  • PS3 3.60 Keys Leaked

    First it seemed as if it was just a rumor or perhaps fake. But euss has confirmed that they are indeed real. The day I'm sure all of you have been waiting for. The release of some PlayStation 3 keys (lv1ldr, lv2ldr, isoldr, appldr) have been leaked to the masses allowing you to patch 65 additional games. You will need a few tools in order to patch the SFO of your games. Or not. Word is Rogero says a new custom firmware will be made available. So those of you who don't want to decrypt and encrypt files should just wait a little longer.


    eussNL Comments:
    If you post keys in a random topic, you will fast enough be
    marked as a troll. When posting keys, please do it in proper
    format, so it can be easily debunked/proven

    3.60 keys Update:

    Q: recently 3.60 keys surfaced (lv1ldr, lv2ldr, isoldr, appldr), what does this mean for this release and the future?
    A: That is actually a multiparted answer:

    Now that several binairies (Iso module + CoreOS minus the loaders that are inside lv0) can be decrypted, more investigation can be done in them, which give a new boost in (unrelated to the HeN) other targets, like:
    • Hardwareless downgrades : Downgrading with PSgrade Dongle (lv1.self)
    • QA Flagging / systemtokens (spu_token_processor.self) and usertokens (spu_utoken_processor.self)
    • PS2 compatibility (mc_iso_spu_module.self , me_iso_for_ps2emu.self , sv_iso_for_ps2emu.self)
    • Getting per_console_root_key_1 / EID_root_key on 3.56+/slim3K (lv1.self , aim_spu_module.self)
    • Backsigning applications for <=3.55 and patch sys_proc_param_version (appldr.self , lv2_kernel.self)

    Q: So does this mean a future release would be sooner?
    A: Only God knows But it can also be that because of the above, it would become meaningless/surpassed by better progress. So lets all hope for the best
    I will be adding to this article as I learn more. Just wanted to rush this news to you asap.

    UPDATE: Use Deank's EBOOT Fix Tool 0.5 to convert the EBOOTS for you. Just download the keys add them to EBOOT Fix Tool's ps3 folder. (Download below includes the keys, so no need to download them unless using other methods)

    Have in mind that some games (like Sniper Ghost Warrior) have additional .self/.sprx files and it is better to use ebootFIX by dragging the PS3_GAME folder to it - it will find and fix all necessary files. If you use ebootMOD you'll have to search for these files yourself and 'fix' them one by one.
    UPDATE 2: Another Method
    Use SCETool to Decrypt a PS3 3.60 EBOOT.BIN File:
    For those of you who want to decrypt a 3.60 EBOOT.BIN use scetool. Download scetool_0.2.7.zip unzip it to C:\scetool. Create a new folder inside scetool and name it data and download these files here:

    1. keys: ps3devwiki.com/files/devtools/scetool/data/keys
    2. ldr_curves: ps3devwiki.com/files/devtools/scetool/data/ldr_curves
    3. vsh_curves: ps3devwiki.com/files/devtools/scetool/data/vsh_curves


    Put them inside data folder. Put your EBOOT.BIN file in scetool folder. Go to start - run - cmd and cd to the folder were scetool is. For example "cd C:\scetool". Then type this command to decrypt the EBOOT.BIN: "scetool -d EBOOT.BIN EBOOT.ELF" and use this one to encrypt it to 3.41: C:\scetool>scetool -0=SELF -5=APP -6=0003004100000000 -e EBOOT.elf EBOOT.BIN

      Setup scetool as described elsewhere.

      Then use the following command to get the ContentID

      scetool.exe -i EBOOT.BIN | find /i "ContentID"

      Then following 4 commands to de/encrypt the EBOOT.BIN. N.B. np-content-id="output from previous command"

      In the example below is the Euro version of GT5 (EP9001-BCES00569_00-0000000000000000). REPLACE THIS.

      scetool.exe --decrypt EBOOT.BIN EBOOT.ELF
      rename EBOOT.BIN EBOOT_ORIGINAL.BIN
      scetool.exe --sce-type=SELF --compress-data=TRUE --skip-sections=TRUE --key-revision=00,01 --self-auth-id=1010000001000003 --self-vendor-id=01000002 --self-type=NPDRM --self-fw-version=0003005500000000 --np-license-type=FREE --np-content-id=EP9001-BCES00569_00-0000000000000000 --np-app-type=EXEC --np-real-fname=EBOOT.BIN --encrypt EBOOT.ELF EBOOT.BIN
      del /Q EBOOT.ELF

      Do not forgot to modify the PARAM.SFO down to 3.41 from 3.6, in the game folder where you replace the EBOOT.BIN.

      If you are interested I could then post how to repackage the EBOOT.BIN back into a pkg file.

      Must admit I have not tested the result yet, will test the .pkg files I have produced later when I get home.

      Good Luck.

      A lot of this info was gained from other sites, but do not think it is allowed to link to them.

      EDIT: Yes it works, I now have Earth Defence Force: Insect Armageddon (BLES01214) and the GT5 (BCES00569) update V1.13 working with this method :-).

