The latest P3Free compatible firmware files [2011-01-18]

[modpro]

Compatible with all current p3free [=PIC18Fxxxx(2455/2550/4455/4500)-12Mhz-ledG.A1.ledR.B1-USBHIDC18.Bootloader-MCLRE-noLVP] devices.

Bootloader
If you have the 'F' version or messed up your bootloader then you need to install the usbhid bootloader on your device.
Attached is the P3Free bootloader hex file (Bootloader_USBHIDC18_P3Free_V1.0_12MHz_BTL-pin1_MCLRon_LVPoff_F0_Version.hex) which reflects the 'F0' firmware.
You need to hardflash this hex file by using a pic programmer. See hardflash instructions here
After installing the bootloader continue with the hex of choice using softflash (usb).

Latest hex files

For softflash (usb upgrade) use the P3Free Updater. It contains the latest hex files, so no need to download them unless the tool is out of sync with the latest available hex files.

iLLNESS is now the main source for fully P3Free compatible hex files, see this post (iLLNESS's PSGrooPIC Hexes and Information Thread) for the latest and future updates

use the right selector to enter the BTL mode, it's almost UNIVERSAL.

MODPRO:
Can you update with the last HEX compatible with p3free, the PSGroove V3 Hermes+Waninkoko+Mathieulh (FIX)

Quick question, can i use a ps3break 1.1 Hex file (1.4b) or a generic hex, like the main.hex ilness's 1.0a ??
