where can i use that tool? what the situation?

 

[ErfanShinoda]

This is for Developers , Not for Users!

 

[spotanjo3]

I understand that it is for Developers, not for users but what does that mean ? We are able to run normal PKG for 6.72 jailbreak ? No more Fake pkg required ?

 

[redhatGizmo]

What does it improve over older Unfself.exe tool?

 

[EJAZ989]

may this will convert fpkg to retail pkg after rebuild there will be no tension to lose fpkg and most cases rebuild is must to speed up ps4 maybe for that or other reason

 

[Blackyz3]

So when this tool is arrived... There might be chances of reverse mechanism... To convert retail pkg to fpkg....

Than no more version dumping thing or new jb required... As we can simply backport it

 

[ansoftgames]

Ohhh is it true what you are saying?

 

[ZeHKarLuZ]

Cool, the scene is rising again

It's funny how the ETA WEN kids have already COMPLETELY mis-interpreted what this tool is and does.
