    More news relevant to the recent leak of the OFW 3.60 keys comes to light today. Well known PlayStation developer PsDev has decrypted the Core_OS SELF Files using the 3.60 keys. Many of us are hoping to get a new custom firmware so lets wish him the best of luck!


    About 3.60 CORE_OS SELF Files:
    The files in the download below are all from the 3.60 Core_OS and I decrypted using the 3.60 keys.

    The files that were unselfed were:
    • aim_spu_module
    • emer_init
    • lv1.self
    • lv2_kernal
    • manu_info_spu_module
    • mc_iso_spu_module
    • me_iso_spu_module
    • sb_iso_spu_module
    • sc_iso
    • spp_verifier
    • spu_pkg_rvk_verifier
    • spu_token_processor
    • spu_utoken_processor
    • sv_iso_spu_module

    Also like to thanks naehrwert.

      i want to correct a little thing here:
      he decrypted the Core_OS SELF, not a ELF.
      ELFs are already decrypted.

      I don't understand all the hype around this, really.

      Lets just hope those keys are out there because someone found a way to get the keys from the PS3.

      If we're stuck on 3.60 again, what kind of advancement is this ?
      Makes no sens to jubilate around this.

      From 3.55 to 3.60, really ? o_O

      Most likely those keys were found a long time ago but were never released by fear of Sony's reaction.

      So we're able to play 20 more games and our CFW has 60 instead of 55 at the end, talk about improvement ....

      Call me a whining bitch or whatever you want, truth deserves to be said.

      CS67700: If you discount the dongles, the PS3 scene has pretty much been at stand still for a year. You've had a few homebrew releases etc., but there havnt really been much advancement regarding the PS3 hacking itself. Now that the 3.60 keys are out, there is a small advancement happening, so i guess people are really happy about that, and hoping that this advancement will lead to further advancements.


      ---------------------


      About being able to decrypt the 3.60 Core_OS files, what are the chances that this could lead to CFW? I dont want to sound rude or disrespectful, but decrypting the Core_OS files in itself isnt that much of an advancement if you have the proper decryption keys? I'm curious if it is possible to take parts out of later firmwares and pack/sign it with the 3.55 private keys.

      If you have the 3.60 decryption keys, isn't it possible to decrypt 3.60 and repack all of it with 3.55 encryption keys ?

      Would be a 3.60, but just with different keys.
      Isn't that what TB is kinda doing ?

      I guess that we will know in a few days. Maybe there are some whitelisting stuff in the new OS files that doesnt allow it to be signed with 3.55 keys, but i have no idea.

      TB firmware is 3.55 as far as i know.

      i believe having 3.60CFW would be actually huge step forward in completely cracking PS3, because in 3.60+ to fix vulnerability Geohot used Sony removed all intermediate loaders, which means having 3.60CFW opens up whole new bunch of possibilities to getting per console key of the first loader in the chain of trust or completely few PS3 hardware from any protections. that's at least my understanding, which could be totally wrong though.

      I'm suspecting that keys itself was leaked by no other than E3 team. Figure this - FW 3.60 is lowest possible for downgrade to all new SKU's (300X and latest revisions of 250X), and they DO need to raise up their flasher sales. Later on, when DG patches will be available, they can start selling their new dongle, which, I believe, will be announced shotly after 3.60 CFW hits masses (they could always claim for technical issues, or something else). Now, they just awaiting for dev's input (perhaps they have some skilled already), so hold on for new CFW, lv2diag.self's and DG Patches. The reason keys were dropped out to public annonymously is Crab politics on suing hackers.
      Well strategy, indeed. But as long as scene keeps moving, it doesn't really matters whether they plotting something or not.

      Progress is progress. Instead of whining you should just be thankful and should just take what someones hard work is giving you.

      Unless the game has a 3.6 update that replaces the EBOOT.BIN and all/any .self files.

      If so we should be able to fix the game by modifying the game update.

      I have done this with Earth Defence Force: Insect Armageddon EU version and will test if it works later when I get home.

      @RUT Dark Ronin

      what you're saying makes sense, especially because E3 team is from China and there it's not possible to buy original game even if you wish - i've been to China and there they sell you all PS3 in the store already jailbroken, because of that. however, if E3 team can offer downgrade for latest PS3 models like 300X then that means they hacked "metldr.2" too - that i think is hard to believe, because "metldr.2" was one of the last lines of Sony defense, i.e. make downgrade of the new consoles impossible.

      Nah..the 3.60 keys is only useful to enrich the 3.55 CFW with the new 3.60 appldr keys thus making some more games running.

      well, i know a lot of people are whining about why they release this so late, well if they try to make a CFW 3.60 it would be a big thing for people with console models 3xxxx, i think some of these consoles can be downgraded to OFW 3.60 (the lowest downgrade possible) so yh a 3.60 CFW is not a bad idea

      Hey @Haters It's a gaming console. So news relating to a possible CFW that supports newer games is good news. Don't like it? TOUGH!
