HEH!!!Nice!!!!!!

I will have to give it a try, well done!

Yes this is great! Now we should have future custom firmware releases but since there isn’t really a difference between 3.71 and 3.72, I don’t think I’ll update.

THERE IS NO POPS
and
THERE IS NO 1.5 kernel

the update is all weird!
first you put the stuff in a UPDATE folder, start the update (by pressing X) and then it brings up the psp 3.72 update. very cool! i didnt even know it was possible to start the sce updater with homebrew lol

impressive. cant wait for 1.5 kernal and POPS :D

im gonna hold off until 1.5 is there and 2.0 on ps3 is out. i like 1.5 kernal and i want remote start lol.

Before anything, Dark_Alex deserves enormous appreciation.
Thanks to him for learning a great deal about reverse engineering.
After analyzing all the code of 3.71 CF m33-2 (We can demonstrate for those that have doubts.),
and after knowing Dark_Alex did not plan on releasing a 3.72 CF. I decided to adapt 3.71 m33-2 to 3.72.
There were barely any changes to this firmware (5 different addresses to patch by vshctrl.prx in some modules of vsh, and some other things.), so the only thing was adapt the code of 3.71 to this.

The updater I use for this process is the same one DAX made for 3.71 (also I reversed the whole thing, all the components, so all the code of the updater is mine taken by reverse and tested in my fat and slim).
It does not include 1.50 compatibility, there should be no problem installing it, the DAX program only works with 3.71 because it checks the firmware version (confirmed, if anybody has doubts this is fw 3.72 you can run the DAX 1.50 installer and see that it won’t run)
I am reversing it, (I am almost have it complete), if I reverse and have time I will make a patch for this.
INSTALLATION
Put the eboot and umodule.prx in the folder PSP/GAME/UPDATE, paste the official 3.72 eboot named 372.PBP in this folder and launch the program.
Sony’s code will run installing firmware 3.72, and when asked press X to restart IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO PRESS X, DO NOT TURN OFF THE PSP MANUALLY! Explanation, in the moment you press X the umodule.prx will do its job installing the files of CF in the flash, and then the system will restart.
If you don’t press X, you will brick for sure(explanation, Sony updater will only flash the IPL to 99%, but the modified updater also installs an IPL custom block, which in the start try to load x files if they are not there will produce a brick).
Tested on a PSP fat 3.71 m33-1 and 3.71 m33-2 and also in a Slim with the same CF.
Thanks to DAX for the original code (and the fun I had with it) and Coolj for testing my update code and the fixes in 3.71 m33-2 for the 3.72.

PS. Like always all flashes have their risks, so DO UNDER YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY

Im gona saty away from 3.70+ firmewares cuss that kernal is confusing..yah go ahead and lagh….but im jsut hapy with 3.52 m33

Seems like PSX ISOs and 1.5 kernal dont work

I already have firmware 3.72, so how do I install this one? It says I already have it so i can’t update it again

Could I use this on a new Slim PSP? With a untouched FW?

google “Pandora’s battery” if you want to upgrade your 3.72 to 3.72-HX

Glad to see that the scene is still kickin with some fresh new coders.

you guys are doing a great job pissing sony off, keep up the good work ;)

Good job man. You get congrats for stepping up the plate after DA left, god only knows those are huge shoes to fill. Good luck, I’ll keep an eye on this.

lol Ash gj but ima wait till u know for sure it can go back to 1.50 before i update.

can i instal this with in my 3.71 official firmware?

Wow I am Behind in the times LOL I am still work with 3.5 OE I think LOL

3.52-M4 still rocks! :)

Thank you Carlos for your CFW. Hay at lease someone will be making custom frimware for us in the furture. I can’t code so mad props to the people that can……………………………. respect the devs we could be at 1.5 still ???????????

Good CF ^^!

SWEET!!!!
you did a darn good job doing the CFW
\m/
props to you bro :D

but, custom cxmb(s) won’t work any more D:
gah

can anyone tell me that why i tried this on my psp fat it wrote that error on idstorage but while i try it on psp slim, its ok…& i successful to make it to 3.72 HX-1…can anyone tell me why?

3.7 series breaks so many stuff that I think I will just never upgrade from 3.52 anymore (unless there are games that force 3.7).

….ain’t broke…..don’t fix it! ;)

pfft, im still on 3.40 oe. like sarco sed, if it aint broke dont fix it. ill wait for firmware 4 to come out with new features, then upgrade when thers cfw, working pops and cxmb’s.

do pssp iso s work?

