About the naming of Shop FW. Terms like "SEX" are just pseudonyms, shop firmwares are technically CEX firmwares, they only work on ps3s with a retail (CEX) Product Codes, and the term "shop" is only mentioned in the index.dat, version.txt, vsh.self(update URL). The term "SEX" is never mentioned in Shop FWs. In the UPL.xml, shop FW uses the same '''<Product>''' value as retail FW (CEX-ww). I personally think it is incorrect to exclusively refer to retail FW as CEX FW, and then to say shop FW is SEX firmware as if it is SEX is another kind of Product Code. It's more correct to say '''Retail FW'''and '''Shop FW''' and class them both under CEX Firmware, or Firmwares made for CEX consoles. And as a side note, because they are both made for CEX PS3s, it is relatively easy to install either retail or shop fw on a CEX PS3 regardless of which one is already installed. Just generally, naming FWs after Product Codes is incorrect, it just so happens that for all PS3 types (except CEX) there is only one FW type which can be used with it.--[[User:Ps3hen|Ps3hen]] 09:18, 22 November 2012 (MSK)

: ''The SEX shortcode is just a made up name<!--// old insider joke, sexshop //-->.

:Havent looked at authIDs, but I know both ROS where filled with [[0.85.009]] which is a DEX preretail FW - thus I assumed it was the DEH/cookie13 (it is a cookie13 for sure). But looking at the Product Code 0x83 made me doubt and it seemed a CEX preretail. Perhaps it is a CEX QA flagged, capable of runnning DEX - like that CBEH.<br />[[User:Euss|Euss]]

:It could be a special QA Token Flag that allows installing of FW for other Product Codes or the FW just doesn't check the Product Code. (Or: Maybe it's a preretail CEX FW?; The CBEH (CECH Prototypes) that I know do have CEX Product Code)<br />[[User:Strike_Venom|Strike Venom]]

:OK, it's the "normal" 085.009 ROM -> Either it's not checking the Product Code (If you look at the [[Talk:Playstation_Update_Package_(PUP)#Ancient_preproduction_.2F_prototype|ebootrom structure]], there's no way for the installer to determine for which Product Code this Update is) or a special QA-Flag is required.<br/>Update: I asked someone who owns a DEH-H1001-D and he says that the PS3 accepts only DEX Updates (even 4.30+!), so if this is a valid dump from a DEH-H1001-D, there must be something else that allows installing DEX FW on CEX.<br />[[User:Strike Venom|Strike Venom]]
