If you want to point the finger at anyone, look no further then DemonHades. He has it in his head you should "learn" and then he will release. I am 99% sure he is the one behind the original files. (not math)
Psmaniaco is not the source, just the news poster. Suffice to say, he has been hung out to dry since the files have not been released.
The files that were posted I have inspected, manufacturing_updater_for_reset.self is pretty much just Lv2diag we use already. The Lv2diag released with this set contains alot of interesting text strings, but what stops it running has me stuffed. There is also a config file, half in Japanese & English. Until the Lv2diag has all it's conditions met though, it won't even be read to act.
What I can assume it is checking for:
- network connection to a sony Pc
- the jig is attached
If the first can be located in code and bypassed, then the rest we have and it "should" launch.
