PS3 Debug / Test Firmware 4.01 (Mirror: SCEA / SC3APR)
To quote, roughly translated: "Very soon after its released version 4.00 debug Sony decides to release a Firmware 4.01 for stamped its consoles Test / Debug. We remind you that this type of firmware is not installed on the consoles so-called "Retail" we just buy in the store.
No changelog available at this time. See us before long a 4.01 in our living room, only time will tell. The file is available for download if you want to update your console to Test / Debug."
As always, these PUP updates will currently NOT install on a retail PS3, and so they are intended for examination and comparison purposes only.
We have 100% confirmed that running this updater on a retail PS3 will not damage it, however, it will give the following error before the installation completes: The data type is not supported. (8002F029)

SWAPMOD for PS3 Debug / Test Consoles (Mirror)
I decided to share my work. Let's started.. Pendrive SWAP Mod it's like .tiff exploit. It hangs a system when you run a game, then u can swap a PS1/PS2 Game on Retail. But on Debug Unit PS3 Game recorded to BR!
Intructions to run a PS1/PS2 Backup RETAIL/DEBUG CONSOLE ONLY:
1. Format your pendrive to fat32.
2. Run SWAPMOD.exe and install it to your pendrive.
3. Run the PlayStation 3.
4. Insert original CD/DVD PS1/PS2*.
5. Insert pendrive to PS3 USB.
6. Go to category photos on PS3.
7. Get in on visible device (your pendrive).
8. Wait a one minute on that, or long.
9. Run the original game from XMB, system will hang on your wallpaper. (BlackScreen = fail, repeat the operations)
10. Slide the original game and insert a pirate/backup game.
- if you running PS2 game, insert backup/pirate game from PS2.
- if you running PS1 game, insert backup/pirate game from PS1.
11. Remove a pendrive.
12. Now if you swapped a discs, PS3 will run the backup/pirate game.
*You can run PS2 games if your Unit have a compatible. Exploit still works on OFW 4.00
Intructions to run a PS3 Backup DEBUG CONSOLE ONLY:
1. Go to Debug Seetings
2. Search a NPDRM Debug option - set No Entitlement (80029513)
3. So now u just must do same things, they are listed above. But you swpp now a original PS3 game with pirate/backup game.
Note: BACKUP GAMES FOR PS3 MUST BE RECORDED ON BLURAY DISC.! OR IT WONT WORK
Tested on OFW Debug 4.01

When the Change_IDPS is functioning properly, the LED will switch on the console from the usual green color to YELLOW
A big thanks to the Team Rebug, the Three Musketeers, PS3 Dev Wiki, Graf_Chokolo, EUSS, naehrwert and especially Rancid (o) who created / the entire project.
Update: From Rancid-o: How to use the pkg: http://www.ps3ita.it/download/homebrew/Fix_Update_4.21+.pkg
1) Run a game from Multiman
2. Returning to the XMB, if you have not already done so, start the game and download the update, at this point if the update is greater than 4.21 will give the usual error 0x80010009 and return to xmb..
3. Run Fix_Update_4.21+
4. Start the game again
Note: The fix for that game is permanent. If you have already downloaded the update just run the game from multiMAN, back to the XMB, run the pkg and run the game. Sorry for the bad English, oh forgot works on all cfw 4.xx
Guys.. use version 2 of the "Change IDPS All Region": http://www.ps3ita.it/download/homebrew/Change_IDPS_All_Region_v2-4.21.pkg
The first version had a stupid "bug" that does not allow you to use the online pass purchased. Sorry for that..
