Editing KaKaRoTo Kind of ´Jailbreak´

= How it all started =
   Updated my ps3 to 3.73... oh and THEN I jailbroke it! (kind of) :D

   1 - I won't share it until it's ready to use (still a bit complicated + some missing components), 2 - don't update if you're on 3.55.

   The "kind of" meant I need to fix NPDRM algo for it to run. And no, this will not allow backup managers. And no, it's not a CFW

== First Read ==
You might want to read this first: [http://kakaroto.homelinux.net/2011/11/clarifications-about-3-73-jailbreak/ Clarifications about 3.73 “jailbreak”]

In short: It means one wall taken, 2 others still intact:
   1) getting in   2) getting access/to run   3) takeover/modify systemfiles
What we call 'jailbreaking is actually more like breaking inside jail to revolt.

=== Q&A ===
Q: Will I need special hardware (e.g. flasher, dongle, modchip etc.)? <br />
A: No. <br />

Q: Will homebrew work? <br />
A: With <abbr title="Makeself NP-DRM signing">NPDRM</abbr> fixed, yes. Showtime would certainly be possible. <br />

Q: Will recent games play correct? <br />
A: Yes, its 4.x, sure it plays all 1.00 - 4.x games. <br />

Q: Will PSN work? <br />
A: Yes, its 4.x, sure goes online without problems. <br />

Q: Does it have Peek & Poke? <br />
A: No. Peek & Poke require modifying lv1 and lv2. <br />

Q: Do Backup manangers (e.g. [http://code.google.com/p/multiman/ MultiMAN], Rogero etc.) work? <br />
A: No, see previously answer about Peek & Poke. <br />

Q: Will my old homebrew still work? <br />
A: No. All homebrew need the fixed <abbr title="Makeself NP-DRM signing">NPDRM</abbr>. Homebrew that relies on specific other patched functions/syscalls (e.g. Peek&Poke, BDemu etc.) will not work either, see previously answer about Peek & Poke. <br />

Q: Does it gets us keys? <br />
A: No. <br />

Q: Does it gets us "CFW"/MFW? <br />
A: No. <br />

Q: Does OtherOS++ (Linux/FreeBSD) work? <br />
A: No. Sony removed OtherOS feature after 3.15 and OtherOS++ relies on modifying the firmware. See previous "CFW"/MFW question. <br />

Q: Will it allow downgrade? <br />
A: No. <br />

Q: Does it work on all PS3 models? <br />
A: Yes. all current models.<!--//including CECH-300.A/CECH-300.B with KTE-001 board//--> <br />

Q: Are there brick risks? <br />
A: No (standard disclaimer: It will be tested rigorously before release as you can expect from anything that KaKaRoTo has put his name on). <br />

Q: Will this only work on 4.x? <br />
A: No. It was pretested on 3.60 and again confirmed on 3.73 before any public Tweet about it. <br />

Q: What if Sony releases 4.x+ before release? <br />
A: In that case it will be pretested on that version. <br />

Q: So why are all the newssites hyping this that it does give CFW? <br />
A: Because they don't read wiki's/blog's xD Besides, every minor news gets 'prolly CFW soon!' tagged by the bad ones. <br />

Q: Is there a release date? <br />
A: No, besides KaKaRoTo not able to work on it for 2 weeks, it also relies on (other people) fixing <abbr title="Makeself NP-DRM signing">NPDRM</abbr>. <br />

''Note : asking how long until release, doesn't make it earlier (contrary even) ;)''
