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

A: No. It was pretested on 3.60 and again confirmed on 3.73 before any public Tweet about it.

A: No, besides KaKaRoTo not able to work on it for 2 weeks, it also relies on (other people) fixing NPDRM.