      EDIT: Here we go a batch file script that will do the re-encrypt all in one go

      FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('scetool -i EBOOT.BIN ^| find "ContentID"') DO SET contentID=%%A
      set contentID=%contentID:~13%
      echo contentID is "%contentID%"

      scetool.exe --decrypt EBOOT.BIN EBOOT.ELF
      rename EBOOT.BIN EBOOT_ORIGINAL.BIN
      scetool.exe --sce-type=SELF --compress-data=TRUE --skip-sections=TRUE --key-revision=00,01 --self-auth-id=1010000001000003 --self-vendor-id=01000002 --self-type=NPDRM --self-fw-version=0003004100000000 --np-license-type=FREE --np-content-id=%contentID% --np-app-type=EXEC --np-real-fname=EBOOT.BIN --encrypt EBOOT.ELF EBOOT.BIN
      del /Q EBOOT.ELF
      pause
      scetool -i EBOOT.BIN
      pause

      Lego POTC: sorted the eboot and game works so I already had the psn version so whoop de do, lol
      Deus Ex: which is in the pastie as being able to be fixed - no dice - errors out
      Portal (US): went through about 20/23 of the files needed to be fixed and 3 errors, no dice
      Resistance 3: installed the 5 updates and fix pkgs - loads, black screens after the 3d and move screens, freezes ps3! had to manually power off!
      Modern Warfare 3: tried the 'fix' - does bugger all!
      Lego POTC still works,
      Deus Ex - I could never get it working and havent found a suitable fix from anyone else anywhere yet either
      Portal 2 is now working - I must have had a dodgy rip or something so I re-ripped the game from disc and all is good now
      Resistance 3 - working fine though not using either of the methods from scenefiles - I ended up getting all the official updates and then a separate patch (which wasnt the update5 and patch) and applied that over the top - all good !
      Modern Warfare 3 - Still no dice but heard that was something to do with a tb update not a fix for 3.55 so could be why (that maybe wrong but I stopped trying after I heard that)
      Dead Island - Working with the scenefiles fix
      Dark Souls - Also now working but not with the scenefiles fix - had to get it from elsewhere which consisted of an update and fix pkg rather than just the modified file
      Skyrim - working using update and then patch pkg files - same as some of the others (that ones not even on scenefiles and I used someone else's fix - didnt do it myself)

      This may or may not help some people out but just thought I would report back for anyone having problems

      I was just going to post that the scenefiles fix does not work - still asks you to update to 3.60. Any clues where the update and fix pkg is for Dark Souls?

      Tried the new PS3 3.60 keys to patch Portal 2 (BLUS30732) with Deank's mm_EBOOTFIX 0.5. Tried both the NPDRM and the Retail methods. The patch was successful and the PARAM . SFO was updated with the 3.40 fix. But when the game was loaded it just bounced back to XMB without any error. Tried it both from ExtHDD and Internal. Both with same results. Could anyone help me on this?
      Thanks in advance.

      hi oakhead,

      did you repacked the EBOOT ?

      I followed instructions exactly as described (GT5 euro BCES00569) 113, as well as patching PARAM located in home BCES00569
      It didn't work, got a message at XMB I have to upgrade to 360 (i'm still at 341 HERMES)

      Some information must be recorded during PKG information.
      I did cleanup. Install update 105. Manually deleted the home BCES00569 directory, so there were virtually no EBOOT or PARAM files anymore.
      Again, when I start to launch it, i still have that message asking for upgrading ?!
      any ideas ?

      bye.

      I am on 3.55, but I guess it should be OK on 3.41.

      For GT5 I 'fixed the EBOOT, that I extract from update 1.12 EP9001-BCES00569_00-0000000000000000-A0112-V0100-PE.pkg (as 1.13 does not have an EBOOT).
      I then 'fixed' this eboot using the steps I described.
      I then extracted update 1.13 EP9001-BCES00569_00-0000000000000000-A0113-V0100-PE.pkg
      Added the 'fixed' EBOOT to the USRDIR, edited the PARAM.SFO to 3.41 from 3.6.
      I then repackaged the update using psn_package_npdrm.exe.

      If you do not want to repackage it, then use MultiMan to replace the EBOOT.BIN and PARAM.SFO in hdd0/game/BCES00569. After you have installed all updates from 1.05 - 1.13. Just remember you to install ALL the updates in order.

      This worked fine for me GT5 now working on 1.13 update.

      As for update 1.05 that is only 3.5 and you could already do this ages ago. This is only needed for update 1.10 onwards and you only need to 'fix' the EBOOT from the latest version (or in this case the one before)

      It also worked for BLES01214 Earth Defense Force®: Insect Armageddon™.

      Seems alot of people are having trouble getting certain games to work correctly doing eboots themselves.

      Im sure this will be frowned upon but those of you who want already made eboots
      just google "3.60 keys leaked eboots" it will be the first link.
      than you click "new decrypted PlayStation 3 EBOOT fixes" at the top of post & it will take you to a post which is being updated freq that has the eboots.

      hope i dont get in trouble im just trying to help the page also has good info on the doit yourself eboot fix process.

      Thanks for your reply.

      It looks like it HAS to be packaged.
      What i did, 105-113 updates installation (order ok)
      Get from ftp (multiman) eboot and param files, patched them, and again ftp.
      Looks good ... but I had that message about 360 upgrade.

      As you did, I rebuild a 113 package with 112 patched files.
      Looks better now, I have still an issue 8001003C, but I can see it's loading, so that's far better...

      i really wish everyone would worry about the infamous 2 updates instead of gran turismo...

      i know someone will do something about it, and i hope i find it. to me, there's not much better than fighting people with the move compared to racing...
