From their
Twitter: "If you've had issues with Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD, download the optional PS3 software update (v.4.31)"
From
afiser on the PS3 Keys posted above: This is as simple as putting the bootldr keys (what you all call the lv0 keys released
last week) in the scetool data/keys file and running scetool.exe -d lv0 lv0.elf
From
zadow28: Found some interesting, when debugging lv1.elf from 4.31:

Only shows when debugging.. well thats where i'm at so far regards.
Dumps/Debug off core_os/Devflash files. 4.++
Have done some experimenting. Found out that you can actuelly run the self/sprx (ppc)
From core_os, and Devflash.. from "official" debugger,and dump them. You have to set up an fake Param.sfo, so the debugger thinks its an executable.. but the result is quite amazing. You really get an better overview, since you can see al the files it communicates with.
I use Ida pro 64 PPC proccesser to analyze, the dump. Then use Kakarotos scrips analyze_sprx.idc. Set new TOC, when the script tell you and reanalyze.
The dump is 4mb packed but 250 mb unpacked. I'll give an more deeper, TUT when i have the time. Works on all files so far i tested PPC ones, so all expect the spu files. Tested vsh.self/mcore.self/psp_emu.self plus many more.
Well here is the dump, for BDVD.SELF: http://rghost.net/41639087
Off course you can debug all the files, and the embedded spu before dumping.
Finally, from
Team Siracide comes
PS3 DEV_Flash 4.31 with details below, as follows:

Thx bro...
I can make new (os core) to fit "update_file" with your lv1 decrypted files have tried to to use the script but I could not get the script to work (said it will work)
Dump lv1 embedded elfs Script
I did this script quickly to exctract the embedded files within lv1. This script doesn't use the file table, is ugly, but works... anyone feel free to improve it --PsiCoLeO 16:11, 22 May 2011 (CDT)
How to use it
Save the script in a file named
dump_lv1_embedded_files.sh
give it execute permissions
chmod +x dump_lv1_embedded_files.sh
feed it with decrypted lv1.self
./dump_lv1_embedded_files.sh lv1.elf
#!/bin/bash
# PsiCoLeO 2011

# Script to extract the embedded files from lv1.self
# There is no warranty that this script will work for you
# I can not be held responsable of what you do with this script or any damage you get from using it
# Use it as you please

If you could find tutorial for that would be great.
