4.75 Custom Firmware (CFW) & Updated Homebrew Apps

a few questions if anyone has the time to get back to me or pm me..
I have also made a new 4.75cfw and have installed it on my cech2503b slim and cechl03 fat, both installed fine and I used sen and psnpatch on both to access PSN.
I have the full log from start to finish with everything that was happening during the build..
yes its a mfw but ive never had issues with Playerkp420s in the past so thought I would make one for myself :)

DONT WORRY im not looking to hand it out or anything I am going to test it out for a few days then install on more ps3s
and if all is well then atleast I can make my own future cfws to use until others come out.

I just wanted to ask what the md5= thing is that everyone goes on about????
also how long until I know if its no good? or would it have not worked straight away?


theres no need to be rude or anything im happy to keep my 4.75 to myself just wanted some info...

thanks everyone :)

PLEASE MOVE IF IN THE WRONG PLACE

If you don't know what the md5 is for, and how it changes, you should NOT be installing firmware, let alone making it.

md5 is a validation check, FYI. Beyond that, you need to read ALOT MORE
 
in that case il learn all that wont I. was only asking theres no need to be so blunt about it. im not sharing it with anyone and if I messed up my ps3 its down to me.
im sure many of you had to start somewhere...

so I have checked my pup file and cant verify the code on google why is that? or is it because its new?
I get this when using pup check md5 - f988261c9d3bd5987c93cffd995a7012

again im only asking, its not the end of the world :)

MD5 is used to check the integrity of a file o backup. For example, lets say you share your .PUP and its MD5 hash is xxxxxxxxxxxxxx02, and i want to install your .PUP on my ps3 but what if i want to make sure the downloaded file is not corrupted? I proceed to check the integrity of such file with a MD5 Checker (i use winmd5).

I would also mention at this point, to not install any cfw you create on another persons console. There is a lot more reading you need to do before you can ETHICALLY ask someone else's console to run, when you were not aware how to verify the validity.
The solution to ethically allow it would be to provide the complete source code in addition to your firmware, and put big warnings all over the place to ensure that users do not accidentally brick their systems.

Basically like this. One patch not applied properly can equal a green light of death. Or a yellow light of death. There are hundreds of little tiny things that are in play, that need to be tested thoroughly before release.

Here's hoping that eventually you get to be a big name like the rest for cfw development, or that everything is working perfect for you. I don't mean ill will, just also have to look out for the protection of those that don't know better than to install risky cfw/mfw builds. :)

THANKS PSYKOSIS as I say I will not be sharing anything for a long time just trying to learn what I can and im sure il get there in the end :)
 
MD5 is unique calculated hash for files in this case for PUP file. If you build pup, and its working then you can check MD5 of this file and share. Now lets say you are sharing your MFW with community, someone downloading this and checking MD5, if calculated sum is same as you write then end-user is sure that instaling EXACTLY same pup as you. But if MD5 is different than one you provided then user know that something is wrong (bad download, edited pup, disk problem, etc), and this file shouldn't be installed because have really brick potential.

Even if you change ONE single byte of your pup file then MD5 will be totally different. Also if you build another pup with exatcly same setting like before MD5 will be different due to different time stamp of files inside, and because compresion is used, is imposible to compress files inside exactly same way in this case. This sum giving people proof that is exactly same file that you uploaded.

[offtopic] Awwwhhggggg you had to say 'Green light of death' and reminded me of a Cech-2001A console tossed around in my room. Turns on, green light, immediately yellow and then red light (red light blimps until i press the power on button) :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((

edit: hey, psykosis, do you recommend that book? (that one in your signature)

I wrote it, I'd always recommend it. (I'm saying this as a person, and not a recommendation by the site or moderators).

Most people that pick it up,don't put it down. Lol.

Use 4.70 or earlier version which you prefer...the most important is pre-check dump before patching..min. 3-4 times!!
