(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Tis Another Update: To everyone wondering and asking about the new 4.40 update. The keys have remained the same and the core hasn't been touched either, don't even ask.

Update: Firstly, I appreciate each and every one of you for not flaming or trolling and being mature with your comments on the comments section, not only that but I also didn't expect this much attention in less than 24 hours. Anyway, back on topic. Today, it seems that I've come across another hint that could lead to a future homebrew/CFW release. On YouTube, I was originally looking for a tutorial video on installing a CFW CEX ARCH CEX 4.31 v2.04 OtherOS ++ MO_od, but then came across yet another interesting comment made by the video uploader.

I know what you're all thinking, why should something that comes from him matter to us? Well, the thing is, this guy comes from Team SGK and another legit and reliable, PS3 French hacking site: You must login or register to view this content. (for those wondering). The reason I decided to tell you all this is because, simply, don't you think it's rather unusual that we've been getting news like this the past several days? (I.E. The hints I've posted on this thread yesterday). Leave a comment on what you have to say about this, and remember, please be mature with your comments.



It was only yesterday where habs_power_SGK (a Team SGK moderator) made a very interesting comment. I didn't know whether to believe it or not, but what he said was that there's to be a CFW available for release, to install on OFW 4.31. And I quote,

this one is specially for 3.55 and lower ....but...... and remind this !!!!! a brand new cfw 4.31 bootable from ofw 4.31 is coming up ...how many times exactelly .,... i can't says because this ''hot cfw'' still on test for prevent brick ....maybe in 2 or 3 weeks ....and no it's NOT COME FROM TEAM SGK ....... more info to come when is ready to release !

I don't know exactly what a "hot cfw" means, but you get the point. I wouldn't have believed it if something like this was said a year ago, but with how far the PS3 scene has progressed since then, only time will tell at this moment. Nonetheless, I hope this is true, and it could be, in fact there are already hints that something like this could be possible. Let's not forget that the lv0 keys for FWs 4.21, 4.25, and 4.30 were leaked (the 4.31 update didn't change anything from 4.30).

Following up on the PS3 3.60 Keys leak comes a bright light at the end of the PlayStation 3 tunnel, as today an anonymous user has leaked the PS3 LV0 Keys meaning 4.21, 4.25 and 4.30 CFW updates are incoming!

What do we have to say about Sony on the other hand? I highly doubt there's anything for them to do anymore, the PS4 is being released soon, and there hasn't been an update for the PS3 since October 2012. Anyway, back on topic, if you hadn't believed me earlier, feel free to read here: You must login or register to view this content.

So what do you have to say about all of this? Considering that this is coming from a reliable source, by a reliable moderator, could all of this lead to a possible future 4.31 CFW, or is this another hoax? I for one believe that it's too early to guess what's going to happen, but who knows. Please leave what you have to say on the comments section below, your feedback is important. Please be mature with your comments and no flaming or trolling.

That's completely different, it wasn't protected by the world's best software security! Also don't forget that they weren't going to release that exploit until it got leaked by The Three Musketeers. If the PS3's security is cracked then a lot of other securities will be as well and fedewral actions would be taken in many locations. Nobody wants to go to jail for a game console jailbreak.

It won't happen. :\

2) PS4 won't have many devs just like the PS3 at start. Price! Nobody wants to brick the $500 dollar consoles trying to jailbreak it.

I'm not saying they won't try after awhile, just it will be a deterrent for them at first.

Well, With Sony working in the ps4 that gives the real hackers more time and when the ps4 actually releases for sure Sony wont give a crap if a new jailbreak gets released sure it be hard but look how far the hackers for ps3 came. I mean now its possible to host on mw2 with a backup without a jailbreak. The people that hack on ps3 like the ones created jailbreaks for ps3s will most likely be able to make another jailbreak, GeoHot on the other hand I don't think he'll be making another jailbreak sadly.

Ahem guys you missed the part of cracking ECDSA algorithm on 4.31 which now contains random keys on newer firmware above 3.55.Any firmware above 3.56 is virtually un crackable.So installing a CFW over 4.31 OFW is never ever going to happen.
Expect new ways of playing backups by exploits or hen but not a full CFW on a OFW above 3.56.
And before some smart ass say "nothing is un crackable",well ECDSA is virtually impossible to crack read the stuff up!!


Not really if you figure out how to disable the ECDSA check's and repack ofw then its is possible to do it.but your right on the other stuff
