Video: Homebrew on PS3 Firmware 3.55


Submitted by greg; January 07, 2011


It's absolute pandemonium! The hack master, geohot, shares this video:
Homebrew on a perma-jailbroken PS3 running 3.55. Pay attention now: this method enables "Install Package Files" as well skips over any signature check. And there is no release date ... yet. - source: geohot

this only enables homebrew on 3.55 but it doesn´t mean you can play your backups.
start backup manager yes--> load game no(no syscall)!
far as i understood.
correct me if im wrong

I'm going to say what a lot of people are probably thinking, "will it have BD emulation?", well we'll have to wait and find out won't we? :P Glad to see a perma-jailbreak though I was getting tired of the procedure, it could be worse but still.

here comes sony with another FW update...gonna have a bunch of updates for the ps3 now that are gonna be useless just to keep people from hacking there ps3 i don't care i'm gonna hack anyway.

Good job guys this is gonna be awesome.

well this does not allow you to use syscalls so not backup manager yet. but great for homebrew! i guess these guys are scared yo get hit by a lawsuit. im still waiting for the other program that reencrypts and resigns pkg files. hope someone will get those 300 dlls!

To be honest I don't think Sony is going to race to try to keep ahead of jailbreak FW after the first few initial attempts (IF that), the intelligent hackers will have it exploited within a few days and Sony will have to update again and again and again.

Sony knows they are screwed, personally I think that they saw it coming for a while, probably had personal knowledge of it, thus their upcoming hardware option releases such as the external CPU and PS2 attachment.

Sony will sell MORE consoles, the real losers of the jailbreak piracy scene is the game developers. Easy fix for that though, just have to release keys to be registered online with each online capable game, anyone who wants to play will purchase.

I'll be honest though, piracy wouldn't be as rampant if game prices weren't so retardedly high, add that to the games being released with less initial content and having to buy what should have been released with it (not in all cases) really makes me turn a blind eye towards piracy.

Yeah I think Sony will profit from this big time. I never owned a ps3 (did 1 and 2) but if this is possible i will be buying 2 ps3's ...mainly for hooking up an external hard drive loaded with movies and emulators with all the old school games. Im really tired of Sony and Microcrap making us watch only video files with certain video and audio encoding. This thing could do much much more and had it we probably wouldnt even be posting right now. I was thinking just to build an HTPC (Home theater pc) but the ps3 is geared more towards gaming and does a much better job in my opinion that a box running win 7... and streaming mkv files from a pc is retarded. The fact that you cant format ntfs or hfs+(mac) and are restricted to files under 4gb is also a getmedowner. So many fooking restrictions for an awesome machine... NOT ANYMORE BOOYA! Thx guys for all your great work... you just got added to the christmas card list!!! GO HOMEBREW!

You guys act like this is the first time developers will loose out... they have been loosing since the very begining of this generation & previous ones as well. they decided to give microsoft exclusives and work better on games that were third party on the 360 meanwhile that shit was hacked since the first few months of its arrival. If they wanted to make money they should backed up the PS3 the first few years since the console was unhackeble at the time. In a way we finally win since developers are just giving us 75% completed games for $60 and charging us the rest in DLC... when u come to look at it u will spend about $85-$90 for a title...

My guess is that geohot is putting terror in the hearts at Sony, obviously hoping to arrange something for himself. The "no release date" stuff means "it's not too late for you, Sony. We can still arrange some agreement, like a well paid job". He manifested his interest in working with "the other side" before, and if this is his real intent I don't blame him. He'd be thinking of what's best for him.

# andrew 2011-01-07 13:58
personally i think that sony will be skrewed either way they try to fix this hack.
on one side they could release an update that would "fix" this, but, any game that was released prior to this update will no longer work under the new release of fw
on the other hand they could just release a new ps3 that would no longer (theoretically) be hackable, but, if they did this then they would lose out as well as aggrivating the entire group of ps3 buyers.
one last thing they could do is plead and beg the game developers to release an entire new set of games that make it unplayable to play on the hacked ps3, and only making these new games available through the play-station network... which would make the ps3 comparable to the psp-go... and well, that hasn't gone over too well, not too well at all....

Sooo...there is no homebrew really worth running on the ps3,I have emulators on my pc,psp,xbox,and my android.Yeah sure linux is nifty...but once we have linux back then what?Impress your friends?The ps3 is a gaming machine..this is why we all bought it.The first two I bought,the BD died..sooo backup managers are godsend to the thousands who were screwed by $ony's implementation of cheap ass parts.(150 dollars to have them fix or replace).So no disrespect to the Devs and their work,but what everyone is waiting for are the games.Hopefully someone has the balls to give the masses what they want rather than pirate bashing and pussy footing around the real goal here.

