I am totally clueless when it comes to modding or any type of computer related stuff so your videos on patching are really a godsend. Now I'm jailbroken running CFW and doing my best to help some others connect where I can within a custom server community. There's still a lot of stuff I don't know most of the time but when I don't, I know just who to send them to. Great stuff man 👍👍

So the 4.91.2 Cobra 8.5 Beta 3 download folder doesn't have an md5.txt file, how do I verify the hash? (EDIT: Ended up copying my flash drive copy's hash to notepad, reloaded the MD5 page, and then drag-and-dropped the PUP file from the download, and they matched! So all good, I think!)

@TheGl0ryKid

hey not sure if you’re still seeking help on the missing MD5 file, but from my understanding, it is not ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. I jailbroke my PS3 without the MD5 file present. Just make sure every other step shown in the video is followed perfectly, and that every other console qualification is met (compatible model and software number). On top of that, as long as you are downloading a file from the exact link provided in the description, you SHOULD succeed. I went with the CFW 4.91 Cobra 8.4 PEX download and mine did NOT have the md5 file either. I took the risk of continuing with the process as instructed and it worked perfectly. Please keep in mind this was just my personal experience, but if it worked for me and for a few others in the comments as well, you all should be able to successfully jailbreak without the md5 file too. Good luck.

Just wanted to give this heads up: If like me, you're having issues with getting to PS3 Toolset to fully actuate PS3 (assuming that your PS3 is comparable with CFW): Get you PS3 on a mobile network.

What do you do if you have an old cfw installed and want to upgrade? not evilnat but another cfw? Also not hen as the console can take cfw. You mentioned at the start of the video if you have cfw you can skip the steps, but what steps exactly and where do you continue from? Can we get a vid say if you have 4.85 or so installed with cfw and want to put evilnat 4.91 which is the current latest?
