Graf Releases "petitboot" Tools and More

Submitted by greg; March 29, 2011

The hack man himself, graf_chokolo, has released some new PS3 Linux tools, which will ultimately be used to dual-boot both Linux (via petitboot) and GameOS. For the moment these tools are for the hardcores; if you're technically or Linux inept then I'd suggest you wait for an easy-to-flash PUP/CFW that does it all. You can find graf_chokolo's entire collection at git.dukio.com. Most notably are the new storage device utilities for creating and resizing VFLASH regions. Also worth noting are the hypervisor utils and petitboot from openwrt, which can now be compiled (petitboot) for PS3. Check 'em all out via git and take a look around. - source: ps3-addict.fr

All the idiots asking for a PSN bypass, take a long walk off a short cliff. This isn't even related to it. Bitching about it on a comment wall that no dev will seriously care to read isn't going to make it happen any sooner. If anything it'll shit up any traces of an intelligent discussion on PS3 Reverse Engineering.

# roxas560 2011-03-29 20:09

there should be a way to block all these idiots who complain about it not being a 3.60 PSN bypass -____- its really getting annoying

on topic, this is great! can't wait till more gets released

# Flavio Correia 2011-03-29 20:19

Finally!! Some updates :)
Last time i've installed linux on bootOS there was lots of lag ... anyone having same problem? (kind of less than 1 second freeze ... and continues)

Maybe it's because i've installed it on a 16GB Pendrive and it reads the disk/pendrive slower than an hdd .. am i right?

Please answer me :) i need some help here guys..

Btw.. Keep up the good working graf!! seriously

# Kcirtap 2011-03-29 20:33

you want PSN so damn bad? Update to OFW 3.60. Until then shit up and wait.

# MR. X 2011-03-29 20:36

can anyone provide us a compiled cfw with this
i mean im a noob i know wht this is for
but i dont know fo rhte love of god how to comile all this complicated stuff
all i can provide for the donation is my respect and gratitude

peace

# Kakkoii 2011-03-29 21:30

I wonder if this could be used to dual-boot two different GameOS's. So you could keep your original un-modified OS to play online with and whatnot, and then have a separate one to boot into that has all your homebrew stuff.

Anyone know if this would be possible?

# . 2011-03-29 21:57

god i can't stand these idiots who call out other idiots on being idiots. its idiotic, take a long drive in your awesome car or steal your parent's and run that vehicle into a wall! use xlink kai, leaf, or another alternative solution, if you want a cfw that plays online, ask sony to stop updating the software so damned often.

# worldgate989 2011-03-29 22:01

Yes, but it involves updating to 3.60.

# Luckikun 2011-03-29 22:42

Are you working on a bypass? NO then stfu greedy C*nt

# Bobbin 2011-03-29 23:03

well, now that YOUVE asked, we'll get right on it. hell we never thought of that until you mentioned it! jeez im so sick of people asking for stupid shit. like its not gonna come out unless someone asks. we dont need 50 people per post to ask for a guide! it will come when its ready! STOP ASKING!

# Ayham Salaymah 2011-03-29 23:17

wow that is big progress graf i cant. i think that the next PS3MFW should add this to its options to make ps3 CFW that. does what ps3 3.55knew and dual-os thnx to graf. i hope this happen. but i got one qustion. if i went to install lunix. do i have to formate my hard drive. or will this just easily make space for lunix with out the need of formating the ps3 hard drive?

good work graf keep it up

# DrEnzope 2011-03-29 23:41

Actually he's giving us something those jackasses sold to us then took back.

# justin clark 2011-03-29 23:55

i like to see all the ps3 homebrew being released but makes me sad because my dumb nephew updated my ps3 to try and play gta IV online lil bastard lol. so know i must wait for a 3.56 update or some sorta downgrader to be released

# Hendrik Wiese 2011-03-30 00:26

Actually he's giving us more than that. It looks like his solution runs within the GameOS environment which apparently has access to all the neat hardware accelerated features the PS3 used to provide only to its very own system.

# felixchess5 2011-03-30 01:21

Does this enable PSN access?? jajajaja just joking, I'm already fed up of the same stupid question as well. Just want to congrat you graf, you're doing it great though sony have you grabbed by... well you get the message. Keep it on!

