Wall of text incoming,
So recently I purchased a
CECHA01 off of eBay, the system was running
Cobra CFW 4.30, and the
Cobra USB Tool was included, so I figured it was a pretty good deal for my needs, which is to
play legal backups of my PS2, PS1 and PS3 library.
I received the unit and messed around with it a bit, but I'm not certain the person who owned it before me knew what they were doing, there is no indication of it running on a CFW, other then the fact that multiman is installed, trying to install packages gives me an error, the unit is not QA flagged, and while it does launch PS3 backups (through a convoluted and, honestly, buggy method),
I can not get PS2 nor PS1 backups to launch at all. it gives me a grey screen (forever) and in some cases gives me an error message.
So I decided I should probably come and ask, what's the easiest way to
completely wipe a system and start over when running a CFW? I can not find a guide on formatting the harddrive on CFW, however, I read a tutorial about downgrading to Rogero CFW 3.55 Downgrader, and I have done that and QA Flagged the console. So far so good, my question is, what's the next step? Is there a way to format the drive and basically "Start Fresh" without risking losing my jailbreak?
Do I need to install OFW 3.55 before proceeding, or can I install a CFW from Rogero CFW 3.55 Downgrader?
After that, what CFW should I install to give me the easiest time making and playing backups? I have physical copies of all the games I want to do this with. I have heard Cobra 7.00 does not require the USB Tool, so I was considering that, but a lot of people have told me to stay away from HABIB as it is viewed as "unprofessional", the CFW I was considering before was
This one before hearing that. is there a rebug CFW I could use to play backups?
Basically, I want to format the system, and then go through the steps to install the best CFW to allow me to play backups easily, along with the tools to make those backups, this is the only functionality I need, online does not need to work at all, I have a PS3 slim on OFW for online functionality.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I know this forum is flooded with noobs like myself asking the same questions over and over again, I'd just really appreciate some advice on my specific situation.
Thanks!
