You can install CFW without a J/B device on a PS3 because the available CFWs are signed. The PS3 must be on OFW <=3.55 and as far as I am aware you have a choice in CFW of either 3.41 or 3.55. Note. whichever you choose, it is recommended that the PS3 must be on the corresponding OFW version. For example, if you wanted CFW 3.55 and your PS3 was on OFW 3.41, you would need to install OFW 3.55 and then install CFW 3.55 over the top.
Thankfully the days of the PS3 J/B are over.
