Aldostools has recently updated his and Asure's KLicense Tool. With this tool, in conjunction with SCETool, allow you to create your own 3.60 game patches for 3.41/3.55 JB/CFW PS3 consoles. This is by far the best tool to use for making your own patches, and is even better than some of the patches currently floating around out on the internet. But don't just take my word for it...

Here is what aldostools had to say about this release, here at PSX-Scene:

It seems that some here have missed this:

BTW: Notice that same klic is used in different regions.

It is a scetool-brute force tool, with heuristic algorythms to help to reduce the time finding the klicensee.
Just copy the EBOOT.BIN, self/sprx and PARAM.SFO to the folder and let the program fix them.
If the klicense is already known (currently 16 known klicensees), it will take only 3 seconds to resign/fix your game using 3.40 or 3.55 keys.
If the klicense is unknown, it could take some minutes or hours to find it. eg. WWE 12's took 1 hour 7 mins 37 secs to find it.

The tool is based on Asure's brute force batch script, but improved a lot with the help and ideas of several devs/users @ crunch (see the credits).

Here is what PSX-Scene's own BahumatLord had to say about the update:

It will brute force the klicense from game updates so that self and sprx files can be decrypted and resigned correctly. It will also apply a hex patch to prevent error 8001003C. I've been using it the last couple days and it is hands down the best tool to use for making your own patches.

Sadly a lot of the patches that have been uploaded to PS3SceneFiles and elsewhere just don't work because the self/sprx files weren't resigned or the people that uploaded just didn't bother to test the games

This works in combination with SCE Tool. There's a download link there that has SCE Tool included or you can just download the klicense BruteForce tool if you already have SCE Tool.

Instructions on use

Install your 3.60 game updates
if it just uses an eboot, copy that eboot into the program directory and run eboot_fix.bat
if it has self and/or sprx files too copy the eboot and all sprx/self files into the directory and run BruteForce.EXE. It has some klicense files stored already and will decrypt and resign everything automatically. If it doesn't have the klicense stored it will bruteforce the klicense for you. It can take anywhere from a couple minutes to over an hour - It just depends on how long it takes to find the klicense
After everything is resigned copy/ftp the newly resigned eboot/sprx/self files to the proper place in dev_hdd0/game/**GAMEID**/...

The three of us can make one hell of an article, and this is truly the topic everyone has been waiting for, for a very long time too. Thanks @aldostools and @BahumatLord

One question, does this only work for game updates? What about 3.60 games that have no update?Can i run the eboot and all sprx files through this tool and they will be resigned?

@YoYoBalls:
Well, the link below will make life easier
http://psx-scene.com/forums/f6/artic...tml#post992011 (Article: PS3 3.60 Keys Leaked)

BTW the current version of the tool is 1.7.9 (not 1.7.5)

1.7.9 speed optimizations
1.7.8 added some tweaks when the files are non-npdrm
1.7.7 is 10-20% faster than previous versions
1.7.6 offer the option to create a self from a BIN when the size are the same

@bluntman420:
Currently I have tested the tool only with game updates. If you have some example of disc files, PM them and I will check them

if you really want to make your life easier, once you have the klicense you can use those batch files to recrypt every files, extract the update pkg, patch the param.sfo or recreate a pkg without having to select the parameters yourself

Dont the patches have the extra encryption layer we dont have keys for? I thought you had to install the 3.60 patches and then ftp out the signed files, work on those and then either ftp'em back to the ps3 or creat a pkg that does that for you.

Regarding game disk, doesnt this does the same thing that the ebootfix from deank? with the advantage that the tool from deank will actually go through the game directory and find all the needed files sprx and such, so no chance of you missing anithing.

the pkg patches can be extracted on pc side and you can remake your own pkg with the modified files.
you can use ebootfix for bluraygames yes but it won't work for updates

yes and *no*

The tool is mainly a klicensee finder. It uses scetool by naehrwert/flatz and brute force attack strategy to decrypt the npdrm eboot/sprx/self found in updates. It also uses some heuristic algorythms to try to *guess* the klicensee faster.

Once the klicensee is found, it resigns the EBOOT with 3.55/3.40 keys like deank's tool.

When I checked it, it was 1.7.8 (anyway I updated that link again to 1.7.8).
Maybe your browser is reading it from the cache.

LOL I keep updating my tools all the time (some times up to 20 times!! in a day), I just don't tell

For instance, the ps3tools now include an updated version of the PARAM.SFO Editor 2.5.3 that allows to modify specific fields of a PARAM.SFO from a batch file. It also shows the TARGET_APP_VER in a visible field (instead of the drop down list). It also shows the NP_COMMUNICATION_ID when available.

The installation includes the latest titleid.txt and description_md5.txt, and the latest BruteForce 1.7.8 and the PKG_ContentID 1.4

why when i add my eboot i get an error "EBOOT.elf was not found"

aldostools - 08-15-2012, 08:29 PM

probably your EBOOT is >3.60 or a TB (or you're running with a limited user that cannot create files in the scetool's folder)

The scetool can decrypt EBOOT.BIN (self) to elf only if you have the keys.
Currently the keys supported are up to 3.60.

Is it normal for this tool to run for 10 hours and not find the klicensee? I have this tools running for ten hours and still counting and it has not found the license. Perhaps I am trying to find the lic for a game that requires firmware higher then 3.60 and that's the reason it is running for so long without result? I am currently trying the tool on Ratchet and Clank All for One and have it signed to Firmware version 3.41.
I think that is the reason why, but dunno for sure.