In reality not everyone is interested in piracy. I buy all my games. You can sit here and try and tell the world you are making legal backups but we both know that is a load of crap. Personally I'm just excited to get my hands on some homebrew for the most powerful home system ever, I think devs could potentially do some amazing things. Dolphin on ps3 running full speed with bluetooth pairing of wiimotes, oh yes - i'll take two please!

I definitely agree with you strahd. There may be some legitimate homebrew fans on here, but most of them are just posing as fans whilst they await Backup Manager support and silently grab the backup enabled CFW when it is released. It has been annoying me to see people speaking of legitimate backups, the only reason I hacked my Wii was for downloaded games and definitely not backing up my bought Wii games. The same goes for PS3. When someone releases a backup enabled CFW, I guarantee you a hell of a lot more people are going to download it than you'd expect.

maybe some devs might find a way to put firmware on a hdd partition and let you choose which one to boot. but i don't think that will happen anywhere soon.

You people are very slow this is the future of the ps3. CFW is the way to go so we can get off 3.41. I dont know about you but I like 3D movies and games and right now if your on 3.41 your stuck also this opens the door for playing backups online. And to answer your questsion downgrading IS NOT SAFE AT ALL!! It can brick your console and also wipe out your hard drive. Besides that I would love to stop using dongles to jailbreak just turn on your console and your good to go and I want to have otherOS back ASAP fuck you sony for taking that from me.

The more prolific this homebrew thing gets, the more random people come here and go "OK BUT HOW CAN I PLAY BACKUPS ONLINE?!?!"

People, I'm waiting for the same thing. Most of us are. We all wanna be on 3.55 and still get to do what we wanna do. It's just gonna take time... just check the homepage once a day, you'll get your updates soon.

This whole PS3 homebrew thing is moving like lightning now. Look how long it took to crack this console: it was released Dec 06, we didn't have homebrew available (correct me if I'm wrong) until ~Oct 2010. And now that we have it, we've found master keys, created signed homebrew, played backups, hell, future-proofed most games even if we CAN'T update.

This stuff is moving faster than most of us would've thought. A little patience won't kill you. Enjoy your single-player games for now, that's what I've been doing! And when we get online, we can watch our 3D movies and play MAG or Black Ops or whatever your deal is.

Does this sound familiar to anyone else? Geohot makes a custom firmware available only to himself, doesn't announce release date? Oh wait that's because he did this before with the whole OtherOS thing then ragequit and didn't distribute the custom firmware he "made". Yeah I doubt this one will hold water. I'll wait for another team to actually RELEASE something.

How about this. Do like I do. Have a PS3 thats official, and have one that is hacked. Play games that are not worth purchasing, MKVs, etc on your hacked one, then play what you are willing to pay for on the official one. I know for a fact I will buy Killzone 3 and play online officially. Everyone bitching but they are not developing ish. Enjoy what they do, or get off this site.

this "SHIT" isnt meant for you. it for developers sharing their work with other developers, and programmers who want to get started in the scene, this helps them keep track of things that have been acomplished, etc. its not for ungratefull idiots like you. How about a thank you? Is there anyway on earth you would get as far as these hackers have gotten in the past 6- 12 months? i bet if we left u in a room with ps3's and tvs for 10 years, u wont be able to accomplish what they have in a month. So CHIll out and wait, just because the stuff has been released one after another these past weeks doesnt make the job any easier. give the devs some time, and let them make sure users dont install something and brick their ps3's. its not as simple as taking the root key and putting it in the file somewhere.

5 years it took to get the "root key"
Most of you didn't even know what a "root key" was until January 2nd of 2011, 5 years after the system came out
Most of you don't realize how huge this is of a leap within 5 days after finding the "root key"
So I suggest, like others have already, that we all (except people actually working on this stuff) sit back, check the news everyday, stop whining about how we want stuff right now, smoke a little or roll til' your floored (if that's not your style go walk, run, jog, bike). Stuff will come and it won't be within 8 seconds of starting, like most of the people here (excluding me).

He might be debugging it to check if there is any errors or bugs in the homebrew.


------------------------

If you ever developed software you would know that it is a complicated process. Were talking about having the algorithm right, making bug free, and making it compatible with all versions of the PS3. Try looking at the source code of some programs and try to understand it. Most of you won't understand parts of it, let along make a different version.

