Unless you have been sleeping under the rock for the last 24 hours, you most likely heard about PSJailbreak modchip which allows backups to be booted on PS3. Demonhades and SKFU provide their thoughts on PSJailbreak below:
SKFU (via Blog)
I just tested the software they uploaded and can confirm it works so far.
I can tell a bit about the backup manager. It seems the software uses bd_emu features to manage the backups. The HDD to use, should have a modified bd emu format, which sets all backups on first position, so the PS3 detects ‘em all. Then you can choose the image to boot via the manager.
To directly copy and boot a game, the software would need to decrypt all layers on the fly. Meaning it decrypts all executables somehow, else it won’t run. Even on a debug unit.
The hardware look like a copy of the original PS3 jigstick, used in SONY service centers to repair broken PlayStation3 SKU’s. Someone internal leaked or sold a stick, so they had the chance to reverse and clone the hardware.
The stick should boot before the normal firmware does, so it’s hard to patch it. Maybe SONY could update the bootcode to prevent it, set it to a revoke list.
By the way, in all videos they use debug PS3′s to run the software. There is no video showing the actual process booting on a retail PS3 afaik. So I do not confirm that this is true, yet!
If it’s as true as it looks this time, good job guys!
Demonhades(via Blog)
Well I see that recently raised a stir is mounted by a chip of course to load backups from a pendrive, at first glance one might say it’s fake if we did not know of studies conducted years ago and let us see many more hidden things that not all users can understand, in this case we speak of the card jig, the jig is used by the card sony sat for maintenance and restoration in ps3.
In short, this jig card has been removed from the payment sony sat.. so now try to expand the money spent only and once recovered the money spent in obtaining this device the reproduction and cloning of the device will be imminent.
When I saw the body of the above, first I noticed that the sample vsh known and used parts of a debug.. and of course if one is launching retail which does not make much sense, could only think one way quickly- THE CONVERTER RETAIL TO DEBUG.
This converter is thought to sony and service for devs have this jig card (aka USB dongle), allowing this USB is that:
Releasing the boot ini dev_usb0 and a sequence of buttons that change the state of syscon as we launch the initial boot usb dongle, then interprets the bootstrap and load the necessary files from the dongle itself temporarily leaving the ram doing a false reboot.
According to the store have told the seller, no residue on the PS3.. so it fits the above description.
The idea is quite clear gentlemen, emulates the fw of trm syscon and we have a debug interprets loading the kernel debug and providing all the features to debug vshmain time, this results in loading unsigned code.
This allows us as I mentioned months ago to launch pkgs from ubs, since it has a browser for managing them.
The official BDEMU disk loading before you activate the mediatype BD and then run the loader to the channel of communication with the real reader would be closed and only would use the BD-emu, emu and the bd can not share the same channel communication.
In this case to remove the layer is used to extract cellftp to an external source of filesystems without pre-decoded and converted to debug layer.
Executables can be created with the sdk, and generated their own loader which removes the layer of encryption (this if it will extract the discs, not linux), then the PS3Gen (published as a matter of 1 month) can be create iso patched with valid soft.esto itself mean that everything is made in the PS3 SDK (emulators, applications, etc) will be loaded without problems, as we are doing the same as the 360 with jtag hack it uses a core debug.
The loader is loaded by the execution path that recognizes the actual application manager, loaded via app.
TRUE GENTLEMEN OF THE NEWS WOULD BE A GREAT TIME AND NEWS bad news… Let me explain:
1. NO SERIOUS WORK DONE BY HACKERS OR RESEARCHERS.
2. MATERIAL IS MADE LIKE THE MAGIC BATTERY FOR PSP WITH SONY TOOLS.
In short, PS3 has fallen to the very tools you use in your SAT Sony… that if Sony can plug it into the next update.. just have to cancel the initial boot usb to close the bar, because the boss is syscon.

thats what i was looking for , thanx pirate. However , they mentioned that once you patch it
you cant roll back to the default status , but there is no write process ,it is just some data run
from the dongle ? can you explain that please ?
08-20-2010
12:12 PM
the part about how all the videos are made with debug consoles is wrong, the dongle is adding a few debug menu options to the xmb....geez if they were all playing on true debug consoles then how did they do it befor richdevx patched the manager.pkg to run on true debug consoles? ****ing common sense people
also i have never heard of a slim ps3 debug unit and there is a vid of a ps3 slim running teh jail break

08-20-2010

Yeah ps3 slim test units do exist.
Based on what Demonhades stated this is actually pretty lame. Nothing was hacked, someone simply leaked the dongle and it is now being cloned. Making the manager.pkg was the only real work that was done.

