=====================================

Jailbreaking your PlayStation 3 (PS3) console allows you to install unofficial games, themes and applications that are not available through the official Sony store. This guide will walk you through a step-by-step process of jailbreaking your PS3 Slim or Super Slim console running on firmware version CFW (Custom Firmware). Please note that this tutorial is only applicable for consoles with an original PlayStation 4.81 OFW (Official Firmware) installed.

2. A working computer with Windows, Mac or Linux operating system installed.

3. An empty SD/CF card of at least 16GB capacity.

4. A reliable internet connection for downloading the necessary files and updating your console.

Required Tools

-------------

1. PS3 Jailbreak Dongle (e.g., PSGroove)

2. USB cable to connect the dongle with your computer

3. Sony PlayStation Control Cable (for controller connectivity)

Step 1: Prepare Your Console

### Installing CFW

1. Insert the provided jailbreaking USB stick into one of your PS3's USB ports.

2. Plug-in the Sony PlayStation Control Cable from your console's AV Out port A into a free HDMI or component video input on your television (or monitor).

3. Turn back on both your TV and PS3 at this stage.

### Booting Into Recovery Mode

1. Press and hold down the following buttons simultaneously as soon as you see either Sony logo:

Step 3: Downloading & Installing Jailbreak Files

------------------------------------------------

### Step A (For Windows, Mac or Linux)

1. Connect your PS3 to the same network as your computer via Ethernet cable.

2. Open up Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or any other web browser of choice from within the PlayStation Network's XMB menu.

3. Navigate to 'official PS3 Jailbreak website'(https://www.ps3jailbreaking.com/) and download the latest jailbreak file compatible with your console's firmware version (4.81) from there.

4. Save this downloaded zip or rar archive onto an external storage device like a USB stick, SD card etc.

### Step B (For PS3 Console Only)

1. From within XMB on your PlayStation 3:

- Go to Settings > System Information

2. Write down the firmware version displayed under 'System Software' as you will need it later in this guide!

Step 4: Flashing Jailbreak Files onto Your PS3

---------------------------------------------

### Step C (Using USB Stick/SD Card)

1. Safely remove your external storage device from its slot on either side of console's optical drive bay.

2. Insert the previously downloaded zip or rar archive containing jailbreaking files into any available USB port found at back/top depending upon model being used:

Step 5: Finalizing Jailbreak Process

-----------------------------

1. Once the file transfer is complete:

2. Insert the jailbreaking USB stick back into one of its respective slots again (either front or top depending on what you did earlier).

3. Press and hold down these same two keys together again while still keeping power button pressed in for about 10 seconds:

- L1 + R1

4. Release all buttons when you see the 'XMB' menu appear.

Congratulations! Your PS3 should now be successfully jailbroken on CFW firmware!
