PS3 Toolset For 4.86 by bguerville A powerful collection of tools

Now supporting 4.86 Fully & Issue fixed with NAND console's in rare situations

General Information about the PS3 Toolset

- Toolset supports all ps3 models & official firmware versions from 4.82 to 4.85 (cex & dex) *some ps3 models have exclusive features/tools (note: toolset tools will also work from CFW)
- PS3 Toolset is executed from the PS3's Web-Browser by visiting the following URL (SSL): https://www.ps3xploit.net/bgtoolset
- PS3 Browser Requirements

*JavaScript (Enabled from browser settings)
*Cookies (Enabled from browser settings)
*Flash Plugin (Enabled, but this one has a few caveats that may need explaining, the good news being that the toolset will detect the issue and let you know how to proceed (if there is an issue), see further explanations below)

- If ever in the past, you agreed to load the Flash Player plugin when prompted and checked the checkbox "Do not show again", you should have no issue & will never even see the plugin popup.

- If you never before checked the "Do not show again" checkbox, you will be greeted with a popup asking you to allow the Flash player plugin. If you agree to load the plugin, the PS3 toolset should continue to load. Note that if you take more than 15s to agree when prompted by the popup, you will get a PS3 Toolset warning about the plugin being disabled even if you finally agreed to load the plugin, just refresh the page when prompted.

- If ever you got the Flash Player plugin popup in the past & selected NO and checked the checkbox "Do not show again", the Flash Player plugin will be permanently disabled, consequently the PS3 Toolset will not be able to load. Unfortunately there seems to be no official way to reset this setting in the browser. The PS3 toolset does have automatic detection of this issue and some instructions are given. Currently the easiest workaround is to create a new user profile on the XMB, when launching the toolset on the new profile, you will be greeted with the browser pop-up asking to allow the flash plugin. However it has been found that in some cases, a new user profile is not sufficient to reset the Flash Player plugin status. I hope that other devs & advanced users will look into this situation while I continue working on new tools, if nobody does, I might end up looking into the problem after the next tool release.

- You are free to use the tools in this project at your own risk. Keep in mind that no official support is provided, if you experience any kind of problem & find yourself in need of help, I strongly recommend that you turn to the PS3Xploit sub-forum on psx-place.com for support & guidance..
- It is highly recommended that you adjust the console's System Time settings properly to avoid any time related issues with the browser and/or the Flash Player plugin.
- To avoid potential crashes, you should never attempt to close the browser while toolset operations are in progress, especially when the browser exit confirmation setting is turned off.
- PS3 Toolset only loads tools & features compatible for your console, this means no accidental use of a feature not compatible with your system.
- No local/offline version is planned & the source code will remain closed for the time being.
