A video has been circulating through various Chinese console hacking forums, showing what appears to be homebrew/backups running on 3.50 firmware. The video first displays the system information, showing 3.50 firmware. Then the video shows the system running Gaia Manager, and a Call of Duty 3 backup.

Update: It's looking more and more like this simply uses the 3.50 spoof and is not a solution for 3.50 users.

Some sites are reporting this is merely the 3.50 version spoof payload. However, some of the Chinese forums that showcase this video are claiming, "Great news" E3 electronic dongle has broken 3.50 system." "100% real" This could be something lost in translation. You be the judge.

According to the video description it is using a new jailbreak device, called the E3 Card Reader. A USB stick that looks similar to an iPod shuffle.

Some Google searches yielded the following websites, which appear to be the official websites for the device.

http://e3card-china.com/

Browsing these sites, they don't seem to make any mention of 3.50 compatibility. However, they do say their device has more features than what are listed, and they plan to unveil them in the near future.

Please consider this as just a rumor, as there is still not enough evidence to determine it's legitimacy and it could go either way.

FEATURES:
1: 32bit processor with 128K flash， has strong processing rate and high expand space.

2: MicroSD SDHC supported, can load software and game from it .

5: Super-Drag-Plug upgrade mode,just copy BIN file and paste into e3 card, 1 second fininsh upgrading, no need any extra upgrader.

6: dual firmware booting mode, this means hermes v4b and kakaroto latest firmware integrated into one code, and you can use any of them by yourself , no need re-flash code.

7：e3 card reader has CE, FCC and RoHS certifiaction , it is more safer and environmental.

If you go to the download section of the http://e3card-eu.com/ it says this.

e3fw-HermesV4b+Kakaroto 2 in 1 for 3.41fw
e3fw-3.01-3.10-3.15fw

It's not for 3.50 at all, it's spoofing it like all the versions we currently have.

Maybe you should check it out properly next time?

Yes, this likely proves it is nothing new at all. Either a flat-out false claim, or likely poor translation/wording.

If there's one thing we should of learned by now is to never trust random Chinese people over the internet. They'll do anything for money.

in the E3's web, no one word that say about jailbreak on 3.50???
