    PACKAGE MANAGER

    Package Manager is a replacement for the standard Install Package Files option under Game in the XMB. It allows for the install and deletion of .pkg files from dev_hdd0/packages, dev_usb/packages and the standard Install Package Files locations. In addition to this, your downloaded PSN content ‘bubbles’ will appear under this option instead of cluttering your Game menu with uninstalled content.

    USAGE:
    Navigate to Game in your XMB and click on Package Manager (It will be where Install Package Files usually is). You will find three options.

    PlayStation®Network Content
    Manage your downloaded PlayStation®Network Content.

    Install Package Files
    INSTALL package files from Storage Devices and your PS3.

    PS3 Hard Disk (dev_hdd0/packages)
    Package Folder (dev_usb/packages)
    Standard Package Location (Standard Install Package Files locations)

    NOTE: The Install All Packages is only available by pressing the TRIANGLE button when the Standard Package Location option is highlighted because the PS3 will only install ALL packages from the root of a storage device as of the moment.

    Delete Package Files
    DELETE package files from Storage Devices and your PS3.

    PS3 Hard Disk (dev_hdd0/packages)
    Package Folder (dev_usb/packages)
    Standard Package Location (Standard Install Package Files locations)

    DELETING FILES:
    1: Highlight the file you would like to delete and press TRIANGLE. The sidebar should appear.
    2: Press CROSS on either Unlink or Unlink(Folder) (Both do the same thing for now).

    REBUG TOOLBOX

    Rebug Toolbox is application designed to complete the full function of REBUG REX EDITION firmwares. Besides from performing the CEX/DEX EID0 and LV2 Kernel Swapping it is also an FTP server and is packed with a bunch of other useful tools.

    INSTALL:
    1: In the PS3 XMB go to Game menu
    2: Select Package Manager
    3: Select Install Package Files
    4: Select PS3 Hard Disk
    5: Select REBUG-TOOLBOX-02.xx.xx.pkg


    SYSTEM



    SYSTEM INFORMATION:
    Displays Firmware version, Toolbox version, IP address, current LV2 Kernel and Target ID type and free HDD space.



    QUIT:
    Quits Toolbox and returns you to PS3 XMB.

    RESTART SYSTEM:

    Perform either a Full or Soft reboot od the PS3 system.
    Soft (LV2 Reboot Only)
    Full (On/Off Cycle)

    BOOT OTHEROS:

    Boot OtherOS with either your currently selected LV1 patches or easily apply ALL LV1 patches and boot.

    Boot (LV1 Patches: Apply All)
    Boot (LV1 Patches: Use current)

    TURN OFF SYSTEM:

    Shut down your PS3.


    SELECTOR



    SYSTEM MODE:
    Switches between NORMAL and REBUG mode

    NORMAL mode which uses the DEBUG XMB is the default mode after installing Rebug.

    REBUG mode sets the PS3 to the latest available version spoof (updatable in the future) and allows swapping between RETAIL and DEBUG XMB.

    XMB OPERATION MODE:

    This option only works in REBUG mode and lets you select either the RETAIL or DEBUG XMB.

    DEBUG MENU TYPE:

    Gives you the choice of the CEX QA (retail) or DEX (debug) Debug Settings menu.


    LV1 PATCHES




    A collection of LV1 patches that can be used for better compatibility with some PS3 tools. Any combination of these patches can be applied before booting OtherOS.


    CEX/DEX (REX EDITION ONLY)

    SWAP LV2 KERNEL:
    Swaps between CEX and DEX LV2 Kernel. This option will only work if your Target ID is set to DEX

    REWRITE TARGET ID IN FLASH:

    This option requires you have a valid NOR/NAND dump named correctly on dev_usb000. Use EXPORT FLASH TO FILE function found in the UTILITIES menu to dump your NOR/NAND to dev_usb000 and then use c2d.exe to convert your dump to DEX.

    Rename your original CEX dump to CEX-FLASH.EID0.NORBIN (16mb) or CEX-FLASH.EID0.NANDBIN (239mb or 256mb)
    Rename your converted DEX dump to DEX-FLASH.EID0.NORBIN (16mb) or DEX-FLASH.EID0.NANDBIN (239mb or 256mb)

    Once you have prepared your NOR/NAND dumps place them on a USB device and connect it to dev_usb000.

    Now that you have your valid dumps named properly and connected to dev_usb000 it is a simple as selecting the option and following the onscreen prompts. Takes less than 10secs once you have your dumps prepared.


    UTILITIES



    TOGGLE QA:
    Enable/Disable QA flag. This option is only available in REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION as we are not able to set QA token at the moment from GameOS on higher firmware.

    TOGGLE RECOVERY MODE:

    Enable/Disable Recover Mode flag. When enabled your PS3 will reboot into Recovery Mode.

    TOGGLE PRODUCT MODE:

    Enable/Disable Product Mode flag. When enabled your PS3 will reboot into Factory Service Mode. This option is only available in REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION for safety reasons.

    LOAD LV2 KERNEL:

    Load lv2_kernel.self.[KERNEL_NAME] from USB or /dev_hdd0

    RESIZE VFLASH/NAND REGIONS:

    Resize VFLASH/NAND Region 5 to allow install of OtherOS.

    INSTALL PETITBOOT:

    Install Petitboot to VFLASH/NAND Region 5 from USB.

