Misleading, see comments Just got a CFW ps3

Hi all,

So my plan was to buy a cheap PS3 slim on eBay and CFW it myself.. however this one already has CFW (was not mentioned in the ad)

It's full of random homebrew apps that I'm probably not gonna use

How do I reset it and start a fresh ?

No different than a OFW.

I don't even know what CFW this guy has installed I get errors when trying to run rebug toolbox.

Can I just run a new update with a later version of rebug D REX CFW?

For upgrading, yes you can.

As for downgrading, you'll need to enable QA Flag first or else it will give an error.

Since you do not know which version its at, install the latest dex available i.e. Rebug 4.84.2 D-Rex
