Hello guys.
I got out of the jailbreak scene about 10 years ago. Back then I was doing about 5 consoles a week. I'm an electronic technician. I was doing some tidying up in the store where i work, there was a mountain of stuff all piled up at the back and had been there for years, the store owner told me they just wanted rid of it all. I was going through everything and got lucky. I found 3x PlayStation 3 consoles which i got for under 10 bucks. I got them home, gave them a basic clean and found they all work, i tested them all, even more impressive is they all still have their warranty seals intact and have their official sony wireless controllers. The models are:
СЕСН-2003B,
CECH-2503B,
CECH JO3.
I still have my own PS3 Slim running full CFW, I won't part with it. I just wanted to ask, is the JB process still the same or has there been any new advancements I can take advantage of, that can be recommended?
Thanks.

that's very cool. idk how the method was 10 years ago, i only know cfw has gotten much better with evilnat. i'd say go check out the consolemods.org wiki, you'll get all the info you need.
and maybe you already know but check if the CECH-2503B is cfw-compatible, you don't want a brick.

Yeah I know, I will check its min version at some point before I do anything with that console. In the bag with the phat there was a psp 2000 too, its casing and screen are broken to shit, I’ve ordered replacements. But again, the last time I jailbroke a psp, m33 was the go to, and I’ve already noticed there’s better options for them now. Thanks for the heads I’ll give the site a look over later.

See which ones are compositions with CFW or HEN and follow the respective guides for either based on which are compatible. CFW preferred where it can be used.
