Bit of a noobie here but I will be getting a Dex system, will this still be okay to update?

Can i install this cfw? I get an error when installing from usb stick: An error occurred during the copy operation

I'm on REBUG_4.80.1_REX_

the update gets copied to dev_hdd1 to prevent the usb stick from encountering any hiccups during the install. it sounds like ur usb stick is the culprit. it's failing at the copy step. u might try copying the game PS3UPDAT.PUP to the hdd via ftp, then installing with update_debug. it's part of qa flagging dev menu 1, so it should work on habib as well.

Would that technique also work or be as worthwhile as remote play for " XMB In-Game Background Music" flag or would it have unwanted side-effects? The wiki does mention a new thread being created.

Activating the syscall to enable BGM from webman-mod crashes many games and running the sfo fix webman offers rewrites too much of the sfo and can break things also.

When I used an editor on the sfo and just limited it to toggling the flag, the worst that happened was it said BGM will play momentarily after I selected a song(it never did, but it didn't seem to break anything either). I only tested a handful of games though.

Sorry. I didn't get your answer. I'm not trying to copy a game. I'm trying to install the cfw, I put the .pup in formatted fat32 usb in PS3/UPDATE folder and i get the copy error.

he is trying telling you to copy it (the pup not the game... im sure it is a typo and ill correct it) to the hdd via ftp. its actually easier imo to use ftp than to format and copy a file to a usb stick.

there are a few guides that you can find that will show you exactly how to do this. its pretty easy and pretty much straight forward.

yes, I have a guide on how to do this.

@ext10 , have a look at pinky's ps3 tutorials. the guide is in there. it's under how to use update debug. update debug is under debug settings underneath network settings. when u click on debug settings, a new list of settings will appear. I think update debug is around the middle of the list iirc. not sure if I put it in my tutorials but u can actually have one folder with all updates instead of having 01, 02, etc. it works either way. good luck. we're here if u need further help with that.

I've got around 15 update pups on my hdd all the way from 3.55 to 4.80.1 rex. I have every rex cfw that's been released I believe. and, I have a downgrader pup which is useless now with qa flagging.

tbh, i have no idea. there is a patch for it i think (no syscall?), but i never have looked into it, cause this is not of my interest. you have to ask @mysis about it

mysis is on here, but he doesn't sign in too much...probably vehemently researching the ps3 instead. if u send him a pm and his settings r set to default, he'll receive an email of the pm though.

Thanks for your answers, i think i get it now... Nevertheless i will look the tutorial that you mentioned just in case. Yes, i'm on CEX mode. I always had been updating my cfw from team rebug with usb method without that error. It is now that i'm trying another cfw because has not been news about team rebug.

well, I believe webman mod added dex 4.81 support, so team rebug may have gotten their hands on 4.81 dex. it might be only a matter of time. @Joonie , who's a member of team rebug, as is @habib will know better than I about that. habib's firmware is as solid as rebug's, so u don't have anything to worry about there.

Sometimes screen blinks with black.

Before I had rebug. No problems

If you elaborate more we could help
Tbh this looks more of an hdmi issue
Fyi:i am rebug member so all reviews from my cfw goes to rebug so we can build the best user experience possible

Thanks a lot Bro
i will ignore it
