Video: GeoHot "Jailbreaks" 3.55 Firmware - Runs Homebrew

[Aristoles]

if u would read the post where the first cfw came out u would see that this it not the case if im not wrong. otherwise you wouldnt have to repackage all the homebrew because they are unsigned code


correct me if i am wrong as usually

Im not trying to correct you, nor I can. Just speculating.

The fact is: youre right. But that was for that particulair fw.
What I mean is that they have the masterkey, can control en brew anything they want. So if they want a firmware that runs a "Micheal Jackson"-signed brew only, they could.
For that matter, they can create a cfm that runs anything. Signed and unsigned... or turn it into a cappucino machine.

Personally I dont think they should work on a method to keep the psn function alive. Because Sony will fight against it sooner or later. I think we need a cfm without the ability of psn and being banned. Sony will win that fight anyway.

What I find confusing is why a signed backup manager alone would not work. I will try my best to explain and i am only putting this all together from comments and news over the past 2 weeks, if anyone can assist with this in noobish terms it would be appreciated.

Here I go:

The Jailbreak dongles tricked the PS3 into running unsigned code. Therefore the console would run anything so to speak.

Now, Sony's private keys have been released to the world. What this means is that and software that is signed with this key will run on any retail PS3 as the PS3 assumes it is signed by Sony therefore the console no longer needs to be tricked yes?

With the above in mind, if a backup manager was signed (by what the PS3 assumes is by Sony) then what else needs to happen? Would the PS3 not give the software access to whatever it wants (i.e syscalls etc) becuase it assumes that the software is legit?

The unsigned version seemed to get access to everything it needed when loaded on the PS3, why not a signed one? Is it fair to say that the dongle made the PS3 assume the backup manager was signed?

Thanks in advance.

My thoughts exactly.

like u said there soon we will use free piracy games i love u hackers

[rumble]

So, here is my 2 cents.

I have a deep knowdlege of win32 executables, pe header, all those dll's stuff.
I know how to debug, reverse enginner, create keygens, patches and etc for windows/mac systems...

In my humble opinion, (i dont know how the ps3 arch. is), i think that the dongle loads an app on ps3 memory and patches some address, remove some software checks, NOP some address, patch some JE JNZ to JMP, redirect calls...

So, if there is anyone interested in create an custom 3.41 firmware already patched (dongleless), catch the failoverflow, waninkoko, and all other tools to unpack/pack/sign firmware pups, decrypt those files, unpack, study the dongle patching code, patch those files wich you extracted, pack again, crypt(?) and sign the pup.

I dont support piracy (download games), but i would like to backup my games to hdd and play online. If is there some tool to backup the game to hdd, the game will only run if you had the blueray disc. You only can run the game if YOU made the backup of it.

hugs from brazil.

ps: Please, sorry if I tell anything wrong, its just my opinion.
ps2: sorry for my english. its not good at all.

Good enough. At least you have the decency to master another language (like I do)

You know, just think in the iPhone scene that Geohot belongs too.


He gave us the tools to jailbreak our iDevices, but who made the cracked apps and distribute then is Hackulous. When you add their repo in Cydia, they do not recomend to use it.

The "big" PS3 hackers won't do something to allow the piracy. But someone did it to the iPhone, someone did it to the PSP and someone will do it to the PS3. I wish I have this knowledge.

edit: sorry bad english, i'm brazilian (another one xD)

[Gerber Lemus]

Just one thing i don't understand. Custom firmware does not allow to play backups yet, right? can i boot CFW with ps3key to enable playing backups? s3up:

[gabiruh]

just one question:


Where the **** is Hermes now?


#HermesEnableBackupManagerInCFW

I´m praying for someone to release a CFW that can play backup games. I haven´t got a PS3 but i´m planning to buy one because of this. unfortunately is the only way i can play this, because PS3 here (in Argentina) costs u$s 750 and the games are at u$s 100 (a good salary is 600us at month, so it is very expensive). The only case i could buy a game are those games that i want to play online. I supouse in Brazil the prices are the same...

