previous leak, this weekend the Sony PS3 Debug / Test Firmware 4.10 update has surfaced for both PlayStation 3 collectors and developers from an anonymous source.

PS3 Debug / Test Firmware 4.10
As always, keep in mind 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)
If it was that easy we would have released a FULL cex2dex already. But it is more then just installing a debug.pup on a retail console.
The lv2_kernel.self will not run without some additional patches to the whole sys. Not to patch the kernel it self.
If so then instead of trying to make a CFW why not just try to convert this firmware to run on a retail console? Wouldn't that be the smarter and easier way to go?
There must be a flag or something stopping this firmware from installing. We just need to change that.
Finally my nor flasher is being posted to me in the mail. And I've made my first build for a 4.10 HFW but no way to test it until my flasher arrives. FYI I'm going to look into using the debug VSH.self again, after thinking it over and reading specific claims, I realised, some *people* (don't worry arktos I'm not talking about you) had either intentionally or unintentionally posted wrong info about the debug VSH.self which put me off trying to find a way to implement it in 4.00.
I have an idea where to start for 4.10, but I will know for sure when I get my nor flasher. I did make some progress with using the debug vsh.self in 4.00. It boots and loads application, but it crashes when trying to quit an application. Hey technodon if your interested in my debug vsh 4.00 progress PM me.
