Don't know what to put instead of Sony's Network Update? Well, here's a nifty program that automatically downloads Dark Alex's latest Open Edition Firmware!
Instructions:
-Flash update_plugin.prx using the flash update.
-Make sure your first connection is active and working..
-Use Network Update
-UPDATE.rar should be in the MS root after the download is complete.
Warning:
This has a risk of bricking when using FLASHUPDATE. I am not responsible for any damage that may happen to your device.
Note:
You can also flash using Flash0 USB mode in Open Edition. (vsh/nodule)
