  • Hermes CFW 1.01 Payload v4C + Source Code Released

    Today, Hermes, has updated his 3.41 CFW's payload to version 4c. He was not exactly clear on what is improved in this new payload. However, we would venture to guess that it brings better stability and/or bug fixes.

      Is there any benefit to using this CFW over a jailbreak dongle besides the whole startup thing? Cause if there isn't why use this over the other firmwares available that are on 3.55 are able to do everything and games jsut work without having to mess with the eboot. Also there is no PSN access.

      I know, this is a stupid question, but can I use the new "payload" under a 3.55 cfw? I mean, it says 3.41 :x but yeah maybe it works under 3.55? xD Sorry for the stupid question, I'm just currious :s

      Okay, I'm also curious if this payload package works for 3.55. And can I set it to be used with MultiMAN 1.13.0 OR 1.13.4?

      Oh alright I get it so its just an offset until they get all the kinks worked out of 3.55, sorry I haven't been on any CFW or jailbreak in a while. I'm just using OFW until I know sony's banning strategy and whatnot.

      In your case it is necessary to update the console, after switching PS3 in a Recovery Mode.
      (I had a same situation)

      Tried to install it on CECHG01 (40GB), and got the "latest version already installed" message.

      Tried to access the recovery/service menu, but no go.
      I've watched numerous tutorials and looked everywhere, but my system just doesn't do 2 beeps. It does 3 beeps instead.

      I have no disc in the tray, and no USB devices attached.
      I've tried with and without hard powering off (switch in back).
      I've tried with controller shutdown and with power button held.
      I've tried numerous timings on the first shutdown (with powerbutton held) on when to release and press it again.

      I always get this while holding the power button
      System powers on: 1 beep
      A little later (I think when the startup logo appears): 3 beeps
      Shortly after the regular PS3 menu appears: 1 beep
      system starts powering down.

      I've sometimes had it to give me 2x 3 little beeps, but never any recovery menu on screen.

      Not sure whats up... Is there something different on the 40GB CECHG01 with 3.41 firmware?

      Is there another way to get to the menu, what if I pull out the current HD and put an empty HD in?
      Is there a way to trigger the recovery menu in JB mode?


      ps. What I do notice in all the videos on youtube on how to access the recovery menu, is that when they press the power button to shut down the system, it takes a few seconds, and then the green light goes red. Mine doesn't do this, mine blinks green first a few times (like 6 or so), and then turns red. And if I don't release the power button at the exact correct time, the system turns on again (1 beep) as soon as the green light turns red. Making it very hard to release the power button when the light turns red.

      BEING THAT PS3UPDAT.PUP 3.41 v2 IS (EU) AND MY SYSTEM IS (US) DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE CAUSE I DON'T SEE ANY VERSIONS OF 3.41 v2 (US) SO IS IT SAFE TO PATCH PS3UPDAT.PUP 3.41 v2 (EU) AND USE TO MAKE THE CFW

      FOUND OUT THAT ALL UPDATES ARE REGION FREE BUT HAD THE PROBLEM WITH IT SAYING THERE IS NO NEED TO UPDATE SO IM GONNA GIVE IT A GO AND GO DO IT THROUGH SAFE MODE HOPE IT WORKS THIS TIME. I INSTALLED THE PKG AND AND RAN IT AND SAYS PAYLOAD IS RESDIENT BUT MULTIMAN DOESNT LOAD GAMES I GET A SCREEN THAT SAYS multiman cannot detect any resident payload. Functionality may be restricted."
