PS3 3.55 Jailbreak Released


Submitted by greg; January 08, 2011


Put your hands together ... geohot has released a modified PUP that jailbreak's 3.55 for your homebrew'ing enjoyment; it's a real small PUP too. And to respect geohot's wishes we won't be hosting/mirroring that here -- if you click here you'll find everything you need. Well, not everything -- pkg tools will follow. Available however is geohot's homebrew pkg from this video. So again, click here to download the custom PUP and demo pkg. Note: Current pkgs (homebrew) will not install/run. Please, be patient. We'll keep you posted when those pkg tools are available. Extract and copy the update file -- PS3UPDAT.PUP -- to /PS3/UPDATE on a USB mass storage device. Connect that device to your PS3 and flash it through Settings -> System Update. Update: The test.pkg does not install on KaKaRoTo-created PUPs. Update: I recommend, if you've flashed a KaKaRoTo-created CFW, that you restore OFW 3.55 before flashing geohot's custom PUP. Otherwise the test.pkg won't work. Update: Confirmed working: geohot's 3.55-jb. Be sure to read the user agreement. That'll answer all your questions. Kudos, geohot! Nice work. Update: geohot's pkg tools are available right here. You can clone 'em locally using git:
git clone https://github.com/geohot/ps3publictools.git

Anyone think a backup manager is possible to write for this firmware?

# war breaker 2011-01-08 23:41
still no reason for us with backups to update..besides there still arent any homebrew apps for us to use...its cool, itll come in time in the meantime, anyone on 3.41 might as well still wait for the backup feature to pop up, otherwise if youre on 3.55, have at ya boys, its time to go and do this thing!

so whats different from the kaka's? I mean you still have to have signed pkg's. so what incentive would anyone have to install this except for "ewww OMG new MFW!!!, It's so cool!" and "Backup manager, (exasperated squeal)!".

'Jailbreak'...another buzzword to get us excited, when in fact this is the exact same as Kakaroto's CFW as far user usability goes.

People who don't understand how things work are asking for a bit much though, everything is taken in steps. People are screaming for backup loaders, but it simply doesn't work like that.
You don't just go from private key to running backups.
Nor does CFW always mean backup loader.
I'm not going to give my view on piracy, but Jesus people, thing before you say something, then don't say it.
You're wasting time complaining.

At least GeoHot is trying at all. You may think that what he's doing is useless, but it's all leading to the things you crave, so be patient. It's his free time at his computer doing this shit for you, so have some gratitude. You're all complaining like you've hired him at $100 p/h.

# war breaker 2011-01-09 00:11
apparently this runs geohot's signed pic, and kaka's doesn't so im assuming he found the way to sign homebrew apps and let them run on his mfw, this is a pretty good thing, however, those tools he has not released yet, so as of now, there is no difference to the avg user

# anubis 2011-01-09 00:14
I think what you all seem to be missing is that kakaroto's firmware doesnt have any pkgs/homebrew you can install right now...Geohot however released one with his CFW. tho its not crazy, its still showing that he has found a working way to compile and sign a pkg. IMPROVEMENT

Can you fucking do that?? even in a YEAR??! be grateful for GOD SAKE!!

Apparantly some of you are retarded. George said older pkg. won't run. He didn't say nothing about signing. In fact, nothing needs to be signed. Older pkg. just need to be updated to work. So why don't all go learn some programming and update a Backup Manager because WE WILL NOT BE PROVIDING ONE.

Seriously it takes time because it needs to be done right and in a way that sony wont be able to patch quickly. People complain but geohot and failoverflow have given you all the tools you need to compile signed apps to your firmware calling it cfw - still you think they wanna get sued? You should try doing the work yourself instead of complaining and waiting for everyone to do it for free!

