  • Kmeaw Backup Manager Patch For Wutangrza CFW Released

    A dev who goes by the name of kmeaw, from the IRC channel #ps3test, has made it possible to run Backup Managers on Wutangrza CFW. He provides a PKG which you can download and install below. Prior to running your favorite backup manager on Wutangrza's firmware, it is necessary to run the kmeaw package each time. Kmeaw also released his own CFW, which is shaping up to be the best choice so far. His CFW has the patches for backup managers built right in. This allows backup managers to run similarly to how they were run on 3.41 jailbreaks. Allowing them to run without the need for anything additional or special.

    "Basically it's a simple PKG you need to launch before running any backup manager. It will patch lv2 and add syscalls in memory. They are removed once you power off. Safe and efficient!"

    "First run the PKG, then run the Backup Manager. When rebooting, you need to repeat the process."

    Download PKG: http://kmeaw.com/tmp/lv2.pkg

    If you don't have Wutangrza's Firmware installed then just download Kmeaw's prepatched CFW PUP and install over 3.55 OFW

    More info (instructions): PS3 CFWs with backup managers


    kmeaw's CFW is different from FLUKES1 and Wutangrza and anyone elses.

    Basically kmeaws CFW has peek/poke and allows you to bypass PKG checks, like how it used to work on 3.41 . Therefore you don't need to sign stuff like Geohots CFW.

    Wutangrza's CFW is basically what flukes1 released it just has peek/poke enabled but you can't install PKG's.

    Geohot's CFW can be installed over the top on Wutangrza's CFW and allows you to install special signed PKG's.

    This LV2.pkg patch can be loaded from any CFW that has peek/poke, and adds syscalls for backup managers etc.

    SUMMARY :

    On Wutangrza's/Geohot Firmware you have to use pkg's signed with geohots tools.
    On Kmeaw's Firmware you can install any pkg. Like the ones from 3.41 and ones signed with geohot tools.
    Disclaimer: This package is for demonstration use only, or for running your own made software (homebrew). We do noit condone piracy and are not responsible of the small chance you may brick.

    Original FW PUP md5 before patching: ca595ad9f3af8f1491d9c9b6921a8c61
    Patched PUP md5 after patching: 2be5e87a22bf1e7f48e98fcabd38977b

    If you are on Wutangrza+geohot fw, you dont need to flash the new firmware, just install the package, and run it every time the ps3 boots before running apps that need PL3.
    Otherwise, it is suggested that you upgrade to 3.55, Upgrade to this patched PUP, then install the lv2.pkg.

    This is only until apps are updated to include this patch themselves, as then you wont need to run the patcher on every boot.

    For Stock ps3's

    1. update to official 3.55
    2. bspatch PS3UPDAT.PUP PS3CFW.PUP patchfile
    3. Delete PS3UPDAT.PUP
    4. Rename PS3CFW.PUP to PS3UPDAT.PUP and that's it! You're ready to install
    5. Install lvl2.pkg
    6. Launch backups with manager

      I wonder: Which game ID will be reported? The one from the Backup Manager (call it Rogero, multiMAN etc) or the id of the lvl2.pkg? I am asking because if the later holds true, then bye-bye stealth provided by Rogero 7.8. Personally I will stick with Waninkoko's CFW + Rogero 7.8 Stealth Edition for the time being...

      Questions...

      What emulators work with this?
      Where do I get them?
      Does this work online?

      If these were answered that'd be perfect and save a lot of other people from asking.
      Thanks. :w00t:

      Your an arrogant noob. I have a phat with a 256mb nand and backwards compatibility, with hardware that was made with cost out of the question, and quality the only concern. You have a cheap slim and your bashing phat units. Go look around on google's shopping search and watch phat units that aren't compatible with Wan's CFW going for $500+ all day long, while yours sells for $200 everytime amazon runs a special.

      While your at it, get a brain. Any patch written directly to your flash is risky as hell, and most of us with hardware knowledge would never want to do it. This CFW is meant for all patches and syscalls to be integrated after boot, in memory, where a glitch would reboot your console, not turn it into a paperweight. The only patches written to flash are to bypass lvl1/2 security, not adding in functions that don't exist on un-jailbroken consoles.

      WutangRZA, great job!!!

      Not sure how your friend would feel about being biting his disc, but hey, whatever turns your crank mate. Watch for the sharp pieces if it breaks.

      At first I thought... biting? Then I saw his post. Made me laugh. A lot of people don't use spell check.

      can't the dev's include it in the CFW so that it patches lv2 on startup?
      just making a suggestion
      but great work to be correct, wutanggrza CFW has 0% brick chance right?

      Sadly most of the posters don't know enough English to read a local newspaper, let alone read the article. Worst part is the fact that they then ask questions about how to do said operation, but won't understand the explanation you give them anyways resulting in them re-asking the same question with different words.

      Read the article people, it explains everything ><
