PS3 Official Update v4.90 is Live! Official CFW/HFW Released!

"Layout issues still not fixed. (2585 and 2586 lines are blank)"

What does this mean? I tried to search but got nothing related.
 
i have a ps3 4.89 OFW i am using it normally for now but i would like to install HEN in the future, can i install 4.90 and continue to use it and then install HEN or does this latest firmware block the jailbreak?

the transition will not be so fast, the fact is that silk_webkit.sprx has been changed, and now there is nowhere to get the same one from (the new one is in Firmware_4.90\Part3\dev_flash_014.tar). The way out that I see is to take it from 4.46 firmware, but then you have to look for the vulnerability again. By the way, in 4.90 they changed it again, so the new hacking method that was invented by bguerville also needs to be improved.
 
I'm running the 4.90 (unofficial) HFW I can't spot any difference visually.

But you can see that the security version in dev_flash/vsh/etc/version.txt has been increased, maybe related to psn authentication? I'll check the auth_plugin.sprx
Does the HEN for 4.89 work in 4.90?
 
one question this new update 4.90 can be the end of HEN or HFW ? for me is ok i don't use ps3 online so is ok
many thanks for all PS3 dev for yours hobbies at ps3 is nice system for play arround
 
Could an exploit be like advertising ,free revenue is generated? So then hen wouldn't be patched just brain storming ? So that han users could possibly generate legitimate PlayStation Network users in the end for possible profit? For sony?

From what I've been hearing, it's possible that Sony patched the exploit that HEN was using…

UNLIKELY THEY HAVE PATCHED ANYTHING,
SONY DOES NOT GIVE UP FOR YEARS AND MULTIPLE (5) FIRMWARE UPDATES.
TO THEN BLOCK SOMETHING

I DO NOT EVEN HAVE TO LOOK AT THE FIRMWARE AND I CAN TELL YOU NOTHING IS PATCHED.
WOULD MAKE NO SENSE, IF THERE IS IT WOULD BE LIGHT LIKE THE FINAL ATTEMPT in 4.83

There was nothing in 4.84 / 4.85 /4.86 /4..87 /4.89 and i would assume nothing has changed in 4.90.

Sorry @zecoxao i don't see it i highly doubt anything was changed or patched that was significant

Also, the PS3Xploit team does have additional exploits they have not used yet.
That is why bguerville had no issue using another exploit for the PS3 Toolset.
He could of just used the old 4.82 hole (that HFW does) but he used a new one because he had various ones on hand.

you never know. BUT they have not even tried for years so why now? there is probably one guy left at sony that works on ps3 updates. he may not have the ability to fix it.

Would make sense for the ps2 hack that affects the PS4 / PS5 to be patched,

They are not going to SPEND MONEY on something that no longer brings them money.

Its been since 4.80 or before since we have even really seen any firmware changes.

I've already talked to several friends who have a ps3 with the original firmware, and they really said that nothing changes, $ony practically didn't correct the graphic errors, it remains the same, I certainly think that in the next updates nothing will change, the only thing that will only be updated are the bluray keys for each PS3 console.
