Standard CFW (CEX)NO-BD Firmware (s) - Firmware for consoles with broken BD/Logic BoardStandard NoBD CFW COBRA NoBD CFW COBRA CFW***** Note: These CFW flavors (v1.00 builds) contain issues that break PS2 playback on some BC / SEMI BC models REBUG REX DualBootGENERAL Tip's & Task to perform before a CFW Install:- MAKE SURE THERE IS NO GAME DISC INSIDE THE CONSOLE
- UN-MOUNT actual game.This really important for example, cobra systems with webMAN, because webMAN mounts last played game on boot. If an Update folder exist in that game. It will install the official firmware
- ALWAYS verify the PUP's MD5 checksum. (see tut)
- Disable any Spoofs
- If you do not own a HARDWARE FLASHER or have the means to recover from a possiable brick. DO NOT RUSH to install a CFW / MFW Release. Allow the community to conduct test as some CFW do not get proper testing and even ones that do some models can act differenly so its best to give it at least a 3 day wait. Usually brick reports happen the first 24-48 Hours.
- Turn off internet connections when updating CFW's.( Wifi and Ethernet cable.)
- It's good practice to QA Flag your console. before installing a new CFW.
- Always a good idea to dump your eid_root_key
- Can be useful to take 1 or 2 dumps of you flash after a successful upgrade.
- Backup your Game Saves and edat/rif files to a pendrive, external HDD or FTP to PC.
