I know how much Greg would have loved to post this - Like all the stories you read here, but this can't wait 
.
KaKaRoTo was the first person to ever release custom firmware for the PS3 and now he’s taken a huge leap forward - The dude has managed to get a 3.73 Jailbreak “kind of” working. The saiyajin will take at least a couple of weeks to release it due to generally having a life, like most people. Unfortunately, you will not be able to run any backup managers on 3.73 Jailbreak – Not yet at least
.
Read the transcript below:
[07:28:39] heri, docpaul showtime would work fine
[07:28:58] kakaroTo, this means new tcl patches for mfw and some changes to manage 3.73 ?
[07:29:17] ddoo, and no I didn’t fix the npdrm algo, that’s what I’m missing (hence the “kind of”) but I’m not
working on that, that’s someone else’s job
[07:30:05] gonna debut it at ccc kakaroto or before?
[07:30:06] ddoo, and even if npdrm signing worked.. how do you install your pkg on an OFW 3.73 ? :p
[07:30:22] so KaKaRoTo, once the NPDRM algo is fixed, a release will come?
[07:31:14] heri, another missing bit, but once that’s fixed, yes
[07:31:23] but I’ll probably be off country for the next 2 weeks
[07:31:30] so all work will have to be paused :p
[07:31:52] oh, fair enough. we can all wait 2 weeks hey we have waited months anyways
[07:32:06] ddoo, that might work.. you could also just install your pkg on 3.55 then upgrade…
[07:32:20] ddoo, upgrading doesn’t delete any of your packages :p
[07:32:37] ddoo, issue is, you’re lost if you didn’t do it before upgrading
[07:32:53]
but they fail because the npdrm algo is spoted by the checks in 3.56+
[07:33:13] heri, also note, I “announced” it because I was excited to see it work as expected
[07:33:22] doesn’t mean it’s ready for release
[07:33:31] ddoo, exactly
[07:33:36] yeh thats what we were saying just before you came
[07:33:43] so you need : 1 – npdrm algo fixed, 2 – a way to install stuff
[07:33:53] you only announce when you are confident it works
[07:33:58] 1 has been done by someone else (don’t know if he’ll share it), and 2.. well, I just did it :p
[07:34:37] heri, well, I was testing on 3.60 and it worked, but yes, I did upgrade to 3.73 to test that it still
works just to make sure I don’t tweet any false hopes
[07:34:46] but you cant run what you installed until 1 is fixed correct?
[07:34:59] middleman, exactly
[07:36:17] interesting
[07:36:19] nice, thx KaKaRoTo
[07:36:40] * KaKaRoTo needs to hide now if he wants to get any work done
[07:36:42] ttyl
I guess this means homebrew is definitely coming to 3.73. Who’s excited?!
We’ll keep you posted!
