Whatever happened to searches and browsing? I'm lobbying to get a proper "FAQs and Tutorials" subforum in the PS3 forums... that might solve some of this mess, but honestly, this sort of thread just clutters up the site and makes it harder to find good information for people that need it.

Final word: NO BRICKS WITH KMEAW.

It's not that it's Lv1 patching - that it potentially MORE dangerous than Lv2 patching - but the fact that it's only ONE BYTE, it doesn't shift chunks around the flash, which was the problem with Waninkoko's - not the patching, but that stuff god shifted around in position and threw the metldr section out of whack, trashing that - though Waninkoko did NOTHING to patch the metldr section.

That's why Hermes' CFW emulates what kmeaw did, only for the 3.41 FW. Minimal patching, just enough to unlock it so apps can finish the job running off of the XMB.

Can a mod close this thread?
I've been informed by the "big guys" that the forums are going to have a full revamp. Everything is going to be broken down into sub-forums based on the topic at hand. There will also be a newbies corner where the mods can move all these assinine posts that are posted at least 20 times a day. So, yay!!!! for that
