Well excitement was created when waninkoko announced custom firmware for the ps3 with backup support and PSN(online gaming) it seems that he has posted what we would be expecting with V2 of his CFW for 3.55
New payload revolving around hermes and PL3
CFW patches which would allow for easy .pkg installation
Peek/ poke function used via flukes1 and kmeaw tools
To Quote a rough translation via google
Waninkoko V2: New details
It’s a relatively quiet day for us on the scene, but here is something to cheer with a little info on the new version of Waninkoko CFW V2. The previous version of Waninkoko had created an uproar in the community, by the hundreds of PS3 bricks following the installation of the CFW. But do not worry about the V2 because it would have found the reasons for the bricks.
Here are some details on the CFW waninkoko V2:
- A new payload for his CFW, based on the payload Hermes + on some functions of the payload PL3
-However, the payload, according Waninkoko not work on CFW Kmeaw.
The CFW-patches will be provided. pkg for easy installation
The CFW-use function Peek / Poke with some additional tools like the tools and CFW kmeaw Flukes1
Many people (who have passed the test of the brick) praised the first version, with the launch of backups without too many problems. Hopefully the new version of CFW waninkoko be a more stable version.

Hmm I smell an oven pre heating for baking bricks.

12:47 PM
no thank you, Keamw cfw is good enough for me. Waninkoko should probably try focusing back on the wii or 360. You've done enough for the PS3 scene already!
01-26-2011

truthfully speaking im on kmeaw CFW too and its working awesome
01-26-2011
01:01 PM
im going to install it like i did the first version no problems here,as for bricking the fat consoles well guys you should have f.....g waited and read all the post first before jumping head first in.wan cfw all the way.

As for Waninkoko, we all appreciate him trying to help the scene, but someone with that many bricks under his belt isn't going to be welcomed back with open arms any time soon.
@everyone: Please try to keep this INFORMATIVE. Don't devolve into childish monkeys and start a flame fest. This is a public forum, not elementary school.

01:36 PM
Someone please tell me if I should use Kmeaw or wait for Waninkoko v2?
01-26-2011
01:38 PM
domba, for informative purposes:
Waninkoko - hundreds and hundreds of bricks
Kmeaw - virtually no bricks (none reported what so ever) and if you DID get a brick, it's because you did something amazingly stupid
Personally, I use Kmeaw, as well as everyone else I know. 99% of the Waninkoko users that DIDN'T brick also swapped to Kmeaw as well. I would recommend the safe and stable route and use Kmeaw.
That's just my 2 cents.
01-26-2011
01:42 PM
I have a fat so I'll stick with Kmeaw. His firmware is more compatible with the various versions of PS3.
01-26-2011
01:47 PM
OK, thanks, I was waiting for Waninkoko to release the second version of his CFW or Rebug for 3.55 but I guess I could just switch back to OFW and switch CFW whenever I want.
Kmeaw here I come!

01-26-2011

Waninkoko is the man and I have no problem trying out his CFW. Yeah he got unluckey with his first CFW, but these things happens. Those that were able to install his CFW says it's much better then the rest.
All you need to do when V2 is released is to read the 50 first comments and you will know if there's a risk. Remember:
"Read then try" NOT "try then cry"!!!

