Firmwares

Below is a list of firmwares of the most popular developers. It is recommended to download them straight from the source, which is what's primarily provided here, but this page also lists alternate links if applicable. If any links are broken, send a message in the ConsoleMods Discord and it’ll be fixed ASAP. You can check the PUP MD5 hash to verify that the file you download is unmodified and an exact copy.

NoBD means it's for use with consoles with a broken or missing Blu-Ray logic board.
NoBT means it's for use with a broken or missing Bluetooth chip.
There are also firmware versions that are both noBD and noBT, in case both are missing/broken.

A list of most of the official/custom/hybrid firmwares and PUP MD5s can be found on MidnightChannel and Darthsternie in different categories. Darksoftware also has an archive of official PS3 firmware, and Rebug/Rogero custom firmwares.

Please donate to the developers to help with future releases!

HFW (Hybrid Firmware)

Do not install OFW or standard HFW on a console with CFW currently installed, or after using bgtoolset/ps3toolset/Flash Writer if you intend to have CFW. HFW/OFW is not custom firmware, and you will have to redo the flash exploit if installed. However, dual-boot HFW from Littlebalup will work fine. Currently, Evilnat is the recommended CFW.

Not actually HFW; it just happens to be the last official Sony firmware that has the exploitable Webkit version that PS3HEN utilizes.

CFW (Custom Firmware)

Evilnat

Evilnat has posted that their variants of DEX CFW are unstable and so are not recommended for install. If you require a DEX custom firmware, either use Evilnat D-PEX, or enable QA Flags if required, and downgrade to 4.84.2 Rebug DREX
