_HellDashX_ has just released custom firmware 3.72 HX-2 and Dark_Moon has released a 1.50 Kernel addon for it. These are two separate files from two seperate developers by the way.

Changed in 3.72 HX-2:

Quote:

* Contains the latest 3.71 M33-3 changes.
* The file vshctrl.prx IS NOT the one from Dark_AleX,It's coded by me after reversing it 100%.
* The exported functions from the vshctrl.prx are the same like the 3.71 M33-3 SDK,plus two more:
* int vctrlVSHEraseIsoCache(con st char* path) -> Lets you erase the cache from an iso created by the CF.
* If the parameter is empty "",it will erase the whole cache,not just from one iso.
* The iso cache will not be created in the memorystick.It will be in the flash1.I made this function to test stuff faster.Gives a 0 if it deletes correctly else it will give -1.
* int vctrlVSHMakeCFDirs() -> Lets you create the custom firmware directories,in case you dont have them (GAME150,GAME372...) in the memstick. Good if you have a pandora memstick and cant format the ms but dont want to create all directories by hand.
* Only one vshctrl.prx for both psp models.In 3.71 M33-3 and others there was a vshctrl for the fat and an other one for the slim because they have slight changes.This new vshctrl will detect if you got SLIM or FAT.
* Other non important changes in the code.

Instructions for the 1.50 addon:

Quote:

1. When you have installed the firmware 3.71 m33 and the kernel addon download this file and open MS_ROOT. Then copy the PSP folder to the root of your memory stick.
2. Run the app, and press Square. Now the program will start to dump the addon. The dump is on ms0:/psp/game/update/km. Copy the km folder to your hd.
3. Install 3.72 HX. Later copy again the PSP folder that contain this app to the root of your memory stick.
4. Connect the USB (Flash0) and copy the backup done before in the root of the flash0. Run de app again and press X. It will copy the reboot150.prx and all will be done!

I posted the instructions for the Kernel addon because they require a bit more thinking than the Dark_AleX firmwares. If you do not understand these instructions either post for help or do not install this firmware. There is a possibility of bricking if you mess up.

Disclaimer: PSP3d is not responsible if you brick because of poor judgment or lack of knowledge of how to install this.

From what I hear this is a stable release and fixes many bugs from 3.72 HX-1.

For those of you who upgrade to this firmware and wish to return to 3.71 M33 or any other Custom Firmware:

Gdspsp noted that the PSP slim can not go to version 1.50. So the only way I can think of to remove 3.72 HX-2 is to use the Pandora Battery and install 3.60 M33.

Yea it is a legit CFW and nice!

But the thing is when u update to this you can't just downgrade directly to CFW 3.71 M33. You first hav to downgrade to 1.5 using the 1.5 downgrade on the 3.72 HX-2 then upgrade to 3.52 CFW and then back to 3.71 M33. Just in case some of you guys were wondering bout that.

if you have to d/g to 1.5, how does a slim d/g with the Hx cfw? I think only the phat can do that. right?

I am not sure. Maybe you can use the Pandora battery to install.

gdspsp · #7 (**permalink**) 11-18-2007, 11:48 PM

dq9... that probably is the only way a slim owner may be able to "get out " of that f/w. unless another update will let one go official f/w through a recovery mode????

Good point. They can use the Pandora Battery to downgrade to 3.60 M33.

Hi there. So my problem is that I don't have another psp with CFW 3.71 addon 1.5...So how do I get the flash0 from an 3.71 CFW? And don't know anyone that does.

What firmware is your PSP on? You can't just upgrade to this custom firmware from any random firmware (although that would be nice) - your PSP needs to be on 1.5. Many firmwares have purely software-based downgrades to get to 1.5, but some require a Pandora's Battery.
