Update on this for ppl that may need tha same help .
So what i did was this:
I took the flash writer and host it on my pc as an http server with RebexTinyWebServer (super simple just copy paste files in app folder).
clear everything from browser and run it . i skipped the dump process because...
what worked for me was RebexTinyWebServer. i can report now that im officialy running a cfw . also i didnt dump my files because i couldn't find how to download it and got unpatiend but i guess i wass lucky becasue all works fine now. Can i dump from the cfw just to have it ?
Thanks for the reply i manage to host the file with miniweb but i get a msg an error occurred during the download operation (80711008) when i try to flash
and then
Patch operation aborted due to patch file hash mismatch!
so far what i did is install the hfw4.85.1 (btw it just says 4.85 in the system information) and tried to run the Unofficial 4.85 Flash Writer from a local host i did but it fails to finish (i assume im doing something wrong here)
ill follow an old mrmario tutorial with self hostilg files . but ill wait a bit more untill i get more input. for now i did the safe and just install the hfw4.85.1
Hello i recently got from a friend a phat ps3 model cechj03 it has the firmware version 3.73 and according to the tool it can got all the way back to 2.16.
My question is. What is the best way to install cfw on it and a way that I don't need expensive equipment to chip it.
Thanks in advance for...
