I feel sorry for the people who jumped on this and got bricked. Waninkoko should have done a lot more testing, but I think he was trying to answer the scenes constant begging for "good custom firmware". I'm sure ego played it's part in this, as well.Mathieulh, however, is just pointing and laughing. Reading his comments... does he really have any room to comment on geohots ego issues?
Yeah I think its kinda messed up how he kinda bashed waninkoko there a bit. He is a wii scene guy not ps3 but people respected him from that scene and thought it would be an easy choice to use his firmware without any problems. Rather than just pointing out waninkoko did wrong mathieulh was making fun of the guy and the people who bricked their devices.

Most of the people who actually did the procedure correctly didnt brick. It was the people who flew to conclusions and started flashing w/o going back to 3.55 OFW. Thats their fault. There was kids who flashed with the CFW straight from 3.41!!! HAHAHAA
You fail to read, prepare to bleed!

I am tempted to see what happens to my ps3, but as I said the sensible thing to do is let others who are willing to take the risk (and the impatient) to try new projects first and then decide if you want to do it yourself.
So thanks to all the new "testers" we conclude that this only work on consoles with 16mb nand. There is a list being made so you can check how many others with the same model have flashed successfully. But also note this still disables bluray playback, so if you watch bluray movies then installing this is a definite no.
Even with this info I'd still be cautious as you never know what may happen.

Okay so basically if you use the OFW you have to put up with Sony adding and removing features. If you use a CFW you still may end up loosing features or bricking your system.
Basically its a damned if you do damned if you don't kinda situation. LOL

The difference being that CFWs are quickly adding features, and OFWs just remove them. Plus, it isn't like OFWs have never bricked systems.
It has only been a matter of days since we saw the first real CFWs...and to call them "real CFWs" isn't even accurate...they are just hacked OFWs. If you are not involved with development, stick with 3.41 for about a month and then the CFWs should be something to behold. Yes, backups do work on 3.55...but it is a pain in the *** to get them to work, and far too difficult to make the patches work. Stick with 3.41 until there are real backup managers on 3.55; or at least an on-system app for ripping, hacking, and installing games right from the BD drive...it won't be long.

I agree with Killerbug, these are the first cfw (or modified ofw) out there, therefore you should really think of these more like alpha projects. So we've had people test the alpha version and we've seen a few bumps. So now we wait a couple more weeks to see what the next wave of beta releases will be like, and then a couple weeks after that more stable and compatible cfw will be out and we should expect them to install without any problems and add more features to the console.
though sometimes things dont go exactly as planned, and may take longer.

If you have a 256 meg NAND this will BRICK your PS3. Only the ones with a 16 meg nand are safe to update to Waninkoko's cfw but even then it seems kind of iffy. I believe models CECHA - CHECG
From everything I have read, I would wait a few days until a backup manager is complied for Wutangrza's cfw and flash that one.

Well spotted, meant to say "does not work on 256mb nand"
And to add someone has created an app to allow backup mangers to run on Wutangrza's cfw, see other thread I have made.

So the most efficient compatability with playing backups lie still in 3.41 with the dongles? How come theyre a pain in the arse to play on 3.55? Just wondering. ;D

I posted that a whole two days ago...a lot has changed since then. Now we have Kmeaw CFW, an updated Rogero Manager, and a permissions fixer app. I now have 3.55 on both of my PS3s...I am going to keep using OFW for online because I don't want my account nuked...but offline games are running on CFW only.

Yea i know, in just two days the news just poured in on this scene. i love it! Shows progress. Anyways, with these CFW's FTP'ing is off-limits right? Also, what is that permissions fixer app?

Yea cuz the thing is, i was hearing a whole bunch of people crying about how ftp wasnt working for them once they used these new cfw's. Loserrrrss. lol Do you use Blackbox? Or the PS3ftp? I wanna try out Little Big Planet just as my jumpoff to the whole scene. I wanna ftp it from my pc.
This .pkg i install after ive placed Kmeaw CFW or before. Or do i just use this file as the CFW?
Thanks for teh link.

That is a tough question...we are reasonably sure that Sony can detect that you have used a backup manager even without logging in, and 100% sure that they can detect it if you log in. That said, no bans have come down yet, so we don't know what kinds of bans (if any) there will be. It is theoretically possible that sony might figure out a way to ban a PS3, and not just the PSN account...but I think we will see firmware hacks to reverse this if sony takes such a route.
If you have a game that needs the PSN, I would just create another login name for the PS3 and a new PSN account for that name.
As for installation, just follow the order of that link I posted...OFW 3.55, Kmeaw 3.55, Rogero Manager (the new stealth version), Blackb0x FTP, and the permissions fixer app. Transfer your games via FTP, then run the permissions fixer app, then Rogero Manager. Start your game(s) and allow them to download the needed patches and to do their "install" routine. Once "installed", close the game and start the next game. Repeat until you have done this with all games (or until you decide you will finish it later), then run the permissions fixer app, turn off the PS3, turn it back on, and use Rogero to start your game. Every time you go through the install process for a new game, run the permissions fixer app again...not sure if you have to do a full shutdown every time, but I do it anyway.

I am using Rogero 7.9a Stealth. You still have to use a LVL2 program first, or it will freeze so hard that you have to turn the system off from the back.
BTW...there was a new LVL2 app released yesterday; have not tested it yet, but it sounds like it fixes a few of the issues some people (not me) were having:

Thanks bud! Hey, btw into what directory do you pass your games into with Rogero 7.9? Mine arent showing up on Rogero 7.9a? It has me baffled, for real.
