games? and possibly multiMAN, which perhaps this is the only thing I need? (which is not installed yet)
pretty much: I would like to know the safest way possible to restore a ps3 jailbreak without losing my jailbreak and start over with a CFW I would like to install.
thanks
Edit: just Installed MULTIMAN CEX v04.40.00 myself from USB. and it still gives me the black screen...possibly a refresh will fix this...
for now...every XMB homebrew icon gives me a black screen..
edit 2: there is Rogero, Kmeaw, REBUG and CDEX. Which is the most recommended / most supported CFW at this time?
