PSP Firmware updateWe don't really know what's the deal with Sony lately, but it seems like they're trying to release firmware updates almost every week. We really wouldn't mind that, if it wasn't for the changes or rather, the lack of them in every update. Just like the last one, the new firmware 3.02 offers nothing but "Security updates". What's funny is that no actual exploits have been found.

I can think of a reason though. With the recent addition of PSP-PS3 interconnectivity, it's only natural that there might be a few bugs in the interconnectivity which could result in PS3 hacks, or vice-versa. But then again, I haven't mentioned something yet - It works in Devhook! Yes, that's right, the newest firmware being released a couple of weeks after the previous one being decrypted can be decrypted and emulated through Devhook.

With the flurry of updates, I can guess that once the PS3 reaches the right people, it will again be beneficial to have a lower firmware..Who knows what security updates are in the latest version. As always, this firmware will not support homebrew. Please do not upgrade to 3.02 in the hopes of it being hacked in the near future. Finally, for anyone who wants to tinker with it, or use it in Devhook, here's the file. For the record, the instructions to use it in Devhook are the same as the previous version which you can check out below. A big thanks to x3sphere/zshadow for the heads-up; you rock dude!

I think he meant that devhook works on 2.71 with HEN-D. It is after all a 2.71 program.

how do u install this? do u make a new folder in DH called 302 or just put it in 301


   Re: maybe... (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » my guess

I was thinking this as well, I'm guessing you would dump the firmware, then put the F0 folder in the 301 folder in dh and then it could work( because there isn't a 3.02 option in devhook :0)

   Re: smokedog - 2006-12-06
 » the way I used it on my psp

edit the ms0:/dh/05beta/menu/menu_fw.txt
and add
--------
!firmware 3.02(MS or flash+MS)
REBOOT_PATH+"flash0:/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f0;ms0:/dh/05"
BTCNF_PATH+"/kd/pspcnf_tbl_dh.txt"
FLASH0+"/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f0"
FLASH1+"/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f1"
-------
then place your 302 files in a folder called /dh/302 as you would for /dh/301...I copied the virgin 301 folder to make a 302 and then placed the f0 files from psardumper in there and it worked flawlessly. As such you should be able to just place it in the 301 folder provided its a virgin folder and use it as is I don't see why it wouldn't work however the menu will say 3.01 but the firmware should load and say 3.02. hope it works for you.

It really seems like Sony really doesn't know what they're doing. They don't know what games we want (you can tell by the way they're pushing a horrible game like Gangs of London), to featureless updates and just more security patches that don't even patch anything. If it wasn't for the quality games finally coming out for PSP the past few months I would have abandoned PSP long ago. Sony needs to evaluate what the handheld crowd wants and give it to us.

 » IT WORKS!!

yah that guys right, all you hafta do is jus put 3.02 in folder 301 jus switch the F0 folder, thats it, then u get it to run, im running 3.02 on my PSP right now, theres no big difference except for when you go to security settings, theres 3 options, im not sure if this was on 3.01 because i didnt check but hte options are CHANGE PASSWORD, PARENTAL CONTROL LEVEL, AND INTERNET BROWSER START CONTROL. yeh, thoz are jus the UPDATES for this, even if its a JAPANESE UPDATE, its still in english.


   Re: jrfhoutx - 2006-12-05

Those security options are all in 3.01, all this update does is patch exploits or holes in the previous firmware, it didn't add any functions.

what is happening to psp scene lately? the tension of booster's dh 0.51 is still at peek, then came the easy installer for 0.51 and then this? wo...what is sony thinking about? the sequence for 3.00, 3.01 and 3.02 releases are way too fast! are there too many bugs in ps3-psp interconnectivity? however this can be emulated with the latest devhook right? I was just going to use the easy installer on my psp but I found this! hmm...may be I should wait a little longer to see wheather there will come another big updates for dh or from sony's side!

 » Firmware 3.02 Installer

I hexedited the 3.01 firmware installer to install the 3.02 firmware. It installs the 3.02 firmware to the 3.01. I can confirm this works because I just did it. Here is the file:

   Re: MrActionGrant - 2006-12-06
 » Confirmed

I can confirm that his file works, I did it. Unfortunately, if you rename the "301" folder to "302" and replace your 301 folder with the actual 3.01 dump, devhook will not recognize the "302" folder.

Gwa hahahahaha

So, what do you guys think, devhook every single new firmware sony comes out with from now on?? Finally a way to get what we all want!!! Ability to pay ( YES SONY, PAY ) for new games that we may want to play, and still have access to homebrew.

How many of you stopped buying new games iin order to play homebrew???? I know I did, and now imagine if they embraced homebrew!

Then people would still continue to not pay for games.

   Re: smokedog - 2006-12-06
 » yes you have to flash the flash1 files

yes you need to flash the devhook flash1 for it to work otherwise you get a rotating BSOD that screws up your real flash1 (atleas for my 2.71SE-C it did) I made a mistake of removing my 301 flash1 files and forgot to flash the 302 flash1 and it BSOD and I had to reset my SE-C flash1 from a backup. Glad I had a dump still :)

Why do people always seem so disrespectful? YOU WANT THE DAMN DOWNGRADER, CODE IT YOURSELF. Dark_AleX has lost two close family members. Obviously you haven't lost any. Maybe they you'd understand how much it hurts. Ever had a family member die suddenly? That happened to my dad last April. Rare heart condition he never knew he had. Just dropped dead on his bike one evening. I'm still getting over the shock. And Dark_AleX is probably still in the disbelief stage (0-4 weeks). So quit your adolescent whining and stop spamming the comments with your cruel selfishness.

Because downgrades are incredibly complicated pieces of homebrew with some of the highest chances of bricking when run, so even if they're working on one, it takes a lot of time to get it right
