• The French Ps3 development team, known as Team PS3-Devs Addict have released a second version of their 3.55 CFW, which is said to have the same stability as Kmeaw, here is a quote from the Change Log:

    Changelog Rev.2:

    • add new lv1 lv2 peek & poke for otheros & more + + new patch
    • New user Icons
    • Package Manager by Rebug
    • Included BDemu v2 & OpenFTP by axtux
    • Add Heavy Rain theme
    • Spoof 3.66
    • add 22GB for otheros, just Need to install petiboot
    • Support for otheros + + (bug no trophy)

    Special Thanks: Kakaroto for Ps3MFW, Glevand For patch Rebug, Dudu_clx for testing and user image … & More

    A quote from the source:

    Some of you probably noticed that it only supports CFW activation QA Flag as I have clearly said that the new CFW PS3A permitted. Actually after further testing we realized that this patch made inoperative trophies and as a result prevented the games run. We therefore preferred to remove this feature. In short it does not install the pkg from QA by QA if the cons has been previously activated it will remain active.

    That’s if you have any ideas or desires for the next version of our CFW, you express

    They also added this update:

    Update:
    Follow-up testing by some members and myself, what a CFW product “BlueScreen” on PS3 with a 40GB hard drive. If others encounter similar problem going through the recovery mode and then returned it. Go to the forum to notify me your problem.
    But the good news that his CFW supports the downgrade without you change the CFW-otheros Special order downgraded, I would like to thank the entire community of PS3A to follow us every day.

    Source PS3-Addict.

    Download From Source.

    Thanks to CrystalWolf for the tip via PM.

    NOTE – THIS IS A 3.55 CFW ONLY – DO NOT UPDATE TO ANYTHING HIGHER THAN 3.55
    FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    3.66 Spoof, just stops you accidentally updating your PS3, it will NOT get you PSN

      "Spoof 3.66"

      Q: Does this allow PSN?

      A: No, it only prevents you from updating to 3.66 OFW.

      Great job and for the people out there, i know there is somebody that hacked 3.66 but is afraid to share it, i know there is!!! i don't blame you for not sharing, cuz PHONY would bomb it again.

      Nice news looks like a great update!
      good thing they implanted that 3.66 spoof so people wont update by accidant.

      as anyone tested it and can confirm that it's good as Kmeaw?

      Good job to the devs behind this, but whats the point if it doesn't play 3.6x games? We already have 3.55 CFW that works really well, and yes I know "Why don't you make one yourself if you don't like it" That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is why waste your own time making something we already have?

      Because people like making their own versions of stuff, just as much as Rebug or any other CFW has.

      I was replaying to the "(hamtah nobody on the team said no)"; the person was obviously referring to me saying that this CFW does not allow PSN access.

      Nothing because you can't install the 3.66 spoof on a non-cfw PS3. You need to be on 3.55.

      Ok im going point out somthing .Make sure you have your console qa flagged to extra so you can downgrade after using this so as not to get into the position where you will only be able to install 3.66 fw`s..the 3.66 spoofer is not unmountable

By posting what game you are playing, would help people understand much better ... Example = are you playing la noire ,infamous 2, in the disc drive not a backup ?? etc ... So what 3.60 game did you play on this new CFW355 if you did ? This related to what you said above ?? Please post ,would be helpfull to others if you can kindly post every game you had tried requiring 360 keys ,if that was what you were talking about . lol, you seemed hyper/excited . Your 2 other posts ,i couldn"t quite make out what u ment . Example = I am playing a game on this new CFW without any patches for CFW355 so it playes 360 games , this is what i thought you were talking about .If that was this is why i was wondering since we dont have 360 keys .. ...

      i understand about the spoofing, with firmwares higher and for updates, but what else is it for?

      can you patch app_ver on 3.55 without spoofing?, i know on hermes 3.41 you dont need to edit the param.sfo file because it wont restrict you.mass effect2, homefront,virtual tennis,la noire,fight night, duke nukem (3.60),infamous 2 all work fine, mutiman will ask about patching sfo file but its not needed.

      only two worlds 2,gt5 required an edit to make it work with an update,
      just curious as i dont like to edit to many files other than the eboot/sprx

      It hardly has the same functions as Kmeaw, Kmeaw does Homebrew/Backups, this does quite a bit more and is more customized.

      Greg I have all those things except background FTP which is a nice feature. We thank Kmeaw, Kakaroto for MFW, and rebug, but this is almost their collaborative work. I have PUPs and never released them because they were not officially my own work.

      Stick to Kmeaw then. This is as much for having a tinker as anything else, and if you don't tinker then it is no real benefit to you

      hello,
      you all speak of a French Custo firmware, well look at what is mine if you find this one well :
      - Version Spoof 3.66
      - Support, QA flag installation packages without going through a CFW spécial
      - Support downgrade with Qa Flag extra version
      - Added support otheros + + without error when syncing trophies for games
      - Creating a 22GB partition for small boot
      - ASUS dynamic theme SPT-Team
      - Customizing coldboot

      *is downloading atm*

      So, as a final confirmation, this is basically better than kmeaw in every way? Talking about the ps3A btw, not the thing above me.

      EDIT: K updated. My PS3 says 3.66...too bad this won't give psn.

      i've got the 60GB fat ps3 (cechc03) i installed this firmware but no options came up when i tried it, i then went back to rebug after ofw, then my ps3 randomly shut itself off. at this point i thought i had the red light of death but after formatting hdd a few times and changing firmwares back and forth then to kmeaw the problem has seemed to fix itself, theres a serious problem with this firmware if u have a fat 60GB ps3 be very careful

      EDIT: sorry turns out my fans blown

      Hey all you guys, i updated my ps3 to this PS3A rev 2 fw.
      First what i did is updated to 3.55 original firmware in the xmb menu and then entered the recovery mode and updated to PS3A rev 2.
      Then i booted up super street fighter iv arcade edition (pal) that needs fw 3.60, in multiman i said no to edit .sfo file to 3.55, and it booted up perfectly through an original game inside the ps3.

      This is good to go.

      PS: i did see some weird stuff, like when i exited multiman or the ftp program, the resolution was blown up with half of lightgreen screen and had to reset to hdmi and one other time it booted up in recovery mode when i exited multiman.

      What i did: i renamed the ps3 update file and put it outside the UPDATE folder, its now still running good, i have to do more testing.

      Thats all folks

      IMO Rebug is the best. if you are going to use 3.55.2 be sure to grab rebug update V0.2. also i would recommend not using the otherOS++ version for the time being until rebug fixes their trophy/game issue

      Does anyone Know what "mount writable flash", "anonymous" and "list all" means?.
      This options appear in the Open ftp v2.0, which appears when you install it from Pkg manager.
      Thanks a lot, it,s a very important piece of info to me.
