Thread: PS3 Hack for 3.55

Lookie what I found. It looks like they have came up with a good hack for the PS3 running 3.55 firmware that will play backups. I have a friend who has did this but has yet to try a backup since he does did it and does not have any games downloaded. I am gonna try it tomorrow.



If anyone does it and gets some backups going let us know.

Yea, apparently it is working very good atm. backup managers seem to be working as good or better then on a JB 3.41 and PSN is functioning. I'm waiting just a bit longer b4 i jump dongle-less, just to see whats gonna go down when the new patch comes out...and if Sony starts banning people on PSN.

awesome time for the PS3 though!

I have been hacking the PS3 since this was possible and from what i have read and experienced with the new 3.55 CFW there are some issues. Some of the games will not run from your hard drive, you will get a black screen and the PS3 will freeze. And for gods sake, stay away from waninkoko CFW. It has been reported by many people to have bricked their systems.

Agreed stay away from Waninkoko's CFW. It has bricked many systems. Also black, it seems that many of the backup freezing problems has been fixed with a patch to fix file permissions on your HDD(s.) It was posted on ps groove yesterday or the day before. Most are reporting great success using Kmeaw's CFW with his lvl 2 patcher and the file permissions fix. Sounds like a hassle but it really is quite easy. Like i said i'm gonna wait and watch for just a bit longer.

So. Is this a 3.55 spoof? Or it really will run as version 3.55? Wonder if GT5 or Medal of Honor can run on it.

It is a truly modified version of 3.55 FW. And yes the new games will run.

As stated by Klax, it is a mod of the official FW and not a spoof. Klax also states that the permissions fix will clear up most of the black screen which i have also found to be true. I am currently running kmeaw 3.55 CFW, permission fix, and Gaia Manager 2.04. All of my backups and homebrew are working as they should.

I'm already running backup games on my 3.55 Kmeaws CFW.
Works REALLY good. Black Ops and NBA 2k11 are working 100% perfectly righ tnow.

does this really work? games work 100% ?