..i'llnever trust anymore waninkoko..was a real bad and stupid work what he done...i don't like to talk bad about people that works hard to help the scene...but....who don't think mainly to the console health (like kmeaw did) don't deserve to be a scene programmer...
...i'll never consider anymore any waninkoko firmware ...
and the kmeaw works so great so ...lol
01-26-2011
02:37 PM
I'm sure it will work fine, the first one did for me as I read the instructions properly and didn't jump the gun with my fat ps3. I haven't had too many problems with either FW, users choice.
01-26-2011
02:37 PM
Kmeaw and multiman 1.14 - the best!
01-26-2011
02:39 PM
tbh Waninkoko should have informed people that he only tested his cfw on only 4 consoles! That was nowhere near enough to get accurate results. Now he did say he asked people to test but noone on from the places he tried to source replied. But because of that he should have warned people about how it was not tested properly.
I too am using Kmeaw cfw and it works great, only thin gI dont like is that Assassin's Creed 1 (NOT 2 or Brotherhood) doesnt work on any backup. Still no reason as to why that is though.
01-26-2011
02:40 PM
ive tryed every method possible for kmws and the latest managers and patches and i had constent freezes and crashes,waninkokos hasnt frooze once
01-26-2011
02:43 PM
It's just like people to blame Waninkoko for your problems.. it specified proceed at you own risk ... take responsibility for your ****ing actions and move on im glad he's making a V2 with better support... just shows you how we have ignorant children in the seene don't bite the hand that feeds you especially when it tells you proceed with caution. Same *****es that complain are the ones always asking dumbass questions just so they can pirate GTFO...that is all:musicus:
01-26-2011
02:46 PM
I don't see why does waninkoko even bother with this. This V2 doesn't seem to do anything new at all compared to kmeaw cfw + multiman for example.
40gb phat pal ps3, no freezes with the latest lv2 patch, had freezes all the time before with the earlier versions. Good thing that it was fixed.
01-26-2011
02:50 PM
I just hope Waninkoko makes a good CFW and I wish him best of luck! If he releases V2 with positive reviews I'm switching. As of right now I want FOLDERS! I have a lot of emulators, PSN games and homebrew apps on my XMB that I just want to put in folders, just like Rebug...
01-26-2011
02:52 PM
Keep in mind, I never used waninkoko's FW. I like my PS3 running. Even a large chunk of the people who thought they were fine bricked after a kernel panic/black screen. This isn't unlucky, this is shoddy development.
AGAIN: I respect Waninkoko for what he tried to do. the point is, his intentions were awesome, his results were horrible.
01-26-2011
02:57 PM
im using kmeaw and its great,i do have the odd freeze here and there and it is annoying,if waninkoko v2 is running hermes payload i will seriously consider changing to that,ive just found that hermes payloads are far better in my experience.time will tell but im happy as i am,also im open to change aswell,the bricks were a sad occurance but it was only really the 60 gb models and old ps3 phat models,its bad for them people but cfw and any hacks are always a gamble that you take upon yourself.dont slag the guy off,waninkoko is a very talented dev.guy above...where is the proof of people getting bricks fromso called panic black screens??cant say ive read too much about that.did someone tell you that at school and you thought it sounded good? I dont get what your on about? show us all these bricks please,proof before slagging off

Waninkoko did say he tested his initial release on only a few consoles. Yeah he ****ed up but it's early days and he helped us get rid of a lot of newbs. *Calm down, kids. JK*
I haven't upgraded to 3.55 yet but Waninkoko's is the only 3.55 CFW I'm considering upgrading to. His work and dedication to the Wii scene is enough for me to say that he'll be worth backing for future developments in the PS3 scene. Looking forward to this.

ok i'll try that one.
Waninkoko has good knowledge of what he is doing.. don't blame that guy for what happened to some consoles. he released the first CFW with backup compatibility and noobs were the first trying this and bricked their consoles (also the others develop. have learned from his fault).see the numbers of bricked ps3's... WTF? we wouldn't have so many lost if some of them just pay attention on sites that this can **ck your toy.
plz let this guy do what he know well.

I'm still on 3.41 on dongle, but am waiting for a stable version before I switch over. Waninkoko is well know on Wii mods, I think he will do well in the scene if you give him another chance. Give the guy respect as he was the second person to role out CFW after Geohot, based on his work, other mods improved on his CFW and faults. Time will tell which version will be used as the final version and most stable. I just want other OS back so I can use linux again.

03:39 PM
I got a slim but was staying far from Wakinkoko.
I first tried Wutangrza but had some constant freezes.
Then I switched to Kmeaw and still had some freezes (even with latest managers...I've tried Gaia, Multiman and Rogero).
I finally tried Wakinkoko and didn't had any freezes since. Might be scary at first, but in my situation, it's the best combination for my PS3.

U make me laugh evryone was rushing waninkoko to release minutes past and the forums filled up with greedy leechers had he had the time this wouldnt have happened i blame u not the devs tht work hard for free so u can run backups . Cheapskates if u like black ops tht much buy it dum arse

you have a bad rep of bricking ps3's, i was close to using it, if i was the huge crowd that got bricked cuz of your first fw, then i would be p*ssed.
i know obviously you meant no harm but because you didn't properly test, you f*ucked over a lot of ppl. i know its our responsibility etc blah blah but if you're going to give us a bomb expect to take some responsibility.
No Thank You Waninkoko.