    SET GAMEOS BOOT FLAG:

    Sets the GameOS boot flag. Use this if your PS3 is having trouble booting PS2 titles after running OtherOS or is accidently sending you back to OtherOS when trying to enter recovery mode.

    CREATE PACKAGES FOLDER ON PS3:

    Create /dev_hdd0/packages folder or your PS3 to be used with Package Manager.

    EXPORT HYPERVISOR LV1 MEMORY:

    Save LV1 memory to dev_usb000 or dev_usb006 or dev_hdd0 if usb is not found.

    EXPORT GAMEOS LV2 MEMORY:

    Save LV2 memory to dev_usb000 or dev_usb006 or dev_hdd0 if usb is not found.

    EXPORT FLASH TO FILE:

    Backup your current NOR/NAND to file on dev_usb000. Takes about 45secs for NAND

    CHANGE ACTIVE PS3ID:

    Spoof IDPS in LV2 memory. Choose from Use EID0 or Use EID5. EID5 will spoof your original CEX IDPS allowing you to connect to PSN if your PS3 is running REBUG REX EDITION firmware in DEX mode. This option is only available in REBUG 4.21.x REX EDITION and below at the moment.


    OTHER TOOLBOX FEATURES:

    L3 changes clock/temperature display

    L2+R2 enable screensaver

    START+R2 take a raw rgb screenshot

    Remote-play via PSP/PSVITA

    Auto-turn-off if idle for 1 hour

    Telnet to PS3 ip at port: 8080

    FTP access with writable dev_flash mounted as dev_rebug
    (port: 21, user: anonymous, password: (anything))

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    QA SUPPORT

    QA is supported in all REBUG FIRMWARE but at this point in time we are unable to set the QA Token from GameOS on 3.55+ firmware.

    It is good practice to enable QA in 3.55 before updating to any CFW not just REBUG.


    OTHEROS++ SUPPORT

    OtherOS++ is supported by all REBUG REX EDITIONS and will detect your existing OtherOS HDD partition.

    However none of the REBUG REX EDITIONS have emer_init.self patched (create smaller GameOS partition). We are working on a solution to this from GameOS.

    In the meantime if you do want to create an OtherOS partition you have two options:

    1: Use a 3.55 firmware that already has emer_init.self patched to the size you want.
    2: Patch REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION in PS3MFW Builder

    If you choose option 2 we highly recommend that you ONLY patch emer_init.self. Also the resulting PUP will only be able to be installed on 3.55 firmware as the spkg_hdr will be mismatched.

    REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER

    INSTALL:
    From XMB install REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER over any 3.55 OFW/CFW/MFW or the same or lower firmware version CFW with spkg sig check patched or any firmware version CFW with spkg sig check patched and QA enabled.

    UNINSTALL:
    From XMB REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER can be uninstalled with the same or higher firmware version OFW/CFW/MFW or with REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION on a QA enabled PS3 or with the ’999′ DOWNGRADER if QA was NOT enabled.

    REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION

    INSTALL:
    From XMB install REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION over the same or lower firmware version OFW/CFW/MFW or any firmware version CFW/MFW with spkg sig check patched and QA enabled.

    UNINSTALL:
    From XMB REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION can be uninstalled with the same or higher firmware version OFW/CFW/MFW.

    REBUG ’999′ DOWNGRADER

    THIS WILL SET YOUR SYSCON COREOS VERSION TO 9.99 ON PURPOSE: DO NOT PANIC
    REQUIRES SYSCON DEHASHING AFTER DOWNGRADE


    INSTALL:
    From XMB install ’999′ DOWNGRADER over any firmware version CFW/MFW with spkg sig check patched on a PS3 with or without QA enabled.

    UNINSTALL/DEHASH: REQUIRES PS3 TO BE QA ENABLED
    From XMB ’999′ DOWNGRADER can be uninstalled/dehashed with the REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION or from Recovery Mode with any other 3.55 OFW/CFW/MFW.

    Enjoy

      I just checked and it's working as it should, no "quit all programs running on the ps3" error.

      I'm on Rogero 4.30 2.03, can I update directly from XMB? And what do you mean with PS2 full suport? Can I download a PSN title (pkg) and just install it without the need of a crack or something like that? Is that for ps1 either? Thanks Rebug TEAM!

      Yes you can update from xmb, and the ps2 support just means non-hd remastered ps2 games available on psn now work because there was a bug in the previous REX versions which stopped them booting. It's nothing to do with cracks or activation.

      Thanks for the answer. That only applies to legally bought PS2 PSN titles right?

      is there an update guide? How do I enable QA support? Currently on 3.55 true blue. Do I need to go to 3.55 ofw then to 4.30.1? Does this have to be done via recovery or should it be done through the xmb?

      Thanks this is awesome news!

      Go to the Rebug site and download(when the links are working) the 3.55.4 PUP and install it, download the Toggle QA pkg from the same site, run it and it should triple beep and restart the console, then install the CFW you want.

      if you are on 3.55 true blue you will need to install any 3.55 CFW that has peek and poke enabled.

      Then grab the Rebug Toolbox from over here and install it.

      Launch the toolbox then go to Utilities>Toggle QA and select Enable.

      Once you are QA'd you can install straight from XMB.
