And the news just keeps getting better! Anonymous developer, No_One, has contacted us with some good news: he has successfully dumped the 3.60 NOR flash. What does this mean? – 3.6X CFW! But hold your horses, because with all good comes the bad – or in this case – the vacation. No_One will be taking a three week vacation and has left the project on stand-by in the mean time.
To quote No_One:
Hi mates,
I’m going to be on vacations for 3 weeks.
I just wanted to tell you that PNM project will be stopped during this period.But, i’ve some great news for you.
I successfully dumped a 3.60 NOR flash using one of the socket !
The second socket has been validated too.
We are not far from our main goal : “jailbreak again the PS3″ !Here are some snapshots :
- host console with a new feature (NOR FLASH details…),
- PNM with a NOR Flash on Socket #1,
- an extract of the 3.60 NOR dump as a proof
Cheers

this is on every major ps3 scene/hacks forums, so expect sony to here abouth this, why tell that before he go's on vacantion, why not after, i really hope sony can't touch this person, but it's in the good direction indeed,
Damn now i may have to choose between a 3.6x cfw or jaicracb cfw, hmmm

People that have been waiting for this ,who want to play 360+ games on there JB ps3.. I am happy for those individuals
For me i am happy with CFW 355 after all ,i would think all the homebrew/emus etc ,will have to be re-ported/configured/compatible for the new CFW if a success.. I would assume will take some time for the devs to do the work.. I am just happy to see the ps3 scene is progressing/not fading in any way. As i believe the scene never died in any way ,as others had said it is dead ! Thanks for the news/hard work etc to all.. This is great news

09:07 PM
I knew this project looked promising! This is excellent news and now I just wish everybody will be patient. Just because this guy is going on a 3 week vacation doesnt mean that after 3 weeks passes everyone will have 3.6x cfw and playing whatever new games on psn. It will still be a while until anything for the end user comes from this. All in all, however, great news! Looking forward to 3.6x signed executables.
07-24-2011

sweeet, i love these devs! Thanx!
07-24-2011

Its good work! But it still looks like a packed dump. which means once unpacked it still would have encrypted files but maybe I'm wrong and he will successfully find a key getting bootldr would be sweet as hell..

I am just being patient for the right CFW for my 3rd ps3.. It is clean & awaiting for a good CFW =i am in no rush for my 3rd ps3 ,but i was to buy it b4 they were nowhere to be found

Cfw 3.60 or a downgrader
what will be the first?
it would be great to have a downgrader but i think it needs more workhours than cfw..
07-24-2011
11:37 PM
The 3.6X keys will not help downgrade your machine - you NEED an exploit. The 3.6X keys WILL, however, enable 3.6X CFW.
07-24-2011
11:47 PM
Ok, next week sony will releases OFW 3.70 with new keys?
Why tell this now and not after your vacation?!
But thanks this is great news if its true

07-25-2011
02:17 AM
This doesn't really excite me the way it was preesented. IN all honesty, we don't need a CFW for 3.60. That would mean all the devs who wrote programs for 3.55 would have to update the code, PS1LIGHT would change codebases, and so on and so forth. THe most xciting aspect of this, wil be the ability to use this dump and the key extractions to allow us to decrypt and sign eboots for lower firmwares, that wy we can play 3.6 games on our already jailbroken 3.55 CFW. nO need to upset the devs by forcing them to recompile and rbuild their impeccable programs.

its like a merrygo round , i see that same stuff over and over and over and over its gets boring now , ppl want cfw 3.66 which could be 1 step closer if this is true but now people are talkin about ofw 3.70. look people give up on cfw and go update and play online thats what u want , cfw and psn dont mix and it wont ever for a long time , look cfw 3.66 comes out wow u got psn then ofw comes out for eg 3,70 look psn gone .people moan it be the same nexttime . back again people want psn or new cfw , get my drift then if the devs keys finds the root keys then thats game over cos cfw be coming out you ears for ofw but theres one problem for you then . there will be a massive psn bans then cos they will be other only way to stop cfw staying ofline . so good bye psn for ever .so save the pain of our ears and update and go play online which is what you want , or buy 2 ps3 like most people here .
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
also if you spent more time learning and less time moaning about the next cfw who knows you could be a dev for the next ps4 , o and also have more vocabulary that able to say a few words like " does this mean cfw " or when is 3.66+ cfw coming "
rome wasnt built it a day you know , but a packet of crips was . so get over it or wait
07-25-2011
02:46 AM
omg ive been waiting for 3.60 cfw for months some people want cfw like me and i dont care about playing online but i guess a cfw will be out in the next 2-3 months omg i cant wait will you be able to play backups and **** like that i mean stuff like that

