Same thing as johnq.. I've installed the patched pup CFW 3.41 successfully but nothing happened couldnt find the "Hermes - Payload 4" application under "Games". My model is CECHE06 (80gb FAT, ASIA).
Can't connect to PSN, I meant to say that everything was working 100% as it was before, with the dongle.
For the last 2 guys: You need to install the hermes v4 under "install packages".. once.
Then every time you start up (whether it be hard or soft boot) you will need to run the hermes program under games.
It's nice not having to hard power the PS3 anymore too, especially with the slim.
MultiMAN 1.13.04
HERMES v4b CFW for 3.41
v4b patcher
CECH-2101B (slim 250gb) (very easy, very stable)
From OFW 3.41 to CFW HERMES 3.41
I used the pre-patched file found in the first post and everything is working flawlessly. No crashing, no nothing. Very clean install from regular update on the XMB choosing to install from storage devise instead of network. All PSN games working, all pre-patched eboot games working from external and internal as if nothing had changed. Very happy I installed HERMES, very happy I didn't try others.
You have to install the payload different from the custom firmware. Here is the payload to install. Install it and under where the game managers are there will be the hermes payload you have to load each time in order to use the managers. Thanks.
