PSP: Custom Firmwares for Firmware 6.61 possible – Currently being updated!
Just a few days ago a new PSP firmware, version 6.61, has been released by Sony.
After taking the firmware apart, we were able to check if the firmware 6.61 patches the 6.60 exploits…
And it does not. All the signed content is still working (Homebrews, fake signed ISOs, sign_np signed ISOs) and so is the HBL, at least if you use the VHBL builds, instead of the old 6.60 XMB HBL build.
The most important things, the Custom Firmwares and the downgrader, are, as of now, not working on firmware 6.61.
But dont worry, it does not look like that the firmware 6.61 changed that much, which therefore means that the CFWs can easily be updated for firmware 6.61.
Through a few dirty tricks it is possible to install a cIPL CFW (those for the PSP 1000s & non-88v3 2000s) on firmware 6.61 as of now, but it is worth to mention that the 6.60 CFWs are not fully working on firmware 6.61.
The custom firmwares are currently being updated for the new firmware 6.61, so that a properly working 6.61 CFW can be released in near future.
It is currently unknown if the downgrader will be updated for firmware 6.61, but we think that someone will do it, eventually.
Can this firmware possibly be used to upgrade 6.60 TN-V in PS Vita?
No. TN would have to update TN-V to 6.61, for using TN-V on Vita FW 3.36 (since Vita uses PSPemu FW 6.61 as of Vita FW 3.36).
When is the custom firmware coming out for psp 6.61. Because i updated to 6.61 and I can’t play ISO game. Or is there another way of playing ISO games on 6.61.
Install the currently available PRO CFW or wait for the ME/LME CFW (done soon).
First * lol didn’t think it would take long good news 🙂
Damn it u just beat me stupid phone delay
why focus on the old psp??
why focus on people who focus on the old psp? 😀
more importantly, why focus on people who focus on a system that does not have any games AT ALL (ps vita)
this article is for the psp, if you would like updates about the waste of money ps vita, go to google and find ps vita threads.
I think this is a biproduct of updating for the vita psp games. The vita runs 6.60 so updating that they might as well roll out the update for psp consoles a well. Comments?
I would love to see axe doing culling blade on you in real life
Nice dota2 reference, dude.
Whatever…..
I know you play dota2 …let’s play 1v1 mid noob
Because beating someone in a game makes you sooo much better IRL…
Please, if I win 1v1 mid vs Davee, I rek you too.
hahahahahaha =P
Whats u r steam id
testing
Lmao I guess this is mainly for the vita emu. I would guess to block some exploits from tnv stopping the cfw in the emu in future releases idk tho. I’m not updating my vita there’s no point I’ll just enjoy the emus. Ps I like them on vita bc of the screen and buttons 😀
if memory serves psp e1000 aka street uses same update eboot as 1000 2000 3000 correct?
There are 2 Updaters:
One for the PSP Go, and one for the UMD-drive PSPs (X000 PSPs).
Z your downgrader are not work on PSP 3000 3g module
CAN CFW WORK on 6.61 as i have updated it and worried about my all games
READ THE FREAKING ARTICLE! As of this moment CFW is not working. But, updates are being worked on. It literally says all that in the freaking article. Read the damn articles, or expect people to *** you out!
any news about PS4 Jailbreak ?
Not yet. The CFWs (ME & PRO) need to be updated to be fully functional on 6.61. I tried installing 6.60 ME-2.3 a couple days ago while on 6.61 and it was a bad scene.
I take that back. Just saw that qwikrazor updated PRO for use with 6.61.
Still waiting for change on source code AND working compilation here : https://code.google.com/p/procfw/source/list 🙂
I wonder how you could see something that didn’t happen … last commit on the official PRO CFW was on Dec 16, 2014.
Ohh, you didn’t know. I have the gift of prophecy. However, that wasn’t really required to see that qwikrazor had posted the files on the forum at the time of my posting.
Let me see … it’s already 18th of January and there is still no commit on the OFFICIAL PROCFW page and there are no posts from qwikrazor on the OFFICIAL PRO forum. I dont know where do you get your info from but since there is no mention of this on the official channels it’s as good as fake.
@The Z:::: Hi Zett , i have many concerns , I have a ps vita running official firmware 3.35 , and i want to be able to put VHBL on it or hack it in some way , so i can play pokemon or something on it. I honestly dont know what the first step is to even go about this at all. My ps vita is clean without no hacks in it , i dont want to upgrade to the new sony official firmware 3.36. I need some help. If you can help me Zett i will be very greatful.
But so… if we know what is does to CFW, can we also know what it does for… PSP ? lol
Does it patches bugs ?
what about a playstationtv update so u can use it as
ubuntu server or win8 or win7 or mce machine
or even mac osx or any …
I have made every possible attempt to downgrade and install a CFW. At this point it is absolutely impossible. Don’t waste your time and wait until a CFW that is compatible with 6.61 comes out. .
However I CAN still access the Playstation Store, so I dunno.
Oh Snap! I think it’s out. Here is the link if anyone wants to try. http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=41219
nice adam
or dark one
but what about finally running otheros’s
like project4 and others ..
or more precisely different distro’s ?.?
When is the custom firmware coming out for psp 6.61. Because i updated to 6.61 and I can’t play ISO game. Or is there another way of playing ISO games on 6.61.
Why would you update? It’s not like there’s PSN or official multiplayer games anymore…
Dmaskell, PSN still exists on PSP. there was some confusion last year when they disabled the Store everywhere except the States.
Does not change that the 6.xx CFWs can still access the PSN + Online services without being on 6.61.
There is literally no reason to update from a 6.xx CFW to 6.61 OFW.
^ for real, Z? I can still activate stuff downloaded from PS3 (PSone Classics, Minis) while staying on 6.60ME-2.3?
Why my previous comment was not approved? It’s not like i said something that shouldn’t be said here.
Oh well whatever, i thought it was deleted. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Lol whyd u update
1) You can use sign_np.
2) Downgrader is here: http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=41227

Ge hhhhhhhhhhh
I hope Neur0n releases an update from his own 6.60 ME-1.8!
Rahim is updating 6.60 ME-2.3 to 6.61 ME-2.3, dont worry.
Thanks for your reply.
Well I’d rather it was Neur0n because he keeps the spirit of “minimum edition”. Aren’t the “unofficial” ME updates a bit bloated hmm..
has anything been tested on the psp 3000 series
Dont use it can’t be downgrade and you cant play the games
so basically my psp1001 on 6.61 is useless? Can not be hacked?
dear Z your downgrade dont work on psp 3000/3g module plz help
Okay, Z, please explain one thing to me…
I’m rather newbie with all this HBL etc., I just have been using it (along with gpSP-Kai) to play GBA games on my PSP. I had version 6.60 (both PSP and HBL) and it worked perfectly. Today, I wanted to transfer some games with MediaGO and saw the update for PSP. I was very surprised, downloaded and installed it automatically without thinking about any consequences. Now the HBL is dead, I mean, PSP turns off after loading it. In this article you mentioned about working VHBL… okay, but isn’t it for Vitas? I can’t find any VHBL for PSP! Please guide me through this dark path ^_^”
