PS3 3.55 CFW WITH PEEK/POKE! - BACKUP MANAGERS CAN NOW WORK!

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Netkas and flukes1 have successfully managed to patch the lv2_kernel in v3.55 to allow peek & poke syscalls.

v3.55 CFW UPDATE WITH PEEK/POKE (ALREADY MADE - READY TO FLASH!) -> DOWLOAD NOW!

Patch to add peek and poke syscalls to PS3 firmware v3.55
by flukes1 and netkas (irc.efnet.net #ps3test)

To create the patched PS3UPDAT.PUP:

1. Use bspatch to apply PS3UPDAT.PUP.bsdiff to Sony's official 3.55 PUP, which is available from their website.
2. Run this from command line: "bspatch PS3UPDAT.PUP PS3UPDAT-NEW.PUP PS3UPDAT.PUP.bsdiff"
2. Ensure that the md5sum of the resulting PS3UPDAT.PUP is:

337831fac6a9b05074f73710c4bb7c86

Simply install the patched PS3UPDAT.PUP onto your PS3, then install geohot's jailbreak.

Our PUP can be installed over any firmware version, including 3.55-geohot. If you install over 3.55-geohot, you must reinstall geohot's jailbreak afterwards.

For developers: peek is syscall 6, poke is syscall 7 (same as PL3 dev payload)

Props to mastag22, lastExile, Killer_In - our testers with balls of steel.

Enjoy!

NOTE: Current backup managers may not work correctly in their current state, but now with these important syscalls added the backup manager authors will be able to change their code once the right offsets are figured out for the ram patching of the other needed functions from the original dongle payloads!

Thanks to sorrowuk for informing us of the great peek & poke news!

Great news, didn't take quite as long as I expected.

any video proving that it works? Pardon my rudeness but i don't want to brick anything.

haha I was about to post it outside of the no convo zone too.

[bedrock]

Is peek/poke enough for the backup managers or do we need syscall 35/36 also for redirection?

[mikerock98]

didnt they brick a shit load of PS3 last night.......id like to see a POC before this gets moved as well.....no offense guys.....great news if it works though!

[malinki]

Well, seems ok here - not flashed yet but .pup was easy to create and md5 hash matches....

PEEEEEKAAAAAAAACHHUUUU Poke just got hot

Wow this is coming quicker than I expected time to surge through my three assignments and chuck out my jailbreak devices

I would be interested to see what this means for games like Gran Turismo 5 and the title update for that game, how how compatibility will improve compared to 3.41 jailbreak. remember a lot of games not due to 3.42+ firmware had black screen issues if this is no longer a problem

Kudos to the devs .Lets hope this threads not going to be another piracy debate .
