Post: [CAUTION] Interesting tweets by Mathieulh about WANINKOKO's CFW

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I almost wanted to use this CFW, but I changed my mind.
I'd probably brick my ps3 like many others, and check this out..

*NOTICE* hackinblack= Waninkoko

A straight copy paste from twitter:

Like geohot said before, OMG OMG OMG don't patch LV2.
I mean, we can run backups without using that shitty CFW. Smile
Winky Winky Think twice before using Waninkoko's CFW.

IMPORTANT

COMPARING STATS ISN'T GOING TO MAKE A RIGHT DECISION.

I got 15 of my friends that already installed it on their slims and their models varied. They installed the same exact package I had with absolutely NO issues. Some of these people are probably doing it wrong. Not saying that ALL of them are but I am pretty sure there might be a large chunk of these individuals not correctly installing it. Who knows. Hopefully another "stable" release comes out for them but as far is my console is concerned I have had no issues so I am not bitching over the CFW what-so-ever Smile I would be pissed if mine got bricked.

Don't be an ignorant fool. Look at what he has done in the past and with the PSP. The guy knows his shat TRUST ME. Look more into him before just assuming what you just said, hes been around longer than you think.

And releases nothing? He releases info, just too many people are too stupid to even try and understand it.

[18:15:32] <@Mathieulh> but from my analysis, he just overlapped a segment
[18:15:35] <@Mathieulh> with his dummy data
[18:15:43] <@Mathieulh> and get lv2 to crash as soon as it jumps there
[18:15:55] <@Mathieulh> of course some function must jump there for some reason
[18:16:00] <@Mathieulh> but I dunno which that is
[18:16:12] <@Mathieulh> that's proabably what's causing it to be so random
[18:16:35] <@Mathieulh> if your ps3 calls that function upon startup, you are screwed xD
[18:17:16] <@Mathieulh> of course for waninkoko his lv2 is perfect and without fail eh ? xD
[18:17:21] <@Mathieulh> or so he said on twitter xD
[18:17:55] <@Mathieulh> I'd have to check again but I am pretty sure he messed with the segment boundaries and that caused it (along with his lame patches)

[18:19:14] <@phiren> are you saying that all ps3s currently running wanky's firmware will eventually brick itself?

[18:20:16] <@megazig> he did include a timebomb, yes

[18:20:26] <@megazig> I'd remove change fw asap

[18:23:15] <@Mathieulh> eussNL he probably got a fancy function to jump to his dummy code
[18:23:32] <@Mathieulh> I bet you can probably get those dead consoles to boot if it's a race condition or the like XD
[18:23:44] <@Mathieulh> after trying to boot them for a few hundreds/thousands times xD
[18:24:24] <@Mathieulh> though until we find the function that ****s up, this is just theorethical xD

You'll only brick if you don't know what you're doing, I've done this on 3 different PS3's with no bricks, just follow instructions, and don't patch peek and poke or install geohot's first!

Still don't believe him regardless. Waninkoko did a great job on the Wii and I will follow his lead on my PS3 regardless of all the rumor's. Those that don't like, don't install it. As simple as that Winky Winky

Most have patched over Geohotz with no issues including myself. Geohotz did not tinker with lvl2 anyways. People used his CFW to get the FTP server up and working before they moved to waninkoko's. If you want PKG's installed you would need Geohotz up and working first as of this moment.

A friend of me on my ps3 told me that this CFW works and that he can make easily back ups with it... he said it works 100 %. Don´t know what to do now

Listen, It's your own risk.
Do it if you want, but good luck with a bricked PS3.
Especially if you have only 1 ps3 don't try it.
It doesn't matter what size your ps3 is, fat/slim or whatever. Bricks are randomly.

Just use geohot's safe CFW, like me and download .pkg patches for the games. Easy as shit after doing it 1 time right.:sleep:

I can confirm most 120gb and 320gb slims had no issues, if it's a 40 or 60gb fat it will likely brick if u do it wrong
