Files needed » Source Here

- PS3UPDAT.PUP [Official Firmware 3.55]

- bsdiff4.3-win32.zip

- patch file

- lv2.pkg

- FIX_PERMISSIONS_Waninkoko_Kmeaw_CFW_3.55.pkg

1» Firstly update to Official Firmware 3.55 with the PS3UPDAT.PUP file by creating a folder on the root of a flash drive/external HDD named 'PS3' & create another new folder 'UPDATE' in the PS3 folder & copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP inside of the UPDATE folder. Do not delete the PS3UPDAT.PUP off of your PC, you will need it again.

2» Insert that flash drive/external HDD into the PS3, head over to the Settings menu and click System Update. Select "Update from Removable Media" and proceed with the onscreen instructions.

This will proceed to update your PS3 to the latest OFW 3.55.

3» Now back to your PC & let your PS3 update. You'll need to create PS3CFW.PUP by having all these 3 files 'bsdiff4.3-win32.zip' 'PS3UPDAT.PUP' 'patchfile'. Create a new folder named 'PATCH' in your "C:drive", extract 'bsdiff4.3-win32' to the PATCH folder & add 'PS3UPDAT.PUP' 'patchfile' in the same folder.

Open Command Prompt (Start > Run > cmd) and enter the follow commands exactly as they are typed:

OR

OR

*Note* It will take a while to create PS3CFW.PUP which will be appearing in the same PATCH folder.

MD5 Check»

Patched CFW PUP md5 after patching

: 2be5e87a22bf1e7f48e98fcabd38977b

4» Delete PS3UPDAT.PUP from your PC and your flash drive/external HDD.

5» Rename PS3CFW.PUP to PS3UPDAT.PUP

6» Place the newly renamed PS3UPDAT.PUP in the PS3/UPDATE folder of your flash drive that you created earlier.

7» You will now have to install this with the PS3 in recovery/service mode. To get into recovery/service mode, make sure that your PS3 is turned on and in standby mode (red light on the Power Button) and that nothing is plugged into your USB drives.

Hold down the Power Button and do not let it go, you will hear one beep after a few seconds, followed by another a few seconds later. The PS3 will power down.

*Note*

PS3 SLIM may not have any beeps. If you do not hear any beeps, just do the same procedure. The system will still boot into recovery/service mode.

Hold the Power Button again, you will hear one beep after a few seconds, followed by two quick and consecutive beeps.

Release the Power Button.

You are now in Service Mode.

Insert your flash drive/external HDD and select "System Update". Select the only option available from your flash drive/external HDD and follow the on-screen instructions.

Your PS3 may/will reboot several times.

You have now installed kmeaw's Custom Firmware :D

8» Place the lv2.pkg on the root of your flash drive/external HDD. Install lv2.pkg from the INSTALL PKG FILES folder under the Game menu on your PS3 system (the latter method is how you install any .PKG files. It must be on the root of your external storage device). This will install a new entry called 'LV2 Patcher'. You will need to run the LV2 Patcher each time you power down/reset your PS3 system and it is what removes LV2 checks and

enables

Backup Managers to work.

9» If you were previously on FW 3.41 or below and had any jailbreaks on your PS3, they will need to be uninstalled since they are now useless. Make sure to backup any of your Game (LAUN, OMAN) folders on your PS3 HDD before uninstalling any old Backup Managers as they can and usually do delete your game directory when they are uninstalled.

Any games with modified EBOOT.BIN & PARAM.SFO files will not work. You will need the original EBOOT.BIN files for the games to have them work.

*Note* ALSO: Delete any and all 'GAME DATA' from the Game Data Utility under the Game menu on your PS3. Old JailBreak methods will have mirrored possibly corrupt data and will not allow your games to run if that data is still present.

10» If you're getting black screens or any errors which are not allowing your previously working games to load, install the 'Fix Permissions.pkg' and run it once. This should solve that issue as it did for me since some FTP programs will change user permissions int he PS3 directory.
