  • Cobra USB 3.55 - Firmware Patched with Kmeaw Features

    Cobra USB is now available to use on 3.55 systems, but you have to use their CFW. That was until member of PS3Crunch, johnnydoe, released a 'kmeaw like CFW for Cobra USB 3.0' to use instead of the one that they provide. You can now enjoy kmeaw like patches while experiencing what the team at Cobra USB has to offer.

    both their core os files are patched so it should work with or without the dongle.

    If you wanna unpack it and have a look or try it you can download it here:

    Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!
    The developers behind Codename: REBUG have confirmed that this is what the author claims it to be. You will still need to use the official dongle for now though.

    Thanks to Player1 for the tip! And PS3Crunch for the pic!

      Then either buy a flasher to downgrade, or buy another ps3 that's on 3.55 or lower. The chances of you ever being able to use cfw past 3.55 are slim to none.

      I can't imagine what these "features" could be since every .pkg that I've run on Cobra works already; including Multiman (as long as you don't run Cobra's manager first the games will mount the same way), emulators, FTP, etc. Seems pointless since everything I can think of I already have with the official Cobra firmware.

      This does not work it just disables use of dongle, and freezes

      Seriously though, we just got a bunch of ways to get an exploit and now your saying there is a slim to no chance of a new CFW despite the fact most of these have yet to be combed through/not arrived yet. You sure do know what you're talking about.

      "SINCE U UPDATAD 2 A FW ABOVE 3.55 U WILL NVR GET A NEW FIRMWAER GO BAI ANOTHER PSTRIPLE THAT COST LIEK 200$, K THNX BAI EITHER DAT OR RISK BRIKING UR PS3"

      and I wonder what'll happen when we find an exploit and this guy followed your advice?

      Okay, not EVER, but for awhile atleast. There wil be downgrade methods before there is new CFW, that is for sure.

      Plus, if you are asking why there is no CFW yet for 3.56+, you are not really ready for the next step, are you?

      And, more than likely, you will need a next gen device when there is 3.56+ CFW.

      Yes, i am. At best we'll find the public keys for 3.6, which would allow us to decrypt eboots and resign them for 3.55, but that does you no good if you are already past 3.55.

      The most likely way we will get a 3.6+ cfw is if someone at sony leaks the keys, which is possible, but have fun waiting for that.

      I like how you aren't even considering progskeet and other various hardware mods.

      There already ARE downgrade methods, it's just that the average n00b can't do them and they want something a retard can do.

      n00b = retard

      So basically, I could update to 3.66 right now and than downgrade to 3.55 without a problem but, these ****tards are 2 stoopid to even attempt it (owanef, because I know he won't even buy the chip because his mommy won't buy it for him) there for, we will constantly get IS THERE A NEW CFW OUT YET OMFG PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ when there are perfectly good methods available to update and downgrade. EX :

      /forums/f118/when-94808/

      addon to psxscene dot com

      That wouldn't be a problem if he bought the chip. He would be playing portal 2 right now. But sadly he is a broke **** and is a pirate and will stay on 3.5 until a new one comes along that he can mooch off of. and so on and so on and so on until sony leaves the PS3 to rot like they did to the PS2.

      OK, first off.....This Does NOT work when you boot with cobra dongle inserted. So we just post ANYTHING without checking now? Oh wait, it doesn't brick your ps3 so it must be OK......so what if the ONLY feature promised doesn't work. Or wait, let us post it and let SOMEONE ELSE take that risk. Well tell you what: I tested it, It works without the dongle but NO cobra features. With the dongle inserted, black screen on boot. So, in the future, try to not post bogus news/software on what used to be a very well informed, trusted scene news site, especially without proper testing of said software.

      It was news, whether it worked or not, some people have already tested it to no avail. Every other site has posted it as news so why not.

      It may be something worth looking into, but definitely not worthy for front page news. It would be like saying that Obama was dead, and then posting it everywhere, without looking up if it was true or not. News usually means that it is factual, unless were talking about Fox News.

      For those of you that don't own a Cobra USB. Cobra USB already allows you to install multiman, and many other packages. I've yet to come across one package that didn't work. So whatever this was supposed to do was created out of misinformation anyways.

      This article should be taken down or revised given the fact that after using this firmware, you can no longer use your dongle. You have to go back to OFW and then to Cobra CFW again. That is a bad thing in my opinion.

      You can install and use multiMAN with the original cobra 3.55 FW+Dongle, but Hermes BDEMU does not work(no split files games work on external). But Cobra USB has a working workaround for these games on external USB, with no 4GB+ file caching to internal HDD(saves precious internal HDD space)