We finally have something that looks ligit, its what we have all been waiting for. The way it works is pretty sweet.[Blockbuster anyone? XD] I cant wait for the files to released as a download, so we can make our own. As i am not paying for something that will be free. anyways.

Source for PS3 Slim debug please.
When PS3 internals were reduced in size enough for Sony to release the slim it enabled them to fit the debug hardware in a PS3 phat shell, which they released not long after the slim.
PS3 hasn't seen any drastic internal size reductions since then, so I don't see how the debug hardware could fit inside a PS3 slim shell.
08-20-2010
01:55 PM
Well we got this far, so not long to go if its true. Ive put the pkg file on a usb ...and well nothing (yes i know it wouldnt do anything) What if used the JIG files we already have, and copy them over... ?
Looks like the Power on- eject is a trigger much like how Power on - R1 was for the pandora battery...

I don't go to that spyware infested site, and don't particularly trust their news either, but will search the FCC site to see if there has indeed been a slim dev unit released.
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
Well, I searched the FCC database and no new Dev units have been submitted since the PS3 phat form factor DECR1400A.
I checked the Google cache of the link you gave, at only £350 it sounds like a scam to me.
The latest Dev unit:
DECR1400A
The original Dev Unit:
DEHR1000
I just don't see how they can fit it all inside a slim case.
More photos and manuals available at the above links.

There are no slim dev units, just revisions of the phat one that came out when the slim was already out.

He didn't mention a dev unit, he mentioned test unit/debug unit, they are different:
PS3 Test Unit/debug unit.
DECHA00J/DECHA00A Similar to CECHA00, for debugging PS3 software.
DECHA007J/DECHA007A Similar to CECHA00, for debugging PS3 software.

ok i call fake now, all the videos are fakes they are just playing a video on the ps3 making it look like its doing stuff j/k
lol, this thread is now about the validity of slim ps3 dev/debug/test/tool/demo ps3s? wow.
ps jailbreak is real the dongle is a reverse engineered sony jig kick stick, i love how the hackers are trying to reverse engineer the reverse engineered..... i just hope there is a DoItYourself method of making and flashing a dongle

OK, my mistake.
08-20-2010
05:34 PM
Im sure soon enough, someone will release a program that will flash ordinary usb sticks, to make them into Dev/JIG sticks. The flashing lights are just 3 LED's timed to switch when the process is complete, much like how an ordinary usb flashes when information is being read or written to.
So i dont think there is anything special about the stick in question, just the files. Im guessing if all goes well, we should have our own little sticks by christmas time :D Or just like the psp, where you had to lift the pin maybe the soldered underneath one of the pins to kick start the debug mode?
Also didnt someone say you have to have the jig stick in just with retail consoles not debug?

The chip is soldered a certain way (They suck at soldiering for $170 it should be flawless) And you can't see in this pic but theirs a 102 smd resistor which could just be for the led. But if you guys are wanting to make your own I think you might ned to bust out the soldering iron or wait for the Chinese knock off.
08-20-2010
06:06 PM
Guys we are paying for 4 years of a machine not being hacked, if this jig leaked 6 months after the release of the ps3 it would be priced at 50$ at best lool. lets wait for it to be released, in the upcoming weeks it will be hacked, clones will be made if that can't be hacked and will sell for half a price or better.
08-20-2010

Yes, there doesn't seem to be anything special hardware wise about the jig.