OFF TOPIC
about bricked ps3s, what if somebody sends his ps3 to sony's repairing center ?
they can fix it for sure because many had such error when they were upgraded.
01-26-2011
04:23 PM
It's NOT like it didn't work. It just didn't work on every system. Did you people forget that he does this for free? Everyone makes mistakes...some mistakes cost money, some do not. Waninkoko has done remarkable work for the current gen scene. Especially on the Wii.
If you chose to not do research before updating your 299.99+ game console then you only have yourself to blame. I personally have a CECHA01 60GB(500GB HDD) and a 1TB External HDD with Kmeaw CFW.
Obviously Waninkoko is a talented hacker/developer. I have had his CFW on the Wii for over 2 years+ and I still play online with up to date firmware.
In the past Waninkoko focused his attention on keepping our consoles online and up to date. He still releases updates for his custom firmware on the Wii.
Why would you want to piss this guy off with negative comments because he over looked something?
It's annoying how you people think all this CFW & Homebrew is owed to you.

Why is everyone so hard on Waninkoko? I can understand if YOU patched it yourself, YOU checked the md5 and sha-1, YOU did everything perfectly right and still got a brick. But to those people who went and downloaded premade packages, or got their frieds to do it, you have no right to say anything about a developer's efforts. Waninkoko CFW worked perfectly fine for me.
01-26-2011
04:47 PM
Ok waninkoko cfw did brick a lot of machines and maybe he should have declared that it wasn't properly tested on all machines , BUT we all do this at our own risk and I just appreciate all the cfw makers for their hard work and as for flaming people that jumped the gun and bricked their fats if everybody waited for everyone else to try we'd still be here today not knowing that that cfw was bricking certain fats , so thanks guys I know your machines are now f***ed but without you posting on forums we'd never have known about the bricking .
01-26-2011
04:50 PM
If I was to choose CFW I would go for Waninkoko, as someone has stated it's more stable than Kmeaw and Wutangrza, but many people has lost trust in him for the bricks on the Fat PS3's. I think all this will start all over again when Sony roles out the new firmware 3.60.
01-26-2011
04:54 PM
It being more stable than the other 2 cfw is debatable.

@ domba
, go to information and push 
, then go to Album and push 
, then enter whatever you want the name of the folder to be for that app. Repeat this for all other apps you want in that folder. Its not hard and you dont have to wait for anything. I currently have an emulator, PSX1, PSN Games, and Homebrew Apps folders in the game column of my XMB. Hope this helps.
I guess you don't know that you can already make folders in the XMB, all you have to do is select what ever app, then push

Im on Keamaw at the minute and it is working well. there are occasional freezes at the XMB and the very odd one in game. I am very pleased with the way everything is working and I am not in a hurry to change any time soon.
In saying that Waninkoko has done amazing things with the Wii, and he will support the PS3 scene with quality firmware. It is unfortunate that there were so many bricks, you certainly cant blame the users who installed it on their system! The only way we found out about the instability's is through their trials!
Dont flame war guys, we are all looking the same thing so lets help each other instead of trying to score points.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with Waninkoko!

01-26-2011
06:12 PM
Waninkoko admitted he did wrong so those who did brick their consoles have a right to blame him. As stated about he should have released to a small group of willing volunteers first then made it public. But that said as always installing cfw on a device is ultimately at the owners risk.
We all agree it was a very bad start for him, but I hear he's done some good stuff on the wii, so maybe after this v2 he'll make something that'll further benefit the community.
01-26-2011
06:16 PM
i would like a cfw and bm that at least won't corrupt my gt5 save every 5 minutes. i heard wanki's v1 don't cause those freezes. i hope v2 is gold for gt5.

