  • MiralaTijera CFW 4.31: OtherOS++, QA Flag, BD-Emu

    MiralaTijera from Spanish scene site eldorado.net has created and released the first 4.31 CFW not to be confused with some of the spoofed 4.31 CFWs. This is the 4.31 CFW that both multiMAN and Iris Manager have recently added support for in yesterday's updates. MiralaTijera has enabled OtherOS++, QA Flag and BD-Emu as well has some other interesting items in this new CFW.

    As always please use caution when installing a new CFW. Its always better to wait if you are afraid of a possible brick, or do not have the means to recover from one.. If Spanish is not your native language or a language you understand that is more reason to take a bit of caution as some facts can get lost in translation. However it looks like this Developer has done some interesting things with this new CFW. Check below at the translated quote for more info & details about this new CFW.



    Hi, i present myself on this community showing what i been working in the darkness.

    You may ask what this is all about?.
    Well it’s about my CFW 4.31 FULL 4.31, nothing about spoof’s. It’s ported to 4.31. And..

    I give you along with the Os also my (personal) multiTOOL called “core” it’s only a self that loads at console startup.
    If it’s available on right USb port of our PS3 “/dev_usb000/” that among other things this will allow to dump console flash.
    Also activates QA flags (on 4.31 = directly) and exits and start on factory mode.

    Here some specs:

    • lv1 CoreOS hash deactivated for downgraded consoles.
    • lv1 183/182 undocumented ( lv1 peek / poke )
    • lv1 Otheros ++
    • VSH: nas_plugin ( all pkgs can get installed , explore_plugin y game_ext plugin to show the install package and erase that annoying warning
    • message of *epilepsy* (though this is automatic while with QA flag)
      and patches VSH for rif / rap with fakesign.)
    • default.spp: added that memory extra on gameOS for otherOs.
    • lv2 peek / poke , syscall 6 / 7 ,
    • v2 lv1 peek / poke ( opcional syscall 8 / 9 via core)
    • Payload Hermes with ported SC 36
    • APPLDR: lv2 memory hash desactived from appldr ( no need to patch on lv1 ) , dev_flash whitelist deactivated ( loads any keyset from dev_flash ) and ECDSA deactivated.
    • ISOLDR : ECDSA deactivated
    • SPP_VERIFIER: ECDSA deactivated
    • spu_utoken_processor : ECDSA deactivated ( qa flag )

    Here you have the payload to include on C for our managers with fixes and hook.

    Private Paste - Pastie ( payload with sc36 )

    Private Paste - Pastie (lv2 lv1 calls)


    Now let’s talk about = Core.

    It’s AIO (all in one) tool. This CFW at startup search on dev_usb000 if theres a files called cellftp.self and other called copy_script.txt. Also i activated *search function* you can deactivate if you want so just doing this:

    You have to put an original 4.31 sys_init_osd.self inside dev_flash/sys/internal/HERE and that will stop it for search it.

    So i developed a homebrew called core, that allows to end user have more options and tools.

    Remember though that the self has to be on your pen-drive root along with copy_script.txt and flags folder with the flags ( functions ) that you want inside.

    When your PS3 starts up will search for it and execute it. It will leave a log on root called core.log.

    I will mention the more important ones and tomorrow i will explain a little more:

    BD emu flag = Is for if you don’t have blu-ray drive or just don’t work npdrm if you activate this flag, the PS3 will behave as if it have the drive installed.

    Enableqa = Activates those QA flag directly on 4.31 ..

    Dump nand

    Dump nor

    Dump lv2

    Dump full ram

    etc..


    Code:
    Changelog:
    core 2.6.5
    
    changelog 2.6.5:
    
    Added toggle_recovery flag = Warning PHAT wipe.
    
    Fixed 6 flags.
    
    Erased that epilepsy warning.
    
    Core 2.6.0
    
    Changelog 2.6.0:
    
    añadida flag para limpiar restos de flag’s de otheros ( usar en casos de problemas al entrar recovery )
    
    Added flag to clean otherOS flag’s ( use in case that you have problem to enter into recovery).
    
