Hello everyone, I've released version 2 of my 4.00HFW (Hybrid Firmware). Downloadable Here

Change Log:

Version 2: * Adds "Debug XMB Items" to the XMB Column "Playstation Network" (contains the Debug items found in this column, originally for DEX) * Removes the useless "Playstation Plus" XMB item from the XMB Column "Playstation Network" * Disables Cinavia DRM on all media except Blue-Ray. Version 1: * Adds DeViL303's "XMB File Manager" to the XMB Column "Game" * Adds "/app_home/PS3GAME/" to the XMB Column "Game" (has no function at the moment, but is here for completeness)

Installation Instructions are the same as before:

1/Be on a firmware 3.55 or less 2/Install the .pup through the XMB (Make sure you have a working hardware flasher as there is no other way to downgrade)

Remember only retail signed .pkg can be installed with this. Have fun.

THIS HFW WILL NOT ALLOW HOMEBREW!

An important message for users upgrading from a QA Flagged console: If this console is updated to my 4.00HFW from a QA Flagged console, it will not be able to access the extra System Settings provided by QA Flagging. However all settings made with the QA Debug Settings will remain, EXCEPT "System Debug Update".


Extra Credits: This HFW uses the "XMB File Manager" by DeViL303 which is a modification of Team Rebug's "Packages Manager".

I have returned with another update for my 4.00HFW. Version 2.5!

I'm not going to make you re-download another 180MB pup file, Instead I've decided to release a patch which has all the tools required to patch my Version 2 pup to be Version 2.5(although when the link for the version 2 pup gets taken down i'll release a version 2.5 pup). The patch files can be downloaded here: http://depositfiles.com/files/ae0knoccz

Just like before only retail signed .pkg can be installed with this. Have fun. THIS HFW WILL NOT ALLOW HOMEBREW!

Patch Instructions:

How to install the 3.2 Update Patch for my 4.00HFW: 1/ Install PS3MFW Builder v0.2.1 2/ Copy the 'change_xml_files.tcl' file to the 'task' folder of PS3MFW Builder 4/ Put my "modded FW 4.00(releasev2).PUP" as the "Original fw" and whatever you want as the "Modified fw" 3/ Uncheck every thing except "PS3HEN's 4.00HFW Patch 1" 4/ In "PS3HEN's 4.00HFW Patch 1" link each file on the task page to the ones in the "Dev_flash files to be patched" folder in this package 5/ Select "Build MFW" Hooray Its built! The task file used here was originally written by RazorX, but modified by me so it can be used to install my patch

.pup Installation Instructions:

1. Be on a firmware 3.55 or less 2. Install the .pup through the XMB (Make sure you have a working hardware flasher as there is no other way to downgrade)

Change Log:

Version 2.5:

Fix's Custom Icons/labels not showing in-game
Using Version 0.07 of the XMB File Manager (ported to FW 4.00 by me)
PSN content waiting to be installed/copied now only shows in the (Playstation Network Content) sub menu of the XMB File Manager (I noticed the XMB File Manager used the wrong internal link to show PSN content so I fixed this)
PS2 game discs show as "Playstation 2 Format Disc" instead of "Unrecognised Data" on Non-BC PS3s
The XMB File Manager uses a custom icon
The "Playstation Network Content" now uses a (IMO) better icon

Version 2:

Adds "Debug XMB Items" to the XMB Column "PlayStation Network" (contains the Debug items found in this column, originally for DEX)
Removes the useless "PlayStation Plus" XMB item from the XMB Column "PlayStation Network"
Disables Cinavia DRM on all media except Blue-ray.


Version 1:

Adds DeViL303's "XMB File Manager" to the XMB Column "Game"
Adds "/app_home/PS3GAME/" to the XMB Column "Game" (has no function at the moment, but is here for completeness)

ps3hen thanks for your hard work. so this will disable cinavia and still be able to connect to psn with no issues? Sounds fantastic. Can't believe people are such haters in this forum saying this is useless. Thank you ps3hen. I am going to try it today

[rebellionist]

would the newly released multiman for test machines pkg work on this firmware? might be worth a try no harm.
