Waninkoko CFW - Nice try, but not ready for prime time yet...

[Saner]

At this stage if "backup" managers are all you care about stay on 3.41 with a dongle.

But please, PLEASE, if you care about your PS3 dont install this PUP.

[chesh]

So at this stage its probably best to install wutangrza that covers LV1 and wait for a BM mamanger that will work on 3.55 that will poke into memory lv2...think ive got it correct...still working on the lingo ETC

Your terminology is perfect Not too bad for a newb Anyway, kidding aside, yeah, that's the safest method currently. Either stay on 3.41, deal with the headaches of Geohot 3.55 CFW, or wait until BM support is completed on the fluke's/Wutangrza CFW.

Thanks for that Chesh, your advice will be taken on board and ill sit tight for now before making any changes to my beloved PS3...

Wutangrza's implementation of the flukes1 patch is spot on as far as I can tell (haven't installed it yet, but I don't really have a need for it). It should work just like the dongles (i.e., if you don't load something special to peek/poke memory, it'll act just like an OFW). Doing it in memory also helps because you won't have to reflash the firmware if someone were to develop a better payload. I don't think that waninkoko's approach will ever work right, no matter what he does.

I think I'm just gonna stick with 3.41 forever. 3.41 is like the perfect woman. It never does you wrong, and always makes the best sandwiches.

3.55 is like a hooker that offers to do some stuff that 3.41 doesn't do, but if you go to her, you will lose all the nice sandwiches that 3.41 makes.

Like I said before (see above), 3.55 may entice you with promises of some freaky-deaky stuff, but you have a high chance of catching a disease on your dongle.

all we need is an pkg to poke payload into memory and wutangrzy's cfw will be the best option

Lol damn geohot may be a bit high on life but he said never to mess with lv2. I think this recent round of bricks is proof of that. Props to waninko for even trying to do something, but the best way to release a custom firmware on the PS3 tailored for 3.55 is testing with a NOR flasher. That way you can get a ton of people to test it, and if it bricks you can reflash. I'd wait a good few months before touching anything higher then a simple edit like geohot's method. The two best bets are flukes1 and geohot atm.

Again no disrespect to waninko but I'm glad I slept in because of a bad night. I was anticipating this release and I'm glad I waited.

Be patient fellas, good stuff comes to those who wait.

XMB halting, errors with backups because of PL3...

XMB halting 6 times in 10mins....

we need Waninkoko hermes v4b CFW!!!!!!!

[kingcombo]

I CAN CONFIRM THIS WORKS ON MY 160gb SLIM.

[fouad]

Works great here, no problems at all..
played backups with multiman and everything goes fine

though is still hope the updated BM will work with waninko's fw,
because i think i will stay on it
