If you haven't updated yet, here is how I would do it:
  1. generate a new RSA keypair
  2. patch UsbUpdater with the new public key (so involves no code patching)
  3. replace UsbUpdater in cramfs.Fsk
  4. sign both cramfs.Fsk and cramfs.Rootfs using the new private key and insert results in checksum
  5. run the update
Your unit would then reject updates from Sony.

The only clean fix for the USB Updater is to out a SHA-1 private key.