Put your hands together … geohot has released a modified PUP that jailbreak’s 3.55 for your homebrew’ing enjoyment; it’s a real small PUP too. And to respect geohot’s wishes we won’t be hosting/mirroring that here — if you click here you’ll find everything you need. >>Well, not everything — pkg tools will follow.<>We’ll keep you posted when those pkg tools are available.<<

His jailbreak prevents signature checks if you did not see our video. Just older .pkg need to be updated on our packager which WILL FOLLOW. IF YOU CAN NOT WAIT, BUILD A PACKAGER YOURSELF. NOT TOO DIFFICULT WITH SOME PROGRAMMING KNOWLEDGE AND COMMON SENSE.

Your dumb. His jailbreak prevents signature checks. We will release the PACKAGING TOOLS later. This way, you can unpack and repack, you Backup Manager, retard. Also George just said to me to tell you that your a tool. Watch his video again for the part where he says that his jailbreak prevents signature checks.

You all are dumb and don't post here or on the forums unless it's productive,

For one the other one that was released didnt run homebrew that wasnt signed if im no mistaken this bypasses the signed homebrew. So therfore his is kinda useless and this gets us further... All he did was add install pkgs which is still like doing it on the ps3.. Just with a Menu. Useless this aint useless. GEHOT UR A BEAST keep up the good work.

Q&A SHEET FOR RETARDS
Q. Isn't this just like K's CFW?
A. No this is a perma jailbreak which we will not continually update. That you can do yourself.
Q. Does homebrew have to be signed?
A. No. Our jailbreak blocks the signature check. Any available homebrew or ftp server just needs to be repacked by our packager. We will release it at a later time.

Well he meant packaging tools. Even ask him if you see him on the chat later. In the video, didn't you catch him saying that his jailbreak blocks the signature check? He said he posted that because people have been only looking for someway to sign homebrew, not package it. Hell what if we released a signing tool? The homebrew wouldn't be able to be used until it has been packaged.

2. How dose this differ from the other custom firmware.
3. Why is this called a jailbreak and the other custom firmware is called 'custom firmware' Is this just a name that GeoHot gave it?

Props to Geohot on the good work done.

Props also to RavR_By_NytE for at least trying to make people understand.

Seriously it's not hard to underwhat what the difference between the two new Firmwares are.

Also for the people wanting BackUp Managers for these new firmwares. You are not going to get it unless someone else steps into the ring that condones piracy, and makes one, because these guys wont do it.

From the looks of all the retards that post around here it's probably not going to happen for months.

They lied and after they dilivered my tv I knew this because it was only 50hertz. Then they refused to take it back or do anything about it. Then they screwed me over again by removing the other os. Then they release 3d with no 3d anaglyph support so screwed us all again. then they release remote play for viao only pc's. Argggg So I hope backups become possible so I can modify them to work with remote play to my psp. because Sony screwed us with that also. I am also hoping that custom firmware brings anaglyph support to 3d games so atleast most people can enjoy that way at least. Sony screw you after all your lies you get what you deserve. :O)

# JPiccott 2011-01-09 03:29
Ok, from what I've gathered here, Geohot's version is not a CFW, it is a perma-jailbreak (the custom PUP just adds the jailbreak folder permanently), and skips signature checking on the pkgs. Where as Kakarotok's version is a full size PUP, which only adds the jailbreak folder for installing pkg files.

Am I correct so far?

Also, after reading more comments, I've gathered that you must be on 3.55 OFW before installing this, meaning you MUST update your current firmware, 3.15, 3.41 etc, or get off Kakarotok's version before installing.

I have installed this perfectly, the beeping is OKAY just turn the PS3 back on and its done. As for those still without a clue...
1. You cannot use homebrew as of right now.
2. Geohot says "new signing tools comming soon", this was a typo. He meant new packaging tools comming soon.

# JPiccott 2011-01-09 03:31
3. Old homebrew DOES NOT work as it has to be repackaged with the new packaging tools.
This includes all emulators, backup managers etc.

