Hacking Ps3Xploit - Now Install CFW from 4.82 OFW : NOR/NAND Software Flash Writer + NOR Dumper Released

[JiveTheTurkey]

What model is your slim?

My model is Cech-2001a, and thankfully I was able to get out of the recovery loop by updating the cfw to the same cfw.pup at the cost of full data loss. I spent an entire day getting all my content I paid for and I'm afraid after booting up the console at one point I auto signed in, I'm afraid Sony now has a log of me on cfw so my next time I go get my games Ill be banned. Or so I think. Is there a way to get on psn through cfw?

 

[JiveTheTurkey]

I just updated to ofw from cfw because of issues, do I have to redo the process to get the exploit or is it already accessible after going back to ofw?

Metldr2

Basically this piece of boot code which was included on all newer consoles will panic when the old signing keys are presented to it. (The keys used to sign CFW updates) in short it does work on superslims that's why they brick. The exploit does indeed give us write access to NOR and does patch it. However this patch triggers a panic in mtldr2 and the console refuses to boot. Just wait as a HEN or homebrew enabler is sure to show but it will be a temp hack

so basically a usernand hack that can be patched via an update?

You might be waiting a few months. If you have the cash I would sell and get one that can be hacked right now.

Hey my PS3 doesn't have the Emotion Engine, so if I installed CFW on my Phat PS3, can I dump my PS2 games and load them on a flash drive?

 

[yoyoyo69]

Not working at all here. Can get the exploit to work, obviously it's a low success. But even then it just freezes on success.

A few times I've refreshed page (instead of clear cookies, etc. then exit browser and redo) and it succeeds but instantly turns off. Tried various usb drives, even a micro sd in an adaptor. Nothing.

 

[yoyoyo69]

Tried few more times, exploit works, even turned off. But firmware corrupt message, so exploit obvious didn't write data over. Give up, absolute waste of time

 

[Ryan1994]

Hey guys i just did the exploit and now can install cfw wich cfw do you guys suggest?

i don't really need to do fancy stuff i just want to be able to do the next things:
1. play backups from my external hdd (NTFS supported if possible )
2. rip my bluray games to my external hdd
3. if possible play ps1, ps2 and emulator games

What cfw would be the best and what kind of backup manager would i need?

 

[Advokaten]

I just updated to ofw from cfw because of issues, do I have to redo the process to get the exploit or is it already accessible after going back to ofw?

Did you just put the official 4.82 .PUP file onto a USB and update through Storage Media to go back to OFW, or is there additional uninstallation steps?

Going to link to the original article to give credit where credit is due and for the sake of time

If you're just looking to use the exploit and don't care to read through the whole article I have taken the liberty of putting the exploit on a webhost for you guys already that you're more than welcome to use if you would like and will put the instructions at the bottom of the thread.

• PS3 Phat: this CFW installer will work for you
• PS3 Slim: Will work on most models, but you have to check your factory firmware
• PS3 SuperSlim: This release is not for you

Spoiler: FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions & Additional Notes

Why am I getting a corrupted file error?

• Redo the exploit and try again

Will this jailbreak my SuperSlim?

• NO, (PS3Xploit has strong possibility to eventually evolve into a HEN style exploit (that aspect will take some additional development and time, at this time PS3Xploit exploit has not evolved enough)

I can't move when inside the recovery mode, what happens?

• You need an official, USB plugged, DS3 controller when in recovery mode.

Is my PS3 compatible ?

• PS3 FAT : ALL compatible ! don't ask or worry.
  
• PS3 Slim : CECH-2xxxxxxx, it depends on the PS3 model (run a tool to check first! look on the next FAQ question)
• PS3 Slim : CECH-3xxxxxxx NOT compatible
• PS3 Super slim : CECH-4xxxxx NOT Compatible

How do i know for sure if my PS3 Model is compatible ?

• You must have a PS3 Console that has a Factory Firmware of 3.56 and below.
  
