PS3 4.84 OFW To CFW 4.84 PS3Xploit Flash Writer + IDPS/Flash Dumpers v2.0.1

PS3Xploit 4.84 HFW NOR/NAND Flash Writer + IDPS/Flash Dumpers (v2.0.1)

A Huge PS3 exploit was recently restored on the console when the release of 4.84 HFW (hybrid firmware) was released to the scene. This paved the way to re-activate PS3Xploit Hacks (from 4.82) as this hybrid firmware was able to take the 4.82 webkit and inject into a 4.84 official firmware and then the key was able to still install on any PS3 model running any PS3 firmware,. So this became quite useful, out of the gate the HAN (etHANol) tools were updated and ready to go however the CFW Flash Writer and Flash / IDPS Dumper's needed some additional testing to ensure quality. I am pleased to announce the wait is now over and the team is now releasing the PS3Xploit Flash Writer and Flash/IDPS Dumping Tools which the important flash writer makes it possible to install a CFW from the 4.84 OFW once the hybrid firmware is installed., This exploit and tools were patched in 4.83 firmware but now is back and roaring in 4.84 and is sure to be patched again when 4.85 is released..
