Video: GeoHot "Jailbreaks" 3.55 Firmware - Runs Homebrew

[Doggz]

right!

so i can understand geohot and failoverflow perfectly well. It´s not just distancing from piracy like they say. it´s distancing from the shitstorm which will be raining totally in the face of anybody who whill take this step and its screaming "you are sooo ****ed, greez sony"

Exactly! Whoever does this.....well lets put it this way, we'll have to do a collection or something as they are going to need plenty of stamps, calling credits and a nice change for when they return. You get my point.

bring on the custom firmware but why not have one that just runs in debug mode

i picture like a 3.55 running in debug mode with syscalls and have a loader to switch back to your original firmware or to run linux

that way you could have a firmware that runs in debug so could play backed up games and homebrew have linux for devs or anyone that uses it or switching back to the real sony firmware and also to have the other two partitions hidden then sony wouldnt know
that you have a hacked console then when ya wana game with ya legit games go to ya real sony os and ya can update that go on psn and all

Not a bad idea, but people are naturally greedy and want to do all with the minimum of hassle. Yes they want to play backups, but online. Yes they want to play online, but with the backed up games they have. I don't know where this is all going and where it's going to end up, but I can tell you now. I'll be glad when it gets there!

maybe we pack them a fully hacked playstation 4 (based on their work, cause sony will repeat their mistakes blabla xD) when they return so they can enjoy a littel bit of the things they started some years ago :P

well once we get bacup managers working they need to add PSN support

[djdavedoc]

I wonder if its possible for someone to find a way of patching the Payloads that we had for 3.41 Jailbreaking on Geohot's Jailbreak (when it eventually gets released?) that would enable Syscalls thus allowing Backup Managers to be used.? Long shot?

[Aristoles]

nah i guess it has nothing to do with cracking games. i dont really get the magic behind this at all, but i think (as postet so many times before) we need a custom firmware that allows the backupmanager to alter (use, modify? dunno ) the syscalls so backups can be played. Just read trough the other posts and comments, there will be all the info you need. Thats the smartest thing you can do right now, until things are settled and somenone shows up with a good solution. but i will let this done by the pros

Okay, then explain this to me:

What does the jailbrake USB key do what an Modified Firmware can't do?
I dont get this.

simply: it tricks your ps3 to run unsigned code. And a modified firmware has the purpose to run code signed as if it were sony´s code, and at the moment no one has done this with an backupmanager so he can use the syscalls to play backups.

If you upgrade to 3.55 with any of the custom fw, then psn already works normally. I believe the custom fw is just like the ofw but enables homebrew. Correct me if Im wrong.

But if you are talking about playing backup games on PSN, then you will have to wait awhile for that. If people are too scared to enable backup managers and a way to run backups, which they have every right to be as discussed above, then they sure as hell wont enable backups to be played on psn. I say we have a good month+ until we even see backups enabled on/in the custom fw; just guessing lol.

Euhrm... the firmware can do just that: trick the ps3 to run unsigned code. It just needs a modified firmware.
I don't understand the problem.