• To check, its easy with this simple tool for OFW, Download minverchk.rar
• Then place the .pup file on a FAT32 USB Flash Drive in a PS3/UPDATE folder (create path if needed)
• Now on the PS3 XMB goto Setting ->> System Update >>> Update via Media Storage
• Once shown on the list select the PUP and install, shortly after there will be a message showing the factory firmware the console was shipped,
  
• For this we want 3.56 and below.
  
• ANYTHING HIGHER THEN 3.56 IS NOT ABLE INSTALL A CFW. Sorry this will not work for your console, but there could be a HEN (Homebrew Enabler) possible for running homebrew, but additional research and time is needed for achievement, additional details can be read here.

Is a Quick Compatible Console Chart Available ?

• 
  

I don't understand this picture, please help!
There are three types of chipset memory : NAND, NOR, and EMMC. You need to use the corresponding exploit!
CECH Axxxxxx to CECH Gxxxxxx = NAND.
Everything else is NOR!
If your console use NAND, you need to use the NAND exploit.
If your console use NOR, you need to use the NOR exploit.

• PS3 FAT/Phat : Determine the chipset type based on the FIRST LETTER of your serial number, and use the corresponding exploit.
• PS3 Slim : NOR ! got to NOR !!! There's no other chipset type, don't even think which one to use. Answer is NOR !
• PS3 super slim : not possible (yet).

What is the basic purpose of the Writer & Dumper Tools Release?

• The dumper is to get a backup of the nor chip
• The writer is to jailbreak your console. (Adding a patch to OFW to allow CFW installation)

Can I install a CFW lower than 4.82, such as Rebug 4.81 or an earlier CFW?

• Yes, but first you need to install a CFW 4.82! Then you must Toggle QA Flag. Once the Token is activated you have the ability to freely jump CFW versions. (see below for details)

How do I Toggle QA Flag?

• When on a CFW download & install >>> QA TOGGLER (Standalone), (Note: Will just show a black screen then reboot the PS3 and returns to xmb. A Restart is RequiredA fterwards though or cfw syscalls will be disabled (meaning your CFW patches will be disabled until the next boot, so a reboot is required after the Toggler exits back to the XMB.)

Should i use the "999 Downgrader" vs "Toggle QA" to install a different CFW?

• No, installing the "999 downgrader" PUP on a 3.56 minver console, it will brick the console, simply just Toggle the Q/A Flagand play itsafe and is so simple to move from CFW versions (up and down from version to version).

Can I install another CFW without enabling QA Flag?

• Yes, as long as its Syscon version is the same than your current firmware version (4.82) or higher, such as the modded version of Rebug 4.81.2 with its Syscon patched to 4.82 (CFW available in the unofficial site linked above!)

How to go from Ferrox 4.82 to Rebug 4.81?

• Question already answered TWICE above in this FAQ. Question also Raised Here
• you can't read the FAQ's answers located above? here are the answers AGAIN:
  1) Install QA flag pkg, launch QA Flag to toggle its state, when it returns to XMB, shut down your console. Now you can install another CFW from any version.
  or
  2) Install the patched Rebug version with syscon4.82

Do I need to install Ferrox first if I want Rebug?

• No, you can directly install the special modded version of Rebug 4.81.2 with its Syscon patched to 4.82. (CFW available in the unofficial site linked above!)

Remember ... if you have a console with a bad BD reader, you must install a CWF NO-BD.
It happened to me and many people too

Did you just put the official 4.82 .PUP file onto a USB and update through Storage Media to go back to OFW, or is there additional uninstallation steps?

I used the OFW from the link provided by OP and updated through Storage Media, now I got all my purchased content and will try cfw after backing up.

I'm not sure piracy is encouraged here

 

[aos10]

no, it's not

i am not asking where i should download the games, i am saying where i should copy the files on PS3 in order to play that game,

it doesn't have to be for piracy, for example if ripped the PS3 game using your PC, you will have the game files.

 

[chrisrlink]

so what 2k slims can't use this method and what stock HDD capacity should i advoid? thinking of gettin a 2k from a small shop soon

I'm going to say 99% there will be a super slim hack, how long I don't know.

There should be a GAMES folder on your ps3 hdd. Place them there. You can either FTP them over or copy it via usb multiman
