Post: Just some info on 4.20 kiosk fw

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Possible issues that could occur from using any kiosk firmware:
-Game timeouts (normally 30mins if set)
-afk timeout (15min if set)
-installing new psn content(not to sure on the reason but the activation doesnt go through)
-accessing the store if you have psn+
(way around if your not psn+ go to the cloud upload on saves and hit join psn+ and just switch to game/video)


How to revert: This is what worked for one of my ps3s.
You must login or register to view this content.-Credit to who ever made it doubtful at that (glitchy joey from youtube)
You will need to go into recovery menu to install this or it will error saying its already been installed also the 4.20 from the psn server gives me a error on recovery install as well.

Getting recovery: hold power button until ps3 fully shuts off , keep holding until you hear one beep then a second beep that will beep twice once this happens you will need usb cord for your controller.

If you dont hold a button correct :dumb: it will reset video which can be annoying.

This should fix issues if your stuck on 4.20 kiosk

good for you Winky Winky me any package off the store gave me a signature error saying it wasnt activated from the store correctly i also had random timeouts on mine , great you can use something that does nothing and access the store when it clearly has it blocked from store use , and only way to access is using the join psn+ from the save cloud upload so yea :dumb: cool story

i managed to download crysis 2 and install it n play it but when i tried to download worms n install it i got the error so i just went back ofw lol

Maggbot timeout!
Hey i got a question about this...
This program will be able to let me run unsigned pkg files right?
I was thinking about, installing dlc patches for my games... ones that dont need activating? would it work
