PS3 DARKNET CEX 4.70 & COBRA 7.02/7.03 Release

I compared the stage2.bin included on the cobra 7.03 version of the firmware and the one inlcued in "Darknet Cobra 7.03 PS3mapi installer" and they are the same file, also webman mod already shows the "PS3MAPI" without installing anything menu so why do i need this ps3mapi installer?
I only think i can be used over the 7.02 version to add ps3mapi support but why can't i use the 7.03 version on the first place?
 
Loving having cobra back again!
Only issue I've had so far is with darknet cobra 7.03 and webmanmod 1.41.29.
If I have PS2 classic manager and placeholder installed and try to refresh xml games list webman disappears.
Just an empty webman folder if you know what I mean.
I have to uninstall them, then reinstall webman mod to bring it back.

Quite possibly user error, never tried messing with ps2 stuff before. :)
Might just leave all that crap uninstalled and just play with the cable connected.

Does NOT work (properly?) on CECH-2101B - confirmed by myself
I tried to install the 4.70 DARKNET COBRA 7.03 and it froze me on first boot up right when webman loaded. It kept freezing me everytime so I decided to install via Recovery Menu and then it worked but then I realized I couldn't run any homebrew applications and then it hit me: There was no "Install Package Files" folder. Sure enough, it put me back on OFW and I was for some reason on version 3.72. Just to be sure I downloaded the right file, I checked the MD5 hash and it matched with E4601D0A978B50E2C53207CA69850830. So please don't do what I did.
 
You updated with a disc inside your system which is a huge NO NO. Your just lucky it wasn't above 3.55 firmware. When QA flagged and install from recovery it installs update from disc over HDD/USB drive. I have installed this myself on a CECH-2101 and it works just fine. Sounds like you need to install then rebuild database as it works just fine. Can even load games just fine with multiMAN 4.66.10 as I'm playing Watchdogs right now loaded via multiMAN. Your problems are your errors not the firmwares. Please read up and know what your doing before pointing the fingers at a well established dev as this info is pretty common knowledge.

Something tells me you left a game mounted before installing.

edit: ninja beat me, and pretty sure 3.72 is higher then 3.55, so yeah... time to hook up the flasher :P

Darn swore I read 2.72 stupid cell phone screen. But either a game was mounted via webMAN or you had a disc in your PS3. Without an E3 or another hardware flasher. That is why I remove all updates from my games prior to building my ISO's

I always use DragonBall Z Ultimate Tenkaichi game for my boot disc, and always inside my bd drive, and sometime I flash OFW 3.72 from the disc itself by accident. I'm 100% sure you did the same thing which [MENTION=2]STLcardsWS[/MENTION] recently wrote a post about.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I didn't mean to blame the firmware but I just wanted to prevent it if people were about to update to this (i was thinking for the community). I love darkjiros as a developer so I didn't hold any grudes. Anyways, I just re-jailbroke my PS3 just now with an E3 Flasher and tried again and it worked. Seems like you guys were right. At least I can confirm this working on a CECH-2101B :) Sorry for the false alarm
 
None taken at all. Was it to let you eee your problem not the firmware. Anyhow FYI when using cobra a boot disc isn't a neededas Cobra is 100% discless
 
I was using the 4.66 v1.02 with sen enabler i was online only for sincronizing the trophies i made... with this new fresh version what shall i do to continue in the same way? After downloading the firmware i have to install the new sen enabler and continue using the same method? What manager do you recommend? I always used to take vantage of multi man... thanks
 
Multiman still work on cobra version (in cobra mode). Sen Enabler 5.8.0 should handle this cfw. That's all.
 
[MENTION=156]darkjiros[/MENTION]

Can you make a " Darknet Cobra 4.70 NO-BD CFW "
For Damage Bluray and Damage Driveboard.

Thx for Your Work
 
Hi, what's the best way to install this over Rogero 4.46 Cobra? Directly from XMB or from Recovery Mode?

Thank you very much.
 
After Install the Rebuild Database.

After Install and you most delete your game installation.
And the Start the Game and New Install on the HardDrive.

No Delete the Games on your HardDrive !!
