[Mooney]

Enjoy all, please read the readme attached, as well as quoted below.

TEAM FWi Presents: 3.01 SE

FWi (FirmWare investigators) Members: (LordSturm - kando - birdman - JamesBDX)

This installation is HIGHLY recommended to be installed on a FRESH installation of Dark_Alex's 2.71 SE-C (http://dax.lan.st) - The installation will not execute twice, as a countermeasure to this.

WE DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MIS-USE OF THIS PROGRAM OR ANY "BRICKS" THAT ARE CREATED DUE TO IMPROPER USAGE OF IT. RUNNING THIS PROGRAM MEANS YOU ACCEPT ANY AND ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR PSP. PROPERLY FOLLOWING THIS README SHOULD ENSURE A SAFE AND PLEASANT FLASH.

 

IMPORTANT: This installer will most likely "brick" if you have any custom PRX's FLASHED to your psp. So make sure to remove them first.

ALSO this installer will delete the contents of vsh.txt and game.txt in ms0:/SEPLUGINS/

we HIGHLY recommend removing all contents of ms0:/SEPLUGINS/ prior to installing to avoid bricking.

 

Known Issues/Bugs:

- If you have any hex-modified files, or prx plugins FLASHED, you may very well brick.

We HIGHLY recommend re-installing SE-C before attempting this.

- ONLY THE FIRST TIME when you go to system settings you will get a BSoD.

- Power Settings freezes PSP

- If a BSoD occurs, when entering language and time zone, after time zone is selected, psp freezes...just hard-restart and itll fix itself.

- DNAS functions dont work properly (enabling WMA/Flash)

- Some Homebrew wont run (homebrew is corrupt) but THERE IS A FIX FOR ALL (see bottom of readme.txt)

- Under System Settings, the firmware version displays 2.71 SE-C.

- The arrow keys that appear while reading agreements, as well as the arrow next to your text in the On Screen Keyboard, do not display properly. Some other symbols may not show properly either. These have no real effect on the psp as long as you know which button means ok and which means cancel.

Confirmed NON FUNCTIONAL:

- Online Manuals

- PS1 Emulation

- PS3 Remote Play

Intentionally REMOVED:

- Location Free TV

- RSS ( Support was broken. )

- Web Browser ( Removed to save space. )

- Animated Gameboot ( gameboot.pmf ) [will get a plain white gameboot] (use the trick at

http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=37271

to load gameboot.pmf from ms0:/ instead of flash0:/ to fix.)

Unconfirmed?

- Camera

Confirmed FULLY/PARTIALY FUNCTIONAL:

- 1.00/1.50 eboots ( Make sure to apply the fix that can be found below. )

- 2.xx/2.71 eboots ( Remember theres no such thing as 3.xx eboots YET! )

- ISO/CSO loading from XMB (no-umd as well)

- MP3 Visualizer

- Video Player

- Photo Viewer

- System Settings ( Power Save menu cannot be accessed, also causes first time run problems. )

- UMD Auto-Start Setting

- USB Connection ( Mass Storage )

- WiFi ( in game, as there is nowhere else to use it. )

- Anything that has yet to be mentioned.

IMPORTANT: This installer will most likely "brick" if you have any custom PRX's FLASHED to your psp. So make sure to remove them first.

 

ALSO this installer will delete the contents of vsh.txt and game.txt in ms0:/SEPLUGINS/ so if you have any custom prx plugins you were using, manually add them in yourself and edit the files as necessary. This is in order to enable 2.xx and 1.xx homebrew, as well as iso/cso support.

Installation:

1) Extract contents of this zip file to the root of your memory stick. you should have:

ms0:/301/

ms0:/PSP/GAME150/301_SE/

ms0:/PSP/GAME150/301_SE/conf.bin

ms0:/PSP/GAME150/301_SE/EBOOT.PBP

ms0:/PSP/GAME150/301_SE/pspbtcnf.txt

ms0:/PSP/GAME150/301_SE/pspbtcnf_game.txt

ms0:/PSP/GAME150/301_SE/vsh.txt

(if your 1.50 kernel is set to /GAME/ then move /PSP/GAME150/301_SE/ to /PSP/GAME/301_SE/)

2) Dump 3.01 firmware (grab official eboot.pbp, extract data.psar and run the psar decrypter that was released.)

---THIS DUMP MUST BE ~~D E C R Y P T E D~~ (use square in psardumper)---

3) place the dump into ms0:/301/ so it looks like:

ms0:/301/data/cert/

ms0:/301/kd/

ms0:/301/vsh/

ms0:/301/vsh/module/

etc.

4) Run the installer and enjoy!!

To Return to 2.71 SE-C simply re-install DAX's firmware at http://dax.lan.st

or read kando's guide at http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=37422

To make homebrew work that doesnt work:

use PBPUnpacker to unpack the SFO of a homebrew that DOES work (IRShell 2.71 edition, CPS1PSP, LUA-Pacman, etc.), and simply extract the contents of the homebrew that doesnt work, replace the sfo with the one from the working homebrew, and repack it.

This is confirmed working on IRShell, as well as DevHook .51.

A streamlined patcher is in the works.

~~~cheers!
