  • multiMAN 04.06.00 & New CFW 4.21 on the horizon

    It appears we may not be stuck on 3.55 CFW much longer. Deank has provided us with some conformation that this new CFW labeled Red Power's 4.21 is indeed real. multiMAN has been updated to version 04.06.00 so this CFW is compatible when it is released to the public, There also was speculation that this CFW may need a reDRM dongle in order to use the CFW. That was false information as deank also confirms this CFW will not need a dongle of any sort. multiMAN also just turned 2 years old. What a 2 years it has been for this app., was great at the start and now is spectacular. Soon as you don't think it can get any better it always does. So thank you deank for all the amazing updates and work you have put into this amazing application the past two years..Below you will find out more information about Red Power 4.21 CFW through some very rough google translations. Please everyone be patient while this new CFW makes it way to the public. Be cautious of any potential fakes. Keep in mind this is not deank's CFW so this story could take some turns before it is released to the public

    Update: The Changelog appears to be speaking of two different CFW's.



    Deank @ ps3crunch forums

    I just woke up and read some posts about some chinese sh*tty dongle for 4.21... Just to make it clear - the mM update has nothing to do with it and doesn't need a dongle if used with 4.21cfw. It is a pure speculation I guess, because there are a lot of people around who won't allow another dongle to surface anyway. I don't believe that their dongle (which I doubt it exists at all) will see the light of any day!

    Red Power's 4.21 CFW

    A Chinese website "bbs.duowan" first broke the news of a new CFW with this video and the information.

    First, get under host.
    Host model CECH-2512B
    has 4.21CFW brush good RED POWER ... get is to brush the sure 4.21 official system can brush. Verify that the 3.55 can brush, it is recommended to continue to adhere to the 3.55 positions first, waiting for further news ! Updated: RED POWER Reply - only 3.55 brush Brush risk 3.55 upgrade to the official 4.21. Hard down the machine can brush . The -------------------------------------------- system can say with certainty , which is a system of 4.21, rather than 3.55 camouflage like. PSV data management in the figure above icon is irrefutable evidence! -------------------------------------------- next game testing: Monster Hunter P3 HD - running OK because the host comes with the MM version is too old, does not support the load directly into the game to install PSP REMASTER Then copy the the game ontology install PKG USB hard disk to install the installation is complete, XMB appears Click for the MHP3 the icon to enter GOGOGO 2, Dynasty Warriors MR2 HD - running OK and Monster Hunter P3 HD game external use MM Loading install icon in the XMB (I do not know why, MHP3 not life and death to this icon, I thought it was the MM version) installed then XMB game icon. Click to go running OK so far, the PSP REMASTER the game test come to an end, no accident, then, the light tone HD should be no problem. This is also further proof, RED POWER 4.21CFW real 4.21 system. Love summer alchemical Kobo Chinese version - run OK directly load the game in MM return to the XMB can be run. (Do not Tucao that MM's name, I do not know why, get host MM title Genji, estimated the MM changes when useful to Genji SFO) after 10 minutes of installation officially entered the game the names perfect game (this broken TV box is not very clear, but still be able to see it orz), so this is not with the Japanese version of the patch in the DEX run Oh 4 Bleach Soul burning the Chinese version - run OK load the game, return to the XMB can be run directly in MM.

Select "Yes" or "No" can be a normal game. This 3.55 MM change because the system directly, but masked this feature of the MM cause it will prompt OTL although no real significance. 4, genuine disk run no problem, test the journey of the Chinese version, the Chinese version of the Tokyo Jungle -------------------------------- ---------------- homebrew aspects: to my host comes with two homemade program - one OM is a MM. The MM version also comes quite old, and can be seen with a 3.55 MM reform OM can not run, MM can. Find someone to study these two procedures of 4G rods Discuss Topic. Tuesday 02 October, found that the signature is different. In addition, their own test to install the latest version of the MM and openps3ftpsplit of, can run, so it should be, and the team claimed - the system can not run other homebrew !

