WARNINGS

• The accountID is directly linked to savedatas and trophies data. If you have trophies or savedatas in your current local account, THEY WILL BE CORRUPTED after setting FAKE accountID. To fix this, copy the savedata to the root of a USB, convert it and then copy it back through XMB in 'Game' tab. To fix corruption in trophies you need to delete it/them. Is highly recommended to do this on a local account without trophies/savedatas.
• The FAN speed is constant when in a PS2 game, BE CAREFUL while selecting modes because it will not change after the PS2 game is loaded. It is also static when choosing a mode in the "Manual Speed" option. All current speeds in xai_plugin must keeping a correct temperature in CPU and RSX.
• Do not rename vsh.self manually and ALWAYS use the option for it in xai_plugin, it can cause that the PS3 can't load the XMB when you have full version of webMAN MOD, DEX Kernel and CEX vsh.self. The CFW has a protection to avoid this
• The CFW has been thoroughly tested but that doesn't mean it's free of bugs, so please, if you see any, let me know on my Twitter: @xXEvilnatXx
• If you want to install OtherOS on PS3's internal HDD you first need to go to Recovery Menu and select [Restore PS3 System], this will format the HDD and create a partition for OtherOS. Remember to make a backup of all your data before.
• DON'T TRY TO SWAP KERNEL WHEN YOU HAVE LOADED AN EXTERNAL KERNEL FROM USB/FLASH!! This can cause brick and you may need a hardware flasher to repair the PS3
• You can unload Cobra/plugins if you have any problem with them, for this you need to go to Recovery Menu and then reboot the PS3, this will disable both
• It is recommended to ALWAYS activate the QA Flags, it is very important, it allows you to install CFW from versions prior to the one installed and also avoids issues2If you can't dump or make an ISO of your game disc in multiMAN, go to mmCM tab and select [Switch to multiMAN mode], this will reboot multiMAN and now you will be able to dump/make an ISO of your disc
• OtherOS on PS3 with NAND is very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing, it can cause brick and the only way to repair it is with a hardware flasher. PLEASE USE IT WITH CAUTION!
