If you have a question then just ask!!

Thanks for reading.

The question what is the best cfw,

I think Rebug when it is released for 3.41, online for 3.41, and debug cant get better then that.

Sorry and no offence but this thread is stupid, you're giving information that you THINK is right, when it isn't, you also gave personal opinion with what CFW is best, geohots CFW technically isn't even a CFW lol its a file that modifys 3 things in the OFW when you install it lol.

For example, you can play pirated games, there's over 20 eboot's and .pkg files that are already modified for use, even ones for blackops.

And sony can patch CFW all they want, modify the hardware? lol sorry but you've got no idea.

Yet another example, you CAN mod blackops using CFW on lower patch files offline by modifying the selfs.

Cheers mate very helpfull!

This may be true to some extent but trust me no way Sony can patch this without changing the Hardware.

They CANNOT change the signing keys because old games will NOT work.

You also said that they can patch it but you never said how. Till now , you can only modify Blackops Zombies and this is NOT possible on ANY 3.55 PS3.


No offense, but your points lack PROOF! You just keep saying " They can patch CFW" but I see no proof or even a theory!

lol all you have to do to mod blackops on 3.55 is download a .self and replace yours lmfao

I never said it worked online though did I? Don't talk shit about you don't know, you said you CANNOT mod blackops, which means at all in any way shape or form.

also, of course they can patch it you answered it yourself, they can just change the keys, of course it will stuff up anyone that tries to go online but it is patched.

Stop talking shit you don't know about, seriously.

Your always sayin threads are stupid.. grow a pair and stop bitching.

and FYI for us to play online im pretty sure all we have todo is patch the update's EBOOT.BIN

whats the deal with peek & poke... im on geos 3.55 like most, should peek&poke be included?

thanks man

Want to know how they can patch CFW, and have games working?

First of all, they re-make the ps3 private keys using the original encryption, and encrypt them again using RSA, code that into the 3.60 update, so games require them to be used but don't release the 3.60 update yet.

Secondly, they code the same RSA encrypted and normal encrypted code into every single game, then RSA encrypt the game files themselves then release an online update.

Anyone who doesn't have internet to update won't be affected.

Then they release 3.60, anyone who wants to play online will have to do both of those updates. They can also hotfix CFW by making it so anyone who goes online downloads a trojan file that can look for CFW characteristics and change them to normal, its legal for sony to do that.
