Toggle Flash2 / Flash3

[ab88]

This is old... Booster's USB SSS can already toggle flash2/flash3 and more, and was released a few months ago.

Booster's USB SSS provided access to flash0, flash1, UMD0 and USB mass storage. However it did not allow access to Flash2 and Flash3. It was well known they where there. But not many had put much time into finding what they where for, or if access was possible.

As far as I know, sleep mode saves everything in the RAM. As for the wallpaper; can't you find this in flash0 when you set one?

Flash1

Exactly what i was going to say! This is based on that, but allows write access...

You're only an hour late.

Booster's USB SSS allowed access to flash0, flash1, UMD0 and USB mass storage. However it did not allow access to any of these.

Ummmmm, what? "It allowed access. However it did not allow access." ????

Sounds like a nice find.

then if you own a mac, you now have an alternative XD (seeing that the MACos X writes files when browsing...)

Now I'm curious
I wonder if it'll be used for future Custom firmware releases...Cause isn't the Flash 0/1 running out of space with every new OE release?

What feature was REMOVED by Dark_AleX using OE custom firmware? It was the Location Free player right? I thought I remember that something had to be taken out in order to fit everything. If anyone knows what, if anything was taken out when installing OE custom firmware, I'd like to have my memory refreshed.

Thanks!

hmmm. very interesting indeed, i hope its something that future firmware will use... i wonder if the new slim one has more internal memory capacity.....

I wouldn't store personal files in Flash2 and Flash3. Chances are they are used for something, perhaps Flash3 is used when you go into standby mode...

I wouldn't mess with them until more research is done as to what they do.

it stores everything in RAM/ms when sleeping.

"flash" storage is ment for a firmware's guts. 2 / 3 obviously havent been used yet. most likely will be next update tho, since F0 is 99.5% full w/ 3.40

this is cool but... im gonna wait and see what other people find out about it before i tamper with mine

[jamotto]

I thought flash2 was used by sony's psone emulator?

This is a pretty interesting find so cudos to the dev. Definitely need to look into this more. Anyone know how long they have been there?(3.10 and up?) This may be the key everyones been looking for to downgrade some of the newer firmwares (Hopefully!)
