Hi to everyone, its been a while since i played my PS3. I found out that the last REX FW by Rebug was 4.84.2 (newer releases -4.85,4.86- are only LITE).

Just want to manually update the stock cobra 8.1 (from 4.84) to the latest cobra 8.2.
i know that i cant just replace cobra from a different FW version to another different FW version,
otherwise i need to change some string using hex editor
thats why i searched cobra 8.2 for 4.84 instead and i found this git:
Code: 
https://github.com/Evilnat/Cobra-PS3/tree/master/8.2%20%5BOLD%5D/4.84/REBUG/REX/BIN

what file on that list should i download to replace the cobra 8.1 on 4.84? thanks and have a nice day.
 
Yeah, its important you do not use the wrong Cobra payload for your FW version, it can lead to full brick on NAND consoles, and a soft brick requiring a HDD format on NOR consoles.

If you are 100% sure you are on Rebug REX 4.84.2, you can use these attached payloads to upgrade it to Cobra 8.2, AT YOUR OWN RISK!.

These are the ones made by Evilnat, just put them into the dev_blind/rebug/cobra/ folder.

thanks buddy.
yep, im currently on REX 4.84.2, thanks for these files. Hope Evilnat can also make cobra 8.3 for Rebug REX 4.84.2 once they finished developing it. thanks again :-)
 
Can't you just install Cobra 8.2 over 8.1?

This is what I did and never got any problems, though I'm not sure if it just appears like I have Cobra 8.2 and am technichally still on 8.1???

Because in REBUG Toolbox it says 8.2 but somewhere else (I think in mmCM) it says 8.1

Havent played on my PS3 in a couple months so my memory is not the best.

That's what this thread is about. There is no installer though. You need to update it manually. Well really there are 3 ways to get to Cobra 8.2.
  • Copy the files above to flash manually.
  • Install a newer CFW like Rebug 4.86
  • Use Sen enabler on 4.84.2 to spoof to 4.87 and it will also update Cobra at the same time.

Salut @DeViL303

Peut-on aussi installer manuellement le Cobra-8.2 que tu viens de distribuer sur une PS3 sous le HFW-4.87.1/HEN-3.0.2 ???
Si c'est possible, y-a-t'il des soucis avec ce Cobra et ma PS3 sous le HEN-3.0.2 ???

Merci par avance, à bientôt.

Algol "le papy".


Can we also manually install the Cobra-8.2 that you just distributed on a PS3 under the HFW-4.87.1 / HEN-3.0.2 ???
If possible, are there any issues with this Cobra and my PS3 running HEN-3.0.2 ???

Thank you in advance, see you soon.

Kind regards.
 
Not sure if there is any changelog and rebug.me is down, I know 8.2 has built in ReactPSN for raps, and it works with the multi gameboot mod. Not sure if there is anything else important.
 
Just put your raps into dev_hdd0/exdata or dev_usb00x/exdata and if you launch a game without an existing rif file it will automatically create the rif for you. You do need to have your console activated (Valid act.dat must exist).

BTW with Cobra 8.3 (not available yet), it will also create the act.dat automatically if its required. Also you can activate accounts manually, all offline.

The major changes in Cobra 8.2 are:
1. automated rap activation
2. cellfsrename is used to prevent fragmentation when disabling cobra using opcode
3. Correction of offset used in ps1_netemu region bypass
4. TheRouletteBoi added the 3 new PS3MAPI OPCODES to syscall 8
- PS3MAPI_OPCODE_PROC_PAGE_ALLOCATE
- PS3MAPI_OPCODE_GET_PROC_MODULE_INFO
- SYSCALL8_OPCODE_PROC_CREATE_THREAD

I have a PS3 here model CECH 2501A with CFW 4.84.2 Rebug - REX Cobra 8.01.
What do I have to do to change the snake to 8.20 and copy only those files?

  • CECH-2511B - CFW Evilnat 4.87 Cobra 8.30 (Test)
  • CECH 2501A - CFW 4.84.2 Rebug - REX Cobra 8.01
