This is a custom firmware that lets to have in a single flash the advantages of firmware 1.50 and 2.71 at the same time.

Homebrew can be run on both kernels, the 1.50 one and the 2.71 one, letting almost all current homebrew to work on the 1.50 kernel, and 2.71 homebrew compatible with HEN C in the 2.71 kernel.

Note: the installer writes to FLASH0. I'm not responsable of any damage of what happens, since this software is provided free and without warranty. TA-082 users cannot use this because a 1.50 bootstrap is needed to boot the system patched.

At the moment, there is only installer for 1.50, although it could be easily ported to whatever firmware with kernel access such as 2.60 and 2.71, but at the moment i prefer not to doing it to avoid TA-082 using it and bricking their psp's.

Note that this package DOES NOT contain any illegal material. The user has to provide the 1.50 and 2.71 updaters pbp's to legally generate the DXAR file used for the flashing.

Read the readme, too long to copy it here.

Downloading right now.

Just to clarify, you'll need 1.5 in order to flash this.

From the readme:

Quote:
Known problems, remarks, etc
----------------------------

- "I tried, for some reason, to run a sce updater and it gives me a weird "DADADADA" error.
Running a sce updater can be dangerous, and because of that is disabled, and it will give you that
custom error code of mine.

- "I receive a weird error "98765432" when setting the language to Korean, Chinese traditional or
Chinese simplified". This is done on purpose, setting the language to those 3, which don't exist in 1.50,
can be dangerous for the 1.50 bootstrap, and therefore, they are disabled.

- Using the restore default parameters is not recommended. It won't brick your psp since it can
be recovered with recovery mode, but still, not recommended

- The game menu says that "There is no games". Probably you renamed your game folder to game150, but you didn't
create a new game folder. Even if you don't plan to use 2.71 homebrew, the folder GAME must exist, even if
if it is empty.

Wow, it takes forever to extract the 2.71 stuff. I'm still at the step where it extracts the files from the eboot.

And KXploit does work.

This is Extremely good news, but what about playing my legit backed up games from my MS now? cos it says in the readme that devhook can't function in 2.71 because it is emulating 2.71 aswell, or sumthing like that, it was just confusing to me but could someone help me here before i flash the custom firmware

im ready to update but im here: - Copy the generated DATA.DXAR file at 271seflasher directory.
This file, at release SE-A, should have ALWAYS the MD5 8E59FAAA97F526F8EC723D1B7 7700C2B
and SHA-1 15151DA906DAE508AABC668CA 2FC65D9B541F02B

do i have to check something?

No, I got that free porn thing to. I didn't click on it, but I'm guessing it goes to Dark_AleX's blog or something to that extent.

Oh Lord, I got freaked out for a minute.

I started flashing the files, and when writing 2.71 it froze at 10% for like, 5 seconds. I thought it bricked or something, but after a few seconds it started going again.

Run the DATA.DXAR file through a MD5/SHA-1 checker and it should give you those exact numbers (do a search on some shareware/freeware sites).

I had custom firmware installed and SE installed just fine.

But for some reason I still get corrupt icons and I have the config file set to hide corrupt icons.
