Editing Enabling Homebrew

{{stub}}

There are currently several ways to enable homebrew on a console.

= Prerequisites =
* You require Firmware 3.55 or below, if you have higher than this, than you will need to look at [[Downgrading Firmware]]
* You cannot currently run homebrew on some of the later slim models, and none of the new [[CECH-30xx]] models.

= Methods =

== Geohot Jailbreak ==
While outdated, this original jailbreak can still be used to jailbreak your console.

This is not a fully modified Firmware. It is simply a patch that allows you to run code.

It installs like any other CFW etc.

== Dongle Jailbreak ==
Using an AVR/PIC or other active USB device with running specific code to exploit the USB descriptor (only works on 3.41 and older).

== Linux ==
Just install Linux and run apps on it.
Until version 3.21 you could install it without CFW on Fat PS3s, but since this infamous update, you have to use community tools in order to do so. Read more here: [[OtherOS++]].

== BD Java ==
...

== Browser based ==
Homebrew: Java, Javascript based

Jailbreaking: Right now, there are no exploits for browser. It's pretty basic one too, kind of IE6 for PS3, even mobile pages sometimes won't be shown correctly (Example: http://m.deviantart.com)
