Come on guys...Kick off this forum section! Wheres the hacks?

[Aleena]

Of all the places to be looking into hacks I would expect LG to at least have a few of their fingers in the PS3 Pudding.

Custom Firmware Maker:
ps3mfw.com

Loaders, XMB modss, and homebrew

From what I've seen with LGers, a lot of the PS3 community here play it legit surprisingly.

Thats a real disappointment, With the PS3 capable of being an open system now, I would expect at least a gaiaonline bot from the PS3. Especially with the recent port of DOSBOX, I know it isnt that practical of an application to make a .pkgbot but still, Doesn't someone here want to be the first to do it?

heard anything about CFW 3.61 yet? wanna jailbreak my ps3

METLDR -> LV0LDR -> LV0 -> LV1LDR -> LV1 -> LV2LDR -> LV2

It’s more or less the chain of Loaders, I do not know if there are some variations in FW 3.61.

METLDR, can not be updated

METLDR LV0LDR decrypts with the Root Key (LV0LDR Loader is the lowest level, if it fails METLDR) and executes it.

LV0LDR LV0 decrypts with the key LV0-Key (this key can be changed between different firmware versions because LV0LDR can be updated by encrypting LV0 with a private key and updating LV0LDR for it decrypts it with the new public key corresponding ), and executes it.

LV0 decrypts LV1LDR ….

blah …

LV2LDR decrypts with LV2 LV2-Key and executes it.

However, if we want a CFW, we must decipher LV0LDR (with the Root Key, which was published by Geohot and that will never change), change LV0LDR change the encryption key LV0 (it is a key exchange can to decrypt an encrypted LV0 with a private key that we know of) …

What private key? any … since it is us who will impede the key … we figure LV0LDR with the Root Key, you can then edit however you want LV0 LV0 now that is decrypted with a different public key, which we know the private key.
It modifies the whole chain up Loaders LV2, modifying and encrypting it with the new key that we have chosen …

This is the method in its broad lines (when I say encrypt / decrypt, I am not referring to the content of Loaders, because it works with-AES is a symmetric encryption which makes no sense talk about key public / private, I really am referring to the root of these Loaders, signature, which uses RSA and intervene where the public / private key, with the sole purpose of verifying that these were not Loaders modified).

For FW 3.61, the subject is a bit more complex, because the public key-RSA and AES are not easy to obtain, but there are ways to get them, people who possess them, it’s not impossible …

Now he must know that CFW can be installed only if you are on a FW 3.55 or lower, because the early versions use a higher discount new mode, which verifies the packets (data on PUP), checking of new signatures (which did not previously exist and which are now mandatory), we do not own, nor the public key or private key.

We can extract the public key, but the private key can be forgotten, and there is no form of chain to prevent it.
The “updater” is a separate application of FW and nothing to do with what has been explained above.

That said, switching to a CFW 3.56/3.60/3.61, you can not revert to another CFW (ie you are stuck with this version of CFW or an official FW), and it is inevitable. . because, said that in creating the CFW, you can change the VSH (or whatever it is), to use the old “update” (which does not check for new signatures and does nothing to install new CFW).

APPLDR or change to enable us to load the new “update”, but modified to not check for new signatures (the new “update” can be changed, of course, but we must also modify the APPLDR FW currently installed to re-encrypt this “update” with a private key known so that APPLDR be able to decrypt and execute).

So it might be possible, But we wont know until someone takes a hammer to their PS3`s flash and gives it a shot. Someone with money who can afford to fail in this ssitutation.

If i could afford it, i would def do it. But i cant afford another ps3. Getting another 360 though, from michael. And jtagging it so i can host lobbys for LG.

[Datsik]

They should make b.o lobbies for ps3 );

Nice site though,

They do...In fact with custom firmwares, We have our own PSN and LAN / Multiplayer servers outside of sony / SCEE / SCEA / SCEJ
