PSX-SCENE Forum Discussion for Sony PlayStation/PsOne/PS2/PS3/PSP/PS VITA
  • Video: GeoHot "Jailbreaks" 3.55 Firmware - Runs Homebrew

    The news continues to flow in today, this time around coming from GeoHot. He updated his site today with a very innocent looking line, "I made a video". However, what that video contains will change the face of PS3 forever. He demonstrates what many of you have been waiting for, jailbreaking / homebrew on a 3.55 console.
    He achieves this by first enabling the Install PKG feature with Lv2diag.self. He then signs his own (NPDRM) SELF file and packaging it into a retail PKG (with no signature). He then patches a file on the flash (NAS Plugin) so that it ignores the PKG's signature. The patch allows the homebrew to install, which then can be run from the XMB. Congratulations GeoHot!

    There are no download links yet for these tools, but we hope to see them sometime this week.

    Note this still does not allow piracy, but it does allow homebrew on 3.55.

      I admit it! I want backup manager for 3.55 so i can play pirated games backups that i do not own and i will download from the internet! I am a sinner kill me!

      I bought the PS3 when it firstly came out almost 4 years ago it was shit expensive and in these 4 years i bought more than 25 games that are also shit expensive. It's more than enough to sell all the games and buy a car with them..

      We all gave to Sony and the "game developers" too much money.. (that by the way the basic graphics,codes,model etc for a game is almost the same that runs on ps3,xbox,wii,pc so take money from all these 4)

      It's payback time now sony sorry.. Free games for all s3up:

      It's one thing to be too cheap to pay for your own games (you bought the PS3 too, right?) but to demand from these intelligent people to stop whatever they're doing and spend their time satisfying the egoistical frills of some cheapskate, that's a bridge too far.

      There'll be enough backup managers available along the way, but let them first clear out the machine's limits and abilities and develop tools to harness its capabilities.

      Once that is done, everyone can write his own "backup manager", okay?

      What are they going to do with the ps3? Are they gonna build a time machine? It's just a console for gaming and entertainment thats all... What capabilities and limits are those? They are gonna help humanity in which way? These intelligent creatures are so out of this world for you right? Tell'em to do what we really want then and let's see if it's the fear of getting sued or they can't really do anything useful but posting videos of how they suck... Anyone here, including you, not giving shit about the backup manager and piracy is a liar.

      Umm EPIC FAIL

      But still you BOUGHT a ps3 so you can expect the games to be too high!!!

      And honestly if somebody does come out with a backup manager you will have to pay for it...

      Also if you feel that way like the tons of others why wont you MAKE your own cfw then?

      I hate people that are going to bash the hackers for their work and their decisions

      If it was me... Yeah id release one but i will put forced encryption on it and make people PAY for it....

      most of you guys dont even DONATE to them .... so what can you expect i bet you if everybody gave GEOHOT 50 bucks each for a backup manager he would change his mind!!!

      But then he will be after money like SONY!!!

      This is a business so stop expecting for a free handout

      BTW we already have a BACK UP manager so be happy of what you have!!!

      Why did Dark Alex do it for free for psp??? And the guy u replied to has 3.55 i think thats why he wants a backup manager. Not the decision they make or anything. The problem is why don't they do something useful instead of posting videos of stuff people don't give a ****.

      But you are missing the point!
      You are buying a game system and who doesnt want free games? Im just saying make your own cfw with the backup manager

      We already have one

      If you was GEOHOT wouldnt you want to cash in for this???

      No I would give it free to people to share the love and to screw up Sony because i hate them, and i would stay in history books as a legend..

      And if i could make a cfw i would not be in psgroove right now checking for updates..

      You think that geohot doesn't have the knowledge required to upload it without been tracked back to him ?

Why because the have the knowlegde to do good thing for us gamers i have a ps3 yes it is jb and yea i want to dl games but i'm willing to pay or donate to them cause they can give us what we want. And if you dont like it open a window and throw your ps3 out!!! And stop with this nonsence.

      I buy all my games at gamestop anyways. Sony doesn't see any of that money. It wouldn't be any different if I downloaded them but why waste 10GB of bandwidth when the game is only 10-20 bucks at gamestop.

      Seriously I only have a 60GB limit a month, so thats only 6 games.. Then I'd be charged for more bandwidth. I want homebrew like I had for the wii, Homebrew browser would be great for the PS3, there are a ton of other homebrew I can think of that would be great for the PS3. I won't start developing PS3 homebrew until these tools are available for PKGing pkg's. Since these CFW came out it would be too much negativity on the scene to create non signed PKG's and noobs just simply would be flaming say that it doesn't work.

      Hurts the reputation of the scene.

      Um because people head down to their local Blockbuster and hire a handful of games for a few buck and rip them to their hdds.