I hope this clears everything up for those who don't get it. And if I'm wrong on anything, feel free to let me know. =)

Yes it is only about 5mb, it isn't a full size PUP, as it only modifys what you currently have. Try downloading the file over, and make sure your on 3.55 OFW before installing Geohots jb. If is still don't work, you can try installing from the recovery menu. Google if you dont know how to get to that. GL!

Amazing Job, but one of the reasons why I'm still on 3.41 is so I can play my backed up games... Hope this will be available soon, so I may move over, once you get used to have all your stuff on HD, it's hard to go back to disk. Esp since you believe that the life span of the BluRay player will last forever if you don't use it... :)

I think one of the worst things about these new upgrades, is the lack of explanation and the how to properly do this. Everybody is either so excited or just want to bitch about piracy while they are still using these updates.
Ok, so let me see if I have this right.

First I must have the SONYS official upgrade to do this. Which means, any update prior to 3.55 must be updated first. So our beloved 3.41 must go bye, bye.

Second, we take our USB DRIVE and create a folder PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP. OK, at this point I am a little confused, I see 4 different files, geohot_1st.self, Lv2diag.self, PS3UPDAT.PUP, test.pkg. Which is the correct file, and what am I to do with the other files.

Ok, so if I am at 3.55 now, I would assume that my Jailbreak Dongle is useless, since I cannot Jailbreak a unit at 3.55. Right. So if that is correct, how do I load the PKG file, since the only way to even use the pkg loader is having the unit jailbreaked?

From what I have read, after this upgrade is properly done, I will no longer be able to backup any games onto the ps3, No matter if it is with the original disc or thru the FTP manager. But I assume that, for example Multimans file manager will still work with any games that are currently loaded? Just won't be able to backup anything until Multiman updates there program.

Am I close, please someone refine this to help me and anyone else wondering what the correct procedure is and what problems we may face.
Thanks for your time. And thanks Geohot and everyone involved in making Sony eat there words!

okay just just installed the .pup that was linked on the page. it was only about 5mb when extracted. I put it in the ps3/update folder on my usb and the pkg file on not in a folder. i put it into my 120gb slim and installed in seconds. the screen went black then my ps3 beeped about five times, then shut off. i had to push the power button to turn back on bc my controller de-synched. as expected my ps3 was running fine... i signed in to psn and then was able to install the pkg. this is so effing amazing! thank you geohot and all the amazing people working on this stuff! now the ps3 will truly be able to do everything

1. If you upgrade you RISK getting your ps3 banned. There is always a risk and if you have to ask, you shouldn't be doing it to begin with.

2. This runs homebrew that is signed.. Which means geohot isn't the cause of current homebrew not working, it just means he's not being a pirate enabler. If you want to play pirate games, don't look to geohot to provide you with the means.

3. You have to update to 3.55 because this is FOR 3.55. If you want to stay at 3.41, then stay there; We don't care.

4. All of the current homebrew just needs to be encoded into the correct install package and signed properly, this is all. When a tool is released to do this, everything we have now will be repackaged and signed like it should be, then will run on 3.55.

Note: This is not a CFW.. It's small because it's a script that changes a bit of data to turn off some checks the ps3 uses. It's possible to change some other data to allow the ps3 to be further jailbroke, but geohot doesn't want that. We hack enough to get homebrew and that is all.

Because he is touting for a job, have you all read this on the download page....

" if you want your next console to be secure, get in touch with me. any of you 3. it'd be fun to be on the other side. "

As clever as he is, why not just release a completed cfw...Because he want's the "Big 3" to notice him.....So he puts a patch out there as a teaser.

People just wait a little longer, some one who's more interested in the community will come along with a completed cfw...then you'll all have what you want.....

Yet more good news. Although running unsigned code is probably slightly less elegant than adding some sort of signing mechanism to sign any package before installing it. I suspect there are piracy fears about this but it is going to happen (and who knows may even be less detectable.....)

