PS3 Exploits - Official & Custom Firmware

Myrddin

Following on as we mentioned earlier, we are taking some of the load off of the big PS3 thread, in an effort to clean up the information and make it more accessible.

We've had good indications from a similar Limux thread, so with this thread I think it's a good idea to move all firmware discussion/problems etc here.

As of now, there are the following choices:

Sony Ofiicial Firmware 3.56v2 (the v2 was introduced to repair a bug in the original 3.56). Homebrew removed due to new private keys, PSN requires this firmware.

GeoHot Custom Firmware 3.55 - This fimrware only supports pkg's signed using GeoHot's PS3 signing tools. It also does not support being able to use Syscall 36/37 (Peek & Poke), meaning backup managers do not function on this firmware. No PSN.

Waninkoko's 3.55v2 - Waninkoko's second attempt at CFW, after his first attempt proved to completely brick old models that had the 256Mb nand. Syscall 36 & 37 have been patched in, it will install signed & non signed pck's, & there's another function that allows the user to dump the contents of LV1 (Hypervisor) through LV2 (GameOS). There is also a new payload introduced, which is a combination of PL3 & Hermes. This payload will apparently not work with other cfw's. No PSN.

Kmeaw's 3.55 - Much the same as Waninkoko's, syscall 36 & 37 have been patched in, it can install signed & non signed pkg's, the payload can be selected via Kmeaw's LV2 patcher. It doesn't support the dumping of Lv1 through Lv2 to my knowledge, but that's really only a dev feature anyway. No PSN.

Wutangrza's 3.55 - Much the same as GeoHot's, with the exception that Lv1 & 2 is or can be patched allowing Backup Managers ro run. No PSN.

That's the jist of it so far.

I've been using that feature for a long time. I think it turns off the controller after 5 mins. Great for saving battery.

Yeah, I've been using it since it was added as an update ages ago. What's the difference with the new update?

You can change it from 5 mins to 6 mins, or whatever other time you see fit.

And 3.60 slams the door on homebrew - no more loaders or faffing around, just a new lv0.2 that's been signed with the new secure key.

Bad news for modders

Edit: I know 3.56 didn't allow homebrew but that was a minor change, the removal of actual loaders is a big step.

Yep, it's back to square one. I see form reports team Rebug has released a 3.60 spoofer that's allowing PSN access. Too early to tell if its the real deal though, as PSN is always much more 'open' after a firmware release. Hopefully it'll be killed, I really can't stand another round of evil hacker debates.

Also, 3.56 to my knowledge doesn't allow homebrew due to the new whitelist, what makes you say it does? 3.56 slammed the door, 3.60 is turning the key closed.

I may have worded my edit badly, but I didn't say 3.56 could run homebrew :P I effectively said your last sentence, but without being so dramatic

Ugh, my brain made "I know 3.56 did'nt allow homebrew" read like "I didn't know 3.56..."

wonder would Mathieulh now release the info he has on 3.56 metldr exploit in this case ? ...if he's not bull ****ting, surely it might be handy now in the hands of the community

would be no logical reason to hold back now, if 3.60 + as i understand it doesn't use metldr anymore ?

Depends, he's terrified of being a bold boy so I doubt he'll release anything. If his exploit could possibly gain control of LV0.2 then for sure we won't see it. If not, he'll still be hoping for the job at Sony.

Besides, with the exploit out in the public, there'd be no influx of requests to massage his ego.

about time, i thought this should have been standard feature, with a sleep timer in ps3 controller, thats one feature i liked on the xbox and you did not have to configure it!

Installed the Rebug PSN 3.60 Spoofer last night and can access Vidzone again now :-)

A well respected developer who goes by the name drizzt, just tweeted a chat log belonging to Mathieulh. In the log, assuming that it’s true (or genuine), Mathieulh says that he has codes running on firmware v3.60; but added that he’ll keep it to himself. Ouch!

Update: Mathieulh just tweeted a video of custom firmware v3.60 running on the PS3. This video was made by winocm, which he says, “here’s that 3.60 hack that’ll never be released.”

