i cant WAIT any longer its been so long.i need my fix of some new homebruw.

[ZOMBIEKILLAH]

In all honestly whether people like it or not KaKaRoTo is doing exactly what he should be doing .Sony can not mess with him if he supports only homebrew with his FW .He can share with the scene without a LAWSUIT ,even if sony tried they would lose ! @kakaroto you know ,you are s smart guy & i can see how you explained the situation. Make it clear that there will be no Backups on your release if / when it happens. You cover your A$$ .That is how it should be done. I personally may not use the release ,but many others will. I have much respect what you believe in free flow information/sharing + what you have done for the scene People need to realize ,would it be better if KaKaRoTo was to release a CFW to do everything a 355 can do ? No bad idea .that would be very risky if released in his name & just bad .

We don't want to lose a good DEV/Person/Member/Hacker, that is helping the scene in a big way + all he has done .Come on ,people who say without a backup manager it is useless ? You can still play your disc based games. I mean those who say this do you want to see KaKaRoTo to end up in a lawsuit ? I don't want to hear anything like that happen to the guy. I know that many others don't want to see that either . I will be there is he releases & if Sony still does mess with him ,but i doubt Sony will be so dumb as they already know what has happened in the past. Other than the fact there is no piracy enabled if he releases which sony would have no case !

Thank you KaKaRoTo for your interest in the PS3 & for sharing your information .If releasing in public, you are doing things right & if anonymous Devs, want to enable other features.? You walk away clean & we remember your name friend. KaKaRoTo has always cared & the way i look at it he is giving something bigger than anyone has in a long time ! Everybody who has been asking for a CFW every week .

Well things are looking good & appreciate what you may be getting = it's a start I know i would be happy if i was stuck on 356+ & could not play my new games.. We all been waiting for a release of something big to hope the scene will not die & i think this will be a big help to keep the scene alive.

It seems as tho developer kakaroto has been flooded with questions regarding his 3.73 jailbreak that he announced late last night. here is a copy and paste from his blog.

Hi all, I’ve been flooded with questions on twitter and I’ve read many posts on news sites and I’ve seen some stuff being said on IRC and I thought I needed to clarify a few things… First of all, I didn’t expect to see my tweet front paged on all ps3 hacking news sites.. although I should have expected it.. but anyways, the “jailbreak” is not ready to be used, at all. I only tweeted that because I was excited having it working and I wanted to share my excitement with everyone. But this is a bit equivalent to the day I released that create_cfw.sh script that created the very first CFW/MFW but it still took a couple of months before a real, easy, multiplatform and fully fledged solution was released : PS3MFW. We are currently at the same state, I have the proof of concept, it works, but a solution that anyone can use where they just click a button and their PS3 gets jailbroken is still far from ready. I’ve seen people say (and even write it in their front page news) that I’ll release it in two weeks after I come back from vacation. That is not true and I never said that. What I said was that for the next 2 weeks, the project is on hold until I get back.. but when I get back, then I will continue working on it, and it will then take some more time before it’s ready and released. Some asked if it’s based on what gitbrew was doing/suggesting or if I used someone else’s exploit or work. No, this solution is my own idea and 100% my own implementation. However, the actual solution for the full jailbreak involves some components on which I will not work, and I expect/hope that someone else will provide the solution for that. Some speculated it might be what I spoke about back in March which I later said I wasn’t pursuing by lack of motivation.. and yes, you are right. The same hack I had in March is still valid today, I told a few people about it (rms, Mathieulh, an0nym0us, and a couple more), but no one was interested in pursuing it further and actually exploiting that flaw (mainly because it requires a huge amount of work to get a proof of concept working). 10 days ago (I started on the 11th), I got bored and decided to start poking at it again, and yesterday (a lot faster than I thought it would take), I got my first pkg installed on 3.73 firmware. On twitter, I said “do not update if you are on 3.55″, I said that in response to someone who said he would update. Because of that, people speculated that you need to be on 3.55 first, and then install something before doing the upgrade. No, that’s not it, that would be useless. The purpose of my solution is to jailbreak a ps3 that is already on 3.73 firmware and which had never been jailbroken before. I told people not to update because, first of all, it’s not yet ready, and second of all, the 3.55 firmware gives you a lot more possibilities than what can be achieved on 3.73. So what is this jailbreak? I won’t say because I don’t want Sony to block it in a firmware update (and yes, they potentially could) before it’s even released (and yes, I will release it when it’s ready). But I will explain this to you : in order to run your homebrew apps, you need two things. First, to be able to install them on the ps3, and second to be able to run it once installed. I did only one of these two things. Some may say it’s not a real jailbreak, but the way I see it, there are three ‘jails’ on the ps3, I broke the first one which prevents you from installing anything, so now you can install your .pkg, great, but it won’t run, that’s the second jail. The third jail is being able to modify the firmware (peek&poke). The second jail (running apps) is something that can be done, but it’s not my area of expertise (npdrm algo), so I will not be working on that. I am waiting for someone else to achieve it (some have succeeded but do not wish to release it, at least not for now) then I will release. The third jail (modifying the firmware) is not possible with my method, this means that you will not have a “CFW”, you will run your homebrew applications and games on an official firmware. This also means that without peek&poke support, none of the backup managers will work. So, again, my solution is piracy-free, and as always, I do not plan on working on a way to enable piracy (or even legal backups). Overall, the purpose will be to allow people who are on 3.73 firmware to enjoy the homebrew games that were released, to play a bit with Eskiss, and to use Showtime for playing their movies. This should be more than enough for everyone. Finally, I will conclude by replying to another question I received : Do you accept donations? The answer is yes. I do accept donations but I do not seek them out. I will include a donate button to the bottom of this post, so if anyone wishes to donate, they can do so, however, I want to make it clear that whether or not you donate does not and will not affect in any way, the release, or the progress of the work I’m doing. If you donate, you would do it as a sign of appreciation of my efforts, and not in exchange of any favors or anything crazy like that. That’s about it I think… If you have any more questions, please refrain from asking them, I get enough as it is already.. I also said everything I needed to say and I don’t want to give any more information than that (for now). KaKaRoTo

Yea, exactly what i or any sensible true JAILBREAK fan needs. Those crying for BM and legal backups. You guys don't buy every game but when it is piracy you will download even the most ****ty games. I am super excited for the options kakaroto will be releasing later. Nothing else is needed. He is the nicest person/dev. Thank you KaKaRoTo

There once was a well known, now obscure, method that can "install" any package on any PS3.
If you have followed the PS3 scene since its inception think hard and you might remember it.
How long has the PS3 been around?

IF you get that, Apps just needs to be "signed" for 3.56+ firmware and then its over.
...but it is very easy for Sony to block.
Best to wait for Sony to update as far forward as possible.
That's all this is.

F@H???

If sony updated firmware and fixed something tomorrow could we still just download the older hackable firmware version off the internet, put it on usb, and upgrage to the older firmware? Dunno about the upgrade proceses, since I don't update anything anymore.
