PS3 4.89 Update is Live! - Discussions / Details about the firmware update

4.89.1 HFW, but it is not set, writes "Corrupted data".
8002F2C5 from Recovery or 8002F165 from XMB.
PS. Super Slim HFW 4.88.1
 
I would say to $ony what Moe said to the other two stooges.

Me to $ony: "Why don't you dumbells stop?"

Seriously though I agree with the assessment of some of the others about making more money on the newer consoles.
No thanks, they can keep their CensorStation 4 and 5.
 
I tested it on PS3 Super Slim (4.89 OFW) CECH-4214B and could not install, the result is "Data is corrupt" 8002F165. I used 2 different flash drives and checked the md5, everything matches.
Mine installed but now I'm worried it's corrupted somehow I'm turning off my PS3 till all issues are resolved
Sony official update v4.89 is live!

    Compiled date:

    Important Notes:
    • ❎Bgtoolset by @bguerville is not yet compatible with FW 4.89, so there is no patch for those who update it and want to go back to CFW on compatible models.
    • ✅ HFW (Hybrid Firmware) is not available yet, please be patient.
    • ❎ CFW (Custom Firmware) is not yet available, it may take a few weeks, but @Evilnat (yeap, he is alive, we were worried about him too) via his twitter reported that he will be working on it.
    • ❎ HEN is not available yet, it will be eventually released after the HFW.


  • Homebrews Updates:
    Backup managers often need an update after a new FW version is released, at least to identify the current firmware version correctly.


Warning for CFW users:
Don't update it YET
DO NOT use any spoofing method until it is confirmed that the PSN authentication method has not been changed.

I've just installed HFW 4.89.1 over Evilnat 4.88.2 on a CECH-2011 through XMB using a really old 1GB pendrive, without face any kind of trouble or error.
Thank you, @Louay!
