(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); PLEASE NOTE THAT ISSUES ARE RESOLVED IN CFW 1.1 with e new Script, HOWEVER IF YOU WANT TO REVERT BACK REFER TO THE GUIDE BELOW
I WILL CONTINUE TESTING FOR OTHER BUGS

The following were found in CFW 3.55 Version 1.1 (THEY ARE ALREADY FIXED)
New version Resolves these issues
Can be found here: You must login or register to view this content.
As some of you are aware the first PS3 CFW has arrived which could be good for the hacking community, HOWEVER though feature are added through this, this actually takes away some as well.

Note the following are missing (hidden) from the PS3
-Data Utility
-SAVE DATA
-PS2/PS1/MINIS SAVE DATA
-Anything Under GAME IS MISSING


So Download at Your own risk, although Gamesave still work there is no way of backing them up the easy way (FTP once it gets sign), same with game utilities, you install no way of unistalling them. Although i Formated my system prior to this the option were still there and other users on other forums are reporting (nonformated) that there options are missing aswell.

HOW TO GO BACK TO OFFICIAL FIRMWARE


The PS3 will not recognize 3.55 in normal Boot Up so you must go into Recovery Menu

How to get there

1. Turn off Playstation®3.

2. Hold The power button down; The system will turn on and turn off once again.

3. Once the System has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps

4. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.

5. You will be promted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button

6. The Recovery menu will pop up.

from there, you will see an update option. Use Sony Official FW You must login or register to view this content.


Everything is back to the way it was

Nice work Nitro. Yea I just figured out how to boot it in recovery. I was unaware this feature existed. This is good news. I will suggest that anyone who tries this they make a backup of all their gamesaves and data. Unless, the just reappear after the revert to 3.55 ofw?

well i had no save prior to this, but when i tested God of war it made a save (hidden).

The save is also there when i went back So i am guessing it will be there still. Only the option is hidden when you CFW the save are still stored

:y: on how to revert back idk if i should download it tho :/

Okay so much like the beginning stages of the psp exploit the official XMB game menu is overlapped with the install pkg folder and from what NitroWolf is saying, the data before the cfw install remains after reverting back to 3.55 OFW. So really there is no downfall to trying this.

Giving it a shot now. Loading up my dual boot to test my own little 'hello world' fun. Thanks for the heads up Nitro!

but my question is that, does this happen all the time or is their a % risk

i am betting it's all the time. Like Ice Cream Man said, it's like PSP beginning hack where it would just overlay the options, but they are not really gone.
Don't worry this will be fixed in the future real soon, expect some PSP CFW team to begin working on PS3 now.

I don't have time to retest it right now to make sure, but like i said i am sure it's all the time.

ohh alright man thanks
