  • Geohot Releases 3.55 PS3 Custom Firmware + Signing Tools - 3.55 Homebrew Arrives

    Progress continues to be made, on the custom firmware front. This time coming from Geohot, he has released his custom firmware which was showcased in the video yesterday.The firmware works with his tools make_self_npdrm and package_finalize. These tools are now currently released, and finally allow us to truly run our own homebrew on 3.55. Please note, Geo's custom firmware must be installed from 3.55 official firmware. More news coming soon.

    This does not enable piracy or backups

    This MUST be installed onto 3.55 Official Firmware ONLY!

    Check here to Download 3.55 Compatible Homebrew!


    Download CFW: http://geohot.com/jailbreak.zip
    Download First 3.55 Homebrew PKG: http://www.geohot.com/test.pkg

    Tutorial on how to use the above files: http://psgroove.com/showthread.php?6...tion-3-on-3.55


    Some of you may be asking: Isn't this the same as KaKaRoTo's CFW?

    The answer to that is:
    No! This CFW has more going on behind the scenes with it. It will allow you to install your OWN retail PKG's, with Geohot's tools below. Which means you can convert current homebrew/emulators to GeoHot's 3.55 CFW

    New tools are coming to sign homebrew to work with new CFW.

    [21:43] <@geohot> i'm releasing tool soon
    [21:43] <@geohot> two tools actually, make_self_npdrm and package_finalize


    New tools are now released:
    Download: ps3publictools_release.zip
    Source Code: https://github.com/geohot/ps3publictools

    If on Windows, signing tools requires Attachment 618


    homebrew signing tools and source
    don't mirror
    linux and windows
    make_self_npdrm makes valid NPDRM selfs from elfs
    it does not contain any info on decrypting or removing NPDRM
    NPDRM is required for interoperability of our homebrew applications
    package_finalize turns your debug packages into psuedoretail packages
    psuedoretail packages install on a geohot jailbroken PS3

    i'm excited to see what you will create
    open source SDK @ PSL1GHT
    Quote from geohot.com:
    it's jailbreak time
    open the zip, you know how to install
    3.55 only
    would be pirates, don't waste your time
    do not mirror file, link to geohot.com
    here is the package from the video
    no donations accepted right now, don't get scammed

    old homebrew will not work
    new homebrew signing tools coming soon...

      with a proper make_self, which geo says he's releasing, others will be able to make their own custom firmware with various features etc

      edit: sorry I've made a mistake I don't think geo plans to release make_self actually, only make_self_npdrm

      Incorrect, this has more things going on behind the curtains, that will allow geohot's upcoming tools to let you install your own retail PKG's

      Just tried installing it and it crashed my console. Thankfully it restarted. I have Kakarotos cfw 3.55 on it, there must be some compatibility issue.
