    PSX Scene, reports that a user by the name of kmeaw, from the IRC channel #ps3test on EFnet, has managed to get Backup managers, running on wutangrza’s CFW, this is accomplished, by running an app, before launching any Backup Manager, which patches lv2 and add syscalls in memory, they are reset on power off, here are the instructions, via the Read Me:

    Disclaimer: This package is for demonstration use only, or for running your own made software (homebrew). We do noit condone piracy and are not responsible of the small chance you may brick.

    Original FW PUP md5 before patching: ca595ad9f3af8f1491d9c9b6921a8c61
    Patched PUP md5 after patching: 2be5e87a22bf1e7f48e98fcabd38977b

    If you are on Wutangrza+geohot fw, you dont need to flash the new firmware, just install the package, and run it every time the ps3 boots before running apps that need PL3.
    Otherwise, it is suggested that you upgrade to 3.55, Upgrade to this patched PUP, then install the lv2.pkg.

    This is only until apps are updated to include this patch themselves, as then you wont need to run the patcher on every boot.

    For Stock ps3′s

    1. update to official 3.55
    2. bspatch PS3UPDAT.PUP PS3CFW.PUP patchfile
    3. Delete PS3UPDAT.PUP
    4. Rename PS3CFW.PUP to PS3UPDAT.PUP and that’s it! You’re ready to install
    5. Install lvl2.pkg
    6. Launch backups with manager

    A developer by the name of Wutangrza has released his CFW files that recreate the process that allows peeking and poking which flukes1 has shared with us earlier. Now its only a matter of time before we see modified backup managers like open manager, multiman working with this cfw.

    Download: Official FW 3.55

    Download: Wutangrza-3.55.tar.gz

    Download: bsdiff4.3-win32.zip

    Steps for Patching 3.55 Official Firmware on Windows by PSGroove.com

    Step 1

    Download the above files and extract them all into the same folder

    Step 2

    Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where you extracted the above files, then type:
    Code:

    bspatch PS3UPDAT.PUP PS3CFW.PUP Wutangrza-3.55.patch

    Step 3

    Delete PS3UPDAT.PUP

    Step 4

    Rename PS3CFW.PUP to PS3UPDAT.PUP and thats it! You now have an official 3.55 with lv1/lv2 peek and poke enabled

    You’re now ready to install the PUP, make sure your console has 3.55 official firmware installed, prior to flashing the peek and poke enabled version. You will need to install it from the recovery menu.

    Also, after flashing the 3.55 peek and poke enabled CFW, you can then install Geohot’s CFW. You will still retain lv1/lv2 peek and poke.

    Your patched PUP should have the MD5/SHA1 listed below:

    MD5: 05933bb7a89bee87b0aa45c74f980e81
    SHA1: 3d51501014ab46131a539e1664476e10fa9b611e
