It was only a few days ago when we posted about how the PS3 was pwned for life. And now, KaKaRoTo has released some tools that will allow you to install your very own custom firmware on the PlayStation 3.
This seems to be the first step towards installing third-party applications and Linux, which was promised by the fail0verflow team. These tools should work with any PS3 firmware, including the latest one.
Update: Depending on your situation you may need to install the CFW PUP from the PS3 Recovery Menu. To do that, follow these steps:
- Ensure the PS3UPDAT.PUP is in /PS3/UPDATE/ on your USB device.
- Power down the PS3.
- Now press and hold the power button, the system will startup and shutdown again.
- Release the power button, then press & hold power again, you’ll hear one beep followed by two consecutive beeps.
- Release power then follow the on-screen instructions. You’re now in the recovery menu.
- Connect the USB device and select “System Update.”
- Hope for the best.
Thanks for the tip, Carlos. Note: you can restore OFW using the above method too.
Update: KaKaRoTo has fixed the missing XMB menu items and also enabled is PS1/PS2 support for backward compatible models. So here are new PUPs for your flashing pleasure.

Congratulations to you, KaKaRoTo! Cheers!
