First of all, there are a few things that you must have in order to jailbreak your ps3.
1. Do you have the original 3.55 firmware? (if your not sure, go to system settings on your ps3, then scroll down to system information. It will display your firmware version there)
2. If you have the original 3.55 firmware. Go on to part B
3. If no, have you updated PAST 3.55? This jailbreak method is NOT for you.
If no, do you have a version BELOW 3.55? Go on to part A.

Part A
Ok, you have a version below 3.55? Then we should update to 3.55.

1. Make sure your USB is Fat32 formatted. Check FAT32 Format Guide
2. Download the Official firmware update version 3.55 or from this link: OFW 3.55
3. Put the update file named PS3UPDAT.PUP on your USB in the map PS3, and then the map UPDATE
So the path would be X:/PS3/UPDATE (X representing the letter of your USB).
4. Connect the USB device to your PS3 and update your ps3 using the option Mass Storage Device (Go to Settings->System update.
5. Follow the prompts. When done, you should have version 3.55. Awsome! Let's continue!

Part B, getting the CFW 3.55 ready for jailbreaking your ps3

When you have version 3.55 installed: we will use Prepatched k-3.55 Custom Firmware (CFW) (from K-meaw) to jailbreak your Ps3
Download here: Kmeaw Custom Firmware (CFW) 3.55
Connect your USB to your computer and make sure your USB has the format FAT32
Put the update file from K-meaw named PS3UPDAT.PUP on your USB in the map PS3, and then the map UPDATE
So the path would be X:/PS3/UPDATE (X representing the letter of your USB)
Connect your USB to your Ps3 and go to the Ps3 Recovery Screen

Part C, getting into the Ps3 Recovery Mode screen and installing the CFW

To install the CFW you have to boot your ps3 into the recovery mode.
Now go to your Ps3 console and turn it off.
Next, hold down your power button until your Ps3 turns on and then beeps 3-times and turns off again.
Let go of the button when off.
Now hold down the power button until the Ps3 beeps once and then twice and then let go of the button.
Visual example.

• You should now see the recovery screen.

• If it asks you to plug in your Controller remote, then do it and hit the PS button.

• Scroll down to option (6) System Update and hit X.

• Follow the prompts.

• Once the update is finished, your Ps3 will reboot.

You just did the ps3 jailbreak method! Excellent.

Easy way to Verify that you have the Jailbreak... Look for these two items under your GAME icon
1) Install Package Files
2) /app.home/PS3_GAME/

Any .pkg file you want to install, just put it on your usb drive and go to the " Install Package Files " button under games on your xmb.

When using this method you have only made your Ps3 ready for homebrew games etc...
But to play backup games etc... you still need to install a proper BACK UP MANAGER -->>HOW TO INSTALL MultiMAN.... backup manager for Kmeaw's CFW 3.55 - PS3 Jailbreak Community

When you've successfully done the Ps3 jailbreak method get a backup manager! I suggest using multiMAN [Updated 8/21/11]

MultiMAN ver 02.03.00 Full here -> http://www.filesonic.com/file/1727828974
MultiMAN ver 02.03.00 base here ->http://www.filesonic.com/file/1727828994
BDEMU2 http://www.filesonic.com/file/1727836044
You also need BDEMU (find it here -> BDEMU.rar )

So if you used the Ps3 jailbreak method, you have Kmeaw's CFW so make sure
you download MultiMAN for Kmeaw (Fw 3.40~3.55/WNK/3.55Kmeaw)
and NOT Geohot (Fw 3.55 GH/WTNG Mega Pack)

Put the MultiMAN package on your USB root stick.
Stick it in your ps3 and when you've successfully done the Ps3 jailbreak method,
you should have the option in the game menu "Install Packages"
Install the MultiMAN backup manager from your USB stick and there you have your backup manager
You will now see MultiMAN in your ps3 Game menu. Done!
