Coldbird leaves the scene after his Vita kernel exploit leaked

Welp this Is typical for the scene like with the whole “GEN” (custom firmware  developers for PSP) incident and the releasing of the Monster Hunter Portable 3rd patch. Their was basically a In development for the and was actually loading ISO’s (there Is videos of this on youtube) and then! that CFW’s files fell into the wrong hands.

The CFW files originally belonged to a coder that went by the name of , the exploit was originally given to a very private group of beta testers. And then!…by a guy that has strong social networking skills that goes by the name of Sam (How ordinary) and found their way to the files and decided to take them totally public. But don’t get your pants sucked in to your butt crack just yet, just keep In mind that this does not mean you can load ISO’s yet, the kernel exploit IS encrypted very heavily. has quit the scene but this Isn’t the first time he quit, he also quit before PRO-C CFW was released.

Comment by Wololo:

Some files containing a User mode exploit in , as well as a Kernel exploit (that still has to be reverse engineered) were leaked by a youtube user named Sam Jordam. This guy was a known a##hole for some time already, and has proven to be up to his reputation. The files he stole then leaked are encrypted and not usable for anybody in their current state. One of the only persons who could have helped with this, famous hacker Coldbird, decided to leave the scene after this. There is so far one can go for the love of homebrews.

 

And a new -related user mode exploit that may or may not be able to allow  the running of VHBL on Sony’s newly-released 1.81 firmware. The title of this Is called Urbanix. So If you had any sense at all you would grab this before the exploit becomes “famous” to everyone.

       Do you see 2 topics about this? no…no you don’t. This was posted yesterday, and the news came out all over the net 2 days ago. Just trying to get this site all the news even know this is late at least that everyone that comes to the site knows. Which means It really wasn’t necessary too have posted that.

      • Snake2243

         now i feel like a dick, sorry man, i wont post retarded stuff like that again.

    • Ntj

      Troll like you don’t belong in this forum.  Go cry somewhere else about your late news.  Better yet go create your own forum.  

      • Snake2243

         noot,noot motherfucker

      • Snake2243

         y u mad bro?

  • Skars

    I’ve seen this news only now, and Urbanix is available at PSN.
    Does it have been patched?

  • Skars

    Tried the file posted below and PS Vita look at it as a “corrupt file” and refuse to transfer.
    Anyone confirm it works?

    • skylinekid17

      This exploit was not fully finished….If I may; I quote Wololo…

      “The files he stole then leaked are encrypted and not usable for anybody in their current state.”

      So it won’t work. I suggest holding off on this because it may damage your PS Vita system.

  • Skars

    Now I see that is only EU version…. can’t create/login at EU PSN.

  • Seveb

    Welp?

    • skylinekid17

      I thinking the “Welp” is referring to an “UhOh” as to clearly state this was a huge mistake that was unexpected.  =/

      • Seveb

        Ok thanks. My english isnt well. I literally spent all night trying to figurw out what welp means.

      • Chingywingwang

        I’ll keep that In mind lol

  • skylinekid17

    Just my after thought…(because it already occurred but feel free to agree or disagree and keep it clean in response- I don’t curse).

    Should’ve given the beta testers something fake to test first to prove loyalty…Consider testing the testers. For now I’m comfortable buying my PS Vita games. Just recently I’ve been thinking about when a Kernel exploit would be announced…Wasn’t hoping for this being announced that a Kernel exploit has be leaked* and the coder quitting the scene all in one day!

    Coldbird ‘quitting’ the scene shows he was not using the kernel exploit for anything else other than first testing out a CFW and then placing a limit on what it can do (atleast that is what I would expect if the Vita wants to live out it’s legacy).

    Honestly the PSP died because no one was buying the games but downloading them thus Sony stopped including features that should’ve been included….such as online play. I only got games that had no online or infrastructure mode because to me a game without online multiplayer isn’t worth buying but the ones with online I supported by buying the games. I also bought a few offline games like Gran Turismo, Gran Theft Auto. Mostly got stuck playing Socom FTB2 online and had to battle off against people who cheated when I was once a “noob” (just an example of my usage of CFW which I was able to make HD videos off my gameplay online.)

    All I want from the PS Vita is a secondary monitor (something like remote joy on the PSP) so gameplay can be recorded and post on YouTube.

      Actually Coldbird left the Vita scene and not the PSP scene(Check his blog for more info) and the reason for quitting is because of a possible lawsuit from Sony… TN has balls for releasing 6.60 TN-A CFE i can tell you that…

      The PSP didn’t die coz of the piracy but Sony’s own doing look at the Vita now how many games are there for the Vita. Remember the PSP Go with no UMD slot? that didn’t turn out well didn’t it…

      And plus Coldbird did not give the cfw files to Sam Jordam directly but one of the mods/vips carelessly did (not gonna name him coz I still respect this guy).

  • Tiago2394

    question:i have urbanix, if i run the exploit on it will it be safe to update when there’s a new version

  • Ntj

    Cuz dickhead like the 2 guys below me.  Devs are quitting the scene.  The admin should ip ban fucker like them.  You should learned to respect how and when Admin want to post news.  Fucking troll.  Go create your own forum for all I care.  There you can post asap about breaking news.
