I'm new to this scene as I never knew you could do this until the other day.
I'm ok with flashing stuff generally so i have followed instructions and got to the point where the 4.82 ofw on my ps3 has the xploit.
I now just need to install cfw. But I have a problem...
My ps3 was set to auto update (i've not used it for a long time) and the 4.83 firmware has downloaded but I haven't installed it
Now everytime I try to system install cfw it just wants me to install 4.83. Is there a way to remove this auto download so it doesn't auto pick it? I can't shoose to install from usb!
Trying to enter safe mode didn't work, still showed the update process but at 480p. Formatted the HDD and tried again and it worked! Now I'll follow the HAN installation steps again. Thank you all for your support.
