How to Jailbreak Your PS3 on Firmware 4.91 or Lower with PS3 Toolset!

PS3 Toolset aka BG Toolset makes jailbreaking a PS3 easier, faster, and safer than ever before! If you have a compatible PlayStation 3 on firmware 4.91 or lower, you can easily jailbreak your PS3 using only software! No hardware flashers, no need to take apart the console, not even a need to downgrade! Thanks to the team over at PS3Xploit, anyone with a compatible PS3 can patch their console and install Custom Firmware (CFW).
If you have a CFW capable PS3 the first thing you should do is backup your console's NAND or NOR flash to a FAT32 formatted flash drive. This should be done on every install, just in case your system needs the flash restored at any point in the process. After verifying your flash dump is proper, you can download the required patch for your console and install it all directly within the browser! This process will download a specific file to your console and "patch" the console so it's ready for CFW. After verifying your PS3 has been patched successfully, you can simply reboot your console, take a 4.91 CFW of your choice, and install it directly through the XMB!
In order to do all of this you MUST have a compatible PS3. All Fat/Phat models work! If you want to perform this on a Slim console, 20XX and 21XX models are all compatible. 25XX models that have a 3.56 or lower minimum firmware version will work, anything showing a higher minimum firmware will not. ANY PS3 MODEL HIGHER THAN 25XX WILL NOT WORK! This includes newer Slim (30XX) models and all Super Slim models.
Although this tutorial was recorded on firmware 4.91, the jailbreak process with PS3 Toolset is the same on higher firmwares as long as all of the software needed has been updated. The only differences would be a firmware specific patch, which PS3 Toolset will download for you, and a different CFW matching your firmware version. If you see the video title and description shows a higher firmware number than what is shown in the video, that means PS3 Toolset has been updated for that specific firmware version.
If you do not own a CFW compatible PS3, give PS3HEN a try!

Hello mr mario, I was following the video and it was doing all good until when I got into the browser and went for the ps3 toolset it gave me a bunch of errors so I cant go to the system manager. They are all towards the end and talk about allocation, like "Failure to allocate 0x1300000 buffer from browser container" or "borrow: system allocation failed" or "sysmem.alloc:global system allocation failed".

There was no md5 txt file when I unzipped the CFW 4.91 file...

[@TheGl0ryKid]

hey not sure if you’re still seeking help on the missing MD5 file, but from my understanding, it is not ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. I jailbroke my PS3 without the MD5 file present. Just make sure every other step shown in the video is followed perfectly, and that every other console qualification is met (compatible model and software number). On top of that, as long as you are downloading a file from the exact link provided in the description, you SHOULD succeed. I went with the CFW 4.91 Cobra 8.4 PEX download and mine did NOT have the md5 file either. I took the risk of continuing with the process as instructed and it worked perfectly. Please keep in mind this was just my personal experience, but if it worked for me and for a few others in the comments as well, you all should be able to successfully jailbreak without the md5 file too. Good luck.

[@FacelessVixen]

Just wanted to give this heads up: If like me, you're having issues with getting to PS3 Toolset to fully actuate PS3 (assuming that your PS3 is comparable with CFW): Get you PS3 on a mobile network. Certain ISPs are causing an interference so that the site won't fully actuate with the console. Verizon was stopping the site from checking my PS3's firmware, but Mint/T-Mobile didn't seem to care.

Thanks!

[@MrMario2011]

Much appreciated! Although I recommend you donate to the PS3Xploit team first and foremost.

[@Dragon_born-qw.0]

Excellent detailed tutorial but unfortunately nothing loads on the Ps3toolset page. I see the title in address bar but nothing happens after that even after like half an hour.

Hey MrMario I am wondering do I need the md5 file because every time I download the 4.91 CFW it gives me everything except the md5 just wondering what I should do

I really should get around to Jailbreakin my Phat model now ...!!

[@MrMario2011]

Definitely recommended.

[@AliMohammed-dd5ut]

thanks bro!

[@MrMario2011]

Happy to help

[@AxelKufen-pb9ix]

I love those videos. Very well explained and easy to follow. Thanks for your work! One question out of pure interest: When you're on the ps3tool-site and making this dump-file can you reuse it under the memory patch file tab? Or do you have to use the hardware tool you mentioned earlier if your console gets weird or you want to start over (for whatever reason)?

[@MrMario2011]

Have to use a hardware flasher.

[@yuhhrl]

At 30:07 can you explain if we arent using a ps3 controller? I also my multiman is not showing under games even though it shows it downloaded successfully

[@MrMario2011]

It's there.

[@Bigoldcupofdirtysprite]

I don’t know what i did wrong but multiman wont open error 8001003A and webman configuration wont load too

[@jonasandersson2038]

Everything worked great! Thanks. I do have one question, Can I still log in to my PSN? Without getting banned..

[@MrMario2011]

Always a risk

[@oneilmw]

Is there a bootloader that I can use with this, or is it included? I want to boot into linux from the bootloader, so I want to see something like grub2 giving me the option of where to boot. Does it turn the ps menu into a really bloated bootloader? No special boot sequence was shown in the video afaik so I can't tell.

[@yuukib.5528]

For anyone updating via usb didnt show up. I had go update my system normally to 4.91 and start again from the beginning for it to show up.

[@brendanmarks9389]

Hey so the steps for CFW software setup has changed since the link you have directs you to version 4.91.2 and the files are much different than your video. Any advice?

[@MrMario2011]

Same steps

[@taki7148]

hi great video so far, but i didnt get a install plugin pop up, i still got the green tick top right and my console still beeped,

[@Djhg2000]

Any chance of getting to watch your latest videos on Rumble again soon? I'm trying to de-Google and getting rid of KZbin is next on my list.

[@MrMario2011]

I'll need to manually upload them at some point, admittedly been slacking as their mirror feature from KZbin isn't working now. I personally like Odysse more, and you can find all the latest uploads there!

[@diegomedina9637]

I'll finally pop the CFW cherry once PW is confirmed to be in the MGS Master Collection Vol.2

[@ninjadodovideos]

Very helpful guide. CFW install seems to have gone well. However when I get to installing MultiMan (31:48) it says "Install completed" like the video, but then the app icon does not appear in the Game tab on PS3 menu. Any idea what might have gone wrong there? Do I need a different version of MultiMan? Or did I get something wrong in the process?

[@MrMario2011]

It's in there.

[@ninjadodovideos]

@@MrMario2011 I found out it was hidden in a sub-folder called "Unknown" because I had Group Content set to "Format". Setting this Group Content to "All" revealed it on the main screen, though setting it to "Format" again created a new set of more specific folders with some things going in "Playstation" and other going in "Playstation 3".

[@jielibai2912]

My CEX download didn't have a md5.txt in it. Did I do something wrong with my download?

[@jamesharder5449]

I’ve never done this before so I was wondering if there are any dangers or warnings I should be aware of?
