Firmware 3.10 Available on US Network Update

i stopped depending on sony for new firmware i just wait for dark alex to release his new stuff.

well just about no one would update from DA's custom firmware to sony's real firmware, unless they wanted to use it for testing...like DA...

let's just hope DA's psp doesn't brick while trying to make a downgrader for 3.1 :P

I tried Dumping it but i am getting errors it needs a modified PSAR dumper

If that is true, I figure the updater checks the idstorage on the NAND flash of PSP with TA-082/86 motherboards. If there's been a modification in there not done by Sony, you're screwed.

Couldn't you just upgrade to an older version of Sony firmware, like 2.8, then continue from there up to 3.10?

Lol i guess sonys trying to say, my way or the highway =P, I have confidence that Dark Alex will come through with 3.1 OE, hopefully i wont have to reflash my gameboot, topmenu, and font *wink wink DA*...

I just hope Resident Evil 2 works =/

but if you think about it for a minuite. if anyone bricks while updating. they would just send off the brick to sony and they would install the latest firmware, which is what they were trying to do in the first place.

I really, really, really hope sony hasn't put in a bricker in this updater. They WILL have a legal case on their hands soon if they indeed do. Remb MS tried this about a month ago or so with their 360s? Yeah, about that. Sony will REALLY *^&% their consumer base if people hear about PSPs being bricked by sony.

Isn't the lack of homebrew punishment enough sony? If they have put in a bricker, then this will be one nail closer to sealing Sony's coffin...

I bet sony is the one who made the one trojan firmware in da first place.

BTW....Im sure DA has the UP mod in his PSP

Another useless firmware....unless they made the PS1 emulator better...

Hello firmware 3.10, can you play ALL PSX games?
Anything fun?
No?
Just more "security?"
You make me laugh

Yeah at a cost... Sony had an unbricking service for an update that was on a Sony site albeit out of public view (hackers found it and used it, ending up with bricks). I don't know how much Sony charged, but anyone thinking they're gonna get this done under warranty is sadly mistaken; as those other hackers weren't covered.

Now the question is, was this purposeful or unintentional?

It could have been unintentional on Sony's part. But if it was intentional, I think Sony may have a lawsuit to deal with.