Figure out how to do some rightous hacks then come back and talk, until then sit there and wait your ass until he is fully ready to release it. Comments like yours, if I were Geohot I wouldn't release shit, so greedy and concerned only of yourself.

Community,
Most people are asking "Why doesn't someone just sign yada yada". Very illogical. We are working at making sure that we have the upper hand before Sony strikes with their wave of security updates. We have to have a working way before then. As you saw in the video, George was praying that the system didn't crash. Out of the 21 times we have tested that was one of the 3 lucky times. Notice the other two consoles. Those were the other successful boots. Again we urge patience.

Happy Hackers

Well im not one to usually comment on such things but really people really? Geohut likly has a valid reason for him not releasing it yet. if he got something working and decided to release it five minutes later without testing it for any bugs his cred as a hacker would drop enormously. Also thier seems to be a MASSIVE issue with expectations. Do some of you actually believe he has the time/energy/man power to release this "tomorrow" what type of stupid inconsiderate bull S***t is that? do some of you relize that hacking may not be his only profession.Did you ever consider that maybe he has a job? The guy likely has bills to pay. Hell he may be on his last buck and is trying to use these videos as a way to find a job. (i mean he asked if any of the big three wanted to hire him so....im not saying he is..... just putting it out their as a posibaility)He likely does this in his free time. And this was at most a 'PROOF OF CONCEPT' video than anything. his attempt to show you what he was working on and how much progress was made. most of you guys need to give the man a break.

Or if you even get a release at all? If your positions were reversed, would you speed up a -->FREE<-- release when some kid just called you a nazi??
Everyone of you leeches need to just be thankful that you can even get you grubby little hands on this code, or any other for that matter. You didnt pay for it... Stop complaining and demanding the sun and the moon. (Calling someone a nazi... Seriously???)
CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING. Try something. Im sure youre pretty smart. Give it a try before demanding things. Maybe you will figure it out and be the first to release the ultimate CFW. At the very least, you may learn something new along the way, or help someone else. Instead of wasting everyones time saying crap that you yourself knows will do no good, we should ask questions, do some research, and most importantly...
Contribute something positive to the scene!

Lets all just slow down and let the devs have some space.

To those bickering: Some are claiming "fake! fake!" on the spot.But before we had no type of exploits so yeah it's easy to point a false positive. But now, we have tools to hit the core of the PS3. Also, Geo is a well known exploiter so those calling it fake is just crying out for attention on to cause trolling and warzone in the comments to proceed. Relax. We all should be thankful steps are being made and surprisingly VERY quick. All we have to do is anticipate for the release [ if any ] of anything and can enjoy it, not bicker at a video pointing out its faults as if you the regular viewer has done any type of contribution or have any knowledge attributes to support the PS3 eXploiting scene.

--Newer Update--
Out of every 10 consoles we boot now, only one or two bricks for some odd reason. We believe it to be something with the consoles NAND memory and it's patching of Lv2 at somepoint during the startup. During initial boot up systems loading times seemed increased. After modification of Lv2, these systems were the ones that bricked. Good news is that we have had no bricks of Slims within are last hour of testing (about 40 systems) and our methods are greatly improved. George has told me that he hopes to have this to the masses before Friday of next week or even sooner. The file that we have to do this currently sits at 4MB. The jailbreak can be used on any type of USB Flash Drive.

Happy Hackers

i heard somewhere that you cannot replace blu ray drive because the ps3 motherboard wouldn't 'recognize' it. It is a security issue.. correct me.

Hum ho.
The only part of this I'm unable to understand is why the CFW's?

Surely if for example, we sign a back up manager and some emulators (and other homebrew), we can just plug and install onto the OFW?

Forgive me if i'm wrong, I know very little, I've tried to find things out however isn't this whole CFW fiasco a little bit silly. Considering it enables unsigned stuff to be run- when we actually have the keys to be able to sign things, I'm confused ://... Or is this so that people who have previously downloaded unsigned games can run them without having to reinstall the signed versions??

Logically shouldn't everyone just be working towards signing all of the current homebrews and apps and what not??

Sorry for my newbishness 8)!
Jay.

I now understand some crazy peek poke mechanism needs to be shoved into firmware or something.

And something called kernal adjustment, while i've no idea what these are, it does shed some light on the topic.

I suppose I'll just sit around waiting for things to fall into place and be perfected.
I hope it's soon though!! ^^

This is not a permabreak. It's firmware with no sig check. A jailbreak is different as it allows admin/su access to the system, similar to the way cellphones become jailbroken. The cfw released can't use bm because of that. There was a program created by a team for the 360 that can turn isos into program install files though. If someone wants to look into that and do some work. It would only need to be able to seek an external drive because 8 gb and up games would fill most currently installed hdd's up quick. May need to be cfw implemented for choosing an install location for games from pkg.

