For Cobra ODE owners, the 2.0 MCU firmware has been pretty hotly anticipated. Lucky for you, Team Cobra has delivered an impressive feature list once again. In addition to bypassing 4.55 official firmware's blocking measures, it also allows you to configure your device's LED lights and dump disc-based games directly from the included manager. Should you own a 4k unit, there's also a handy auto-eject feature that makes swapping between games much easier. Check out the full statement from this talented team below!

COBRA ODE 2.0 fw Release for V3 and V4/V4 QSV Cobra PCB's including OFW 4.55 Bypass

We are pleased to present for release the Cobra fw 2.0 which has many new features and also initial support for OFW 4.55. Whilst the support for OFW 4.55 is not as convenient as on previous OFW's, it provides a solution for those who accidentally updated or wish to use 4.55 directly on SEN. We suggest that users remain on 4.53 or lower if they wish to benefit from the full convenience of an ODE solution. That being said we are researching other possible methods for compatibility with the 4.55+ firmwares and will keep our users posted through the news on this site and various other forums.

Before using the Cobra ODE kindly refer to the 4.55 Bypass manual carefully. Please be sure to follow the prerequisite steps and ensure that you have updated the firmware on the ODE hardware properly first. Kindly note that 1 wire must be soldered to the drive door, which is detailed in the updated installation manual. The newly launched V5 QSV Cobra does not require a wire to be soldered for controlling the 4k series drive door, since it is bundled with a special adapter which takes care of this functionality via the included ribbon cables.

In addition to the 4.55 OFW support, we have included many new features which are sure to excite users and demonstrate the power of the Cobra ODE.

New features in 2.0 fw:

• On the fly generation of browser menu system (no pc app required)
• LED configuration
• Full 4k auto eject system added
• XMB enabled passthrough system added, use of hardware switch not required
• Configuration of eject delay added
• AES performamce increased by 100%
• Disc dumping via manager added
• + Many other tweaks and performance benefits added

We have also freshened up our user manauls to make installation and detailing of the full functionality of the Cobra ODE easier to understand.

As you can see the 2.0 fw release is a massive leap forward. You can be sure to expect more from Team Cobra in the months to come.

2.0fw for V5 QSV users will be released in the following week...
