So this tutorial will teach you how to install rebugs 4.30.2 REX custom firmware and then spoof the firmware to 4.46 so you can go online and data transfer to and from your 4.46 OFW ps3.

So first we're going to install Rebugs 4.30.2 REX custom firmware
Does this mean if i have a 4.30 ps3 I can install this custom firmware? No, you have to be on version 3.55 or lower to install ANY custom firmware.
Does this mean I'll be on 4.30 firmware and won't be able to go back to 3.55? No, you can go back to 3.55 anytime you want with REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION on a QA enabled PS3 or with the ’999' DOWNGRADER if QA was NOT enabled.

If you are on a firmware higher than 4.30 go to the "How to uninstall Rebugs 4.30.2 REX custom firmware." section and install Rebugs 3.55.4 REX CFW to downgrade back to 3.55 cfw.


make a backup of your NOR/NAND. (If you're feeling lazy you can skip this step) Before you install this firmware you should first make a backup of your NOR/NAND in case anything goes wrong and you brick your PS3.
To do this plug your usb into the right usb slot of your PS3. Install Rebug toolbox and underneath the "Utilities" menu choose "EXPORT FLASH TO FILE: Backup your current NOR/NAND to file on dev_usb000".
You can now copy your .NANDBIN or .NORBIN onto your computer for safekeeping.

Or you can install latest version of multiMAN, launch multiMAN under Games and go to "File Manager / mmOS" now select any file, press circle and then "Open in HEX Viewer". Then press SELECT and START. It will then ask you if you want to "export GameOS LV2" press "No" and now it will ask you if you want to "export HV LV1" press "No". Now it will ask you if you want to "export FLASH memory" click "Yes" and it will copy your ps3's NAND/NOR memory to a file on your USB.
You can now copy your .NANDBIN or .NORBIN onto your computer for safekeeping.

Put the custom firmware on your USB. Rename the custom firmware .PUP file to PS3UPDAT.PUP and put it inside this directory on your USB > PS3 > UPDATE > PS3UPDAT.PUP

Disable your internet connection. This is just so you don't accidentally update to the latest 4.46 OFW and get stuck there. Go to "Settings", then "Network Settings" and choose "Disable" on the "Internet Connection" option.

Put your ps3 into recovery mode. Put your ps3 on standby so the red light is still on and hold your finger on the on button until it turns off again. Then take your finger off and hold it back on until you hear a single beep and then a double beep. When you hear the double beep take your finger off and your ps3 will go into recovery mode.
