I've just borrowed a Playstation 3 from my sister's boyfriend and quite obviously I wish to install CFW on it.
The FW it came with was 4.80 which I updated to 4.82 since PS3Xploit seems to run on that.
Model number is CECH-2504A (160GB) and the date code is 1A (Jan-Mar 2011). Minchkver returned FW 3.50.
Now, I have a couple of questions:
1) I've read that PS3Xploit requires a FAT/Slim console with a minimum version of 3.56 or below. Now, that's all well and good BUT in the same thread (PSX Palace), it says that consoles need to be from December 2010 or earlier. I assume that since my console has a minimum FW of 3.50, it has metldr (not metldr2) but I still want to be 100% certain. Is it safe to use the NOR version of PS3Xploit on my borrowed console then?
2) I wish to install Rebug 4.81. I read that you first need to install a 4.82 CFW (such as Ferrox), enable the QA Toggle and install Rebug 4.81. Now, I know that to toggle QA, you need to install a pkg file and run that (and reboot) BUT how do I check if it's really on (don't wanna brick this console for sure!)? Some say you need to use some key combo to fully enable it.
3) Somebody on Twitter made a PUP file to directly go from OFW 4.82 to Rebug 4.81. Does this mean that I can install it directly after running the browser exploit without toggling QA?
Thanks for reading this Any answers will surely let me sleep better haha

Aurora
