    I knew this was going to happen! I have not managed to get my PS3 back yet so I can get the latest Rebug firmware running on it and then Sony pulls a fast one. The other day, I think Monday, Sony did some PSN maintenance which I found a little odd because they literally gave nobody any warning and that got me thinking that a firmware update might be looming. Well, judging by the screen grab below from PSX-Place member Drag, the PS3 firmware 4.76 PUP link by Dr. L Ron Bumquist and not to mention the rest of the web... Official firmware 4.76 for the PlayStation 3 has been released.[break].[/break]

    Please DO NOT install this update if you want to keep using custom firmware.

      We will post more once a official statement is released. But most likely the usual stability dribble that Sony usually spews.

      The lv2 kernel OFW 4.76 is the same as 4.75
      The same made by sony with FW 4.66 ... then all the homebrew(with payload 4.75) are already compatible, and even the same patch cobras and mambas payload.
      Council to put only a spoof

      These are the symbols of 4.76

      offset 4.76

      they didn't change anything, besides versioning, as far as i can see...

      It does not help when DEX PUPs come out quite late and REBUG takes their time to put out a CFW release, especially when their CFW is a crazy-ass but understandably loved hybrid between DEX (debug) and CEX (retail), hence the name REBUG, which is a portmanteau of retail and debug, and hence the time it takes for them to release a CFW as they have to focus on making sure that their firmware works well with the amount of features they cram into a ~200MB PUP!

      You better beLIEve Sony though, because if "stability has been improved" by slapping on a higher firmware number only, then surely Sony has done some work on their firmware to "improve stability", right? RIGHT? Ughhh! :p

      I didn't mean it was rebug fault, just rebug cfw annoys sony. Rebug cfw is brilliant [emoji106]

      I know you didn't but REBUG releases, for the most part, tend to pop up near the end of the firmware version's relevance period, for the want of a better term, and that is largely due to the points I have mentioned earlier.

      no, they only have countered! IMO

      But I dont understand why? ps3 already in the end of lifecyle maybe some more good games will be released ... but how much?
      they should focus on ps4 and dont waste money on ps3 security because it dont make much sense...as long as the cfw users dont cheat in mp....
      and btw cfw users dont have to update after all just patch games spoof etc. (maybe they will finally give up if no more games will be released on ps3...)
