  • Pimp My Self Released - PS3 Kernel Self Rebuilder and Signer Tools

    Today, the anonymous dev, behind such projects as the PS3SX emulator, has released a handy tool for developers, called Pimp My Self. This tool is completely written from the ground up, but is based off of fail0verflows work. The tool properly rebuilds and signs the PS3 LV2 self files, which will come in handy for devs developing their own custom firmware.


    Download: PimpMySelf_Release.rar (1.24 MB)

    The author asks that if any bugs are found, to please report them on this forum or in #psgroove on Efnet

    Readme:

    This tool is here just for helped you to mods your Kernel self
    tested on LV2 kernel 3.41 and LV2 kernel 3.55 so maybe all other
    but found bug on sprx .

    beware you have a risk of brick if you dont know what you are doing
    waninkoko cfw exemple .

    usage : PimMySelf.exe versionsuffix input.elf output.self original.self

    exemple : PimMySelf.exe 341 PatchedLV2_Kernel_341.elf PatchedLV2_Kernel_341.self LV2_Kernel_341.self

    please verify your elf first dont use any broken elf or the ps3 will get this revenge lol .

    Thx to Fail0verflow for the original work and thx to Xtse for the keys i think it's all

      Didn't brick mine :P world like something more stable tho. Something that won't crash the system when you go to video section.

      Well, now with PS3 close to be totally owned i expect sony finally move to the next stage of consoles developing the holograms to be hacked and owned again.

      Exiting totally from subject of topic for a while

      What i really want for games is the holograms because i have played a machine called Time Traveler on my oldtimes, 1991. Since then i have this love to the holograms.
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omoAWvDm2_E

      I want my games in this mode, without cilinders and in a 22" size. Because i belive it can be done to sell.
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BFKC...layer_embedded

      The high definitions on hologram already work now, for me will be the future new generation and i will be have total satisfaction when i see and play it. After this i belive the reallity virtual games will come real matrix style, you conect your brain to the game... But i are only dreaming a lot Hehehe.

      I expect you guys forgive-me for this travel.

      Rofl, I don't know how many consoles were bricked, but it was funny to see the amount of complainers.

      Dumb people who can't read / want want want and don't understand the risks of trying something in a developmental / beta stage.

      I really think you guys need to read instructions. I just flashed my 7th Ps3 (4 phat 3 slim) without any problems. My only issue is that I can only use 3.41 pkg's to install shit shit instead of 3.55

      That's how waninkokos cfw works, u have to use 3.41 signed pkgs. And btw I read before I flashed unlike so many others, and wouldn't you know it... I didn't brick.

      What phat model #s did you successfully flash? I'm hearing all over the place that the models with 256MB nands brick, as well as all the backwards compatible units, will brick undoubtedly. I'd like to hear from someone that has successfully flashed a "will brick" model.

      I just translated this page in google and read through it. Seems promising. Can anyone that has a bricked unit from waninkokos cfw try this out and post the results? I don't have a bricked unit myself (I never try anything this new until its tested, thankfully), but it'd be interesting to see if it works. People on other forums are saying the only way to recover the brick caused by waninkokos cfw is with something like a $1500 chip programmer, and it requires soldering miniscule parts.
