It may be 3 months after the release of Open Beta 1, but I've finally discovered the cause of all the brickings in that version, and what doesn't supprise me in the least is that it was down to user error. With Open Beta 1 3.52M33 was still a rather popular firmware, and back in Open Beta 1 days (much like now) people were to damn lazy to read the readmes. Well in the readmes was an important factor which many people most likely missed, Project4 needs to be run in the 3.XX kernel, otherwise it skips some important patches made by Dark_AleX, this, as proved, can lead to devistating effects.

So whats to be learned from this seemingly pointless file? Read the readmes or risk getting a paperweight for a console. Simple as. Oh, and its possibly not a good idea to run this from the recovery menu in firmwares under 3.60, as that would run it in the 1.50 kernel.