If you are asking SKFU and DemonHades on an an opinion on this you clearly need help. I don't understand why you just don't beat your head against a wall, you're likely to get less misinformation and bull**** extrapolation and a lot more facts.
These scene panderers have done nothing but stack traffic and dangle false expectation in front of people.
I can tell you that I am no where near fully grasping the work Mathieulh, Disane, Geohot and the rest of the real ps3 devs have pulled out, but I can tell you I'm a million miles ahead of bull****ters like SKFU and DemonHades.
Getting an opinion form these peeps on the jig is like asking Lady Gaga what she thinks of the Afghanistan invasion.
Get a ****ing clue.
08-20-2010
06:43 PM
ha @ the last part. XD. @ Mattr92: What i meant was the we will all have it by x mas, as in it will be common place, not the release :D sorry for the misinformation
Also for 170 the soldering would be machined not by hand. it could also be where the people who opened it have scratched it?
08-20-2010
06:54 PM
I dont have time right now but later I want to try several methods of writing the debug/test Firmware to a USB drive and doing the power-eject method. Wondering what magic is at work. I would try using rawrite to to the MBR (after setting up the stick to have one) with the test FW. I have a few other ideas ill try later on.

i have noticed that when it is turned on in the requied method that my stranded sandisk flashes as if it is being accessed just a heads up and another thought try to make BD iso very small and rewrite the cd portion of the sandisk with BD iso with the self files for service mode or the debug firmware more thoughts
08-20-2010
07:08 PM
@ Mattr: whos picture,geos or demonhades? Its plausible, just because geo has "left the scene" doesnt mean he wont give up trying in private, afterall he posted loads and look where that got him, and the bombardment of comments... : \ Its like saying just because you dont hear from a band for years (TOOL) doesn't mean they stop producing music, they are just working on stuff.
So who ever did this we have a lot to be thankful for :D

I can confirm a couple of things.
1. FAT32 is currently supported. They are working on NTFS.
2. They recommend staying on current firmware and not updating until they have deemed it safe. The dongle is fully updatable.
3. Online play does work but they cannot guarantee that it will work with all future titles.
4. Final retail units are ready to ship.
5. Official reseller list will be on the site in the next 48 hours. You can pre-order from any of the official resellers.

@ Mr Snake man guy XD. I dont think geo made this. I think they picked the name because of the iPhone, and well you know what jailbreak meeeaaans XD hehe. Personally i wish they called it something more original. like ps3Pandora XD at least then there is nothing to get confused about.
08-20-2010
07:58 PM
Ya the name is just because everyone is familiar with it those usb's have to cost under $20 to make and ship they must be making BIG profits of this of this. but that will be shattered when its leaked
08-20-2010
08:08 PM
The Oz company will be shut down, due to going out of business, once the free version is made. the only reason they are selling it for so high, is because the JIG files are Sony property, and god knows how it got out, probably by some pissed off employee.
Ah sweet sweet irony, how i love thee. PS3 taken down by its own creators.

they probably only just popped up, speaking of jig files, i found Lv2diag.self and PS3DAT.PUP on different site, could we use these?

08-20-2010

They've been around for a few years. I'm sure the release of PSJailbreak has no bearing on whether they stay in business or not, there are plenty of mods for all the other systems that they've been selling and will continue to sell.

im curious about the previous leaked jig files too, i remember reading that they couldnt use the files because they lacked the software to run with it. Would this psjailbreak manager be such software?
im sure with what we already have and this new addition im sure the devs will create something free for us all

the next step is creating the homebrew that will make the jig permanent then doing it every time or use it to do research on the ps3 that will help to find flaws on the xmb and hypervisor for exploits.
08-20-2010
10:39 PM
Ok i'm now putting a quest out there for all. my theory is that there is sub part in on the drive hidden( think of a sandisk cruzer with out the actual storage device storage, aka the 4 gig or so.just the small cd part). that is then loaded with a raw file (possible the pup file for debug mode ). the drive format might be a similar to the magic stick(like the one need for a Pandora battery). and then when the PS3 is triggered with the proper sequence, it loads the file firmware off the usb drive. the man chip still might be kinda important for the fact the chip only holds one file system and that there is no storage of course. and the light seem like a stranded HDD light and if the ps3 was pulling the firmware from the usb it would locked in use wouldn't u think. so you get a steady light. so again just going off info that i can find to my limits, but these are just an ideas on how i think the chip works. so if im wrong correct me please becuase with more info the faster we can make the darn thing
08-20-2010
10:39 PM
The PS3DAT.PUP file is the firmware in which the base runs on. there are several PS3.PUPs due to the numerous amounts of firmware releases.
the other file is for Debugging Lv2 there is a TXT file as well just detailing what is going on.
Im sure with the amount of research that is going into this, we should have something by the end of the week most likey. My years of waiting for homebrew having finally meant something :D

