  • Downgrading/Service Jig File Lv2diag.self Decrypted

    graf_chokolo continues to make quick work of reversing the PS3. He has just revealed, that he has decrypted lv2diag.self. For those of you unfamiliar with this file, it is one of the official Sony Service files, used by PSDowngrade in order to downgrade your PS3. Decrypting this file will help devs further understand the downgrade process.

    He also plans to dump the PS3 Service Jig's master key soon. He has recently received two fat 3.15 firmware PS3's to do the job. The hold up now, is the fact that he needs a development board, so he can perform the classic geohot exploit. Once performed he will ultimately uncover the PS3 Service Jig's master key.

    While waiting for the hardware, he has been very busy on another project, that devs will find very handy. He has announced his work on a self decrypter which he will be releasing to the public very soon. This is most likely the tool he used to decrypt lv2diag.self.

    Guys, i know you are waiting for the USB Dongle Master Key from me :-) I have got now 2 fat PS3 with HV 3.15 but unfortunately no SX28 development board yet to exploit it :-)

    But i was not idle and the last and this week i was working on reversing of self decryption. And now i’m able to decrypt SELFs and SPRXs on my exploited GameOS by using HV calls only and no GameOS functions at all :-) I reversed the interface to appldr which decrypts SELFs on GameOS 3.41.

    So you wont’ get bored until i get the USB Dongle Master Key, i will make my findings and my source code public very soon and you will be able to decrypt your favourite games and programs by yourself :-) Let the fun begin, guys :-)

      ps is hacking/jailbreaking the ps3 illegal, not that I care, just curios I think it shouldnt be because its like when u buy a car like a mustang if u add or take apart things to make it better or worse its not illegal, so why should this be

      i think you are getting it mixed up with ipod touch and iphone. jailbreaking an idevice is legal now, but i think jailbreaking a PS3 is still illegal.

      anyone correct me if i am wrong.

      It's all kind of gray area. As I understand the DMCA - it is legal to Jailbreak your device as long as your intention is not to pirate software. Any "hacking" with the intention of defeating copyrighted work is illegal. Based on that - jailbreaking your ps3 would be completely legal up until the point you install and play a game you don't own.

      TRUE!! But think about this!!!
      1st - Who is going to take you to court because you hacked/Jailbroke/Modified your PS3/WII/IPHONE or what ever!!
      2nd - When you buy anything and own the machine from a Mass production line (Via Sony, Nintendo.. who ever) They cant say "Well he bought it and owns the machine and he create his own software to install! (THATS NO ILLEGAL!!)
      3rd - They only way you can get caught yup is if you are selling ISO/or Pirated games (Games that are not originally created or packaged by a manfuacture, U KNOW LIKE THE BOOTLEGERS ON THE CORNER WITH BullSh@T MOVIES!!)..... AND ALSO!!! If you resell a machine as new! and it has been altered... You can go to jail for re-selling a product that was not original (BUT if its hand 2 hand its As-Is, Only if you have a MOM & POPS game store and your selling altered Machines then u will really go to jail! (they'll take your re-sellers license, your contracts with who ever (Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft.. You can lose it all


      I believe no one in the history of Hacking/Jailbreaking/Backing up games has anyone been arrested/Tried or sentenced to jail time for there personal modifications of any type of US patented device!

      It NEVER EVER was illegal to Hack Iphones! Att & Apple knew from the jump that they created a product that would be easy to alter and it if the OS was altered properly anyone with phone service could use the APPLE DEVICE (APPLE cared 50% about ATT) THINK ABOUT IT!!!! APPLE is smart! they want everyone to have there products even if it means to KNOWING HAVE GLITCHES

      Yeah you bring up some good points. I wasn't saying it's dangerous to jailbreak - simply answering his question that it is "technically" illegal. Really the reason Apple is so intimidated by jailbreaking is they intentionally hold back functionality so the next release can still have hype surrounding it. Obviously Apple and ATT have a vested interest in keeping the phone on ATT because it has been subsidized. Both of these factors are why Apple will do whatever they can to stop jailbreaking. It's all about money and I can't say that I blame them. Without the jailbreak - I would not have bought the iphone 3, 3gs or 4.
