Update to official 3.55 . Download cfw v2 , and install waninkoko. (remember to update to 3.55 not 3.56!)
I updated to OFW 3.55 then i installed wutangrza CFW, now should i update to OFW 3.55 again and then Wanin v2, or should i directly install wanin v2 over my wutangrz ?

I am using wutangrza patched by kmeaw, if i wanna install wanin v2, how can i do that?
Go into recovery mode, 2 ways:
1: The easy way:
Step 1:
Turn off your Playstation 3.
Step 2:
Hold the power button down. The system will turn on and turn off once again.
Step 3:
Once the system has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps
Step 4:
When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.
Step 5:
You will be promted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button
Step 6:
The Recovery Menu will pop up.


2: The more complicated way:
Remove ur ps3's hdd and format it using a pc/laptop, then connect it to ur ps3 again and point the CFW in any usb storage device to the ps3 and ti will be installed. :)

I don't know why people don't bother to mention wutangrza cfw, while for me wutangrza runs every game......and with gaia manager 2.05 freezing rate is almost none. after installing gaia 2.05 my ps3 hanged only two or three times and i am using it almost from a month....

bottom line : for me wutangrza plus gaia manager 2.05 is awesome so far. and i played every latest game. I mentioned name of the games above....

Heard from couple of people who installed waninkoko v2, that it's having some issues.....a guy reported that back up managers with waninkoko v2 do not even load the game....

OKAY.... Officially reporting 100% stability for Waninkoko V2. Not a single freez so far. Took the plunge last night. Uncharted 2 is running flawlessly now (after updating to latest version), so am a very happy person :)

Fear 2, Forgotten Sands and Modern Warfare 2 are still not running. Will report after trying them with 'fix permissions'. Other than that, take it from me, W2 is better than kmeaw in almost all respects, at least for my CECHC04.

No need to go in the recovery mode. It's gimmick. If it will brick it will bring whatsoever.

Just install ofw 3.55 again everytime you need to switch to other cfws. Then install the relevant cfw you want.

Fear 2, Forgotten Sands and Modern Warfare 2 not running even after fix permissions. These three weren't reported to work in the list posted much earlier by mlitz, so I guess it's the same for all CFWs. Anybody managed to run any of those on 3.41 JB?

I think why you're generally recommended to go to recovery mode is because if you're already on 3.55 OFW, most of the times it won't let you install another 3.55 fw UNLESS you're in recovery mode. That's what happened to me, so had to go to RM.

MW2 and POP Forgotten sands both were not running even on jailbreak dongle, and cfw game compatibility is almost same as jailbreak dongle....I tried both on jailbreak dongle when i was using it, but a black screen used to come at startup of these game....

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    first one is 84 Opencritic. Saga dropped to 82.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
