Then in 3.56+ firmwares, Sony encapsulated everything into lv0. So lv0 is now the equivalent of what metldr was on 3.55 and earlier.

To my understanding, this won't help much with dongles which are no doubt signed with different keys.

Very true. Now I got a new question. Mathieulh found the PSP keys with the last exploit, I'm guessing that means that the 6.60 FW keys are somewhere in this but does that also mean the PSVita keys are somewhere in here?
