PS3 I'm an Idiot That Updated My PS3 to 4.93 OFW Before Jailbreaking

[HandsOn91939]

Okay, 1st off.... I'm an idiot. Now that that's out of the way, I turned on my PS3 Slim model CECH-2001B after a couple of months to jailbreak it . Like the idiot I am, however, I decided that it would be a good idea to back up all of my save data to the damn PS+ cloud before doing so, and updated my damn firmware to 4.93 in order to do so. I hear that there's an alternative method to waiting until PS3Toolset is updated to install CFW onto my system, I believe involving Evilnat, and I am in need of an extremely kind and good-willed Samaritan to give me a detailed step-by-step guide on how to properly install the needed data to do so. I'm definitely going to need said Samaritan to break this down for me as they would to an educated 4th grader based on the fact that I spent nearly 4 hours trying other methods without realizing that I had to format the USB stick I was using to FAT32 instead of exFAT...... Can anyone help?

The above post said everything I could have said and the guide linked above is the best one to use. Please ensure though before flashing you take a backup of your flash and validate the dumps before you do anything using ps3 dump checker: https://github.com/Swizzy/PS3DumpChecker, just incase something goes wrong it would be recoverable with a flasher. Do not skip that step is my advice, better have a recoverable brick than an unrecoverable brick, though you should probably be fine, this is a 'just incase' step that adds a couple of minutes to your time at most.
