Hello World! I've been reporting on Sony PlayStation hacking news since 2000 and started PSXHAX in 2014 to cover PlayStation (PSX), PlayStation 2 (PS2), PlayStation 3 (PS3), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PlayStation Portable (PSP), PlayStation Vita (PS Vita), PlayStation TV (PS TV) and next-gen PlayStation 5 (PS5) platforms along with anything else of interest.

To quote from LizZo via @dodero4who is also a Moderator at CyberModding.it that passed along this news to us: PS3 Custom Firmware FERROX 4.82 Standard v1.01
As promised, we update the version of this CFW developed by our Developer Alexander. In v1.00 of the FERROX Standard Custom Firmware, slight shortcomings had been noted. So now the cleanest CFW to go online is stable and accurate. Version then updated to v1.01.
You will all know the standard version of the FERROX now, but in case you are new to the world of Jailbreak and CFW, know that this is the safest CFW to avoid a Ban from the online game console. This Firmware contains only the Patches needed to be a complete CFW, but still modest. If you need more features, you can fall back to the COBRA version of the FERROX.
This is only a Fix version, but it is recommended to install it to get everything precise and fully functional. Let's see the features, even if you have memorized them.
CHANGELOG v1.01:
Fix missing icons in XMB.
Fix DRM PSP & Fix PSX - Now the PSP and PSX PKGs start without problems.
FEATURES:
Built on the base of OFW 4.82 SONY.
PSN / SEN Enabled.
Ability to Update from any CFW (CEX).
Possibility to Update from OFW 3.55.
Possibility of Downgrade from any CFW with active QA Flags.
QA Flags active if previously enabled.
FEATURE - Compatibility with the latest version of ReactPSN.
FEATURE - RSOD Screen Bypass for Consoles affected by RSOD.