[rumble]

If you buy one game per month (www.shopto.net) , or wait untill the game gets old, then you can pay for it.

Is the same thing.

You bought a Ferrari, but doesn't have money for the gasoline.

Simple as it.

[Blade86-PSG]

NICE
if we have now access to lv2diag.self and are able to load it though signing,
THEN what about editing the lv2diag.self to enable syscalls or a
3.55-dongle-support... (I would love that the most)

???

*EDIT: I think the downloadable lv2diag.self from geohot.com could be simply implemented and rebuild in a PUP....just need those editings...
btw, in my eyes 3.55 dongle-support is better than dongle-less solution, as not everyone has a dongle and not everyone wants to run backups. So for all the "non-backupper" there is no problem:They just use CFW 3.55 and a proper signing app.
And for the "Backuppers" would also be nice, because they already have their dongles and it is not like "Just download that pup. update your ps3 and voila there is piracy"

We can´t buy games, CD o DVD from other countries because of Argentine customhouse rules. So we have to pay Sony Argentina overprices.

If Sony doesn´t **** us with the prices then it will be more accesible to buy games and hardware. I´m not buying a Ferrari or a Rolex watch, is a simple videogame console, but the price here is overrated.

By the way, who never use any pirated OS, games, sofware... I bet that you also use it sometime. Give me a brake...

[rumble]

Did you bought a pc just because someone pirated your windows?

[Blade86-PSG]

guys, our discussions are useless and wrong-directed.
Just be nice and try to support the scene....

Thank you

I know, i´m sorry, the only thing i wish like lot of people is CFW with backup manager! Is a matter of time. Think that the Master Key was released only five days ago!

[videogamerevie81]

this is useless if i cant run my games he should enable the backup manager or otherwise ile stick to rebug sence it allowes 3d just like the new firmware and backups.

PC was here before Windows, so not a valid comparition

I know what you mean. Im from Buenos Aires.

I usually buy some games on ebay, used of course. Prices around 10/20 dollars.

The true is that we are unable to spent 100/150 dollars in a game. I can anyway, but i wont pay that price for creepy overpriced games and terrible bad ports like Mafia (As an example).
I will never buy a game that i can download if im not going to buy it. If i cant play some downloaded games, im not going to buy either. So in my opinion, i dont care about piracy, if it exist, bravo! I will download some games. If it not, i wont go to buy them either so Sony and developers won´t lose money with me.

I know that if i dont buy it, it doesn´t give me the right to download it, but who cares, i wont buy it either.


Sorry for my sucky english :P

[Darkman-PSG]

But I think that all of you guys are failing to realize if GeoHot or that F guy was they could easily make a cfw with backup manager.... besides dont we already play backups in the first place... what these two did was mainly for bragging rights.... but most importantly ... all of this complaining... they arent even getting PAID for it so you all have to realize that.... hacking takes alot of time and work and many wouldnt even contribute to the scene without getting paid nowadays... Geohot and that F guy have Sony in thier mercey... unless any of you want to try and crack the firmware... I know im not... but thats why you see all of those clones... somebody already use unsigned code.... for Geohot and the F guy they are only interested in homebrew and have no intentions of EVER!!! releasing a cfw with backup manager... so its up to you guys but if you put yourself in thier position... do you want to face sony in court?

BTW to set the record 96% of people with a Jailbroken PS3 have the intentions of pirating games lets be honest now... who SERIOUSLY back up thier own game!!! lets be real about the subject I know Idont... Why waste space on a game I already have ... I know its bad but atleast that is why I have a hacked psp , modded ps2 , jailbroken iphone , and lastly a jailbroken ps3 its not that I dont have the money to buy the games... its like saying I can get a car for free or am I going to pay for the same car that I can get for free... I know that is wrong.. but this is why I have a jailbroken ps3 for the backup manager
