[Vidboy10]

I was wrong!

 

[KingVamp]

Fuck the what.

You have some strange methods of determining if a scene is dead or not. I mean, have you tried checking any of the PS-centric forums/sites? It's still exploding with new homebrew and such, and people just go online to work a day or so ago.

If you're not seeing any news hand-delivered to you, it doesn't mean it's not there. Try searching for it.

New payloads and (sadly mostly illegal) homebrew is being released all the time. Just cause its not on GBATemp doesn't mean it isn't happen. Check PSX-Scene.com etc. for PS3 news.

Not really, Ever since Sony started crushing the fuck of the the Homebrew scene I stopped looking on forum sites about the PS3 Scene.

So don't get all angry with me.

 

[Rydian]

When did they crush it?

And I never said they fully crushed the scene, I just lost interest when I read that article about the scene being totaly fucked.

 

[Rydian]

People just started sending them out without any labels since they look like flash drives.

 

[GeekyGuy]

I hope it's either bullshit or something Sony can quash instantly. It's not a moral matter for me -- I have a modded Wii and use a flash card on my DS. Thing is, I want to continue to enjoy online gaming on my PS3, and I know for a plain fucking fact that will die if and when the system can be fully hacked. I fully appreciate folks wanting to play free shit on their PS3, but I'll gladly continue to pay so I can have fair play online.

 

[Rydian]

Does anybody else remember the rumor that the original jailbreak team had the master keys for the PS3? Allowing them to do all sorts of things Sony wouldn't be able to easily fix?

 

[Terminator02]

Im pretty sure Sony is gonna fix this as fast as they did with the jailbreak itself. Sad.
I have a PS3 but im not gonna jailbreak it, i want originals only

this, i'm not interesting in hacking consoles unless they are fool-proof, plus i don't want to get banned from PSN

That's the current way to bypass that

The PS3 scene is getting smarter everyday...

 

[VashTS]

this thing sounds so fake. they are gonna steal everyone's money.

Fool-proof.

It was hardly a big impediment.

 

[shakirmoledina]

ps3 is being hacked unconventionally ie. IMO they are using extreme measures to oppose whatever is brought about by sony
downgrade is a great thing like the ipod firmware for many

If they could, why would they not just sign their backup manager and make it check for the dongle when it starts, then sell the two together? Then it'd always work, and no-one could clone it because to do that they'd need to get the keys, which would mean they'd be at no advantage over purely Sony signed binaries, because the signed would be the same.

 

[Costello]

if they are able to run some sort of downgrader tool, why is it that they arent able to run the actual jailbreaking tool directly instead?
unless this uses a completely different method...

I already said this on page 1 or 2, and people theorised that perhaps this could be something outside of firmware.

I'd like to know more about this "factory" mode though. Can it restore ANY firmware? Can it run unsigned code? Can it restore unsigned PUP firmware files?

EDIT: Quote I was referring to.

QUOTE(SifJar @ Nov 12 2010, 01:22 PM) But I don't see why if they can downgrade from 3.50, they can't "jailbreak" on 3.50? If they are capable of booting into a mode where they can install a lower firmware, surely they can run unsigned code at some point in the process?

This might be something outside of the firmware.

 

[Rydian]

I don't know how this could work, I don't know nearly enough about the PS3 to make a theory other than "it's something outside the firmware".

this thing sounds so fake. they are gonna steal everyone's money.

Isn't that what everybody said about this team when they released the original jailbreak device?

And yeah, we all know THAT was fake.

Wait.

 

[indask8]

The only problem I see with that team is their huge lack of organization (delay, delay, delay...).

I think this downgrade thing is legit, just wait and see (Maybe Sony will put a stop at this, their domain is .com, I think they can ask US to seize it under dmca).
