So DemonHades and jaicrab along with their group of developers have been working for quite a while on a 3.41 CFW, which implements the Cobra payload, it also allows for playing games directly from the XMB, without the need of a backup manager, this FW was only for PS3 consoles on firmware 3.41, but does this new post from the source, mean it will also work on firmware 3.55 or even firmware 3.56 ???
Here is a quote of the post in question, translation by PS3HaX member CaptainCPS-X(Thank you).
Before reading any further, if you’re looking for something related to FW 3.60 or PSN, don’t bother reading
Hello friends, as we said JFW DH was going to work only on FW 3.41, well now we bring JFW DH 3.56.
- At this moment, the new JFW DH can only be installed over FW 3.55 or over 3.56 by patching part of the update with a hardware flasher (I recommend teensy, is the cheapest and easier to handle).
What can be done with JFW DH 3.56…
- Launch homebrew
- Loading of backups without managers (multiMAN)What can’t be done at this moment…
- Once on 3.56 you can’t downgrade, due to the new update system that we explained some time ago.
- The Grid cannot be used (for now).
- Downgrade is only possible with a flasher, but if you enter factory mode you will not be stuck anymore, you will be able to exit…we have not touched the QA yet, but it could be a way out .

If I recall 3.56 did not have LV0, it was put on 3.60+, still nice to know 3.55 users will get JFW-DH

The only thing that concerns me is the cant downgrade part. Dont really like backing myself into a corner as future items may require some type of downgrade? I dont know, but this sounds cool none the least.

so based off of the translation am I to understand that its only for 3.41 and 3.56? I for one will stick with 3.41 if they both do all the same things, I'm no stranger to factory service mode downgrades
09-17-2011

Guys, it's 3.56, cause the 3.56 keys are available (don't remember who found em) .... No keys above 3.56 have been found!
09-17-2011

Based on the better translation I can presume this only works if you are using the hardwareflasher, which in itself is already too difficult for most people.. If you are already able to use a hardwareflasher, than the dualboot option released last week is much better I guess..

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't some games NEED 3.56???? Without patching anyway. Although the "boot from XMB" sounds intriguing. But yet still I support deank and I'll wait to see what he has

Well, about time, why they made this for 3.41 in the 1st place is ridiculous. I think most of us are on 3.55. Another thing I don't get is that I remember when the 1st set of keys came out a lot of people were saying that the ps3 is owned and we can do whatever we want to it and sony's update won't be able to stop us because we have the master key. Now we can't even get newer games to work. I guess the people that was saying that were completely wrong!

When fail0verflow said what they said about breaking most of the PS3 security they were right, the only thing Sony has done is complicate things to gain more time. But in my personal view, it is inevitable, newer FW will be cracked at some moment, many have pointed out the fact that to achieve it is not easy and require specific reverse engineering knowledge and hardware tools, and of course time and patience.
Anyway, if your PS3 can't play newer games without updating your FW, its not because the PS3 Scene, it is because Sony made it that way, they are the responsible for that.
SeeYa!

Just thinking about the "no downgrade after installing" part.. Surely if we QA flag before upgrading to it, we can use QA method to downgrade since it works on 3.56 if it's already set from 3.55.

it says you need a hardware flasher to install it on 3.56?
or i am wrong?

So this includes the cobra payload too? Don't ever remember reading if it was confirmed that jfw-dh would include the ability to enable the software ps2 emulator? And is this likely to include what appeared to be a rom browser that was posted in a video of jfw-dh a little while back?

Gr8 job developers i know a lot of ppl that got 3.56 that would like to have CFW..
i think they mean that if u want to install it over 3.56 u need to flash it hardware style and not the 3.55
lets hope its like that.

You are right my friend. No one is obligated to do anything and we need to congratulate the ones who are trying.
Thants to the developers for not forget the stucked ones.

Sounds more like a bad thing then a good thing. o.o; Since it gets you stuck on that firmware unless you know what your doing to be able to downgrade. Being "forced" to spend money on a flasher? lol...

I really like it if it can play backup ps1 and ps2 like Cobra, but it is free
09-17-2011
04:14 PM
So you'll still need to solder if your on 3.56?
09-17-2011
06:35 PM
If it'll implement Cobra's payload does it means will be possible to play PS3 game ISOs which means way faster backup transferrings and less fragmentation as well as it will be possible to play >4GB games from an external disk? Or has it something to do with Cobra's Backup Manager itself aswell?
09-17-2011

So until someone implement the ability of both reading & writing to the current NTFS driver, we will have keep depending on FAT32 and Split files.
Only expect the previous feature "if" Cobra is completely implemented in JFW DH. The best we can do is wait and see what it will bring when it gets released
SeeYa!
