This morning Joonie86 posted another update to the Public Beta of Habib 4.75 COBRA, noting that he pushed some COBRA7.1 updates today. WebMAN-MOD was removed from this build because people were complaining about their fans running louder as it tried to extend the life of their PS3 by keeping it cooler than default. WebMAN-MOD can still be installed via traditional means, however it will no longer auto-load if you manually place it at /dev_flash/vsh/module/webftp_server.sprx
Feature List & Changelog:

COBRA v7.10 ADDED

HOW TO CHECK IF YOU NEED PS2 ISO LAUNCHER OR NOT: Fat models namely cecha/b/c/e they dont need iso launcher for ps2 and they can run from disc icon without losing controller sync, for others they need ps2 iso launcher and tut can be found here:

CHANGES IN V4:

• webMAN MOD has been removed for public beta builds [due to too many people dislike having a pre-loaded webMAN trying to help cooling ps3 with loud noises]

• fixed the issue with netserv with multiMAN [mmCM] causing 800 error when mounting games

• fixed the issue with blocking syscall 11 causing issues with some of those habib’s homebrew that using syscall 11 [ex) habib's qa toggle

• Improved PSX region/video setting bypass [conditional patches done in game_ext_plugin], this should fix the issue with video setting that prevents loading PSX games with different region.

CHANGES IN V3: 
Changes in this release since V3 sample version.
-webMAN is removed for the public beta release [Originally included in V3 sample for private testing]
If you’d like to remove “webMAN GAME” in XMB if that’s still shown, look for the fb.xml located in this path “/dev_hdd0/xmlhost/game_plugin/fb.xml” Delete the fb.xml to completly remove “webMAN GAME” However, you can easily install webMAN with webMAN 1.41.01 installer pkg.
Change notes in V3 since the sample V2. 

• fixed the issue with ps2netemu working properly on BC consoles and Semi BC consoles, however do not use ps2 classic launcher with mounted ISO as it will make issues on BC Consoles/Semi BC consoles. Non-BC console users can ignore this as this does not affect the result.  

• Removed the unnecessary original ps2_netemu.self.swap for swapping as this is not needed anymore due to the change no.1  

• mysis’s game_ext_plugin patch added to ignore SFO check for remote play *Make Remote Play SFO Flag obsolete http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Patches#Make_Remote_Play_SFO_Flag_obsolete  

• Changed image version to 99999 to fix the issue with PUP installation on XMB For some reason, it was impossible to install this CFW over previous HABIB 4.75 on BC/Semi-BC consoles Changing the image version fixed the problem.

Change notes in V2 since the sample V1.  

• fixed the issue with pspiso playback due to missing hash checks for HABIB/FERROX in COBRA source  

• fixed the issue with category xml by replacing it with old one that was used in HABIB 4.70 COBRA 1.01  

• added debug payload for devs [dev_flash/sys/stage2.bin.debug], if you want to use this payload simply replace it with stage2.bin otherwise stage1 inside lv2kernel won’t mount the payload on boot.

• disabled epilepsy message on boot, so it boots up faster http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Patches#disable_epilepsy_message

[RELEASE] PLAYERKP420 4.75 v1.01 CFW

I am happy to share my 4.75 v1.01 CFW. Unlike my v1.00, this was not made with MFW Builder. I started by extracting OFW 4.75, and making all the necessary patches with HxD and Notepad++.
More info on how to do this yourself, will be in a guide I am still working on. That new guide will also include how to add Cobra 7.10 to yours or anyone’s CFW or MFW. 
A few files I did use that were already patched. Those were the Cinavia patched files from Habib’s 4.75 v1.00. Also, I used the category_game.xml from one of my MFW Builds.
My CFW has been tested with both NOR models and a couple NAND models (Thanks @bubbadog1 and @atreyu187 for testing on CECHA01 and CECHB01 models.)(NOR models tested by me – CECHH01, CECHK01, CECHL01, CECH-2001A, CECH-2001B, CECH-2101B, CECH-2501A, CECH-2501B).
Latest multiMAN and Webman mod work great, after installing mamba prx loader. (watch the video below to see how)
All seems fine and stable, but as usual with any CFW : Use it at your own Risk.

This CFW can be installed fine like a normal System Update from XMB over OFW 3.55 and lower, or any CFW version.
(Always make sure to remove any disc from the drive and/or unmount any game first, so you don’t accidentally update to OFW.)
HDD can be swapped/changed and the CFW will re-install without any problem.
Patch LV0 LDRS & SPU to disable ECDSA checks Patched LV1 to disable LV2 Protection.Patched LV1 & LV2 to add peek/poke support.Patched LV1 Core OS Hash Check (to prevent Bricking on non-dehashed downgraded consoles) QA Flag can be enabled by usings Habib’s standalone qa pkg. Even if never been enabled on 3.55. If already enabled, qa extra options will appear with button combo
. (After enabling the qa token on a PS3 that was not enabled on 3.55, you may need to reboot the PS3 before downgrading from XMB. Otherwise might get an error code.) RSOD screen bypass patch for RSOD machines (it won’t fix the RSOD but allows the PS3 to boot fine into XMB),
PSN/SEN access is available but it’s not recommended, without using PSNPatch correctly. It can run games signed with Keys up to version 4.75 without any Eboot/Sprx patching needed .
Added XMB InGame ScreenShot Feature.Patch VSH to allow running of unsigned applications Patch VSH to implement ReactPSN v2.0Cinavia Disabled for HDD, BDMV, & BDVD content Thanks @Habib.
The CFW can be used for Downgrading with Hardware flashers, by either noFSM Method or FSM Method.Patch to disable (not just replace), the warning screen that is show on boot since FW 4.00, no longer delays the VSH boot process.Changed coldboot logo to Playerkp420 logo.
Changed default “Air Paint” theme to IronMan theme . Changed XMB Waves to Purple to Green v2, from @zapptheman guide here.
