Yes guys, I'm not kidding! Remember when I said that the newest firmware required some magic on the part of Team C+D? Well, I guess it didn't take them very long to finish their work. And in this case, it was another fine piece of work- You can call it the Firmware 3.10 decrypter by the way!

So now that we have the firmware decrypted, on Day 0 no less(!), the main focus now shifts to guys like Dark_AleX, Mathieulh, Booster and the Noobz team who will be responsible for turning this firmware on its head in a few days. Great things are coming, you just wait! Anyways, here's their info in its full glory:

C+D NFO - Image 1


With that out of the way, we can now patiently wait for things like Devhook, a new custom firmware by Dark_AleX and if someone can find and exploit in the firmware, even a downgrader! OK, so the downgrader part is speculation, but I don't think you guys will have to wait long for a new version of Devhook or DAX's CFW.

Anyway, I'll stop talking now. The file has been uploaded and it also contains the source. Start decrypting your firmwares and get ready!

nice job team c+d, congratulations.
now they just need a few days and its gonna be HOOK and/or OE joyful/wonderful days once again.
THANK YOU everyone that contributed.
Sony is also secretly thanking you guys for keeping the PSP sales high enough not to be left out on the market. PSP although not as great as DS did also enjoy a very successful year of sales.

Flashing my PSP gives me the creeps


   Re: TiM (Unregistered) - 2007-01-31
 » I Agree

You say flashing gives you the creeps, then don't do it. Honestly, unless there's a major feature in OE, don't bother.

Remember the big scary thing to worry about with bricking is the inital downgrade (farking scary) and then playing around with flash0.

The upgrader itself is just as safe and stable as the official Sony one, they do the same thing. Just use common sense, ie a fully charged battery and the power cable plugged in. And all modules disabled.

Nothing to be scared of.

   Re: Nige111 (Unregistered) - 2007-01-31
 » Yep...

That first downgrade, Was the scariest... I was literally *****ting my pants, hoping it wouldn't brick it, As my PSP has just expired from it's warranty a few days back. X_x I still worry a little when I downgrade now. :/

   Re: Advertising (Unregistered) - 2007-01-30
 » Yep

You're right sono, Sony should just stop releasing new firmware versions so we'll never get any real new features. Good thinking.

   Re: Advertising -


   Re: xche78x - 2007-01-31
 » you guys should be informed

its still good for sony giving updates.
its gives hackers something to work upon.
then hackers gives us the opportunity to use what sony gave us and still enjoy homebrew programs.
if sony stop updating the psp firmware for example when it was just 2.xx then we wont be able to play PS1 games on the psp EVER. updates are cool but hacked updates are way better. so please sony give us more updates and more psp capabilities (ex any video format playback, or ability to play ps2 games, this is just an example so don't flame this dummy). oh and please stop using the phrase "security update" you are sounding more like microshlt windoes

   Re: FlarePhoenix (Unregistered) - 2007-01-30
 » Not possible

Dark_alex doesn't add new features (besides recovery), he just unlocks the locks put place by Sony. I don't think he could modify the actual web browser or anything like that, at least not without the source code, which is locked away deep inside Mt. Sony.

   Re: FreePlay (Unregistered) - 2007-01-31
 » Doesn't add new features???

ISO loading... playing unencrypted PS1 games... etc...

   Re: .. (Unregistered) - 2007-01-31
 » ..

anyway, just as flarephoenix says, he unlocks stuff. The psx iso playing was already in the 3.0+ firmware, he just unlocked it so you could use it without buying stuff..

   Re: xche78x - 2007-01-31
 » oh extra

the ISO loading part is also just an unlocked thing. sony does this by the demo games. loading games from MS. and before you think about it, DA also just unlocked the bitrate cap of the AVC player.
and about Youtube playable directly playable, homebrew maybe able to remedy this by creating a new homebrew browser capable of showing FLV flash 9, but i think the psp memory will hinder this capability. but dont take my word for it, it can be possible (like location free player) homebrew style. i also want youtube direct on my psp very much!

   Re: Advertising -


   Re: PSPZorZ - 2007-01-31
 » r

Yeah DAX would need sony's source code to REALLY modify the FW, the PS1 thing was just unlocked by DAX like they said and ISO loading is just tricking the PSP into thinking the UMD is in the drive, and loading UMD games is a feature sony obviously needed to put in... but the demo loading has nothing to do with loading ISOs...

   Re: Typhoonexhale (Unregistered) - 2007-02-01
 » allright let me explain

the solution to youtube is easy do know how windows uses virtual memory (RAM2Harddrive) basically make a homebrew browser that caches memory to the ms ppl with 1g or higher ms's would be fine there and you could watch youtube all day on ur psp! oh yeah and flash9

might i remind you that SONY manufactured your psps?

   Re: rd261 (Unregistered) - 2007-01-30
 » true

For some reason people keep forgetting that. Sony made an awesome piece of hardware but they are not very good at coding, and because of that we have homebrew, but that doesnt mean sony is stupid nor a looser.

   Re: rexray - 2007-01-30
 » Stop trashing Sony!

I totally agree. Sony should get props for their excellent console designs and their ability to lead the pack with quality gaming products. The only reason I support Homebrew is to fully utilize the abilities possible on the PSP, NOT to hurt Sony. They're trying to protect their interrests and earn back the million$ they've invested in R+D. After all,if Sony goes down, they take the PSP and any future PSP versions with them! THEN where would we be? That's right... complaining about how much the Nintendo DS sucks - because that's all we'll have left. No thanks.

Sony rules.

 » Sony is good

1: they made your friggin PSP
2:they add all the FW features
only prob with sony is they will not let you use homebrew on theyre systems which again is actually a smart marketing descision because piracy is so bad these days they cant just give u the option to pirate and expect you not to use it ppl just arent that noble anymore

(Its pronounced 3.10 Oh-YEAH!)


   Re: skeet (Unregistered) - 2007-01-30
 » use devhook

DAX removed the location free player for space. I doubt he will put that in. Instead he can put something actually worth using. If you want to use the location free player, use devhook and emulate a sony firmware with the location free player. (Do you really use this?)

   by Dear DAX (Unregistered) - 2007-01-30
 » Dear DAX

I think DAX should remove the other languages (korean, russian, etc) instead of removing the LocationFree feature. The additional languages take up a LOT of flash space, and besides, 99% of users don't even use them. Removing Certificate Utility might also help as well. Personally, I think another valuable addition would be the ability to disable Network Update via recovery menu(to prevent accidental update). Good luck DAX!

So many idiots as such few bullets..

   Re: FlarePhoenix (Unregistered) - 2007-01-30
 » Agreed

There's no reason for DAX to remove those languages, since other people use those. If you don't want them, remove them yourself. Also, I'm pretty sure Dark_Alex already disabled that.