I think he is doing a gud job but, he should be quiet till he can actually release the final revision/version.... If sony gets wind of this his vacation could be cut short NO such a thing as "Anonymous" on the internet anymore. if you want to stay relativly "anonymous"you should just release out of nowhere. under some alias you never used before on a public computer without the need to identify yourself at the front desk upload"and then use your own comp at home to look at ppl responses feedback.. the way devs brag is just asking for the "sue me. sue me"
07-25-2011
03:30 AM
This sounds great and like most of us I hope it'll bring us 3.60+ CFW soon, but I can't help fearing that this is actually some kind of bad joke/fake. The whole "I'm just teasing you guys before taking a three-week vacation" sounds a bit suspicious to me...
, please can anyone here confirm to noobs like me that this is indeed a major step towards 3.60+ CFW and that these snapshots are solid proof ?? Is this guy/team already known for previous homebrews/hacks ??
I don't know jack about programming/hacking
And by the way, thanks for the news PS3HAX!
07-25-2011
03:32 AM
To me there is only one purpose for the need of 366+/CFW/PSN --> (1)-To play new 360+ games. (2)- CFW users please don't abuse psn.. (3)-Get what is rightfully yours = DLC/Activated.. Since psn access is the only way to get it
(4)- If everyone respected/understood this point of view. Just maybe, there would have been less attention in the past.. This is what i did last time = I signed in just once with my brand new ps3, started my DLC downloads & signed out = 8hrs of downloading.. I was happy to get everything i owned..
If everyone did not sign in to Psn to play on CFW,24/7/cheating/BM. Sony maybe would have not noticed as much. Advertising CFW+PSN everywhere is bad = The whole world finds out from these actions. Many had showed off here-->( youtube = has evil blue collar suits/eyes all over the site Mpaa/Riaa/Sony,etc bad, idea !)
This is what hurts about CFW/No PSN access.. Sony blocks us Legit customers who paid for DLC ,or us willing to buy more. We customers get the shaft ,4 what we believe in thanks Sony = bad business ! I bet we would have still access to this day..
I hope there will be access again in future for us with new ps3s ? It should be used with respect.. Even though most CFW users hate Sony ? Just sign in/activate/Start DLC downloads and sign out.. We might have a shot for longer access next time. For people who had DLC & lost it. Do yourself a favor. If the impossible happens = create the proper backups next time, so you will not be upset

Still need to be unpacked and decrypted to find out if the keys are even there. Others already said that the nor has been dumped months ago and nothing has come from those, and expect the same from this.
Either way, we wont get any more information for at least 2 months. At least I still have my 3.55cfw console and a ofw console :P
07-25-2011
04:42 AM
i am one of the ppl on ofw 3.6. the reason i am banging with the officials is that up until now i didnt have a real season to switch... now, i want any cfw that allows me to to work with that open engine coming out...
Its a matter of time, really, 3.6 CFW is coming.
07-25-2011
04:54 AM
That great news ! I have 2 Ps3 and one have 3.55 kmew and im so happy with tham but second come with 3.61 firmware and cant wait to have both PS3 on cfw and kid have own and i have my own PS3

07-25-2011
05:28 AM
all the keys will the is patching the eboot to make newer games work on older firmware....
also actually from a dev point of view a downgrader is more likely than a cfw because with the firmware decrypted it is a matter of trial and error to develop a working downgrader while cfw is much harder process that requires actual development and much more trial and error.... still a cfw is more likely to come out first as devs wont bother downgrades as much as it testing it can brick ps3, meaning they may end up killing a few ps3s before they make 100% working downgrader... also note cfw, especially early releases can have a chance of bricking the ps3 as well so expect a eboot patcher then after a long while a cfw and downgrader after that
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
also this nor dump is already decrypted to some degree as unlike the one seven months ago which was acquired from the pup this was extracted from ps3 in real time so most of the encryption is gone
07-25-2011
05:39 AM
It doenst matter what firmware is on the device, as long as you have the decryption keys and a way to run the software, you can load the software. So if you get new keys you can add them to cfw 3.55 and then it may be able to play 3.6x games.
As similar to what was going on with the psp, many are on 5.03 but could run 6.xx games with the latest 5.03cfw. though now thanks to the ps3 3.55 keys being found they also found the latest psp keys so now there is the latest 6.37 or whatever cfw for the psp.