06:32 PM
No point debating whose CFW is best or accusing Waninkoko of creating bricks. You know its not the official OFW so there is a risk of brick. Choosing a CFW is similar to buying a software except that you get it for free. Its a personal choice. Choose the one that you are comfortable with. Sooner or later, some of the developer will run out of steam (due to work committment or disillusioned by discouraging comments) and drop out. And you are left with fewer choices.
01-26-2011
06:51 PM
All you haters on this scene! Nothing but hate for this guy? Are you kidding me?
Wait.......oh yeah, his CFW had numerous bricks......NOT!
Impatient people created a bundle of bricks!
You people disgust me! I have one PS3 that bricked because of the 1st CFW.
I have another older Phat model that worked fine with it!
I have a new slim I bought (due to the brick) that I have been circulating the CFW's through.
Here's the diagnosis........
Waninkoko's 1st CFW is 100 times better than ANY OTHER CFW!
1 crash since installing! Yes, you read it right, 1 CRASH!
Say that about any other CFW floating around......you CAN'T!
So just stop with the hating comments!
You wanna stick with a different CFW, please, by all means, feel free!
But as far as bashing this guy because people can't read or do research themselves, just STFU!
Just sayin!
01-26-2011
06:57 PM
I've seriously had it, for all this BS flowing around.
Waininko and all the other devs, does this in their SPARETIME, and for FREE.
I think everybody trying to JB their consoles should do so with care, and they should know the risks and for god sake investigate properly!? All the guys saying "I would be P*ssed if it was my console" WTF!? You could just have waited!? I seriously don't get the idea of flaming a guy who's TRYING to make the whole scene better!? It's the end users OWN RISK to install JB and they should flame themselves for screwing up and not have researched properly.
AGAIN, Waininko does this for f'ing free! If it continues like this it ends up with people flaming all the devs, and the scene will be dead! HE WAS TRYING UNLIKE YOU!
01-26-2011
07:13 PM
To all the silly boys who bricked their consoles:
stop crying for something that is only your fault and do something for the scene discovering how to unbrick your consoles...
ps: to put a new reflashed NAND, could help? I mean, like for pc, when you mess up something with your BIOS, there is a spare Nand chip that you can swap and then you go again with factory defaults. With ps3 I guess it'll involve some soldering...
Or flashing with a nand flasher properly connected..
01-26-2011
07:15 PM
@JEEPET AMEN to that, mostly people who flames the devs are kids with tiny brains. prolly 15 and below.
well hopefully someone come up for unbricker like the DAX and his Despertar Del Cementerio.

01-26-2011
07:58 PM
...you blame the ppl to "not have researched properly" ??
..the research was made upon the people who bricked giving info and specs about their consoles
if you blame someone to haven't waited for someone else to brick
well you suck...

I have 2 PS3's. One of them is a CECHA01 60GB(500GB Internal) with 1TB External HDD with Keamu CFW. The other is a brand new 320GB PS3 Slim with a 3 year Brick & Mortar warranty.
Before I do this I will do the proper research becuase in the end it is me putting my 399.99USD system at risk. Lately there has been a serious amount of progress on the scene. PSP & PS3. Everyday I find myself updating my backup managers. Sometimes 3 times a day. But before I do so I always find myself reading other members feedback some negative some positive. To do so is just plain common sense in my opinion.
I know that I will ultimately end up with Waninkoko's CFW because he has already proven himself in the scene(current gen).
He also has a history of updating his CFW to play online.
It's only a matter of time before this is all water under the bridge and all the haters here are on his CFW swearing by it.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you...

01-26-2011
09:07 PM
The point of my post was that it is not the devs fault that not all models were compatible! If you think that all these devs are testing things on every model then you better wise up. And I already know your rebuttal, "they aren't patching lv2"
Here's what you should know about that........somebody else WILL. then they will release it and 400 more people will brick their consoles and all the same ppl will go back to the forums and bash the Dev! Its utter bull****! READ THE WARNINGS AND PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK

To the people who blame waninkoko for their bricked monolyth....
go get a dictionnary, find the word responsible and you'll find out something interesting about yourself. For those who can't read; watch spider-man the movie. meh really guys, be men and don't blame the guy for YOUR bricked console. YOU decided to install it even if you KNEW it wasnt a stable release.
This guy is just trying to help, freely, cause i doubt anyone pays him to develop a custom firmware for the Sony platform. He does it for himself, cause he probably enjoy it, but he also does it for all of us, who can't code a custom firmware yet but still want to enjoy it.
Respect for the man, and all devs.
[edit]: And devs arnt forming a company or anything, they dont get paid and their code are freely distributed over the net, they do it even if they risk being sued by SCES, what I am saying is that they are the one who truely risk it, your bricked console, thats all your gonna get if things turns sour, they could possibly go to jail for YOUR sorry ass. Once again, be men, ****ing whiners.

