Official Firmware 4.05 decryted, Custom Firmware 4.05 M33 coming soon? - Image 1

Whoa, that was fast. The PSP Gen team has announced that they have decrypted Sony's official 4.05 firmware update. You can check out the picture to the right for a look see.

According to the team, not much has changed since 4.01. The team has expressed doubts that Dark AleX and the rest of Team M33 will provide an update for their custom firmware. Still, pending an official update from the team, there's no reason to dash your hopes just yet. At any rate, we'll be sure to keep you posted.

The PSP Gen team will be releasing a PSAR dumper for the firmware real soon, so watch out for that one.

Thanks to Gilberto Jimenez for the tip!

# M33 or GEN — crtbbc111 2008-07-14 06:00

i doubt team M33 will waste time on making 4.05-M33

its more probable that 4.05 GEN will be released soon.

# . — GmDude66 2008-07-14 06:23

Red Squirrel has already released RSPsar Dumper 3.5 which includes support for 4.05:

# GEN! — jaygen 2008-07-14 06:31

hopefully 4.05 GEN will be coming out. I been waiting for them to drop a new release. Today is my birthday too so this is great news for me.

PSPGEN all day baby!

spelled decrypted wrong.

# whoops — Guest 2008-07-14 06:44

Corrected, thanks for pointing it out :)

# M33 and GEN firmware — ajnauron 2008-07-14 06:52

M33 likes to release new versions only when major updates are made; GEN seems to do the smaller updates. I think it's going to stay this way for a while, as GEN didn't make a 4.01 version.

# but — Foolmonkey 2008-07-14 08:00

GEN isn't awesome like M33. they did 4.01 M33 in like a week.

# you trader! — kasmo7 2008-07-14 08:45

you are the enemy now lol jk

# hmm... — deejaydark 2008-07-14 10:33

not 2 say GEN is bad but i'll stick with Team M33 4 eva :)

# forget a 4.05-m33 — urherenow 2008-07-14 11:16

I'd rather DAX do a quick update of popstation kthks.

# me too — majorbb100 2008-07-14 12:26

M33 forever until they stop making cfw, then i will move onto GEN or whoever else is making it at the time.

# diit. — Specht 2008-07-14 13:08

Will Pandora still work with 4.05? I wanna see what's new even if it's not much.

# . — akadewboy 2008-07-14 14:07

Pandora will ALWAYS work.

# Pandora will work but .... — ChaosX6 2008-07-14 15:46

Sony has already made PSPs w/o the capability off creating Pandora so who knows if soon the firmware will block it.

# You need to read more. — Bense 2008-07-14 16:45

The pandora doesn't even touch the fw when it starts up, you can even brick your psp and render it inoperable, yet with the pandora you can tell the psp to boot from the memory stick.

Even if sony could make a feature with their firmware to "block pandora", it wouldn't work cause of several rules here, one, pandora doesn't touch the fw on the psp, it JUST reads from the memory stick when booting. Even if they could block pandora (which they can't) you could just brick your psp intentionally (you know, pull the battery when they say to not pull the battery) and it would kill the fw, then pandora would work.

When the 3.50 lumines hack came out, it was within 1 day that sony released 3.51 that blocked the security flaw. If sony could have done this, don't you think that they would have done it, a longgg time ago?

# don't get me wrong — ChaosX6 2008-07-14 18:37

I fully understand and I know Sony purposely allows cfw. We all know what they say to the press and release on their website but coming from a business stand point......I would allow cfw because of the intell we users of cfw send out onto the net. It's hard to explain but it a certainty that they allow cfw.

# I hope Team M33 make a 4.05M33 — Aphex85 2008-07-14 19:44

I know that this update doesn't have any major updates but it would be nice to have the new Vis. I use my psp alot for my mp3's and it's been bloody ages since that was updated. be a shame to have to wait till a major new feature is out before people using M33 can get that. Hopefully Dax and the team will make 4.05m33.

# . — Mister Common Sense 2008-07-14 23:29

I think the old 3.80 popstation still works.

# I also hope Team M33 makes a 4.05M33 — TerryS 2008-07-15 00:10

Well, this update does not have any meaning for all users but Japanese user. With Japan region setting, The OFW 4.05 provides new feature for TV function (One-Seg TV) such as a programable video recording upto 8 programs. (currently only 1). I think many of Japanese users are hoping for CFW 4.05M33.

# NO 4.05M33 COMING STOP ASKING FOR IT — dudash 2008-07-15 00:36

# Dont play with me "kasmo7" — jaygen 2008-07-15 05:09

call me what you want. i know team m33 is best but i still like team GEN better.

# Yep — ajnauron 2008-07-15 07:17

Remember, this is the method SONY uses to unbrick PSPs.

# That wouldn't make OFW SONY customers very happy — ajnauron 2008-07-15 07:21

SONY uses pandora to unbrick PSPs that people send to them. Therefore, pandora will always work and they won't block it. They don't have another way to unbrick.

# somebody better hurry up and make a cfw 4.05 — Act II 2008-07-16 09:02

i cant play psn downloaded videos on my psp until i update it to 4.05
