SKFU CFW Research Progress
 

SKFU is still alive and kicking, and working on some pretty neat stuff. His latest project is what we all are eagerly waiting for, PS3 custom firmware (CFW). SKFU, replaced firmware files with same files from v3.41 Debug and PS3 still work with the new integrated options.

To quote: CFW Research Progress

While the USB Loader by Jaicrab has some trouble rebooting all correctly it seems for a final CFW we need to overwrite dev_flash instead just loading live from USB mass storage.

Some things you can already do for a nice working CFW:

1. Replace all in "/vsh/module + /sys/external + /sys/internal" with the content of a 3.41 debug dev_flash.

2. In "/vsh/resource/explore/xmb/category_game.xml" add this in the "view id=root" Items section

This will bring the "/app_home/GAME" and "Install PKG" options back.

3. In "/vsh/resource/explore/xmb/category_psn.xml" switch "root" and "tool_root".

This will add Title Store previews in the network section, as pictured above!

4. In "/sys/external" you grab liblv2dbg_for_dex from a debug unit and rename it liblv2dbg_for_cex. Replace liblv2dbg_for_cex with your new one and also add the debug liblv2dbg_for_dex.

Now you also have the debug options enabled.

I don't know how to show up the debug options icon yet, but you can modify the settings via the registry.

Great stuff, hope this actually develops so we could have some of the dev features.

wow wow bravo man bravo this is freaking awesome and dont get preassured by stupid noobs that go oh my god online online online **** them hoes you guys just keep on working on great **** like this =P

Terrific news.

Well done and a huge thanks to SKFU for his continued awesomeness.

Can't wait to see whats next.

Can"t wait to see this go PSP style with CFW's! Great Job!

awesome job man.keep up the good work.([])

can we play online with a CFW ? can it simulate an other firmware version?? :hmmmm:

do i need to have a debug system to perform the steps above?? or can i do them on my jailbroken ps3 to be ready for cfw??

yes you need a debug ps to have liblv2dbg_for_dex

So I'm confused... Does this mean that after you do the steps above you don't need your usb jailbreak? Or did I lose something somewhere? lol
