How to Jailbreak CFW 3.72

Hello! So as most of you know, the PS3 Scene just recently celebrated the one year anniversary of the PS3 being hacked/jailbroken, many, many things have happened in that short year, many changes and break throughs, Now Sony just released new Firmware 3.72 and hackers jail broken thiis CFW 3.72 in no time. If want to jailbreak your PS3 then 1st you need to read F.A.Q,the obvious being all the changes, PS3 owners just getting into the scene, need help and guidance, we also seen a failed attempt at a F.A.Q on another site and i thought that mistake needed to be rectified, with a proper F.A.Q

 

(Q) Why Would I Hack/Jailbreak My PS3 ?

(A) Hacking your PS3, gives you so many new option’s, you will be able to use emulators, homebrew apps and game backups as well as being able to use Linux, after Sony removed the function in firmware 3.21.

(Q) Is there a firmware my PS3 should be on ?

(A) It seems the preferable firmwares are 3.15(For the real OtherOS), 3.41(The original “Jailbreak” firmware) and 3.55(the first CFW PS3), 3.55 and  now 3.72 is the favourite and most used.

(Q) What Firmwares cannot be hacked yet ?
(A) 3.56 to 3.70 are unhackable at the moment, perhaps it will remain that way, or perhaps we will see a break through in the future, only time will tell.

(Q) Is Firmware 3.72 hacked yet ?
(A) Yes! at the moment 3.72 can be hackable.
(Q) What other firmwares can i hack/jailbreak my PS3 on ?

(A) 2.76, 3.01, 3.15, 3.21, 3.40, can all be “hacked” using the PS Jailbreak USB Dongle or equivalent variants, information on the useable devices, and 3.72 can  be “hacked” using the CFW 3.72 Jailbreak Tool V1.0.

(Q) I have my games backed up, i now want to play online, how do i do that ?

(A) Currently there is no way to access the PSN server to play online, even if a new CFW came out, Sony would block PSN again with a new OFW, so your only real option, if you want both homebrew and PSN, is to have two PS3′s

(Q) What are my storage options for backing up games ?

(A) You can install games on the PS3′s internal HDD or use an External USB HDD, which needs to be formatted to FAT32, you can also use a FAT32 USB Thumb Drive, note that with FAT32 you are limited to games with single files under 4GB, if you prefer all your games to be on the internal HDD, you can get up to 1TB 2.5? HDD, or you can use the Xecuter PS3 HDXT method and have your internal HDD on the outside of the machine, the benefit of this, is that you can use 3.5? Sata and IDE HDD’s as internal storage.