# Jamaican191 2011-03-30 02:12

Hey guys, i just bought a new 160GB ps3 for playing online again and still got my 320GB for hacking with firmware 3.55. I wish i didn't buy another ps3, but i really missed playing online with my friends and shit. So i guess it's not too bad having 2 ps3 with a nice 46' Sony LED 3D HDTV

# Decius 2011-03-30 02:20

Yes USB devices read slower and write slower than the internal SATA drive.

# Jamaican191 2011-03-30 02:30

I'm a Technician and Sony is fucking asshole and i still spend so much money with them. I guess Sony still got some pretty cool stuff and i really wish they would just give up already and leave the hackers alone and just go focus and something else, like making a ps4 or ps5 or whatever the fuck they're gonna make. By the year 2020 they will probably have the ps13 by then, FUCK there's no telling with these guys. And no matter what, (there will always be somebody out there to hack it or whatever) I wish Sony could just leave the guys alone and let US do whatever we want with our system that we work hard and pay for. Graf your AWESOME BRO and to all the other hackers, THANKS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK YOU GUYS DO MAKING HOME-BREW AND STUFF LIKE THAT MAKING THE PS3 FOR FUN. We ALL APPRECIATE YOU GUYS AND I SUPPORT ALL YOU GUYS

# J Scott Capps 2011-03-30 03:33

You know what's even more annoying is the one's complaining about the complainers! So... just be patient for the releaser(s) of the bypass and be patient for the complainers complaining about the complaints of no bypass released and I won't ever complain about any of you complainers anymore! Got it?!

# SolidMario7 2011-03-30 03:36

YOU HACKERS ARE SLOW!!!!!!!!! RELEASE 3.60

# isotrex 2011-03-30 03:38

For those who wants PSN access follow these simple steps.
1. In the Settings menu, right at the top, is System Update. Select this and when asked tell it to Update Via Internet. The PS3 will then check for any updates. If it finds one the download will begin. The average size of these updates will be in the range of 100 MB so it may be an idea to do something else for a few minutes while it downloads.

2. Once the download is finished it will ask you to hit X on the controller to start the install. The system will restart and ask you to connect the controller with the USB cable and hit the PS button. The screen that shows up should say Firmware Update with the version number and at the bottom you will see X to start the install. Hit X and you see a software agreement- hit right on the D-Pad until you get to "agree or do not agree". Select agree to start the install. Again, this will take a few minutes. When it is done you will hit X to restart the system. A quick reboot and you are done and ready to check out the new stuff.

Hopefully, you're updated and voila you can access the PSN and online content. haha. :))

# Amir 2011-03-30 04:03

ps3 jailbreak i didnt creat this http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H...

# Yousif O' McTariq 2011-03-30 06:43

So this topic means that CFW3.60 will be out soon? SHITT I CANT WAIT

GRAF, WHIP SONY'S ASS CUZ YOU ROCK!

# Emmanuel Gutierrez 2011-03-30 09:44

ok then you hack 3.60

# Mike O'Connor 2011-03-30 11:02

if you have the 16gb pendrive plugged into a usb hub, that may be the problem, plug directly into ps3. type 'free' from a console and see how much ram is avail total. if less then 200k you need to patch the kernel.

# Flavio Correia 2011-03-30 11:18

I have pluged it directly into ps3, however i can only see less than 200MB memory, i can't remember..108MB i guess and only 1 cpu working.. How do i patch the kernel? any tuts out there?

I'm not too experienced with linux, i know the basics

thanks :)

# Mike O'Connor 2011-03-30 11:30

.http://ps3.khore.org/bootos-v201 has a lot of info. Maz11 has patches ~3/4 of the way down the page.

# Mike O'Connor 2011-03-30 11:31

ps3 . khore . org / bootos - v201

# Younnes Afriad 2011-03-30 13:12

Actually... bla bla bla bla

# PiYei420 2011-03-30 13:12

Could I install windows on my ps3 ? And where is the bypass ???? Hurry up don't give up ONE LOVE No HOMo

# jpjl696969 2011-03-30 13:45

Fuck off with the bypass request already. Sony changed their authentificatio n keys and stopped any means of one. I don't see you hacking so lay off the developers. Nobody may be capable right now.

# jpjl696969 2011-03-30 13:48

Damn right. All these fags that updated to 3.56 or higher can suck my dick. Not our fault they fucked up.

# Flavio Correia 2011-03-30 14:22

I 've installed that already but can't see how to patch the kernel

# Caaanh 2011-03-30 15:47

Actually .......

