PS3 INSTALLED ON: SLIM 120GB (CECH-2003A)
FIRMWARE INSTALLED ON: 3.55 GEOHOT
NEW FIRMWARE INSTALLATION: SUCCESS
NEW FEATURES: APP_HOME/PS3_GAME FOLDER
BACKUP MANAGER STATUS: WORKING
ANY SIGN OF BRICK: NONE
I installed straight over Geohot's 3.55 via the recovery menu and it worked fine. I am using MultiMan to play backed up games off the internal HDD.
If you are getting a BLACK SCREEN when loading Call of Duty Black Ops do this:
Backup game to Internal HDD via MultiMan
Put any game into the PS3 (I used MW2
)
Go into MultiMan and press X on BO to load it, you will get a message, press NO
It will take you back to the XMB and just load a game up like you normally would if you had an official firmware, by clicking the disc icon, not the GAME folder, you should notice that it doesn't say what ever game is in the disc, it will actually say Black Ops
I can confirm this works because I'm currently playing a Teamdeath match on BO with a MW2 disc in the HDD