If I could back all my games up on the HDD and not have to worry about bringing my HTC EVO with me, it would be great! Hopefully this comes out soon, and before I leave. I already have the SEGA Genesis, SNES, and GBA emulators on my PS3. A stable PSX emu would make my day. Don't get me wrong, i'm not asking for anything(like a lot of others)... just wishfully thinking...lol Thanks geohot, fa1l0verfl0w, and anyone else who is diligently working on the homebrew scene.

# dankweid 2011-01-08 15:30
Nevermind. Tracked down the developer changelog and it appears we won't be able to do this on the CFW 3.55 as the available one doesn't support unsigned pkg files, right?

"Current version: 1.12.04 (January 8th, 2011) (for PS3 systems with support for unsigned code execution)"

I use to mess around with my HTC EVO 4g kernel to overclock and higger FPS. What the kernel does is it sits in the middle of the OS and the CPU like a walkway. When you give a order to the OS it must go to the kernel then go to the CPU so the CPU can take the order. When you start messing around with the kernel its telling the CPU to run faster or to run custom code. I think when we better understand how the kernel works in the PS3 however is when we can run a backup manager and maybe even overclock or turn on the PS3 from a hot start and still be Jailbroken that could take sometime. Lets just hope for the best.

To all the people here saying stop this this your gonna fuck up Sony and they're not gonna make no more good games. STFU you little hoe ass bitches I am so glad this is happening to them. Feel me on this these companies are doing very well in this so called recession and if they really doing bad they will ask for a bail out trust me. Since 2006 to now I have bought 5 ps3's and over 90 games that I beat in a week or so and never play again in my life. This will force Sony and video game companies to make better games and systems in the future. Yes there is good games out there but shit paying $60 plus for a game that I beat in a few days is some bullshit fuck that hack this shit and play free games until these fucking companies that are raping us getting rich step they're fucking game up. All you dev's out there do what ya'll do just be smart you know how sony loves to sue. Be eazy 1

Consoles that can be hacked, make them popular, PS One, PS Two, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, all hackable, all very popular, now that the ps3 can be hacked, it'll get more popular, infact, i went out and bought a PS3 today, only because you can hack it, fuck "backups" i aint cheap, bring on homebrew :D

Is it possible to keep switching between Sony 3.55 and the custom ones? This would be a way to be undetected?

Maybe they could make some type of loader that could boot up and load the orginal 3.55 from sony or the hacked 3.55 custom.

Not sure if this is possible but if so that would make it undetectable. Online play uses sonys 3.55 offline games use the 3.55 custom. A lot of people would be happy with that but some would be pissed as they want everything for free.

Just thinking out loud

So??

What Happen Now?

there is no custom frimware that allow BACKUP MANGERS??

why not just make a way to put the entire game in the HDD but still require the ORiGINAL disc to boot it up? just like xbox. u put install and just need the game to start it up.

if they want the game to load faster this solves their problem. If they dont want the game to scratch this solves their problem. If their drive is fd up. then to bad for you, get it repaired and take care of you stuff.

This, in my opinion, will be the only way go to legit on real "BACK UPS" and solve those two issues above.

I agree, he never released the Other OS hack, the latest releases hes done up to this point were basically taking someone else's stuff and making an app out of it (and yet somehow he's all of a sudden credited with getting the keys himself), and he did make that comment about working for the other side.

If his track record is anything, chances are this won't see the light of day, he just appears interested in getting the fame and playing the game. If it works and it's doable, release it damnit!

(PS, i don't find this hack all that far fetched anyway. Logically, you have the keys to sign a custom firmware or app, you make the app so it updates the firmware to enable the peek poke etc, and install package files (which other people have done before, so nothing extremely new there), then you run the installer, it hacks the system and ur good to go. In all honesty, pretty cool for us, but unless the efforts are released, Id stop giving this guy publicity.

# Rip DVD Movies 2011-02-03 19:35
I found your article on Video: Homebrew on PS3 Firmware 3.55 | PS3 Hacks :: PS3 Homebrew :: PS3 Downloads very interesting. I know a number of people who enjoy ripping their DVDs into MP4 or some other format so they can store them on their PC hard drives. One of the ongoing complaints I hear from them is the amount of time required to re-encode a movie into a format they can actually store on disk. Another is that they really don’t care about many of the DVD “extras” (language options, etc.) and hate the fact that they’re stuck with storing this info on disk as well.
