I have been away from this board and the PSP 3000 news for well over a year now and was wondering if there have been any new custom firmwares for the PSP since 5.03 GEN C, and if so what is the newest or the best CFW for PSP 3000's
Lately, there have been kernel exploits on every firmware from 6.20 to 6.36. These were patched in 6.37. The best one so far would be Total_Noob's 6.20 TN-C Hen. It has a good VSH menue and plugin support. It currently supports all homebrew. The only thing that sepperates it from a custom firmware is the fact that he didnt put iso support built in. Although you can get an iso loader to do it for you (not from the XMB).
Overall, 5.03 GEN-C has better ISO compatability when used with prometheus-4.
I would stay right were you are at.. Maybe keep an eye out on psp-hacks.com for the release of a cfw for TN's homebrew enabler.

There haven't been kernel exploits, the exploits are user-mode only. A kernel exploit would mean a real permanent CFW, which still doesn't exist for some 2000 models and all 3000 and Go. The most important difference between 5.03 GEN-C and 6.20 TN-C is that the 6.20 TN-C is signed, meaning if you shut your PSP down you don't need to go through any exploit anymore, all you got to do is start it right from XMB.
Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

Incorrect. The exploits ARE kernel-mode, indicated by the fact that you can run homebrew which requires kernel-mode.
The reason there's no CFW installation for later systems is because the pre-IPL checks were upgraded.
If the pre-IPL is found to be incorrect, the system will not boot. So with these exploits we CAN install a CFW, however the system will not boot afterwards, which rather defeats the purpose, and is why none of the current tools will attempt to install on it.
Also the current 6.x HENs do not have proper POPS loading (PS1/PSX games). There is an emulator for it, but as it has not been maintained in years (it was dropped when official PS1/PSX loading was discovered) it's a far cry away from what can be done on 5.00/5.50 CFWs.
