So I have a PS3 with the latest OFW (not a super slim). I'm completely new to the PS3 scene so I really have no idea about anything :? Now that I got that out of the way, let me shoot some questions at you guys:

- What is the latest OFW that has been jailbroken?
- What is the safest CFW?
- What CFW has the most features?
- What can I do once my PS3 is jailbroken?
- What are my chances of bricking my PS3? (I don't plan on going online)

If there is a noob guide? I'd be nice if anyone would direct me to it. :)

I do not pay much attention to all of the news, but...

-3.55 is the latest modifiable OFW. If you are past that, I do not think that you will be able to have a CFW for quite some time.
-4.70 is the latest CFW version. "DARKNET" seems to be stable, but some things are currently better on one of the earlier 4.6X CFWs.
-Not sure, perhaps Rebug with Cobra.
-Use custom themes, homebrew applications (e.g. emulators, ), homebrew games, and game backups.
-Be careful what you install, find a good tutorial, read it several times, follow it exactly, and you may never brick it.

Sorry, I do not know if there are any tutorials if you are on the latest firmware.
There was a few things you could do on the latest firmware, but I cannot think of what they were.
A few, of what I consider to be trustworthy, sites for PS3 things are store.brewology.com, PS4News.com, and PS3Hax.net .
Do not fall for fake CFWs and such from sites that are not reputable and promise that it can be installed on the latest/any OFW.
