147w ago - A few days back the PS JailBreak folks
warned buyers about less expensive clone PS3 modchips, including the
x3JailBreak and the
PS3Key USB modchip, and today they sent out a wave of warning e-mails to those who pre-ordered the device not to update their PS3 Firmware beyond version 3.41 until it is confirmed safe to do so.
TQCast.com (linked above) confirms receiving one of these such e-mails, and reports it as containing the following notice, to quote:
"Just a friendly update email and some advice for you over the coming days and weeks.
While PS Jailbreak team have told us it should be possible to support future firmware versions on the PS3, it's is not guaranteed, they will need to access any newer firmwares than 3.41 and if needed release an update for the PS Jailbreak to support the newer firmwares.
So we wanted to give you all some advice that if a system update is released for the PS3 in the coming days or before you receive your PS Jailbreak which blocks system updates, we recommend that nobody update their PS3 for the time being.
If a PS3 system update newer than 3.41 is released you should keep an eye on the PS Jailbreak website for news on compatibility with the PS Jailbreak on the new firmware's. Only update your PS3 past 3.41 firmware if the PS Jailbreak team say that it's safe to do."
While this message seems like common sense to PS3 sceners, those new who pre-ordered a PS JailBreak chip and are not familiar with Sony's battle against piracy on the PSP may wish to take notice.
Sorry for my English use google translator does not speak English, you can use this on CFW 4.30 R-DEX "REBUG"?...
I think he means it's been 4 years before we've been able to run backups on the PS3. On retail units anyway.
I wish there was a permanent hack but it probably won't be available until they release the "PS5" which the ps3 will be obsolete.
What I love most in all this situation, is the FORTUNE TELLERS that tell me the future for free on the internet.
It's awesome. It's matter of time, in any forum, someone comes and PLU, tell what will happen 100% accurate. Marvelous...
What are you talking about? O_o 4 years ago? Prooflink, please!
oh god i'm still pissed - even with the psjailbreak out i'm STILL RAGED.
The decision he made to not release the Custom Firmware was an absolutely brilliant one I think. If he had release 3.21 CFW it would have been immediately patched, and it would prevent us from doing future CFW when it really matters.
I won't delve into any details, but 99% certain I know how GeoHot went about making the custom firmware, and a patch is simple and effective.
Now that we have unsigned code ability, much more superior CFW can be obtained, and that option is easily available to us because GeoHot didn't spill the beans.
3.42 CFW is almost a guaranteed release if you ask me.
that is for now the question. let's see..
