4.80 REBUG CFW (COBRA v7.3 - REX / D-REX)

PS3 4.80 REBUG CFW (COBRA v7.3 - REX / D-REX) 05/05/2016

my ps3 ofw is 3.41 .if i install rebug D-rex latest at the recovery menu..Am i now ready to play backups on that console???
 
You cannot install D-Rex on retail console. For them is Rex. D-Rex is for debug models or converted to debug (but I'm not sure if it's safe on 4.21+ as Sony added new checks to console type as I heard).

So, if You install 4.80.1 Rex on Your OFW 3.41, then yes, You will be ready. ;)
 
To install D-REX
You need first to install REX 4.80.1

To switch CEX to DEX use IDPSet from Zar
1/ Make your CEX/DEX dumps
2/ Make EID0 root key dump
3/ simply use convert to DEX option
Well done

Now you're able to install D-REX on your console
Back to CEX is OK if needed later

Make a backup of yours dumps on PC !!! important
 
If Your PS3 is retail model with CEX (Sony retail signature) OFW (official >> original firmware), and in version 3.55 or any below. Then yes, use Rebug 4.80.1 Rex (because it's for CEX models).

If Your PS3 is debug kit model with DEX (Sony debug kit signature) OFW (official >> original firmware), and in version 3.55 or any below. Then use Rebug 4.80.1 D-Rex (because it's for DEX models).

If You want convert Your CEX model to Semi-DEX (it's not and never be a full DEX) then for sure it's safe any DEX fw up to 4.21. Above this version I don't know because I'm back to CEX and never in future interesting in this. For common user, there is no benefications from DEX fw so better will be if You stay on CEX.

BTW: After You jump to Rebug, remember to making copy of all per user IDs/keys/settings and image of internal flash. Just for safety of Your data in future.

Activate (in second coumn) Debug mod, Cobra mod, webMAN startup AND REBOOT your console

multiMAN is great to copy disc on hard drive Just after easy way to mount and run games is webMAN
Take time to know what is webMAN and how to configure it easily from your web brownser PC
Exemple : very important to configure your fans speed and much more. complete explain on site
 
Please not that Here in kenya we only need to play backups thats all..I have seen webman its a way of browsing games from the web of which i dont see usefull to us here..Direct me on how to rip games from disc to Ps3 internal hdd
 
I have understood cleary about the webman..Is it the one in the rebug cfw latest?
Not latest, you will find here named webMAN MOD 1.45.00 + documentations from @aldostools
For sure webMAN is essential to manage your console, especialy for temperature in Kenya is you want be quiet vith your console

About disc
First of all NEVER UPDATE YOUR Custom Firmware WITH DISC INSERTED IN => result Jailbreak lost for ever :( Back to OFW definitly

To copy disc, insert it, install multiMAN start and go in game category see your disc on, make Triangle, choose option to copy (I don't remember exaclly, mine is French) Copy start and just wait it's done.

WebMAN-MOD can use the web but that is only one of many features. It offers access to the PS3 via the network (with http & ftp) however using the network is not mandatory.

WebMAN-MOD is mainly used locally.
It offers game mounting from XMB, dynamic fan control, file managing, some system control covers management, xmb screenshots, pkg handling, file download & dozens of other features.
Basically it does nearly everything multiman can do but it also offers many features that multiman doesn't have....
It gets updated frequently & aldostools offers regular user support.
IMO webMAN-MOD is one of the best managers out there. You should definitely try it.

Disc dumping.
Personally, my favourite tool for PS3 to dump from disc is Irisman 3.50.10. (get it from the resources section in the PS3 category or at store.brewology.com).
You can dump the folder & files of course but you can also make an iso file to use with Cobra enabled. It's recommended to use iso instead of JB folders.

There are other tools on the PS3 to dump discs like multiman, gamesonic... It's up to you to choose the one you prefer I suppose.

Hello to every one,
I have been using PS3 3.55 CFW for about 4 years with the same fw installed. I don't know which cfw version it is because I couldn't install it myself.
I reviewed the current cfw on the site. Can I upgrade my version by installing these versions on my ps3?
Which of the dex or cex versions should I install?
