Jailbreak your PS3--- Firmware below 3.41

Own a PS3 and an Android powered phone? Are you sick of doing those Jailbreaks or reading tips on how to Jailbreak your iPhone? Here’s something different, a tip to hack your Sony PlayStation with Google Android Phones. Let’s call it a jailbreak instead.


This would enable you to create backups of your games on your PS3 console, but remember one thing before reading on or trying this how to: Sony can ban your PS3 from its PlayStation Network if your device is modded or hacked. With the warning issued, let’s proceed with the steps.

Step1. Download PSGroove for the Google Nexus One and the HTC Desire and unzip the file.

Step 2. You will then have to extract the N1-CM6-PSFreedom.tar.gz and then copy the same to your Android Phone’s SD Card. Along with these files copy PS3-signed.zip and PS3-no-more-signed.zip to the SD Card. With this done reboot your mobile in the recovery console.

Step3. With the reboot done, you can then flash the PS3-signed.zip on the mobile and reboot it again.

Step 4. Use ConnectBot [or other terminal app] and enter the following:


cd/mnt/sdcard
su
insmod psfreedom.ko
Step 5. Turn off your PS3 and connect your mobile device using the USB cable.
Step 6. Switch on your PS3 and ensure you press the power and the Eject button one after the other.
Step 7. Welcome your PlayStation 3 jailbroken with the Android phone. This can be further confirmed by seeing the Install Package Files on the PS3 interface.
You can also check out what phones are compatible by visiting PSFreedom. You can reset your phone by flashing the PS3-no-more-signed.zip from the device in the recovery mode and your Android is back in the non-flashed state. Be warned that this hack has a few bugs associated to the WiFi and the Mass Storage options.
I just wonder when users can hack the PS3 with the iPhone?
