Hi all,

Sorry to sound like a complete NOOB, well, that's because I am! I have a FAT PS3 that I'm trying to install CFW on. It doesn't have a BR drive because it's damaged so I removed it. I'm having issues installing CFW on it, it gets so far and crashes! I've never installed CFW on a PS3 before - I've installed CFW on other consoles so I'm not completely useless.

I just want to install it, run PKG and download some games :)

Any pointers would be awesome!

Cheers :D

Have you tried Rebug nobd CFW?

All the options within the recover menu are greyed out. If I carry on and select one, it doesn't see the HDD. I've tried two different drives too. If I remove the HDD, it knows there isn't one present which is odd.

I'm completely stumped and can't find an answer anywhere. I think I'll admit defeat and bin it today!


Can't tell from a picture but all the options are greyed out and not white like it should be.

What firmware is on it now? I'm guessing it's OFW?

Even if the Blu ray drive is damaged, you could have removed the drive but still left the Bluray daughterboard plugged.

If you still have the drive, leave it connected until you get CFW on it.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
