nice to know the qj.net one is perfectly safe.
Forget about PS3News.... THEY ARE ROTTEN ***** and the only responsible for all the bricks.
"The ONLY code implemented by team M33 is one that checks to make sure that the MD5 is the correct one"
That is NOT really true. That is the main check, but also there are several some more checks, such as looking in the cache of the PSP browser for PS3NEWS visits and checking the PSP's Nickname against PS3NEWS forums most active posters.
Anyway, that's what I read at Maxconsole Forums in one post from Mathiulieh, who checked the update EBOOT thoroughly. So it must be legit.
The point still stands, the QJ one is safe.
even Mathiulieh checked and he says that this will not check he cache of the PSP browser for PS3NEWS visits!!!
ps3news.com coz this is the most lame website of all and shame on them.
Lets boycott this sh*t.
we love you qj! and m33 team for this UPDATE!!!!!!! yesterday i was mad!! now im happy for your team quick responding to everyone!! congrats!!
WaKaRu is right, there are alot of checks on the update, i attempted to rid them all but they really are pretty good developers. either way i updated and havent done it yet but the video iso update is huge. the vshmenu and easy umd dumping isnt too bad either. good ***** m33. still doesnt give them to brick your equipment but i respect everything besides that
This is a NEW and IMPROVED online way of making EASY/FREE MONEY this one has alot more features with alot more ways of making money online.. you gotta try it and see.
SWATcash - Where the checks they fire are never blank!
Great, fun site with a friendly community and nice helpful admins over there. This is a GPT site that pays via paypal or check with a minimum of $15 in earnings to request payout. 20% referral commision. Extra goodies like missions and an armory and weapon shop and alliances.
Missions: When completed all missions you get extra goodies!
Armory: Buy armor and weapons to increase your atk and defense skills so people can't steal your SWATcash (not real money- that's safe with you) and you can steal others once a day for extra swatcash.
Alliances: Out of 3 alliances, you may pick one. The highest amount in avg. earnings for each alliance, as well as infiltration points (you can attack other alliances), and referrals you get extra goodies.
You can get 2 free referrals with 25 swatcash by buying the Walkie Talkies in the armory.
That got me an extra $50 in my earnings. Also the weekly contests will get you atleast $1000 plus more if you are a lucky one

just upgraded, easy.., thank you
"Ok, I finally reversed the whole flasher. It does not check for the nicks nor the psp webbrowser cache and bookmark. The code is there but conditional while the condition can never be met. A way of saying 'We did not do it but we can if we have to.' It will only brick IF the md5 is different which is very unlikely to accidently happen"
PS3News R Sheeyt, If U Do Something Wrong They Post Ur Ip Stupid Fat Wankers
i have a 3.50 psp and i have been trying to buy lumines since the downgrader came out, i cant buy it online and i have been calling gamestop and ebgames and blockbuster daily but none have it. anyone know a place that would have it
Go to PSP-Hacks.com then go to forums. Sign up and go to BUY/Sell (at very bottom of page), Create a topic and ask to buy a copy, some should respond and attemp to sell you one, or you can search cause maybe someone is selling one.
proud to be on qjnet ^^
At least someone ended the madness...
ZOMG TEH 1ST!!!!!!111!!!!! I RULEZ!!!
shows again that you only should download from the original source =(
Team M33 That was rude to make it BRICK when the file is altered!!!
Would it not have been enough to just boot to recovery all over again or disable UMD usage or something o.O
Now i am REALY scared of your updates. what happens when a download is corupted while downloading =(
The chances of it corrupting yet still be able to run? Next to none.
it's in a rar file. therefore its contents will not corrupt.
but i could corrupt when copying to the memstick? And then? Brick! nice!"
The flasher does a md5 checksum of the entire file. If it's corrupted you can't proceed with the installation.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS DONT USE THESE IDIOTS CFW..... IF A TEAM CAN DO STUFF LIKE THAT THATS NOT SEE THROUGH FROM THE START THEN THEY CANT BE TRUSTED AND....
QJ SHOULD NOT POST ANY FURTHER M33s STUFF.
They warned you. And they have an awesome firmware and I'll keep using it. Maybe it was rude, but they told you not to, so it's your own fault. Dark Alex told you not to power off, and the idiots who did have a brick. Same story.
agreed(WeeJeWel), this a great firmware,the best out there
NOW THEY ADMIT THEIR MISTAKE, THAT HOW COOL THIS M33 TEAM IS! I LOVE THEM BACK. SO YOU BACK OFF!!!!!!!!!! GO TO HELL
HHHMMM LOOK LIKE YOU GOT BRICKED:))
u know what? dun use it then. anyway just got new over maxconsole that team WildC*rd most probably will implement this brick check on the lame website.
so the 2 most prominent cfw teams have combine their effort to fight the lame website. if u dun wanna use m33, i guess u have no where to go too coz team WildC*rd will do the same.
