[COLOR="black"]Here are my guides for installing the latest 4.xx CFWs on your PS3:[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]If you're on OFW higher than 3.55, you CAN'T install CFW directly! You need to check if your model is old enough to be [URL="http://x.co/hackable"]hackable[/URL] (older than June 2011). If you're lucky enough and it is hackable, you can use a hardware flasher ([URL="http://x.co/norguide"]NOR Guide[/URL] | [URL="http://x.co/nandguide"]NAND Guide[/URL]) to dump your 3.56+ flash, patch it and re-flash it before you can install CFW using the guides below. If your PS3 is not hackable, you CAN'T install CFW at all. Your only option would be to install an ODE to be able to run homebrew and backups.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]If you're already on CFW, you can always start with the 2 (optional) steps below before installing the CFW of your choice:[/COLOR]