# Charles Lupton 2011-03-30 16:03

That's actually an interesting concept as we now have on the PSP at least an option for this... You can boot both 6.37 OFW and a 6.37 CFW with Neuron's latest release.

# Hugo Lijnema 2011-03-30 16:22

dude... typing lunix once ok... but twice ???? seriously, maybe you should google some things before you comment...

# Hugo Lijnema 2011-03-30 16:23

would really like to know this as well

# sein abdal 2011-03-30 16:35

@xShadow125 You can't overflow user processes, the NX bit applies here, you can only overflow lv2 or a process with higher privileges.

@xShadow125 You can update from your pwn pup only from 3.55 or lower, unless you have an exploit.

@xShadow125 Of course that should be fixed in upcoming lv0 revisions anyway (By moving the ldrs to the top of lv0)

@xShadow125 You run the 3.60 lv0, then you switch the nor, and pull the cell reset line, and you dump the extra KBs where the loaders are.

@xShadow125 Basically you have a nor with 3.55 (or lower) lv0 and your own small lv1 code that does the dump, and 3.60 lv0 on the other.

@xShadow125 You wont get all of lv0 but the part with the loaders shouldn't be overwritten.

@xShadow125 You can actually get all the 3.60 keys/loaders without knowing lv0 keys by dumping lv0 from ram with dual nor and signed lv1.

@xShadow125 That's from an older lv0, the method to get the data isn't the same, the one I posted was a dump, this one is a decryption

@xShadow125 There is a nice way to dump pre 3.55 lv0 as well by using a small lv1 binary, it's a risky process though.

@xShadow125 Oh! You mean my pm ? congrats, you just figured I have had lv0 dumped/decrypted for quite some time xD

@xShadow125 Reminds me of those stupid lv2 overflows I spotted ages ago in the bdemu code, which are useless now on 3.55+ anyway.

Now it's just of a matter of having the major advanced skills to do it, we talking NOR flasher, super-great soldering, extra PS3's to possible waste in the cracking experience, but is anyone capable here to do so?

If so, more recent tweets from Mathieulh, tell you how to possible build a new v3.60 PUP:

i saw this on PSX_SCENE

NOT BY ME

# spy4561 2011-03-30 16:41

I agree, Sony needs to look at the hackers point of view. Hell if I was CEO, I would hire them to find the loopholes in my system so I could fix them...

# spy4561 2011-03-30 16:42

Yes Sir! ^^^

# spy4561 2011-03-30 16:43

No bypass but... Windows 98 or 2000 possibly

# spy4561 2011-03-30 16:44

o that sucks!!

# spy4561 2011-03-30 16:46

Dream On!!!!!!!! lol jk i wish

# David Ribeiro 2011-03-30 16:53

Actually, I think only Windows NT was made compatible with PPC. Other versions will not work as they're made for PPC

# Mike O'Connor 2011-03-30 18:02

maz11 has a megaup link like 3/4 of the way down the page.

I managed to compile and boot chololo's kernel as well. I get:

ps3@debian:/media$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 217632 186536 31096 0 3080 56708
-/+ buffers/cache: 126748 90884
Swap: 463864 380 463484

Two patches from Marcan's git repo were needed to get the lv1 memory. I uploaded the two debian packages. Just extract and install with

dpkg -i *.deb

then cd to /boot and

mv vmlinux-2.6.38-rc6 vmlinux
mv initrd.img-2.6.38-rc6 initrd.img

reboot and check it out.

Hope this helps.

# noneof yourbiss 2011-03-31 11:20

anyone hear of meatloader 3.60cfw being released today?

# Decius 2011-03-31 11:50

You patch the kernel with Graf_chokolo's 2.6 Kernel, it doesn't do much in means of increasing speed.

I don't understand why you said you only see 1 CPU? Should you not see 1 Core + 2 Threads?

You won't get the other 8 SPE's active in linux, only applications that run IN linux take control of the SPE/SPU's and decide whether to run code in them or not.

Debian still requires 256MB+ of ram, until someone slims down the distribution it's not going to run VERY FAST but decent enough that it is useable, and reading/writing from a flash drive is bad it kills it quicker because it has to access it constantly and the USB port isn't an I/O port for those kind of things so expect there to be some lag.

# Jake Powell 2011-04-01 04:44

Yea but where are my games after the update?
