So you still can't backup your own games to HDD and play them from there? Man that is a bummer :(.

You can back them up no problem.

You can't run the games within Multiman (goes back to XMB)

Only a handful of games boot from XMB using PKG's. (no change)

Edit:- I forgot to mention I have a fat PS3, so maybe thats why I didn't brick my console :p

The BMs need to be updated to allow this...Someone is surely working on it and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes possible very quickly.

Well... I don't know if those problems are real or just jokes. As I said, some testers tried this and worked in both models.

Don't see the integrated multiman, but that could just be a weird translation problem (I don't speak spanish, only english and hebrew), anyways, APP_HOME/GAME IS BACK, and install package files is there without geohot! AMAZING!

Oddly, I'm on a slim!

What if Sony reps are the ones who go around reporting "IT BRICKED MY CONSOLE DON'T UPDATE" on IRC and all the forums... that would actually be pretty smart.

I think it is more likely someone else is working on a hack, will be posting it a bit later, and has a few people out causing a ruckus

I think the people who bricked their Ps3's did something wrong obviously. I'm waiting for a patched update that already works 100%.

I might as well wait for someone to release a working Backup Manager and a working firmware before getting my dick wet. I'll wait.

Yeah, I'm not touching this yet. Currently running geohot's 3.55jb firmware. Maybe I'll have to install the official 3.55 fw again before stepping over to waninkoko's cfw.

Wutangrza released a CFW a couple of hours ago that has working peek/poke. It essentially has everything needed for a working backup manager.

It's best to just wait a few hours/days before updating and see how it all plays out.

I recommend updating first to OFW 3.55, then to CFW 3.55. I'm sorry for all the consoles that have died, this was unexpected :S

i think i'd still wait

I do hope that people who get bricked consoles are civil about it. Everyone should be aware of the risks involved, especially at this stage.

Confirmed 100% working on a Slim that had 3.40 factory installed.

-edited out the link srry-

Patched update :). So you don't have to do the diff stuff yourself. If anyone can test this out on a slim ? :)

Sorry for sharing the link!!!

Already read a couple of posts of bricks from people who just updated over geohots cfw. This happens all the time with the psp etc. People who don't quite know what they are doing, eager to jump on something and screwing things up.

Yah, I'll wait a little more before taking the plunge, though I'm kind of glad I didn't install geohot's patch now (saved me a bit of work).

Indeed. Oh well, more PS3s sold in the next week, I suppose
looking on the bright side for Sony
:p

Second: just download the official 3.55 OFW and install it through the recovery menu. Full instructions on how to access the recovery menu are in a previous post.

We post CFWs all the time... there is nothing wrong with wanting to run CFW or certain tools, and is allowed to be spoken about on GAF. It is just some people want to take things a different way, which is, of course wrong, not to be talked about on here

The link contains modified Sony code. That's different than posting a a patch.

Sounds like people in IRC are hoaxing it up. Is someone on GAF brave enough to try this on their slim?

Bricked mine. Fat 40gb. DO NOT UPDATE.
In other news, does anyone needs a modern esculture? Only 300 bucks! Lol

You can "brick" both a PSP and an iPhone, yet there are ways to restore them if you know what you're doing. If it gives YLOD, I'm not sure what can be done though.
