Hacking Firmware 4.1 Released

[sarkwalvein]

I hadn't updated to 4.1, was still on 4.0. Just tried it, and it opens up a menu that had 3 options: Update the system, Initialize data (without deleting saves) and Initialize System (deletes everything). I just updated from there. I didn't notice it doing anything funny with the battery though.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

You have to hit reboot and then hold the vol-, vol+ and power/sleep button until the maintenance menu appears.

It was a joke (about the battery).
I wonder if they finally added support for Bluetooth headphones.

The maintenance menu is not what was initially being referred to. It was/is a supposed USB debug mode. A spinning loading thingy and a progress bar would appear on screen.

Just to clarify, it does not patch it on 4.1.0 it still launches the load screen for a few seconds and then boots to home menu
