PSX-SCENE Forum Discussion for Sony PlayStation/PsOne/PS2/PS3/PSP/PS VITA
  • KaKaRoTo update jailbreak for 4.00

    A while ago we posted here that Ps3 developer KaKaRoTo had just been able to partially jailbreak Official Firmware 3.73. After Sony had released update 4.00 to prep up the PS3 system for the PS Vita in order to act as an entertainment, KaKaRoTo now informs us via his Twitter account that he has been able to use the same exploit that was used before on firmware 3.73 to jailbreak the console on firmware 4.00. It is to be noted though that this exploit only "partially" jailbreaks the system allowing only for homebrew to be run and those that are stuck on 3.73, to those that are still on 3.55 should stay if they want back ups running. With that being said here is the tweet posted by KaKaRoTo. However, there is no current time frame for his release on JB 4.0



    FYI, tested yesterday and the jailbreak still works on 4.0 so it's safe to upgrade (for those on 3.73)

      Glad to see that Kakaroto is working things out. I am sure that when his work is leaked someone else will reverse it and add what we all want. as for the news reporters thanks for the great job yall do.

      I love how everyone thinks KaKaRoTo is a "kiddie developer" and troll/n00b/rookie/whatever. If you don't know his contributions to various scenes (and I mean even before PSFreedom, his PSGroove fork, PS3 payloads, etc.), and yet you still feel the need to spout this nonsense, then you're the n00b.

      SO i was thinking to myself

      What if

      Kakaroto was captured by sony and they paid him a large amount of cash to say "Its safe to update to 4.00" but he has to make it believable by saying those on 3.55 stay on 3.55 BUT some have so much faith in kak that they update anyway feeling to proud or giddy then 9 months later theres still no Jailbreak thus sony found a glitch in the matrix of the masses

      i lol'ed at myself, so sleepy, no internet, nothing to do....

      Logical fallacy #6 - Using cracked.com as a source for logical fallacies. Try taking some debate classes, or at least try this List of fallacies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      Wow, you decrypted 70% of that? With talent like that you should be able to find the 3.6 keys in no time.

      Nice theory, but KaK has a tin foil hat that he wears constantly, so he's immune to Sony's brain wave transmissions.

      That is hilarious, but doubt that happened or even will, because KaKaRoTo lives in Canada, where jailbreaks and exploits are legal

      Kakaroto said it won't play backups and he's not implementing it either, so stop asking and crying about CFW 4.0 u babies(buy TrueBlue if you want 3.6+ now), Kakaroto won't be the one to release it. Though his work will probably lead to CFW for another dev to figure out.
      JUST HOMEBREW. 3.56 CFW now has backups through IRIS Manager and it was said no backups on it's release, So who knows it may but not by the Dev who released it (Keeps dev safe from sony)

      As previously stated it will NOT play backups. The only way it can be achieved is if another dev makes a cfw or the games are compiled into pkg files or anything that doesn't require peek and poke.

      9 months have passed since sony brought down the hammer. i would love to hear news of the ps3 but it looks bleak. every week theres something saying this or that will imminently lead to a cfw but what happens guys...... much respect to kakaroto tho, brilliant dude and i wish him the best of luck and no "ill be releasing it after my 2 week vacation" lmfao, how many timnes have we heard other devs say that....
      well, i keep checking in every week or so, just keeping the hope alive. until then, i just RGH'ed my new slim! im good to go and theres no stopping that hack, just like jtags havent been stopped in years.

      A Jailbreak? A new jailbreak? A new jailbreak that's not for 3.41 or 3.55? A new jailbreak that's not for 3.41 or 3.55 that works on 3.73 and 4.00? This is a dream come true.