Anyway the community seems to be really going for the slam dunk game set match with sony!

I'm delighted to see this being done although would be interested in the opinions of any other members regarding whether it might be more advantageous at this stage to simply sign the apps just incase or whether it genuinely won't matter.

Hi I have a few questions for better understanding
1.Does the current firmware of the PS3 have to be 3.50 or lower or can it flash 3.55 with the same firmware?
2.Where do I add pkgs so they can install(I know none work for 3.55) in to my ps3?

The more I see from Geohot, the more I'm convinced he's a dick.

Use KaKaRoTo's stuff, he actually *shows* you what he's doing. Wake me up when Geohot actually releases some source code. Hell, not a week ago he was offering to work for Sony, so who's to say he hasn't built a backdoor into this thing so Sony can "fix" your machine?

Having just checked the downloads page, Open Manager has been grabbed 100,000 times. I think that there's enough evidence to prove the existence of a community looking for backup managers to be added into the CFW/MFW equation.

I may sound hypocritical, but if a CFW with syscalls was release I'm sure the download numbers would be well over 100,000.

We're still at the mercy at the devs, and I do appreciate all the work they are doing. Many people will still use their homebrew tools, and backup managers would be impossible without the progress they have made.

For all you optimists, over at ps3news they translated the words of a Spanish dev who release the beta of his CFW, which is currently exactly like KaKaRoTos and geohots, but he mentions that he has access to the kernel and is planning to release a backup manager with the next version of his CFW. PS3-hacks might want to post that article over here.

Lack of gratitude is annoying but discussion of alternatives is positively the high road to progress. Anyway the PS3 is as hacked as can be so Let's all sit back and enjoy the ride. Well unless you have the skills required to be a dev in which case I look forward to seeing. The fruits of your labours. Let's all get on folks ok?

Can't you understand the point of pirating games for PS3? They're quite expensive you know, 60$ each is a lot of money. Three games would cost around 180$, I wouldn't mind buying them if they were 10$ each. I am sure there would be a lot more people buying them, for a fair price.

I think comercial rules stinks a lot. A cannot put all musics in one Guitar hero in a easy way, because you must buy the previous blu-ray version (sometimes cannot find in the market, especially in my country), take a code and enter to download the musics but you already have. One time you uses the code, cannot be used again. Confusion and burocracy. Sooner or later BlkCatz will provide one link with all DLC with quick install. I will donate for this, money isn´t the problem. Just bcoz I dont have time to make all the procedures. - sorry for bad english

# anubis 2011-01-09 12:16
most of you should bother reading all the comments before posting questions/makeing assumptions...

1) You HAVE to install this over OFW, istalling it over kakaroto's wont work. You can overwrite OFW 3.55 with this if your already on that. if you on kakarotos just reinstall the original before you use this.

2) This CFW DISABLES signature checks. You dont have to sign anything, you just have to repackage them with his tool he will release soon. So what you will do when he releases it its use his unpacking tool then just repack it with the PACKING tool he's releasing so its in the right format to install on his firmware

3) The file included in this is just a symbol but its proof that he found the right way to package files and have them run. Put it on the root of the USB and Just wait for the tools to be released\. From there it'll be simple (thats an assumption on my part).

Scratch that. If you run the test package be sure to press x instead of going to the XMB and selecting quit. thats what gets rid of ps1 support that is until a restart. The same bug exists if you install test.pkg and then install KaKa's pup. I guess its now back to OFW so I can run Geohot's JB

dude...games USED to be $20USD back in the 1995, when PS first came out. the reason why the price is increasing is because Devs in Gaming company are getting better.

Back in the old days, we had no update, no patches, and you're lucky if it the game actually HAD any replay values.

