Any update on this? Went to get started today and this issue is still present.
The CA Root certificate has been included on ofw since 4.84 at least otherwise https access would never have been possible for the past 2 years.
But all SSL stuff is getting upgraded everywhere so glitches like this are more and more common..
Like I said already I will look at this at the weekend, I am NOT going to change the website configuration on a whim, even temporarily...
Hi everyone, I'm new, a friend gave me his PS3 and I wanted to jailbreak it.
I followed a guide found online on YouTube instead of visiting the forum (yes I know I was stupid).
Everything was fine until I had to apply the downloaded patch with PS3Toolset.
The console remained as if hibernated for more than 60 minutes on the verification screen of the correct installation of the patch giving me 100% write and 99% verification.
I imagined that there was no more hope and that the console had become a brick.
I turned off the console and to my surprise it restarted and checked the file system and went back to work.
I was trying to repeat the operation again and realized that I had not disabled the request to close the browser page and probably this step could have been the problem.
One thing I noticed is that on Ps3toolset now at the top right instead of being written "Custom Syscall:No"
now it says "Custom Syscall:CFW.
Was the patch installation successful?
Now I don t know whether to try again the installation of the patch via Ps3tools or try to install the CFW of Evilnat.
My doubt is this, do I risk a problem if I try to install the CFW ? Can I have problems if I try to do the PS3tools procedure again?
Thank you all!
When it reaches "verifying" it means it's already completed the patch. Verifying means it's just reading the data back to verify that it's been written successfully. If the console booted after a power cycle it means it's properly patched. You can try installing Evilnat.Hi everyone, I'm new, a friend gave me his PS3 and I wanted to jailbreak it.

If your HDD is dying then you might want to replace it though before you flash CFW. If you do this, do not jailbreak again. After you replace the HDD and it asks for firmware (assuming it's a NOR model), immediately install CFW.
If you had CFW or applied the bgtoolset patch prior to replacing the HDD you don't have to revert back to OFW. Just put a disk with CFW when it asks for firmware and it should install fine. Unless your HDD is dying, it would be recommended to install CFW first though, because you don't want to do things that are hardly tested, even if they are expected to work on paper.Thank you very much, honestly I don't know if the disk is ruined, during the technical examination of ps3tool it did not give me any error.
I would have an ssd to be able to put in it, I read that it makes the console faster, I had thought of making the change later, but from what I have read now I think it is better to do it before installing the CFW because I saw that you have to reinstall the OFW after replacing the hard disk.
Did I understand correctly?
So as you advised me it is better to replace the disk immediately so as to install the CFW directly
My console is a Slim with CECH-2004A serial.
As for the CF I saw that the last one is the beta10, for amateur use (I have to play the backup copies because the blu ray does not work) what type would be appropriate to install? D-Pex or Pex.
Thanks again.
I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place, please let me know. I feel like I'm not good at forums. Short story long, I ran across some videos by RIP-Felix and I had to unpack some of my old PS3's that have been in hibernation. The first one I decided to tackle needs the disc drive married. It's a CECHA01 running original firmware v4.80.
As best as I can tell I'll need to jailbreak in order to use factory service mode to marry a drive (if there is an alternative I'm all ears). Tonight I decided to stop looking for answers I can't find and just follow some instructions from MrMario2011 using CFW 4.91.2 Evilnat Cobra 8.5 [CEX] [noBD]. Yet again more questions.
I tried to set the clock by internet. It won't let me do that-says I need to update first. Maybe I need v4.82 to update the clock via internet, but if so then why is the option even there in 4.80? What is the significance of the internet clock for bgtoolset? What could or will go wrong? Can I just manually set it? I assume it needs a new CMOS battery and I hear bad things if that's the case. Can I proceed with jailbreaking with a bad battery or do I need to replace it first? And if so, why?
I'd like to go back to the original v4.80 after the drive works-mainly for no reason other than my own ignorance. So I have some questions about that along with transferring Blu-ray digital rights files after marrying and a few other questions about this console. Should I find a more appropriate thread for those questions or post here? Thanks in advance!
