PS3 CFW ZEROMX PS3MFW PS3 Modified Firmware 3.55 Arrives

It may be something to do with the firmware you are using. Some things don't work the same on 3.41 as 3.55. Maybe try the new hermes bum that was released for 3.41. I think I remember it said it has ftp build in it now. Would be easy enough to try it and see how it goes.

You must open dev_blind folder not dev_flash when you want to copy back.

that's what i'm trying too.. also tried blackbox. I'm on Hermes CFW 3.41

Not sure. What ftp on ps3 side you use? I use filezilla with multiman.

I tried using dev_blind but i am still getting a permission error in filezilla when i try to copy the xml back. what am i doing wrong?

I used dev_blind. You can add to areas also. This attached file is my psn area now with install pkg under it.