Another thing, say if we get the dongles (buy them or otherwise) and make a backup of a game via this backup manager, and install it to the ps3 HDD.
Then make up a backup of the HDD via the actual backup system we are given by Sony, would it copy the game? If so, that would mean we would be able to transfer games across to other areas, once we have figured out where everything is stored.
The legit Sony backup program copies across data we install via swap magic for emulators too :D So, its just an idea, that could well work...
08-21-2010
10:55 AM
I wonder if you can install games from the psn store for example if someone got into a beta and downloads it on the proxy and shares the link then anyone can download it to their pc throw it on a usb and run it.
08-21-2010
11:37 AM
I´m also wondering about a few things. Can debug units be downgraded to a lower FW?
I´m also wondering about homebrew. Right now you need the official SDK to make programs right? Is it possible that in the future their could be a homebrew SDK, like for the ps2 or psp? This way the programs would no longer be illegal to post.
Also the Backup Manager program can be considered the 1st homebrew app, right? I know it was made with the official sdk but that program didn´t exist before or was it already a program for the dev kits?
Anyway backups are great but I´m really looking forward to massive homebrew straight from the XMB.
In theory we could have a ps2 emulator and Linux running from the game os, I think. Isn´t Linux possible both on the Wii and 360? I´m not really up to date with those console and homebrew, although I own a Wii.
The real advantage for me right now with the abilty to play from hdd is the fact that I would save the laser on my precious ps2 BC PS3.
08-21-2010
11:59 AM
@aries2k: I think debug units can be downgraded although im not exactly sure. Although, the guys who did the NAND flash (i forget the name) they downgraded their ps3s so for a dev unit to do it, is plausible. As they have more permissions than those retail locked ones.
Im not sure of the legality of the sony apps if someone made a Homebrew SDK wouldnt that still be illegal? I cant wait to play my bought games on the HDD, that would be just pure awesomeness. There is a way to use Linux on teh 360 via the King Kong exploit, although i dont know if they do that anymore.
Having Linux run from the GameOS (as it would boot into Linux anyway) is doable, as its just a switch that they have turned off. Im sure the dev ps3's can still access it - somehow. I dont know why Sony dont let us copy our legit games on to the console rather than having to go through all this?
But hey, at least we get homebrew now, would be nice if it was free, now :D I have tried making a Jig Stick with the 3.41 PUP + Lv2diag.self files. But no dice, all it did was take a little longer to boot up. Yeah it would save the laser tooo. Long time no seeeee XD
08-21-2010
02:34 PM
hi glitch.
yes dev units can be downgraded, but we don't know if what we got there is a full debug or not, we only see the install pkg (like the debug) but no other options were shown.
If you would build your own SDK i guess it wouldn't be illegal, but i am not sure about it, the hack to run linux, lets put it this way run Shell and then run linux, that was used by the king kong hack is not anymore its on the jtag hack itself (its a diferent form of the king kong hack the same hack but triggered in a different way) so yeah we can still boot linux.
and your idea is really good Gliitch.
08-21-2010
03:20 PM
This is great for the scene big time!
Looking forward to the next week or so
to see how this all pans out.
08-21-2010
03:58 PM
@Pockets 69: I guess we will only know if its a full debug mode if someone can get a hold of this jig stick and scroll down to the end of the XMB- it should then show extra options, but until then, as you say we dont know.
Oh the JTag hack where you have to add a few resistors, and solder some bits or something like that, my memory is a bit shady as i came out of hospital a few months back.
Im guessing that putting the jig files on to the USB and booting was a good idea? I reckon we are almost there, i think im missing the last piece of the puzzle and thats how the USB stick is formatted...
In ext3 maybe? A) its linux so no wonder windows cant find it.. and B) PS3 supposedly doesn't support EXT3 but for recovery it may well do, as it is very stable, one of the most stable file formats out there... that being said, Linux would have picked it up, perhaps it comes up as unformatted in GParted, could well be hidden, or formatted with different file systems to house different parts of the files.... part ntfs to put one file in, and ext3 or whatever it is to put the other file.. so thats why we can only see part of the disk... Oh another idea, try formatting it to the PS2 filesystem?
To test my theroy out, i am going to boot the ps3 into recovery mode, and use a EXT3 formatted disk with the PUP on there and in the correct Folder sequence i'll see what happens..
08-21-2010
04:04 PM
@gliitch I wish that was the case that you could throw some files on the usb and put an ipl on it like the psp , but unfortunately its an MCU so a regular flash drive isn't going to work.
08-21-2010
04:10 PM
no i don't think its 3rd extension file system, it might be a custom file system, but hell who in his right mind is going to try to dump anything using windows, this has to be done in linux with a snifing tool.
Edit 1
ok found the video its on this very thread, but anyway he doesn't show the machine before as someone said, still there are no videos scrolling through the other options of the XMB, but i have been thinking if we install the hybrid debug firmware and then, use this dongle, we might be able to get all debug functions what you guys think?
08-21-2010
04:49 PM
@ Pockets: So there is no, *Install Files folder on the game menu? I dont think anyone will, but ive read somewhere that the jig is not recognized by any OS i wish they would use the dd command and turn the files that it spits out into an ISO file, then we can read it
the problem with the hybrid debug is that we risk bricking our consoles, but if you are ballsy enough to do so, then well im sure we could give it a try.

