We reported a firmware 4.0 mod by a developer name ps3hen here. Today he has released an updated version of his mod, namely PS3 4.0 Hybrid Firmware. In this second release he has added debug XMB items, the removal of the PS Plus item and cinavia removal. Please note that this requires you to be on custom firmware 3.55 and below, also a hardware flasher is required.

To Quote:

Following up on the previous update of my PS3 4.00 Dev_Flash mod, today I've released version 2 of my PS3 4.00 HFW (Hybrid Firmware).

Remember only retail signed .pkg can be installed with this. Have fun. THIS HFW WILL NOT ALLOW HOMEBREW!

An important message for users upgrading from a QA Flagged console: If this console is updated to my 4.00HFW from a QA Flagged console, it will not be able to access the extra System Settings provided by QA Flagging. However all settings made with the QA Debug Settings will remain, EXCEPT "System Debug Update".

Extra Credits: This HFW uses the "XMB File Manager" by DeViL303 which is a modification of Team Rebug's "Packages Manager".

Changelog v2:

Adds "Debug XMB Items" to the XMB Column "PlayStation Network" (contains the Debug items found in this column, originally for DEX)
Removes the useless "PlayStation Plus" XMB item from the XMB Column "PlayStation Network"
Disables Cinavia DRM on all media except Blue-ray.

Installation:

Be on a firmware 3.55 or less
Install the .pup through the XMB (Make sure you have a working hardware flasher as there is no other way to downgrade)

Download: PS3 4.0 Hybrid Firmware v2

NO Homebrew, NO cinavia disabled from Blu-Ray

Sounds like a Sony update, it only does nothing.

It is firmware 4.00, so it will play every game. I guess that you're thinking more of backup managers though, and that probably wont work.

Sony has added many things to the PS3 during the years.

Quit bitching? Until it can install "unsigned" packages it's of no use whatsoever, as quite simply its a "home brew enabler" that can't install home brew. Utterly pointless.

Now, you add this ability, add peek and poke, compile it a bit more, so we can just update from 3.55 to this CFW and then it'd be worth actually releasing it.

This'll be great for homebrew on 4.00 if we get the keys for it.

So... this hybrid firmware doesn't allow you to do anything but install signed packages.

just like official firmware.

Awesome. So you released official firmware. YOU ARE A MIGHTY L33T HAX0R!!

I would not thank someone who fixed my car but only did half the job.

I don't thank people who release useless stuff.