3.60 jailbroken, looks legit !!

eta vid is gone !! **insert conspiracy theory** it was the real deal anyway, i saw it with me own eye's !! the vid had a ps3 running 3.60, he showed it, he went on to show the new cloud saving feature in the xmb, which is a 3.60 thing, he had his package installer on the xmb, and he installed a signed .pkg,

it was the real deal,

Looks legit to me, its actually better demo'd than the very first usb hack vids. As to the point of releasing videos, I don't see it generating anything other than n00b worship...but then, maybe thats what it was designed to do?

Does it even need to be released? No, I can't think of a single reason why this is needed. I'm delighted they've found an exploit, but keeping it to themselves is wise for the foreseeable future, full functionality is still retained on 3.55, & it will only tip their hand to Sony.

I say keep it hush until there's something to be gained form it.

Edit - Seems there's certain people saying this is a debug console, due to the fact there's some ip message or something at the start of the video. I havn't seen Mathieulh's video, but I find it very difficult to believe he'd be in possession of debug fw 3.60, unless he has a contact or something. He also doesn't strike me as the bullsh1tting type, from looking at the other vids, I'd say the exploit is real. Unless debug FW3.60 is floating about in small dev circles, but most of them are mature enough not to create hoax vids.

I posted about it in the general ps3 thread, and as its not firmware related we can discuss it on that thread.

i have, didnt want to risk anything, uploading a .pup that isnt mine, isnt a bright idea,...

but... I've built a v2, with the updated framework tools available,

patched self/sprx to playstation.net/com/org sony.com/jp, bitwallet.co.jp, qriocity.jp, trendmicro.com, allmusic.com, intertrust.com, marlin-drm.com, marlin-tmo.com, oasis-open.org, octopus-drm.com
ideal for leaving your ps3 connected to your network for streaming and not having to worry about anything

system 3.60 spoofing

unwanted icons

but it aint fully working yet, the icons are still showing !!

anyone can do this, i'm no bigtime hacker, there's a gui availableto do this, its just tick the boxes on what you want done, input a path to a unmodified .pup, set your output destination, and build !!

dont know if i can link to it tho, (although there are tons of lnks on how to cfw a psp)

although it is dmca compliant, but mods remove if thats not good enough for us here on the emerald isle ?

Today we are proud to present our second official release, PS3MFW Builder v0.2. Just as the previous release, v0.2 is intended for firmwares 3.10 and above. Extensive testing of the framework and tasks has been successful with all versions above 3.10, the majority of tasks are also successful below 3.10. PS3MFW Builder v0.2 contains many new features that further improve usability. For this new version, PS3MFW Builder and the tasks have been moved to seperate repositories on git-hacks.com. Builder 0.2 adds new functions to aid in the creation of tasks, with 2 bug fixes. For programmers, the new core offers more flexibility for tasks and allows to manipulate the user interface better.

Furthermore, several exciting new tasks have been created. The most interesting one is a new privacy patch, which keeps PS3 from sending personally identifiable information to many configurable domain names: After jailbreak became available for PS3, reverse engineers discovered that the PS3 collects a multitude of personal information without your knowledge, such as such as your TV model, a list of all usb devices (including product IDs) you ever plugged into your PS3, usage statistics, which games and media you play and more.

The Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) specifically allows for consumers to circumvent technological protection measures in order to protect their privacy. Even though there was little doubt concerning the legality of PS3MFW Builder before because it in itself does not circumvent any technological protection measures, this new feature makes using it inside the USA fully DMCA compliant.

Additionally, PS3MFW Builder v0.2 allows for several new customizations, including a firmware version spoofer, a way to edit the look and sound of the boot sequence by inserting your own coldboot files, and a task to replace the default “Airbush” XMB theme. Now it can also create modified firmwares that can be installed on PS3s with broken Blu-Ray drives as well as create firmwares that can convert demo (kiosk/shop) units into regular retail PS3s! A bug that prevented USB storage devices from being shown under Game Data Utility was fixed.

The new PS3MFW Builder v0.2 and tasks can be found at www.git-hacks.com/ps3mfw

Is there a way to run the payload for Kmeaw firmware automatically instead of what I'm reading which says it must be run every time you boot the console?