If you were to compare the games from 1995 to now, we're getting off lucky. heck, if you were to pop in an old game like Rival School or Super Street Fighter or Resident Evil, you'll notice right off the bat the different in graphic, gameplay, and/or longetivy.

then you also have to take in note that we're also using Blu-Ray disc that can hold up to 50gb. that mean more content or graphic or level can be placed into the disc.

so, before you moan about the price, THINK of what including. i'll gladly pay $60 IF the game is worth it, and so far, it is. if you're having issue with the price, then you need to find a stable job or sumding. do newspaper delivery or mow grass...i'm certain you'll get money somehow.

did you put the .pup in the right place on the flash drive? on you flash drive make a folder called "ps3" and in that folder make another folder called "update". and then place the .pup in the "update" folder. so on your flash drive it should be, ps3/update/update.pup. and then update via the settings menu. settings/ system update

Atleast this does something compared to kakarotto's.

Also geohot promised pkg tools later, so you can make homebrew compatible with this.

Installed this just for fun on my phat ps3. screen went black and my ps3 started beeping like i've never heard before.
After a while and alot of beeping ps3 shut down. I was pretty sure that it was bricked, but suprisingly it worked. Test.pkg ran fine etc.

Probably will blow up if I install official 3.55 again, but who knows.

So the PSJailbreak is not necessary anymore?

Hey, if you're having trouble installing the official FW from Sony, follow these simple steps:

Have your ps3 on stand-by.
Press the on button, hold it, untill it turns off again.
Now turn it on, you will hear: Beep, beep, beepbeep. (haha)
Follow the steps on the screen, look for the "Update firmware" option (something like that, it's the last option on the list!)
Put your USB in the ps3, press the option. The update should be in USB/PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.pup

Done. After this, install Geo's patch.

To any skeptics, this installed perfectly on 3.55 PS3 FAT 40GB. Believe it or not, my PS3 is still intact after three years. I'll probably revert to OFW 3.55 just like I did with KaKaRoTos MFW, but since geohot has released his signing tools, I suppose I will play around with some homebrew before a real BM-enabled CFW is released.

Cheers to geohot, I appreciate all of your efforts.

Idiots!!! stop trying to use back up manager!!!
it will not work!
Back up manager requires the use of LV2 and that cannot be done thats why you get the fucking error, why dont people listen, things like emulators will work but not back ups...
I have not tested this but i wish to sign FTP Server, that does not require LV2

Back Ups = NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
Backup Manager trys to access LV2 which is not possible.
Homebrew like emulators dont require the use of LV2, Back up manager requires it to run back ups.
Things like FTP Server Dont!

There`s no LV2 becuase:

1) Geohot is a COCK and thinks Sony would sue his arse (I think they should anyway)

2) He wants to work for Sony and does not want to risk pissing them off (If Sony hire Geohot then there COCK`S for hiring him!)

COCKS ALL ROUND!

@ AceCaanoo

although id be a little mor ediplomatic about it mate your probably right there !!

we need someone with the same programming skills as both failover flow and geohot (not doubting there talent) but who actually has a PAIR to repackage and sign a good working backup manager

of course it can be done we have sonys MASTER KEY ffs

not if the backup manager is singed using the master key because it would only be recognised as an official ps3 product

im only guessing but i presume it would look like you booted it from an official disc or were just running a demo from psn

I don't think anyone is really going to care about the CFW on PS3 until it can play backups.

Homebrew on PS3 is nice, but I don't think people are going to jump on this that quick.

I think people would much rather be able to play free games rather than a PS3 Tetris homebrew Billy whipped up in a week.

Like making a CFW just to show your test.pkg running. That seems like it was just a waste of time. You could have used that time making backups playable on it instead.

haha.

geohot is implying he would like to work for either of the "big 3" game systems (he said "any of you 3"). he's not going to be the one that enables lv2 because he's already been in legal trouble with apple (or so i heard). someone else can easily make a back up manager that will run because the master key's are public.

and people do care about homebrew, the fact that most of these people in the comments want emulators should show that. emulation on a ps3 makes it possible to open up a huge library of games (anything ps1 and before it is possible). people also want otheros (which is also considered homebrew). you nubs to the scene need to realize that not everyone just wants backup managers.

