Maximus AVR USB v1.2 (The PIC18F4550 One) Guide


Submitted by greg; October 22, 2010


The Maximus AVR USB v1.2 ships un-flashed, so before you can actually hack your PS3 with it, you first must load the gun yourself, so to speak. But I see a lot of you asking: What hex file do I use, and how do I program that hex file? Well my good neighbours at My Gaming Mart and Acekard have donated Dashhacks a Maximus AVR USB v1.2. With that I'll show you what to use and how to use it.
Maximus AVR USB v1.2
Required tools
  1. Maximus PIC18F HID Loader (download)
  2. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributable runtime libraries (download)
  3. Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (download)
How to
  1. Download Hermes v4b and extract the archive. You'll find the source code and plenty of different hex files in the "hermesv4b-hex" directory.
  2. Install VC++ 2010 runtime files and .NET Framework 4.
  3. Connect the Maximus AVR USB v1.2 to your PC and press the little red button inside. You'll need a pin or something similar in size. (or pop the top casing off and use your finger; mine came off easily)
  4. Start HIDBootLoader.exe and select "Load Hex File"
  5. Find the "hermesv4b_maximus_avr_usb_v1.2_pic18f4550.hex" file in the hermesv4b-hex directory.
  6. Click Program/Verify, wait for it, then Reset Device.
  7. Eject it from your PC and go hack your PS3 using the jailbreak steps.
  8. And don't worry -- the cops aren't coming for you -- that's just the LEDs.
Links Enjoy!
