gurus in the house what do you think about this as i desperately need to get mine hacked.

Developer Alexander Just Released the first ever 4.66 CFW. Now You must have a working BD Drive for this. The NOBD Edition is coming soon including DUALBOOT Edition and Cobra Edition

As quoted on the source.Translated via Google

MANDATORY:
[It is recommended that, after a successful installation of custom firmware, do the following:
- Settings> [System Settings]> [Restore Default Settings]. (From the XMB)
- Restore File System (Recovery)
- Rebuild Database (Recovery)
So, you will have a clean install and you’ll be fine.
