Hello all,

Noob question. I am confused. I have a 3.55 FW PlayStation. I want to jailbreak it (obviously). Do I need a special USB or Dongle? Or does any USB FAT drive work?
I googled but received many responses. I only trust this site, lol.

Thanks,
julio1583

Then what would be this method?

I am confused between Dongles and USB Flash drives. I hear that a USB with CFW can be done and then install backup manager. Is this true, should I follow the tut I just referenced?

you have to mod your ps3 with a dongle
then after that you use a usb HD to put your games on
and play them from with a backup manger
it 2 different things

no dongle needed with 3.55FW

Just pick a 3.55CFW off your choice and update through the xmb or recovery mode using a normal usb stick

id go with kmeaws cfw personally

It has to be 3.55 or earlier, but later versions can be flashed back to 3.55 I believe...