Dark_AleX has infact supporting this idea.
what r u waiting 4. hurry up n update to official fw dude. tat will make u satisfied. : )
who has said he would've done this with OE if he had thought of it.
You freaking retard. M33 is the best PSP team ever. They learn from mistakes and improve. So you may shut the ***** up. What a moron. Cant believe someone tries to stop PSP scene by making those nonsense, stupid comments.
This only checks the integrity of the EBOOT, not your browser cache.
Downloading it from QJ or MaxCon is absolutely safe.
m33-3 MD5
B20E264B1E2042BE87EE361FE9DD8EBF
the one with this MD5 works
what if a corruption happens while copying the update-files to the psp (due to a faulty memstick f.e.)? It will install and brick...dont like that thought...MD5 checks should be safety-measures and not brick-deciders!
A message like "u got an edited eboot - installation will not continue" would have bee more than sufficient. but intetionally bricking a device is sabotage...
m33, this is baby-like behaviour and it doesnt suit you at all!. no matter what ppl say about should've read the readme. this is inacceptable.
unacceptable... and yea i agree.
you can compute MD5 from your memory stick copy and compare it to the one you downloaded... if M33 would say the correct MD5, everuthing would be fine
although it lets a couple people without computer knowledge (Total Commander can compute MD5 with Files->Create CRC Checksums and add MD5 checkbox) with bricked PSP
M33 are doing this in their free time, the only thing they get is fame and if someone tries to steal it... well, I understand why they've done the way they did
don't like the way they do things well use 3.40 LE and shut up
stfu lamer,
m33 sux ***** and are unproffesional, if they have trouble with some site, why caus bricks ? why dont give a warning or just a recovery menu..
lot of people are victem without knowing anything...
Souleater, you, dear sir, are an idiot. If you were one of the unlucky ones, I bet you'd be crying your ass off right now and cussing. As for me I usually wait a few days or weeks to see there is no problem with a particular download, before using it.
So I'm happy about that. But for those unlucky enough, I agree that m33 should not have taken these sort of actions. It was childish and shows a lack of brain power or common sense. The hell with them knowing how to program, the fact remains that they thoroughly didn't think this through, which makes me feel like these are indeed children writing the programs.
Know how many people would have bricked their psp? know how many will ever be able to get a psp to run a cfw? Exactly, so stfu and think about all of that before you tell anyone to shut up.
could u plz calm down and talk in a normal way? is that possible? someone has another opinion and you want to shut them up? thats childish of you.
Better answer the question above! Did you read it? then plz answer
Normal way? You mean grammatical correct English? Get off the Internet.
seriously guys - how are you? cant be much older than 14, maybe 15...
...all you no-matter-what-m33-lovers, well, i feel u deserve to brick. Maybe then will understand what the others said to you when u wouldnt listen...
"Normal way? You mean grammatical correct English? Get off the Internet."
You mean GRAMMATICALLY correct English? Get off the planet.
- U
didnt you read the license, readme, or what came on the screen before the update? oh? no? oh well...
M33 FTW!!! Shake the lamers off!!!
It DOES NOT check the browser cache. The *ONLY* check is the checksum.
Don't believe me? Use a hex editor and search the update EBOOT for the word 'browser.'
It only shows up once - in the sentence "In this last case,andonly in this one, the problem may be fixed if you delete *browser* cache of both, psp and computer systems, and you stop visiting the site.".
Here's a complete list of the files mentioned in the update; some are actually accessed/written and others just have their name put into another file:
ms0:/PSP/GAME/BOOT/EBOOT.PBP
ms0:/seplugins/conf.bin
ms0:/seplugins/vsh.txt
ms0:/seplugins/game.txt
ms0:/seplugins/pops.txt
ms0:/seplugins/game150.txt
Nothing about the browser.
Stop the misinformation.
Better safe than sorry. +P
better informed properly than lied to.
Better me than you.
I can see Team M33s point, but why on earth want they psps to brick? Just coz the didnt know better? and who with a real life did know that 'criminal sites' refers to p3news??... now users pay for p3news' attitude and m33s way of handling things...you punish the wrong people...
Guys this is ridiculous, there are various people at fault here.
First of all: M33: For scaring peopleby saying things like this will brick if you visited a certain criminal site. I know a friend who has no idea on this controversial issue and uses ps3 news only for psp downloads. Unfortunately he ended up with a brick. I am not from ps3 news i am a straigh QJ reader, im not being gay and spreading ***** about things getting bricked and scaring people.
Ps3news: For tampering with te software and distributing it on such a large scale. If it were a PC virus it could be fixed, but an attack on a closed console will render expensive equipment useles. As well as this they are "reportedly" sending people out to major forums like the ones on QJ and other Psp hack sites false brick stories. I don;t know if this is true but this may phsychologically alter someone into thinking this if they are rerading something
