Does it freeze if wMM has never been installed?

You should proceed by eliminating possible culprits. It could come from xml modifications. If you backed up your original xml files (as you should), you could try to restore them temporarily to test. (You could also extract the xml files from the PUP, if you didn't backup the files)

In the end you might have to try reinstalling Ferrox altogether, then test without Mamba first. Then test with Mamba. All this without wMM. See if you still get xmb freezes.

Cech-300X can't be jailbroken. Only some 25XX and all lower. But in most cases (25XX> ) you need also hardware flasher.
 
thanks for the reply!
so what model would you recommend me to go for 2nd hand ( im in UK so PAL ) and any tips on what to look out for when buying....

AND/OR what models can be done on the PS4? although this may be a bit to much £££ for me at the mo....

again thank you for you time, much appreciated

Best choice is any ps3 with 3.55 firmware or already jailbroken. Because only on 3.55 or lower you can flash CFW. For higher firmware hardware flasher (and skills) is needed.

Check eBay UK out for a slim already on CFW or on 3.55.
Once on CFW, the region isn't an obstacle anymore really, it can be changed. All games can be played, you could get an american console & play UK games on it. [MENTION=361]Puffdragon[/MENTION] sells consoles in the US if you want to check him out. He's got good rep & he might even prepare the console for you with your requirements.

The PS4 doesn't have CFW yet, I am sure it will come though. Be patient, the PS4 has just been jailbroken last month (officially at least).

You cannot. It's not that simple.
First of all you need to have downgradeable console. Either a FAT or a slim but only models up to CECH-25xx. Some 25xx can be downgraded others cannot. Anything above 25xx will not work, with these consoles your only solution is to buy & install a Cobra ODE.
With an ODE installed you can play backups on an external hdd but you will still have a OFW, not a CFW with all the featutes.

If your console is a downgradeable model then you will need a hardware flasher to downgrade then you'll be able to install a CFW. You need some skills to downgrade a console with a hardware flasher. Go to a professional for this, it will cost you less money too.

If your console is not downgradeable then you should probably get rid of it & buy a second hand slim already on CFW.
