How to Install PS3 CFW
To install PS3 custom firmware (CFW), you'll need a compatible PS3 model (usually a fat or early slim version), USB drive, and the CFW file. First, format your USB to FAT32, then create a folder named 'PS3' and within it, another folder named 'UPDATE'. Place the CFW file (named PS3UPDAT.PUP) in the 'UPDATE' folder. Insert the USB into your PS3, go to System Update, and choose 'Update via Storage Media'. Follow the prompts to complete the installation. Voilà, you're done!

Just get a PS3 compatible with CFW, download the firmware, and update via USB. Simple!
I've done this myself a few times, and it's a breeze if you follow each step carefully. Make sure your PS3 is on the right firmware version (usually 3.55) before attempting to install CFW. If it's not, you'll need to downgrade first, which can be more complicated. Good luck, and happy modding!
Honestly, it's not worth the risk. You could brick your PS3 or get banned from PSN. Stick with the official firmware for safety.