Honestly, I don't think Waninkoko will be welcomed back to the community with open arms, until he finds a way to unbrick the PS3's he messed up.
01-26-2011
10:36 PM
No reason to change to Waninkoko's CFW V2, KMEAW works fine and has never bricked a console(with correct procedure).
Maybe when Waninkoko is the first to bring CFW for 3.56 it would be worth having a shot at.
Till then...
Kmeaw all the way:thefinger:
01-26-2011
10:52 PM
Ok for all those on kmeaw cfw how can you sit there and sya that its better than waninkoko when there are reports that most game backups dont work or they freeze when waninkoko has very fewif any reports of black screen and freezing and the FACT that those who BRICKED their ps3's only did so because they jumped the gun and installed it before there were any informatin about it and waninkoko didnt do like SONY and FORCE you to do it. i myself tried kmeaw and found nothing but trouble and thats after having waninkoko cfw first and switching to kmeaw only because i thought it would have better compatibility but i was wrong so i switched back to waninkoko and havent looked back since
WANINKOKO WAY TO GO:thrasher::thrasher::thrasher: :thefinger::thefinger::thefinger::thefinger::thefinger:KMEAW AND YOU SCREWED:thefinger::thefinger::thefinger::thefinger:

01-26-2011
11:45 PM
true Kmeaws does have freezing where you have to turn off ur ps3 and turn it back on. but since you dont have to use usb anymore its super simple. The benefits far outway the problems.
Plus It was super simple to install as simple as updating your firmware.
And i dont know what good this is gonna do Since 3.56 just came out
We appreciate waninko but this seems a bit late
01-27-2011
01:39 AM
lol waninkoko should thank sony for releasing 3.56
because his v2 of his cfw would have caused a mass brick fest!!! lol

Heres an idea copy What kmeaw did. It worked perfect and everybody loved it. Than add something that makes you special from kmeaw. I cant think of anything at the moment But Psn access would make you pimp daddy of all pimp daddys. And whoever gets 3.56 cfw first is gonna be king.
so make a 3.56 kmeaw waninko and just call it 3.56 waninko and you will be ontop again.
and figure out how to play an avchd without needing multiman like in the video xmb part or how to bypass the 4gb file limit with movies cuz ftping takes forever when you have a 20gb avchd
01-27-2011
06:18 AM
It was unfortunate that there wasn't enough info about his firmware, but there were several YouTube posts at the time informing of the actual ps3 models that could be jailbroken.
I had Geohot's jailbreak at the time and didn't update to the official 3.55 before installing Waninkoko 3.55 - I've had no freezes or crashes, there is always an element of risk when installing software you not 100% on.
The Backup Managers work on Waninkoko compared to Geohots, i already had Multiman installed and it wouldn't load up games.
Unfortunately for me i can't install wipe history v2, unsure as to whether i haven't downloaded something or not first.

I feel bad a little bit for Waninkoko. The reason why many ppl will not try this is because of the bricks before. Then wutang and kemeaw came out and worked flawless! It goes to that saying, "Your first impression is your last impression". But i do appreciate ur work Waninkoko, perhaps u should find a way to revive those bricks...that may be a good start to putting ur name in positive light again.

I can't wait till this come out im running v1 right now and this CFW is my favorite they have at the moment the only downfall is the PKG files not being able to install but v2 is ganna fix that all im waiting on now is NTSF support. Thanks Waninkoko for the hard work

for all those that were bricked sorry you got "unlucky". although no winging plz you know the risks, so dont moan obviously this is in rather early development and should be handled with caution.:canabis:

Looking forward to updates by Waninkoko. I have no issues at all with his CFW and backup Manager Rogero
Unfortuneate for those who bricked, but my god people were bricking their PS3 long before CFW
I also think too many people rush in, don't research things enough and well just F**K things up themselves.
I think its long past now, people should quit bashing, if you haven't any thing good to add, don't bother.
