Hacking PS3 4.81 exploit to be released by Christmas

[VinsCool]

4.82 update is exploitable

Any source to backup this statement?

 

[mikey420]

This will almost certainly not allow CFW for newer console but if it has the permissions needed to downgrade the system (on supported systems.) The hack will absolutely allow homebrew/game mods/game piracy though the hack would reset every time the system resets.

I definitely read (somewhere) that the update has patched nothing re this exploit.

Im sure the thing i read said: The build date is (weirdly) pre the exploit.

Idps dumper also has been updated for 4.82

I cannot site my sources.. but i will edit this when i do...

Interesting. Hopefully someone else could confirm this

@esc0rtd3w would be best person to ask

@VinsCool

It was lightning mods (?) and of course @Joonie86 of rebug fame, over at psxhax:

Edit had to double post to add pics on iphone....

The latest version of the IDPS dumper supports 4.82 and there have been reports of people in 4.82 still being able to dump their idps.bin

Is it possible? Can we hack our PS3 on 4.81-4.82 to get a CFW?

If it's possible I will give here my WARD XD. I will wait for a tutorial.

Could I fix a RSOD in OFW 4.81 with that ? (Sorry if I already asked though)

You need either
1- a patched firmware to ignore the rsod error
3000 & 4000 consoles and some 2500 consoles cannot do this at this time due to them having mtldr2 and not the exploited mtldr

2- change the phisical nor chip then dump the old one and flash it onto the new one via a tsop programmer then enter recovery and reinstall official firmware to rewrite the corrupt areas created by the corrupt blocks in the old nor
And yes this is a nor issue. You won't get it on 12gb super slims as they have emmc

3- hope this leads to the fsm dongle white list so the correct response can be put I to fsm dongles so you can enter fsm and remap / repair the nor using existing fsm rsod exit tool

Correct, all phats are hackable, and a majority of the 2k slims are.

What about the slims? How do I know which is the minimum firmware? Some of the models on that wiki have different versions for the same model number.

You can try MinVerChk, not sure if it still works on latest firmwares, but if it doesn't nothing bad will happen it will probably just show and error than close the updating menu.

It's like a normal PS3UPDAT.PUP, but when you install it, it will display what the minimum firmware you can downgrade to is.

What if it's the 3.56 version? The wiki says it can't be downgraded but can be hackable. How? I've tried getting into the PS3 scene before but it was a mess and I couldn't understand anything, unlike the Nintendo console ones.

Some messing around with the flash. When the flash writer (if ever) is released someone might give a tutorial for 3.56 CFW installing possibly? Can't say for sure 3.55 and below is a certain though.

If it's a mtldr console then it can be patched for the latest firmware and not 3.55 so you can then install the latest cfw without going down to 3.55
It's called nofsm patching

It's the common way to downgrade

So, if I understood correctly, instead of going to 3.55 to install the CFW, it installs the CFW directly because it can't go to 3.55?

Yes
All cfw's are based on 3.55 the newer cfw's have the 3musketeers patches in the firmware it's self
So what your doing in patching is to flash over the cfw to the chip
These parts are called coreos
Once its flashed you then put the Console into recovery mode and install the latest cfw
As the chip now has the patch Installed as part of the firmware it will now allow the cfw to install without error

Bypassing the need to go down to 3.55 and dehashing the system before installing the latest cfw

So, the PS3 I was talking about is a fat PS3 (thus having the exploited mtldr). Will I be able to patch the firmware to bypass the error just by the recovery menu ?

Well, nope. It's on 4.81 OFW. I suppose this is not a good thing
