PS3 PSNpatch v04.70.05 - Now firmware Independnt and more from KW

Developer KW has some new improvements for the innovated PSNpatch plugin for PS3 CFW user's. Following the previous update that gave non-Cobra user's the ability to Auto-Boot plugins on system boot, the developer has now improved the new feature and also made PSNpatch now fully firmware independent (for all features, in previous versions most features were already firmware independent), to hopefully work with no update when a new firmware update is released. Then also [break]s[/break] for Cobra CFW user's PSNpatch will deletes app_home from XMB as this not needed for Cobra CFW user's . See the complete changelog below of all the changes KW has made to this very impressive Homebrew/Plugin. View its full documentation via the PSX-Place.com forums at this link here.

4.70.05 15/MAR/2015
  • psnpatch plugin updated to faster start-up (when locking psn access);
  • non-cobra plugin-manager updated: faster, safer, smaller and firmware independent (4.XX CEX past and future);
  • psnpatch deletes app_home from xmb in cobra but NOT in non-cobra (needed for discless start);
  • source code updated.
  • psnpatch pkg file was optimized once again: un-install psnpatch and reinstall new version to benefict from the small size.


NOTE I:
It has always been a major objective of psnpatch to be made firmware version independent.
This will guarantee that once a new firmware is released, we wouldn't need to wait for KW to release a new psnpatch version as the one already available would be compatible.
Almost everything was made this way: From the CFW disabling, to the IDPS spoofing, passing trough plugin compatibility or rap installs.
The plugin manager for non-cobra WAS not YET like this: A payload for every firmware version was needed.
With the new changes NOW included in 4.70.05,
PSNPatch will "patch" the payload to the currently running firmware version, hopefully making it "firmware independent" as all the other functions.

NOTE II:
Some users asked for a ISO loading in non-cobra.
This is not impossible, in fact, loading MAMBA for the job at start-up is easy and works.
But, it does not make sense in psnpatch scope:
Plugin loading in non-cobra firmwares opens the door for non-cobra firmwares to load plugins at boot,
like psnpatch plugin (for things like auto block psn and disable cfw from XMB)
or even a lightweight version of webman to load folder format games.
From here, plugins developers can do whatever they fit appropriate.
In my opinion, what is offered for non-cobra is already very nice.
When we want ISO, NET loading, PS3MAPI, and whatever more we can get from cobra ... we go for cobra

App_home isn't getting removed for me. Using habib 4.70 cobra. Everything else is working

I uninstalled the previous plugins before installing the update and installing the new plugin.

Also when I come to switch off my ps3 I'm getting 3 beeps and an incorrect power down message when switching it back on?

Webman issue. Reconfigure it to not being removed from memory when disabling CFW with PSNPatch plugin.

the app_home still doesn't get removed. think I'm gonna change to the darknet 4.70 cobra, the improper shutdowns and the app_home not getting removed doesn't fill me with confidence that everything is working as it should Wether it be the plugins or the fw

The suggestion I've made is for the 3 beeps and reboot errors.
The app_home is just a detail, no real issue there.
It has nothing to do with the firmware.

Ok thanks ☺

followed your advice. 3 beeps are no more, assume its safe to keep Webman in the memory whilst like this going online?
 
Yeah I just went back to darknet to get rid of the three beep issue going on with habibs cobra and webman.
Oddly enough I've now got app_home back since restoring my backup and cant get rid of it.
Strange ass system. :)

Could it be webman adding app_home back in on every startup?

Also slighty off topic but I'm about to convert all my games to isos.
Is it better/safer to rerip them as iso? Or should I just convert them?
If I do convert them should I delete the ps3updat.pup to be safe or will that more then likely flag me for a ban due to missing files?

edit: just gunna play it safe and re-rip them from disc with all files in tact.

I don't know.
I'll have to look into webman-mod source code.
Or maybe Aldo can confirm it ?

nop app_home don't comeback if webman mod is enabled at startup system.
however inside the pkg installer a clean game_category.xml with app_home + webman entry can comeback if you reinstall this package.
But nothing else.

I really don't see how everyone is having all these issues. Using Habib 4.70 Cobra and latest PSN Patch and app_home is gone and PSN Patch is working perfectly. Also on latest webMAN MOD as well.
 
screws me, done a fresh install on a new hdd last night and had the issues instantly.
maybe its just affecting the fat consoles? my cechl02 seems to cop every bug possible. (and some that shouldn't be lol)
everything's been fine since going back to darknet instead of habibs cfw aside from app_home came back. (was still there on habibs anyway)

Ahhh I had a CECHL-01 and it was hella problematic. Had issues with multiMAN when others didn't. Got sick of messing with it and sold it. Only have my slim now and my old CECHA-01 that is YLOD for years now (still on 3.41 and using a dongle LOL) but my CECH-2501 has been good to me. Only problems I ever had with that was user errors. Don't suppose you have the Samsung NOR flash as I did with the CECHL-01? Seen others with that model that had issues where others didn't. Not sure what could be the problem but all of them I have seen with similar problems to mine all had the Samsung NOR flash is all I have ever been able to relate with them.

Don't know about the flash, Will have a look at my dump later.
This thing sat unused for a long time after 3.21 killed the main reason I bought the console. (and I had another PC built by then anyway).

I've got a CECHA-01 on it's way courtesy of ebay atm, This thing's just givin me too much grief.

edit: just tried restoring file system, database, default settings etc. reinstalled psnpatch and still have app_home lol

I uninstalled v04.70.02 psnpatch extensions along with xmb edit and webman using shortcut buttons in the matching version v04.70.02 pkg (I don't like updating the plugin just to be safe) then switched from darknet to habib's cobra. I then fresh installed v04.70.05 extensions, xmb edit, webman and updated webman mod 1.41.31 respectively . app_home is gone and no problems so far.

ok.
Thanks for the info. ;)
It may be the cause for some users having issues.


I suggest that who is having questions with app_home not going away in COBRA to do the following:

- install psnpatch 4.70.05
- run psnpatch 4.70.05
- choose cobra toolbox
- remove every option that is activated in this menu
- apply (a reboot will be forced)
- back to psnpatch, cobra toolbox
- install everything;
- apply (a new reboot will be forced);

- check if app_home is gone.

Before using a tool like psnpatch you have to read the instructions.
This question has been asked and answered dozens of times.

When you use the psnpatch plugin to block psn access YOU HAVE TO USE PSNPATCH PLUGIN to disable cfw and unlock psn access.

Got it ???

ok thanks for your reply, I did figure it out eventually, although it was not made clear in the readme,as I was used to disableing via psn itself
one more thing is that I have installed webman via psn patch ,but I noticed the icons had changed in XMB for webman ,I did prefer the originals ,so I uninstalled via psn and reinstalled webman (latest) only to find the logos from psn patch were still present?
Is there a way to reset the logos within webman on XMB to ther default originals?
thanks
