  • UPDATES: RUMOR: Dongle Playing v3.60+ Games on Official Firmware 3.55

    There is a major rumor going around about an Indonesian team called KADO claiming they can run copied PS3 firmware 3.60+ games on an official firmware 3.55 console using a dongle called Jailbreak 2. Since this news is going so viral I have decided to post it here for all to discuss, whether it be fake or not time will tell and thus avoiding been flamed for reporting late.


    In the first video we are shown a console on OFW 3.70, he inserts the dongle, goes into recovery mode, presses a select start combination, installs a firmware called "3.55 - Dongle" and plays PES 2012 from what looks like an original disc.

    The second video (Updated link) from you tube, as stated in the first paragraph, shows the dongle in action running the game off a backed up disc.

    i live in indonesia, and here in my country, there is a hot rumor about new dongle called JB2 and can play 3.60+ game burned to Blank BD...

    It also still can play from HDD...

    It require us still on 3.55 (not cfw), use the dongle (without power eject), and it will boot the ps3, then you can insert the copied / pirated bd disc. It already being sold and my friend also the sellers already confirmed it can play FIfa 12 and PES 12 and more game coming soon

    i attached all the pics

    curent game :
    - PES 2012
    - FIFA 2012
    - Driver San francisco
    - God of War Origins
    - X-Men Destiny

    Thanks to psx-scene member Shinintendo for the PM, even though the news was known by me, it's nice to see members getting involved when news breaks out.

    UPDATE:

    First off GaryOPA was able to get more information from his supplier connections on the pricing of the JB2 dongle:

    #1: Retail Price of the JB2 dongle will be around $45

    #2: A lot more newer PS3 game titles then originally isted below are now working, and have been confirmed by one of our trusted sponsors.

    #3: You be able to burn the special game discs yourself, that are used by the JB2 design, and details on how & why will be coming by next week.

    A FAQ was emailed to us a few hours ago for the JB2 device answering various questions related to the device:

    This is starting to look as if it is real, but as always, wait for 100% confirmation and DO NOT jump on the pre-order wagon until then.

    UPDATE2:

    PS3Hax member leksetengah has managed to get a copy of JB2 and released a review.

    Test with ps3 slim
    1. update PS3 firmware with “dongle firmware” ( this is new / modified CFW / 3.55 )
    2. turn off ps3
    3. put on usb dongle
    4. turn on ps3
    5. insert copy game
    6. play from BD icon in XMB

    note :
    1. can’t play with original game / higher firmware require ( i’ve tried pes 2012 original game , but update software needed )
    2. You Still can play from external HDD as ussual.
    3. can’t back up “copy game” with multiman.
    4. can’t play “copy game” without dongle.

    available game :
    Fifa 2012,
    Pes 2012,
    Driver san Fransisco,
    God of war Origin,
    X-men Destiny.
    Sniper ghost warrior

    UPDATE3:

    JB2 update files have been leaked.

    First off for those interested, the MFW and JB2 dongle updater files have been leaked on to the web, you can grab the downloads below:

    Download Jailbreak 2 CFW/MFW files

    Download Jailbreak 2 Dongle Updater

    Second off the Jailbreak 2 is being reversed engineered, for those interested you can read the full documentation via PS3DevWiki.

    So I believe its safe to say this device is probably real, and now we should focus on how it actually works.

    In summary it seems that JB2 is nothing special at all. What they seem to be doing is using something called a DEBUG EBOOT which is burned onto a disc, and is playable on the PS3. So all we technically need is the debug eboot’s for each game which can be acquired via dev network (and people can get this via debug PS3′s). So until Sony takes a stand against these debug eboots, the scene may have found their access to newer games.

    PS3Hax member TheLostDeathKnight outlines the basic idea:

    alright kiddys here is how this works
    1.take retail FW
    2. patch FW to run debug eboot
    3.Rip 3.60+ games
    4.burn 3.60+ games to bd-dvd with debug eboot
    5.add crap drm to mfw
    6. add dongle to validate said crap drm in said mfw
    7. sell dongles and pirated games
    8…..
    9…..
    10. PROFIT

    sounds simple to me

    i.e patch kmeaw to run debug eboots, enjoy, until sony locks down debug eboots xD
    There is also a convo snippet with PS3 dev Mathieulh and his thoughts on how JB2 works:
    <Mathieulh> I kinda figured how it works already
    <Mathieulh> they patched lv1 and lv2
    <Mathieulh> and they have lv2 to check if the self keyset is 0×10 or higher
    <Mathieulh> if so it’s sent to lv1 through a separate hypercall than hvsc99
    <Mathieulh> which sends the self or part of it to the usb hw
    <Mathieulh> which performs some crypto
    <Mathieulh> and returns a decrypted result to lv1
    <Mathieulh> at least that’s what I got out of a few minutes of debugging

    <Mathieulh> I am pretty sure the keys are on the dongle
    <Hewman> as in debug eboots?
    <Mathieulh> 3.60+ app keys

      Well, that "exploit" discovered demon hades was finally discovered by other teams as well, it seems. Peoples, don't buy this, wait for some CFW that will arrive soon. We all know the song, they're gonna try and make a lot of money on this before it's released for free.

      The thing is they try to contain it within Indonesia only, or so it seems. and it doesn't play for now all the 3.6+ games there are, only some of them. Does the exploit need to be applied to each and every game separately? I thought the key was suppose to work on all of them without exception. or Is it other exploit entirely not key related? Questions Questions...

      I believe it's the same exploit included into the JFW.
      There seems to be an exploit making possible the launching of 3.6+ games.

      I think this is probably real. But CS67700 is right, theres no point in buying it. Ive never payed to "Jailbreak" anything.

      looks like you have to go upto 3.70 and get the keys then it takes you back down to 3.55 at a guess....

      Hmm ?
      I don't think so, since there's no more recovery menu. You need a flasher to downgrade from 3.70.

      Hope this will be true & that the team start selling this dongle thanks for the news

      just a guess...but his system was on 3.70 so maybe something on the dongle restarts the recovery menu...maybe it isnt gone just turned off??

      But why it only work for those games? What's in common with those specific games that other 3.6+ are not supported yet.

      No. I am pretty sure that the first firmware shown in the first video is only a 3.55 CFW with a 3.70 spoof. Otherwise the PS3 wouldnt ask for a update file of 3.55 or above when he is in the recovery menu.
      A downgrade won't be possible with this dongle. This doesn't mean it is fake or the video creator wanted to fool us. It is just as amazing that the dongle in combination with the "3.55 Dongle"-firmware is able to make the 3.6+ games being played.
      It is the question if the dongle makes its way to capable developers who can reverse the dongle's payload. Another question would be if there are developers left who want to do this...

      dont want to put my oar in like but has any one noticed that it's 2 completely different consoles that are used. so the down grade etc in vid 1 is nothing to do with vid 2. so could be on complete different systems.

      i know pes 12 needs new firmware and it says 3.55 so something has been altered and its good news for the ones of you that like to try before you buy shall we say but i wouldn't get too excited just yet imho. plus give it a day or 2 and sony will have stopped your fun lol

      this does not look fake. if its true within a couple weeks these dongles will be sold for around 100 a piece. then about 4 weeks after that, either a cfw or knockoff dongle will be out. just be patient, finally we have hope