With what backing? The phone call alone would cost a fortune. I'll do some googling
see if that brings anything up, im sure the blueprints are bound to be around somewhere...

Not that easy most international laws have no legal ground (i don't know how to say this lol but i think you get what i mean) in china.
And the blue prints aren't anywhere, our only chance would be the angry foxcon employee XD

I was gonna say, there are folders already there when you boot it up, BEFORe the second usb is even put in. no worries dood. Within a week or so, we hope to have our backups running :D without paying the over bloated fee. Im not gonna ring china but i'll try my damedest to get this ball rolling :D
besides in a week or two it wont matter :D
Regarding the foxconn employee, we did get the files didnt we? .. so it cant be that hard

i dont care for the backups only for homebrew
but yeah i don't want to pay that kind of money, if in any way the jig can't be cloned/dumped well i guess we will have to pay for it or wait, talking about wait, STILL no stance from sony on this issue XD caught out of the blue just like the rest of us XD

I was thinking this, maybe just ringing up the ozmods place and asking about the usb ( as if you looking to buy one) they are bound to know more then us, seen as they actually have the usb dongles.
just ask questions like 'am i paying for the files on the usb, or the actual usb, .......is it just a standard usb?'
put them on the spot like a reporter
might get some worthwhile knwoledge out of it

@Pockets: well I want legal backups, not the ones i didnt pay for. :D but home brew oh god yes, homebrewwwwwwww!!! XD Yeah i think they are sh*tting their pants right now, or as soon as it goes on sale to the public XD @ ryhnor, sounds like a plan there, superman XD.

XD lolol at sony for ****ting theyr pants! :P
anyway OZmods could be viable solution, but they are in the scene to they know, our doubts so they might not answer anything, i just would like to know if the jig only gives you the ability to install pkgs or gives you a full debug that would be my question!
So who is making the call... :P

yeah someone, ring ozmods bearing in mind its an australian number, the number on the website is (03) 98 172 172
just ask some questions on what the actual usb contains, i dont see why they wudnt give the details of the usb with a bit of persuasion and assertivness. If you just make out you are going to buy one, im sure they will.

Seeing as I am in Portugal there is no way i am making that call, but an Australian user here on the forum could.

Im from the UK, so i cant make it. But yeah, a Aussy could :D Anyone here from Australia?

From the looks of the place on street view on google maps, it just looks like a little shop, if we call them up they might reveal some useful knowledge if we ask nicely enough, again just act like you going to buy one and are curios about how it works.
there address is.... 1137 Burke road, Kew, VIC 3101

I doubt Ozmods will be able to tell you much more than they already have. Besides, it's Sunday now, so save yourself the cost of a call

Its all well and good having dumps of the games, but with the dump of the usb stick i dont think we wont be able to run them.And if they that "it has a special chip" is true, then we will have no other alternative but to buy the USB stick, that is if Sony doesn't get its way and stop production. :thefinger: thats what id give to Sony XD
