  • 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. Moves to table the perfect garbled, not the U.S. version of the finished patch (continue to the AV terminal urine quality kneeling) Disgaea 4 Chinese version - run OK directly load the game in MM Back XMB run that can. 6, Double Dragon (PSN) - run OK to install the official PKG file, then. edat authority of MM FTP sent to Double Dragon icon / dev_hdd0/home/00000001/exdata / run directly XMB can PES2013 - running OK directly load the game in MM, return to the XMB can be run. Resident Evil 6 DEMO - running OK directly install the official PKG file, XMB test on this game icon to run the game, nothing measurable tomorrow going to retest Hatsune EX it wants in the game test Some details: 1, confirmed before the release of the 3.41 & 3.55 crack EBOOT should be directly (tested with destruction company Pacific Squadron WWII, the game ontology is 3.55 cracked the EBOOT) , TB (JB2)'s, EBOOT mishap , it is estimated that 99% not 3 MM loaded higher than the 3.55 version of the game will be prompted if you want to modify the SFO was 3.55. 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 ! The, MM Fortunately own FTP tool. Been tested, MM FTP function is normal ......

      why would be a mistake?., they wont be able to sell them? why?


      Well.. a 4.21 CFW dongle free will be released on next Days/months, or this is just a big, fat,.. Joke.

      There will always be people or won't wait and buy the dongle. As long as they don't produce too much stock then they can make profit from it. A few thousand dollars for a few weeks, is better than nothing to a lot of these dongle creators.

      Why are people saying that if this is 3.55 CFW but uses 4.21 keys to play newer games it is not news and useless? Think about it... You'd be able to play ALL games at 4.21 and below, without replacing files, without having to wait for others to decrypt the eboot... This is a good thing.

      Nah! the thing that the pup needs to be installed on 3.55 is that the pup is signed with 3.55 private keys and obviously wont install on 3.56 or later firmwares, that's why they suggest you to downgrade way to 3.55 just to install the pup.

      But if im not mistaken, their CFW is using the latest coreos and other things, so I dont see why it wont work on later consoles, just dont know another way to install a pup.

      Wow great news!! Never thought we would go any further than 3.55 eboot patches. Hopefully we are able to play the upcoming new releases like god of war ascension, the last of us, assassins creed 3, new dmc, and dragon ball z budokai hd trilogy.

      At least I will be able to play sleeping dog, darksiders 2, amazing spiderman, starhawk, and lollipop chainsaw. I cant ****ing wait. Thanks Deank and red power/blue disk I really appreciate it, thanks again.

      I might stick with 3.55 for awhile, but when it is released (if it is true) I will download it to my computer just incase Sony pulls something and takes it off, so I can have it, but im gonna see peoples feedback about it and stuff for awhile, if its good feedback Ill try it out

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.
      Sony changed fw updater on or after ofw 3.56 so probably has the old updater in cfw 4.21 and needs 3.55 to do so.

      What good would that do? I dont think that many people are upgrading to official firmware 4.21 just based on this Everyone can not be bought/being corruptible by the way.

      Have you not been paying attention at all? There are two 4.21 CFWs coming out. Read all the past comments.

      To all those wondering if this will require OFW 4.21 or CFW 3.55 to work, I'm guessing you still need to be on 3.55CFW as the exploit used to install any CFW is exists on OFW 3.55.

      For this to work on OFW 4.21 we would need a new exploit I'm guessing as the original one was patched by $ony on OFW 3.56.

      Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

      for those that inquiring about updating MM to 04.06.00 should go to the proper thread. or not.

      also, I think i'll stick with 3.55 until the dongle become obsolete. however, if they proven their work and it IS effective, then MAYBE i'll purchase their dongle.

      They can post here or in the official multiMAN thread its all related to the story.

      Info is still sketchy but to me it appears we have two teams working on CFW 4.21. One that plans to be free and one that may try a dongle (but dongle will fail since we have DEX and a free CEX solution possible). So i wouldn't worry about the dongle news its all speculation at this point. We should just be happy we have some progress.