    Changelog 2.5.0:
    
    Added otherOS.
    
    Fixed dumpnandflash flag, now dumps bootloader also to have a full vital backup of your PS3.
    
    ============================
    
    OtherOS boot Tutorial:
    
    1) Start core only with setup_flash_for_otheros flag, when you hear a double beep means that’s the process went well. If you don’t listened nothing = check log.
    
    2) Then put dtbImage.ps3.bin (the one who corresponds to your CONSOLE)
    If it’s Nand = dtbImage.ps3.bin.nand
    If it’s NOR = dtbImage.ps3.bin.nor
    You have to rename it to = dtbImage.ps3.bin and paste it on the your pendrive root in this case we will use install_otheros flag.
    
    3) This will boot up and you will hear 2 beeps, if you don’t listened. Again, check the log. Something failed.
    
    4) Once we done this, shutdown your PS3 and use boot_otheros flag. On boot you will see petitboot on your screen.

    Thanks hermes, i used your cosunpkg and cospkg to align of CoreOs AND payload with sc36.

    Links about all i mentioned above :

    Private Paste - Pastie

    Mirror thanks to “palestina” mod431.rar (67,68 MB) - uploaded.to

    BD Emu function is integrated also on one CFW 3.55 that im currently uploading. This comes handy for example if you want to dump your root key.

    Here =
    hilo_cfw-3-55-otheros-cex-bdemu-sin-controladora-integrado_1862166

    To created our own CFW, just open delta patcher. On original file choose 4.31 OFW from here:

    http://dus01.ps3.update.playstation….d/PS3UPDAT.PUP

    On xdelta patch, hit the patch and apply with check checksum option and keep original file tilted. This will create other file called *NEW.PUP being * name of the OFW you use.

    PUP Hashes should be:

    CRC32: 203E06EC
    MD5: AD09B0CB3C09CFCCAB578E4E85969830
    SHA-1: 7258E1BB84ED6E8AB0F6325A0199B65F82C7ADEF
    Note:

    THIS IS NOT A CONSOLE BRICKER.
    This method was in the shadows for some time and was tested and all systems that allow this.

    I think on give core src once i polish it. Honestly im ashamed about some much comments on this code xD

    Enjoy it.
    I will keep you guys posted on this thread for next 3 days.

      No...To install any cfw you must downgrade your ps3 to 3.55, must be a model made before 2011 to downgrade.. Check the bottom. Then get yourself an e3 flasher or send it to someone on eBay to do it for you (type ps3 downgrade) . If your console is a newer model 2011+ then you'll have to wait and buy a Cobra ode to play backups... should be out this month, check their site.

      So someone is finally releasing the QA token for 3.60+ fw. It will be nice if other CFWs incorporate this into their's as well. It just makes the whole upgrade/downgrade process much easier.

      I'm too newbish to understand everything of this, but I'm happy with the progress. Will wait before it installing it, since I don't speak Spanish.

      @dudamelo ok so wait a sec, if this is a true 4.31 CFW, then technically you should be able to install this from OFW 4.31? why do i have a feeling that cant be right...?

      any thoughts about this?

      I love it when people decide to jump on the bandwagon and make a new CFW but don't answer basic questions about it for everyone.

      Q: Can I install it on a 3k model PS3
      A: NO

      Q: Can I install it on 3.56-4.xx OFW
      A: NO - Not without downgrading and only if your model supports downgrading with a flasher. 3K model PS3's can't downgrade

      Q: Why use this over tested and confirmed working versions of Rebug and Rogero CFW
      A: You shouldn't. Never use an untested firmware if you don't own a flasher

      Q: So what can I do without a flasher?
      A: At the moment nothing. Wait for the Cobra ODE or 3K3Y ODE (ODE=Optical Drive Emulator). MAYBE the proposed new hardware from E3 (check the front page) might be able to help you guys but time will tell on that. None of this hardware exists at the moment but will soon.

      Q: Are you sure about that
      A: I'm positive

      Q: But what if.....
      A: Please read my last answer

      Hope this cleared some of this up for you guys
