Custom Firmware 3.72-HX Released!

[wraggster]

Via PSP Hacks

A new custom firmware for Fat/Slim PSPs! Based on the original developments by Dark_AleX & Team M33 has been released, the coder is _HellDashX_’s and called 3.72 HX.

Judging by Google’s poor translation of Spanish to English, there isn’t much new… Other than the fact it uses Sony’s latest 3.72 kernel. If you decide to upgrade, it’s likely some 3rd party PRX modules may stop working. Also, you’ll lose 1.50 kernel capabilities until a new patch is released.

Installation:

Download the update package below;
Download the 3.72 firmware update EBOOT;
Rename EBOOT.PBP from the 3.72 update to 372.PBP;
Copy 372.PBP, EBOOT.PBP (from the 3.72 HX package), and umodule.prx to PSP/GAME/UPDATE on your memory stick;
Launch the updater from the XMB;
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Perhaps someone will provide a properly translated version of the readme, soon…

Before anything, Dark_Alex deserves enormous appreciation.
Thanks to him for learning a great deal about reverse engineering.
After analyzing all the code of 3.71 CF m33-2 (We can demonstrate for those that have doubts.),
and after knowing Dark_Alex did not plan on releasing a 3.72 CF. I decided to adapt 3.71 m33-2 to 3.72.
There were barely any changes to this firmware (5 different addresses to patch by vshctrl.prx in some modules of vsh, and some other things.), so the only thing was adapt the code of 3.71 to this.

The updater I use for this process is the same one DAX made for 3.71 (also I reversed the whole thing, all the components, so all the code of the updater is mine taken by reverse and tested in my fat and slim).
It does not include 1.50 compatibility, there should be no problem installing it, the DAX program only works with 3.71 because it checks the firmware version (confirmed, if anybody has doubts this is fw 3.72 you can run the DAX 1.50 installer and see that it won’t run)
I am reversing it, (I am almost have it complete), if I reverse and have time I will make a patch for this.
INSTALLATION
Put the eboot and umodule.prx in the folder PSP/GAME/UPDATE, paste the official 3.72 eboot named 372.PBP in this folder and launch the program.
Sony’s code will run installing firmware 3.72, and when asked press X to restart IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO PRESS X, DO NOT TURN OFF THE PSP MANUALLY! Explanation, in the moment you press X the umodule.prx will do its job installing the files of CF in the flash, and then the system will restart.
If you don’t press X, you will brick for sure(explanation, Sony updater will only flash the IPL to 99%, but the modified updater also installs an IPL custom block, which in the start try to load x files if they are not there will produce a brick).
Tested on a PSP fat 3.71 m33-1 and 3.71 m33-2 and also in a Slim with the same CF.
Thanks to DAX for the original code (and the fun I had with it) and Coolj for testing my update code and the fixes in 3.71 m33-2 for the 3.72.

PS. Like always all flashes have their risks, so DO UNDER YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY

Well either this guy is the next dax or he is dax. Im not gonna even try guessing this time I learned my lesson with team M33.

[Nikolaos]

I do not reccomend upgrading to this.

[Buddy4point0]

yeathanks. but ima stick with 3.71 m33 for now

[gamefreak199101]

yea i hope dark_alex comes out with 3.72m33 soon

[YourBandSucks]

Well i do like to display support for developers and stuff, but im a little shaky when it comes to cfws or anything that involves my flash0 in any way. If i see positive responses from others, and good support, and not many bugs with it, i shall really consider in upgrading

Dark Alex already said he's not giving us anymore custom firmwares so don't anyone get there hopes up about it yet. If he does then we will all have to consider ourselves lucky. I think that whoever put this out may or may not possibly have ties to DAX in some fashion otherwise it wouldn't be here. Use it with extreme caution and remember no 1.50 kernel implementations yet either. At the same time I am glad to see someone is working on it.

[Bobtentpeg]

you realize all he had to do to make this 3.72 was make it hex the vshctrl to make it read 3.72 HX-1

the 371 and 372 kernels and the same, and after testing this, the 2 new features for 372 are not present and the internal POPs loader doesnt work, even ith games boght from the PS3 network. And no plugins and many of the recovery mode settings do not work