      This is indeed great news it will be interesting to see if 4.21 keys will be released because of this or if they were not used perhaps released thanks to this if so it will be interesting to see how many people choose to still stick with 3.55

      well, it's interesting how exactly did they pull of 4.21 cfw.

      i'll hold on to my doubts for now, though.

      Remember the past with 3.41 to 3.55. It may need to mature a bit before its worth upgrading. Because i doubt you can go back unless you have a flasher..

      Also this is not Deank CFW so if there is always the possibility of details changing.

      Is this a modified 3.55 with a higher set of keys, or a modified 4.21 OFW from scratch?

      It's strange it cannot be installed on a higher firmware than 3.55.

      I hope it doesn't require extra hardware.


      can't wait to see ^_^

      Hmmm...on 4.21CFW, change the PARAM.SFO to 3.55, playing a game that just came out YESTERDAY in the United States....

      No qualms here.

      Its actually not that strange why it cant be installed on higher firmware than 3.55. CFW 3.55 is only possible because a bug that Sony did. This bug allowed people to find out the private encryption keys, so they could sign firmware like it is official. Sony fixed this bug in firmware 3.56. Now it is not possible to sign things like it is official on firmware 3.56 (or maybe 3.60) or higher.

      My guess is that someone have decrypted OFW 4.21 and managed to repacked it somehow with the 3.55 keys. This is why it is only possible to install it on firmware 3.55.

      am I the only one that noticed that mM won't work for Red Power/Blue Disk 4.21 CFW?

      I still think the video, might be bogus, just too many things look fishy on it.

      The clock rolling back 2 minutes from 5:44 to 5:42, the prompt for param.sfo which seems to say that the game may be 4.21 but MM sees the system as running 3.55, and the fact that MM is named "Genji Days of the Blade" after loading DOA 5. Yes they could be all "side affects" of the new CFW but that is an odd list of side affects.

      I think the story would seem more legit without the video. There may be a 4.21 CFW in the works and I am all for it, even requiring a dongle (for the unlock, not DRM) would be fine to me if it unlocks all games and homebrew like old mod chips. I just don't think this vid is good proof, or any proof at all. Doesn't even seem like proof as 4.21 game running on 3.55 cfw, more like after loading the game in 3.55 CFW the component cables were switched on the back of the projector to another powered on ps3, that was on 4.21 debug fw running the game.

      In my opinion, the only thing that makes this creditable is what deank wrote in the latest MultiMAN update. But there is still the question of what "CFW 4.21" is being defined as. It could perhaps mean something simple as being able to boot games games signed upto 4.21 on CFW 3.55.

      The video is clearly not running true CFW 4.21 since it is missing the 'TV/Video Service' icon that is suppose to be to the left of the 'Game' icon. I guess that it is possible to remove this icon, but it doesnt make much sense to remove this icon if you're trying to prove that it is CFW 4.21.

      According to the site that broke the news the 'Dongle Free' aspect was just a stunt in order to get peoples attention. They have now decided that they will be releasing this with the need for a DRM dongle.

      The team have also changed their name to Blue Disk instead of Red Power in light of the dongle announcement.

      Too good to be true.

      I did see this video before and like most I was in the opinion just another 3.55 with a mask. Infact, i never took it serious inspite of many forums claiming it legit. After all now we have most of the higher FW games for 3.55 and even 3.40.
      But since its from Deank, i've just started to drool. If it comes out what a great time it would be with RE6, GOW Ascension, NFS MW2, GTA5 et al big names on the horizon.

      i'd be willing to bet the Mm used in the video automatically checks the param.sfo and if it sees 3.56 or greater if prompts to change the param.sfo.

      if deank is involved im sure its legit, he don't play around with scene drama.

      if you read the mM changelog carefully you should clearly see that Dean is speaking of two entirely different 4.21 CFWs one that does not yet support Hermes payload and one that uses Hermes payload FFS