well once again 3.66 has been dumped... again... this by itself is nothing, now with the ability PNM with live NOR spying etc, it can be something cool, still i would say do not get your hopes up...
07-25-2011
09:42 AM
It sounds like a certain other person within the scene to me. The one which starts with a letter M perhaps??
All this, "I've done this but i'm going on holiday", if you've dumped it, release the keys already, you know that its a string of letters and numbers? Its got to be pretty obvious where it is and its just a matter of trying it with the eboot fix to see if it works.
Until then its all hear-say IMHO, and who needs a new CFW anyway??
Anyway aren't the 3.60 keys in the 3.60 firmware? The 3.60 firmware update signed with 3.55 keys? So whats the difficulty in decrypting the firmware itself to get them??
07-25-2011
09:43 AM
he didn't say he dumped it... he only dump the firmware, which can be easily done btw.

@Embola.be: They would post this because it is still news, a development of sorts, just because sony knows we are close doesnt mean a damn thing, they still dont know exactly how it was done, and that is the only way they can fix it.
07-25-2011
11:23 AM
ROFL all yous saying that we shouldn't advertise how the exploits of the ps3 are going incase sony read them. Thats like saying dont release exploits as sony will patch them
sony might even be posting here and be part of the dev team lol indutrial espionage. Even if all keys are found they will change something so it will only allow sony listed id with database enclosing the old file system so dont worry. the battle will continue

I'm super excited for this. I know its premature to get too excited this early about the news. Its just I've been waiting a few months now after buying a used PS3 for cheap thinking that it was OFW 5.56 and under needed. So I'm stranded on 5.56 (My own fault I know). I've been part of the Wii and PSP community for a few years and am excited to dive into the PS3. So until CFW 5.56 or up comes out I'll gladly catch up with the scene and learn as much as I can! Anyway sorry for my long winded message about nothing very important and since this my first post I wanted to say hi. Cheers

We have the 3.55 private keys so we can sign anything to 3.55 and below. We do not have the private keys for 3.56+ and never will. From now on everything we sign will be for 3.55.
What we are looking for are the 3.56+ public keys so we can use them to decrypt 3.56+ and then resign it for 3.55 so 3.55 machines can upgrade to 3.56+ CFW.
The only way a 3.56+-already machine will be able to install CFW is if we exploit the update precedure by bypassing key authentication or using hardware mods such as ProgSkeet or Infectus.
07-26-2011
01:55 AM
i do want cfw 3.66+ but i dont need it , i dont need is a i got a 2 aps3 on cfw and ofw but the reason why i want cfw 3.66 is so i can have my slim on cfw and not my fat but like i said im not in a rush for it , i got the best of both world well i only go on psn for 1 game and thats the only game thats goes in my 3.66 ofw ps3
07-26-2011

so if when the 3.66 keys will be released can we update them to this CFW and play 3.66 games?

Sorry if this is off topic. if it is I'll gladly close it but Thanks a lot for the info Annelies. I'm a little discouraged by the news but I still plan on getting my CFW on the damn thing! Lol So if you or anyone could give me their opinion on what method they think the better option would be to eventually get this CFW if it happens while I'm on 5.56; Hope there's an exploit eventually (what are the chances?), PROGSKEET or INFECTUS?
PS. I'm sorry for the question about 5.56 and up. I know a lot of you guys are getting tired of answering them but any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again for explaining my situation sucks more than I thought Annelies. Lol

