Gaia Signing!?

[moha99sa]

Hello,

First of all this not for piracy! I don't encourage piracy.

Secondly, sorry for the bad English.

I am trying to test Waninkoko’s FwPKG tools. So I downloaded the tools and I compiled them.

I ran the tool “FwPKG” and I got the following:

Encrypt PKG: ./fwpkg e <output pkg> <files...>
Decrypt PKG: ./fwpkg d <input pkg> <output filename>


Then I took gaia v1.04 pkg and tested it. I got the output file.
As he said it should be a signed pkg!

My question is, does the output file “sgaia.pkg” is signed!
Actually, I cannot test it right now because I am at work.

Any idea?

I attached the file in case that someone want to help in testing.


Thanks,

It may very well be signed, but 3.55 won't work with it because it doesn't have the syscalls required for it to run yet. As of now those are supplied by the payload, and there isn't one for 3.55 They would have to totally reprogram to make it work without the payload.

I've just read a post by Dean indicating that it is for signing .pkgs located in firmware updates.

And even if it was for signing normal game packages, don't the contents (especially the EBOOT.BIN) have to be signed too?

Isn't the big problem right now npdrm?

I think that to test this pkg we need to:
1. install the pkg file using the jailbreaker device
2. restart the console without the jailbreaker
3. open gaia

what do you think?

I can't wait to test it.

The Eboot.bin file is already signed! It is copied by backup manager without changing the contents. Am i right?

Exactly. While the package may very well be "signed", certain of the contents (notably any selfs, e.g. EBOOT.BIN) of the package must be "signed" also for it to run properly on a nonJBed console.

And seeing as how makeself of the ps3tools doesn't seem to work yet (it would be so lovely if it was made to work soon), there isn't any easy way to sign a self as of this writing (AFAIK). So it does no good for a package to be signed if the required part of the contents are not.

The gaia EBOOT is not signed, so how will you run it on a nonJailBroken console?

You are write in thinking the EBOOT of a game ripped by a backup manager is signed, but ths does no good when the backup managers EBOOT is not signed itself. At the moment you still need a backup manager to launch a game (signed or not) and in order to run a backup manager (unsigned self), you need a jailbroken console.

If it were easy to sign homemade selfs, it would have already been done.

Just tested it, doesn't install for me using 3.41 + jailbreak
Isn't fwpkg for packages inside a .pup update not applications?
