[break]ss[/break] Also, playerkp420 has provided a Video Tutorial to show user's how to setup the MAMBA payload which gives those non-cobra cfw's cobra like features, in this link you can view some of the features MAMBA adds (such as ISO Support, Plugin Support, Network Loading and more).

I have a lot of people asking me how to get online, since the latest update. I know the real devs are busy, and usually takes a few days before something is released. I did see there is a 4.78 spoofer out. But I wouldn't trust any spoofer that wasn't SEN Enabler or Rebug Toolbox.

So I thought I would share my NON Cobra 4.78 CFW that I made last night. I have tested it out on a few consoles (2001a + 2501a), and since it is a pretty basic CFW I believe it is safe for any model. But be warned, that I am not responsible for anything you do with your PS3! Please give feedback of what model installed on,

I left the coldboot alone, and left epilepsy warning. Just a simple CFW close to OFW, to allow playing games and getting online with the correct precautions.

1. Peek n poke
2. reactpsn
3. Install Packages +app/home
4. Removed ECDSA
5. Qa flag enabled (if flag already set, but can still set flag with 4.xx toggle qa app).
6. Can be installed over any CFW, or OFW 3.55 and lower.
7. Can be installed over any OFW if NOR/NAND flash has been patched with a hardware flasher.
​

I know it is working like it should. Maybe some things I didn't try are not, IDK? But I played BO3 and GTA5 online after using PSNPatch, and my buddy is online with it now playing Madden 16.

For better game compatibility follow this video guide to add mamba and webman:
[video=youtube;BytVxYhjriI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BytVxYhjriI[/video]

After following this video, you will be able to use multiman 4.70.03 and Webman Mod on NON Cobra CFW or MFW. In the video my PS3 is on Playerkp420 4.75 v1.01. But works with NON Cobra 4.78 CFW also. Tested on my Playerkp420 4.78 v1.00.
​

Here are the .pkg files you will need:

• multiman 4.76.00 BASE:
• MAMBA/PRX Loader v2.1.5 - Make sure to hold X while launching the mamba loader app.
• PSNPatch 2015.11A
• Webman Mod 1.43.25 updater

USE ANY CFW AT YOUR OWN RISK

Nice going [MENTION=1879]playerkp420[/MENTION], how did u patch core os? Can i extract core os and use with swizzy patch tool?

 

MM report it's 4.75 , BD EMU is usable ... strange..

I used MFW Builder to apply some patches, and did some patches in hex. You can use it with patch tool. But usually what he uses only has the minimum patches like from dual boot OFW coreos. I will have a DB in a little while.

when mfw patches are used filesize is incorrect and can cause issues I think editing the .txt file can fix ill have a play when I get this ps3 in

 

Has anyone tried this on CECHL? Does multiMAN 4.76 work without mamba?

might be due to mm not being updated. I just decrypted the pup file for hex comparisons to 4.76/4.75, and the vsh.self header shows 4.78 like it should.

That is why I took it apart and used the list.txt from OFW.

I have made a DB OFW, that should be better for making coreos patch. The file size is exactly the same as OFW. Even if you unpack it, lv0 and spu_pkg_rvk_verifier.self, they are the same size. (The only 2 files that are patched to allow reinstall of CFW)

[MENTION=673]sheaushyong[/MENTION] BD EMU will not work without an update by deank .. (multiMAN v4.78.00 will be needed as mM follow OFW version numbering)

So since the latest version is v4.76.00 we need an update. There has not been many changes to the firmware in the last several releases of OFW, so 4.75, 4.76, 4.78 are nearly identical. Also since mM is not updated it will not display newer firmwares correctly.

mmCM mode can be used on 4.78 CFW without update, which that requires COBRA or you can use MAMBA and i believe mmCM can be used. Which in mmCM BD EMU is not needed.

patch for qa in addition to the basics LV0 and spu_pkg_rvk_verifier patchs is better for a no-fsm patch. This way you can downgrade right after the flash (if console has already been jailbroken with qa token created of course).

Edit; and maybe patch Core OS hash check as well

Can publish a cobra 7.20 4.78 CFW

 

Agreed MFW or not!!

technically all CFWs are MFW, and so seems this is not completely a MFW Builder production as stated some patches were done manually :p

 

I think it's semantics mostly. for example, most people use the coldboot creator by twizzy (is that the right name?) with the purple wave in the background, but others, such as myself, hex in the images/script. it's really the same thing whether it's automated or not. u can get most, if not all, information u need for creating cfw from ps3devwiki along with patches. u can learn a lot through hexing or IDA to debug the files, both of which, r in the patches section of ps3devwiki. ...just make sure u have an e3 or a similar device on hand in case something goes wrong.

 

BD EMU is really work fine on this 4.78 CFW , that's why so strange...

This mean that changes between 4.75-4.78 are really small. Also this confirm that $ony released this fw ONLY because rebug release, just to make 4.76 "outdated". Is funny that big company like to play cat and mouse game.

 

This fw has Install Package Files and app_home upside down , they are first in the column instead of being last . What is the correct procedure to enable Mamba ? I installed Mamba Autoloader , launched it and kept X pressed , then installed Webman 1.43.25 but after a restart i cant acces the Game column at all , no items appear . I needed to to a firmware reinstall , re-enable Mamba then it worked . Also , is app_home still needed with Mamba/Cobra ? Maybe it can be removed from the xml
