Install Custom Firmware

The first thing you'll need to do is get your USB drive or External drive and plug it into your computer.

Which every one you have, format it to fat32. If you need any information on this subject please do a search on Google, Im not about to teach you how to use your computer!

Now that you have formatted the drive you need to make a few folders. First make a folder named PS3 (please name folder exactly as listed).
Then inside that folder make another folder called UPDATE.

Next make sure your PS3 is off and you plug your drive into your PS3.

Now your going to put your PS3 in recovery mode.
this is utterly pointless in my opinion but then again may be more safe
To do this your going to hold down the PS3 power button until it turns on then off.

Next you going to hold the power button down again till you hear one beep followed by two quick beeps, let go of power button.

If your having any problems with this you can Youtube PS3 Recovery Mode, there's lots of video on how to do.
YouTube - i will fix link outside of quote

The PS3 will now ask you to plug in a controller with its USB cable (do that). Now choose update from the menu. Your PS3 will ask you to hit select and start and it will search for the update file (once again make sure your drive connected to your PS3!). It will go through and install 3.55 and reboot itself.

On to the next part! Remove your drive from your PS3 and reconnect to your computer. Delete the file in the UPDATE folder and replace it with the file (just the dam file!) from your Kmeaw Custom Firmware folder. Now plug your drive in again to your PS3 and install the file from recovery mode the exact same way we just did in the step before.

Now the PS3 will reboot itself just like the last time.

Thats it you did it! You have become less of a noob in the last 15mins, and are ready to install backup managers to play your games and ftp server for your PS3.

i will add file manager for hacking games.

There was no mention that the current firmware of your ps3 should be 3.55. Dont you need that before you can even start installing the Custom Firmware?