07-26-2011
01:07 PM
We are in the same situation my friend as I too am on OFW 3.66.
I know nothing about the exploit other than it's being worked on. Nobody knows how it will be executed or what direction it's coming from except the team behind it.
My advice: wait for more news on this exploit to be released before you decide to start soldering. If worst comes to worst, I'm going to have a professional solder ProgSkeet into my machine, but until then I'm waiting for news on this exploit.
07-26-2011
01:10 PM
dustluv even if the exploit comes out after you have fitted your mod or even if the exploit comes out tomorrow, having a hardmod on your ps3 is always a good idea, i would say do it if you can, i wouldn't mind lossing on some games, and install my progskeet.
07-26-2011
01:30 PM
i alsow going to wait a bit before i take action, jaicrab cfw is right around the corner:
, all it needs is a little bit of fresh stuf/mods etc... or some weed 
this is great news for fat bc pal ps3"s gamers like me,
and KaKaRoTo's and Mathieulh + an anonymous person found each a exploit for the new cfw, offcoarse Mathieulh is NOT going to release IT, don't know anything abouth the anonymous person. sorry
But KaKaRoTo say's he wiil make the exploit available if there is something cool or important sony added to a new "fw 3.7x or even later fw's", just like the psp scene, why release it know when you know sony is going to patch it with the next fw, so better use the exploit when its best used at the right moment, and we can alsow whait for some devs to get there hands on ProgSkeet, the scene is not dead, it's more like sleeping, like in mine case stoned

It's getting harder and harder to find PS3's that are not updated to 3.6x these days. I'm stuck at 3.66 myself so a 3.6x cfw would definitely be welcome.

09:09 AM
people still dont get it , people on 3.56 and above will have to downgrade to 3.55 because the next 3.66 cfw will be for 3.55 and below only as this these are the only ps3 that will be able to install it and the people on 3.56 and above will not beable to install it , simple as

If the keys come out Sony will be the first to be knocking on this guys door and the evil grab cycle will begin again

Besides, we can only get the 3.6+ public keys and that´s why only those on 3.55 will be able to install the new 3.6+ CFW.
It would also be best to patch the eboots with the new found public keys, because otherwise we will be stuck in 3.6+ CFW forever
and we wouldn´t want that.

Not to mention they have found it necessary to release 10 versions of SF4 (exaggeration) and are planning to do the same with MvC3..

I dislike capcom because I'm a tekken person. but back on topic.... I really will have to have 3.55 FW to use this?

most likely unless some other exploit is found.

Putting aside the fact all we know that downgrade it's via hardware mod (until now).
And please don't quote on the 3.6x keys, it's obvious.
Im not being negative on this case, but im trying by myself other things...and im not seeing good result so far. (yet)
Maybe the perfect phrase for this is what Einstein said : “Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.”
Meaning that searching more exploits on this *problem* will be useless for the moment, It's just my point of view

They did this to combat GameStop's used game policy because nobody is going to buy a game used that they can't even start over. Capcom doesn't like the fact that GameStop sees +100% (even up to 300%) profit from used game sales so Capcom wants you to buy your games brand spankin' new. Capcom is is losing money and knows as a business it can't survive off of re-releases of SF4/MvC3.
They're trying to milk every last penny out of you to stay in the industry at this point. That is why I don't respect them.

when the rootkey is found and we be able to to make cfw3.56 and upwards . but you will need a ps3 on cfw already to beable to key your own key beacuse the keys is per ps3 every ps3 has got a diffent rootkey , a ps3 on 3.56 and above will not be able to get there rootkey as u need to be on cfw to get it , we will not be getting a 3.66 private key so we can sign it back but we will beable to find the public key so we can unencypte a 3.66 ofw but then sign it with 3.55 keys that way only people on 3,55 fw will be able to use this 3.66cfw because the 3.55 keys is not blocked on there console unlike a 3.56 and above the 3.55 keys are block so it will not install on there ps3

An exploit is currently in development for 3.56+ machines. Originally being worked on by Gitbrew, the exploit has been passed on to a team of anonymous developers to work on.
We do not know how the exploit will be executed or what is required for it's execution. All we know of is its existence.
PS3HaX will keep you updated as more news becomes available on the exploit.

