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

Prerequisits

  • 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

Dongle Jailbreak