Very nice post… this is something that I find very useful

koo. ill stick with 3.71 though. i have too much homebrew to lose without 1.5 support, and if there’s not much difference, then it won’t matter really to upgrade. No games are coming out requiring 3.71 yet, so it should be ok. but props to you. nice to see someone’s keeping the scene alive. l8rs

hm. anyone know how fix key 0×0041. i tryed keycleaner but it dident work. i know this is the wrong page to post this comment, but i was maybe hoping someone might know. thanks

lol@dark-alex if he thought custom firmware would end with him.

If I upgrade to 3.72HX can I use pandora to downgrade back to 3.71M33-2???

IT does not work for FW 3.71

can i upgrade to this from 3.71-M33 ???

Ok Ive just upgraded to 3.72HX from 3.71M33-2. All ok. Iso’s and CIso’s all working. Even Doom working (firmware 1.0Version). System info says 3.72 HX-1 but Recovery still says M33 and VSH Menu says M33. Had my play with this and can confirm used Pandora to go back to 3.72M33-2 & 1.5addon. Now able to play 1.5 homebrew again.
I dont think this is DAX’s work and with that said well done to HellDashX for his accomplishing work. He’s the first to crack sony’s latest attempt.

Nice one!

WHY DOESN’t it WORK WITH OFW 3.71???!!!

halfbaked release >_>

thats gay when i try to update from 1.5 the game cant be started but when i update from cfw it works but freezes when it starts the sce update. can someone please help

yeah the sameahppened to me gotenks. sory for lagage i lerning.

either dark alex left us or HX are dark alex too… like M33…. =) anyway… I will update this firmware when they release a patch of 1.50… for now i will make it on psp slim only! MAYBE…

can i do this manipulation on a psp with 3.71 official please ?

i just bought a psp slim like 2 days ago and i was wonduring if i can hack that with this? the FW is 3.60 and i also dont have an old psp so i cant do the pandoras battery hack can some one email me or just send a comment on here so i can read it

I’m going to wait just in case DAX still makes 3.72 M33 unless hx gets better or he is hx but still it’s only one no. higher than 3.71

This is the Reason DAX left, all these flames against him, maybe you should shut your mouth?

Good job on the CFW guys, i need Remote Start, but i also need 1.50 Support =D

this sucks becaouse i have 3.72 and i try to downgraqde it and i did what is said and when i got to the psp and try to downgrade it it said my psp is virson 3.72 and there is no need to update!!! what should i do. do i have to wite.??? help e-mail cool60640@yahoo.com

i have 3.52 m33-4 frimware and when i try to update its telling me that i need 3.52 m33-3 or higher why is that?

haha. ur kernal mode change to 3.52 instead of 1.5. dont u read instructions?

I have a problem. When it installs the 3.72 theres always a problem (80020321) or smth like this. It wont go further. I tried it whit several MS. I have the 3.72 M33-2. plz help

Edit: i change the kernel to 1.5. but same problem. it says check the MS psp couldnt read… :S

DAX is the king of CFW and never said he did anything bad. All I said was i can’t wait for news for 3.72 M33 or 3.72 HX-1

I just want to play the IRShell in my PSP Slim and it doesn’t work with my Slim because the Kernel 1.5 doesn’t exist anymore in the Slim, how can i run the IRShell, the CF i use is the 3.71 M33-2, please i need some help, do we need a new IRshell version??? or it will be fixed that problem with a future CF??????

I don’t trust this why doesn’t dark alex just make a new M33.

Unfortunately, this is just a hex edit of 3.71 M33 changing the patches to 3.72. Math himself has confirmed it, and Alex.

Wait for 3.71 M33-3 which will be available later today.

Cloudy

I have upgrade and it works just I litle problem with wifi
Thanks!!

Can this still work if you’ve upgraded to 3.72, than Download this and try to install it?

Nice to see people still making CFWs, that mean that if DAX quit there still be CFWs.

I have 3.71 m33-2 custom firmware on my psp slim and the new 2.0 update just came out for the ps3, when i try to do remote start, it says i need the 3.72 update. so will this update let me do remote start

woot post 100 better than 1

Shutting down the PS3 via the PSP puts the PS3 into a state where Wake On Lan will not work until the PS3 is rebooted and shut back down again.

I tested this a few times today and I get:

A connection error has occurred. The connection to the PS3tm system has been terminated.

whenever I use the “Turn Off the PS3tm System” via the PSP.

Once you do that, you can not use the “Remote Start” feature over the Internet until you restart the PS3.

I don’t think it is a network congestion issue

any one alse having this problem?

is there any way i can go back to 3.71 M33 or any other CFW from this CFW? i want my popstation support really badly. is pandoras battery my only option or have i just forgotten something?
