PSFreedom instructions
Turn the switch off in the back of your Playstation 3 or unplug the power cord.
Then plug in your device and plug in the power cord of the PS3 or flip the switch back on.
Once you have that done, quickly press the power then immediately after press the eject button (as fast as you can).
You will know it work when it takes a slightly longer time (about 5 seconds more) to turn on.
The PS3 should boot up and you will see two new options in the games portion of the XMB (cross media bar).
That's it, you've rooted your PS3, and you are ready to install Homebrew applications!
You can now safely disconnect your device and return it to normal operation mode while enjoying this exploit.
Removal Instructions
Reboot phone into recovery
Select "nandroid"
Select "advanced restore"
Choose the nandroid backup that you made previously
Select "Restore boot"
Select "Yes - Restore Boot"
After restore finishes, reboot phone.
Notes
Your phone will not be recognized by any computer other than maybe a "Generic Hub".
The phone will not charge when hooked up to anything besides a wall or car charger.
It is highly recommended that you make a backup of your current ROM. This will allow you to easily restore just the working Boot partition via Nandroid->Advance Restore later
Use the shortest USB cord you can find as it helps with timing
Timing may be a bit wonky so it might take a few tries. It does work though.
The timing seems to work better if you dont have any other USB devices plugged in.