Did you re-sign the pkg for the emulator source with geohots tools? You can't just use old homebrew that has already been created out of the hat, it needs to be re-signed using the keys from geohot during the pkg encrypt to be able to run on geohots jailbreak.

For those not knowing what to do with the tools, the ones on the site are source files only. Geohot HAD the other files on his site including the .exe files and everything set to go, but then removed it and only kept the source up. SO, you must know how to use git/github and stuff to set it all up. As for me, I have no idea about git, so I cannot help there, I was luckily one of the few who got the other files before he took them down. =)

As for using them... I am still having no luck, I know how to use them, but when I actually sign the .pkg files, I go to my PS3, and they only install 14%, then give an error. This is consistant with everything I tried, BM (which wouldn't work anyway), emulators, FTP server, etc. All stop at 14%. Giving me corrupt data which I have to delete.

Anyone have some info I can use??? I'd like to get something going here...

Great Job GeoHot! =)

i also tried to decrypt a pkg using the decrytper from here and it says it only does retail packages !! which im not to fussed about but using the ps3 signing tools i need to try

Thats easy, just google "libeay32.dll", and download it from www.dlldump.com. When you get it extract it or whatever (you might not need to), and put the .dll file into your system32 folder on your PC. ** This IS for windows. =P Thats it, try running again.

Also, Im pretty sure you need another called "zlib1.dll", do the same process if you get another error asking for this one.

If someone installed k's 3.55 cfw and want to install geo's 3.55 first you need to reinstall ofw 3.55 by going into the ps3 recovery

How to Access Playstation Recovery Menu

1. Turn off Playstation®3.
2. Hold The power button down; The system will turn on and turn off once again.
3. Once the System has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps
4. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.
5. You will be promted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button
6. The Recovery menu will pop up.

go to install update make sure you have the ofw on your usb stick set as PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP

and then install geo's 3.55 jb

Couldn't be any easier, thanks geohot, i had been holding on on hacking my ps3 but this time im jumping in.

if you google a bit you will find its already possible to run backups on this JB, all you need to do is patch ur backup, already tested and backed up some of me bluerays into the ps3, luckily i had installed a big HDD not long ago =P

This is where it all really starts!
(and also there is no need to boot up the ps3 with any devices attached anymore just boot and play, yay)

I have just finished flashing the OFW 3.55 and yet for some reason my system keeps telling me that geohots jailbreak is corrupted data. ive tried installing it both in the system update on the xmb and in recovery mode. when i do it from the xmb it unpacks it and restarts then makes a really weird series of beeps then just restarts like nothing happened? Any thoughts?

I get that this lets you play homebrew on your PS3 (not that I need to at the moment, my PC can handle nintendo and sega emulators just fine) but what I don't get is, is this something as simple as "place on usb, plug in ps3" or do i have to go buy special hardware and do something to my console beforehand?

you need to place it in a folder and name that folder "Update" then place the "Update" folder in another folder and name that folder "PS3" now just copy the PS3 folder to your usb stick and run System Update on your ps3 update via storage media and thats it

If anyone didn't notice I should mention that KaKaRoTo-created PUP files don't actually do anything. I did some research and the project is a Proof of Concept that shows you can modify the update PUP XML file for the menus and still be installable. The one that geohot released actually has some mods and does work. If you get 80029564 then you should go back to OFW (just install sony's official update PUP) then install geohot's PUP.

Reply
 

 
# Shinji 2011-01-13 11:39
You know. Geohot's custom firmware works so well they need to make it so that you can wrap up your own PS1 emulation PBPs like you can do on PSP. I took a look at the game folder and it appears that it may be signed or at least it doesn't look as easy as PSP. Who knows. Maybe it is?

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
