PSP Official Firmware 6.37 incoming
Update 2: It’s been confirmed that the sukkiri exploit, and most likely the Kernel exploit used in the Hen have been patched. It’s also been confirmed that we can still run signed homebrews on 6.37.
Update 1: firmware 6.37 is now available and can be found here. Do not upgrade until further notice, if you still want to use homebrews!
Sony’s Eric Lempel announced today the upcoming firmware 6.37 for the PSP. This update will “improve system software stability during use of some features”, a.k.a. patch the Kernel exploit used in the Hen, and probably the sukkiri exploit too. (how about the recent signing stuff?)
If you use your psp for homebrews, I don’t recommend to upgrade your system until more information is available.
source Playstation blog, thanks to David N. for the tip!
When are they going to give up…
maybe this update has a eboot list…..??????
they should try and stop the PS3 if they can and give up on the PSP
I bet dozens of people will upgrade even though wololo advises not to do so, and later will come crying and asking: Hen, HBL, something for 6.37??
They get high by updating XD……….
They’ll upgrade and then blame it on Wololo
Everybody’s Sukkiri savedata exploit (Patched) Kernel Exploit (???) Signed Hoembrew (Works OK)
Theyre updating to play phantasy star portable demo online LOL
When I was updating my psp version?the battery drop out and my psp become a brick.Does it has any possible stratage to recovery it??I mean will the Pandora battery come true in the future??
No, send your psp to Sony’s repair center, that’s what they are here for.
yeah?Thank you all the same.I don’t have the guarantee card?so?you know?it is only the brick…hey?would you like to receive it?
Thanks for the offer, but I’m not a hardware hacker, so I wouldn’t know what to do with it. One suggestion: sell the parts on ebay, you might almost get even on your money. Sell the screen, etc… separately..kind of a pain, but a good way to get some of the money back.
I update to 6.37 because im stupid…no i didn’t 😛 I’m happy with my 6.35 PRO(but im still looking forward for the downgrader so i could us TN hen)
thats odd. i could still go to PSN even with 6.35. maybe a delay update for PSN 😀
@spider-monkey: Sony always gives us a few days before they make the update compulsory for PSN access.
Another useless update? >_>
….i’ll stick with the awesome hens sony
I think they have too much to patch in OFW so they should name it v 7.00 rather than 6.37 🙂
signing homebrewz wasnt patched wololo =)

“Just to confirm, you can still “sign” things for 6.37″
damn and i just found out about the 6.35 PRO yesterday and they went did this may update a 1001 i got and see if the pro works on it lol and re downgrade it again
just as i said sony cant go whith out a fight…
use MediaGo
I hope developers found a way (keys) to activate the kernel mode, that would fix it all in this new OFW
any news about version 6.2?
yet another useless ofw from SOWNED NEE
does this mean no more phantasy star portable 2 online??
lol sony’s getting owned by hackers XD
Does that mean that the signing thing is unpatchable ?! Or is it because Sony is too lazy to make a whitelist for its official things ?!!
I think whitelisting applications have some legal issue’s. Thats why they din’t added this yet.
i signed promethethus iso loader and it doesnt trow up an error it jsut goes straight back to the xmb, any one know a fix?
when they put the new version and dont can sign in store use the psn lover plugin he run in 6.35 PRO here
also for anyone else who has updated if you sign deadalous n64 emulator (all credit goes to the guy who makes it) it can run on 6.37
oh and theres also a already signed officail version aswell
@DizzyLikesWhiteGirls
I think YouTube was the biggest one for a lot of PSP owners.
I remember before I had a PSP, when they added the web browser and a lot of PSP owners asked for Flash Player in the console to run YouTube videos and Sony added Flash 6 but without the video playing/streaming functionality for no apparent reason.
and on the ebook reader, I’m surprised they haven’t tossed one in the PSP yet being that they entered the business.
I use media go and I downloaded all my stuff when I bought them and I knew there would be a time that I couldn’t re-download my purchased content without an update so I backed up all my stuff with the serials to an external hard drive so I wouldn’t need to download them from psn ever again.
@Morfin I’m pretty sure there’s already a PSNfuck of sorts.
Using official “Version 6.35”, I can’t get into any of my online games or the PSN store… but with the newest XMB-loading Hen “6.35 PRO” I can still play Phantasy Star Online and access the PSN store.
I just checked and it’s all still valid. So even if you don’t update, you’re not losing your online capabilities.
cat hack hes working on 6.20tn-c and 6.35 tn-a atm why would u ask him for another homebrew itll be a foreevr war besides we arleady got a bunch of homebrews for ofw and 6.35 pro why would u update anyway wololo said not to 🙂
I want TN-C ..huhuhu…anywayz is harvest moon boy and girl able to play in open idea iso loader?in prometheus, it is signed but hangs up..
@crackers
how do you know tn is working on 6.35 hen a?
Um, you know, you can always load a .txt file from your memory stick in the PSP Internet Browser.
You just need to type it in this format in the address bar:
file:\\\FolderName\TextFileName.txt
Sony didn’t fail on that part, even though it’s a lesser-known feature. Works with small SWFs and most HTML documents, as well.
That’s not a reasonable facsimile. No bookmarks, no quick and easy navigation or formatting options… and even if you do try to take it seriously (which I have tried to do before out of desperation) it leads you to the obligatory “Out of Memory” issue that PSP’s Web Browser is (in)famous for.
Sony simply failed on delivery when it comes to the media functionality, there’s not even any room for discussion, debate or objectivity on that subject. Even as a picture viewer, you’re extremely limited in what you can view before it craps out and labeling hi-res files as “corrupt” simply because their software won’t read it.
It’s not even a hardware limitation because I’ve had crappy nokia phones with worse specs than the PSP that handle my multimedia like a champ… even with 4MB ram.
and the battle goes on….
ive got 2 words for u Sony GIVE UP
how many “ofw” have u released that havent been cracked yet?
NONE
thats right cry in the corner while u ‘lose’ money cause people are using homebrew
yeah a company trying to protect their profits. Sony is so stupid /sarcasm
I wish people would listen to what they are saying
@asmith906: Sony should decide if they are a hardware manufacturer, a content distributor, or a software company.
The concern right now is that they are trying to be all 3 at the same time, which leads to major conflict of interest, and is extremely bad for the customer (they basically lock the whole distribution system, preventing fundamental software freedom, interoperability, legal use of your hardware, etc…).
Note that they are not the only ones trying to do that.
im pretty sure coldbird’s hen has that as a feature
i was using psn with no problems on 6.30
i think it’s the same for 6.35
get the signed 6.35 hen and use it!!!
I upgraded to 6.37….HBL for 6.37…?
LOL, NOT. Would it even matter? The signing process can’t be patched, and I’m sure someone’s already working on signing Prometheus.
New Update!!!!
One click signer!!!!

@Enigma Prometheus needs to be in Kernal Mode to run Isos or else you will be kicked to the XMB.
signed Eboots can be easily patched by changing the signature used to sign ebooots thus making signed Homebrews and older eboots unplayable(maybe make some work arounds for Offcial eboots).