22:04:23] < @KaKaRoTo> and now i’m working on something new and revolutionizing that will also take some months of work
[22:04:29] < @KaKaRoTo> (hopefully
[22:08:19] < @KaKaRoTo> anyways, the theory says that it will jailbreak all future versions, but it needs probably 2 or more months of work to get it to actually be tested..
[22:08:24] < @KaKaRoTo> then need to test and see if it works
[22:10:11] < @KaKaRoTo> but like I said, I’m not interested in 3.60
[22:10:25] < @KaKaRoTo> I probably won’t release this until 3.7 or something
[22:10:34] < @KaKaRoTo> until I see an actual reason to jailbreak the new version…
[22:11:03] < @KaKaRoTo> for now, there’s no new feature between 3.55 and 3.60 that would justify it

some games now like gta 4 are forcing you to connect to psn before you can do missions and if you connect you must install the latest fw. i think if this happens on all games we will have problems and cfw will be no more, i mean how long would you wait for a new cfw before you could play games? whether you want to go online or not you will not have no choice. sad to say but i think this is all coming to an end.
08-04-2011

08-04-2011
05:30 PM
you can not do missions which makes the game pointless. but if they implement this on other games which i think is the idea then we will be screwed as not only will the ps3 need hacking but the games will also need hacking to. i yhink cfw is finished. the only way forward is a hardware solution. just my opinion.
08-04-2011
06:20 PM
it's not all about ps3 games there is more to having a jailbroken ps3 than just oh can i play the newest games. you want those you should be on OFW
08-04-2011
08:37 PM
It's the plataform = PS3 in this case that matters and how far you can go with it, doing stuff not only for the hype of the games.
:P
If you wanna play and use almost 40% of the power of the console, it's ok. If you gonna go further and investigate the choice it's upon the owner of the product.

umm has anyone tryed to write a "game" (rootkit finder and remover hidden within an executable file) so the ps3 plays and BAM exe finds rootkit. the problems the blu ray encoding and what triggers it.... what about it hidden on a ps1 game? wow this idea is getting dumb lol

the fix for your brick is a hardware flasher and fixing should just involve flashing the core os
08-09-2011
03:54 PM
also people who are on 3.66 ofw will not be able you use the keys as u need to be on cfw 3.55 .the keys that signs firmware will not be found or worked out . only keys that will make a cfw 3.66 for 3.55 cfw will be found as we will use to 3.55 keys to sign the 3.66 cfw .
08-09-2011
04:00 PM
it really does not matter which firmware will i have, ofw or cfw, the most important thing for me is to unbrick my console. and yes the error is noticed after a finished flashing
if there is a way or will be, it would be great.

also what do u meen a error is noticed after flashing?

hey, maybe we'll get lucky and some MIT grad student will get nosy/bored with a $20,000 piece of scanning hardware and find an unbreakable exploit like we did with the Xbox
all kidding aside, though. im happy for now. my used copy* of Portal 2 can wait a few more months or w/e.
Also, I want to say thank you to all the developers on this site and others who make software/hardware/tools for the ps3. I know it's more or less thankless work, and I wanted to let you know that I'm one leech who is thankful to the host organisms for the tasty, tasty blood that you feed me.
*in this case, the term 'copy' refers to an original copy purchased used, by my fiance, from a Gamestop two towns over, then given to me as a way early b-day present, lol.
08-10-2011
10:21 AM
Well would an exploit allow 3.6+ users downgrade.. How do you know if you found a true usable exploit...??
08-10-2011
10:25 AM
Err............ Because it would work and be usable?
08-10-2011
11:20 AM
also, keep in mind im simplifying, because i cant remember all the details, lol (someone correct me if they remember/know, please)
when ms made the original xbox, they put what basically amounted to a hidden firmware in the northbridge or in the path to/from the northbridge(cant remember) that was used to verify whether games were copies or originals, thinking that the only way to find it would be with this 20 large or better scanning machine ( i wanna say it was an electron microscope, but that doesnt sound right =/ ) that no end user or whatnot would ever POSSIBLY have access to, simply because of it's pricetag.
along comes this MIT grad student (whose name i forgot) who happens to have access to one of these machines at night while he's monitoring other people's research projects. he gets bored and starts to poke around in the guts of an xbox with this machine and starts to type up his results. he then posts them on the web and within a few months, there was an unbreakable exploit for the xbox1.
but im not gonna hold my breath, either

Great news. But now all the PSN junkies will update and then will exspect 3.70 CFW. im on 3.66 OFW and hoping this will sucessfully create a CFW for 3.66. Just going to have all the PSN addicts updating.
I wouldent update!
08-10-2011
05:58 PM
there will be no CFW for above 3.56 you will have to hope for a exploit of some other sort. Sony fixed it so we can'r make CFW for PS3s on 3.56+. yes we may be able to make a CFW 3.56+ but it will only install for those on 3.55 or lower, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

If they keep asking ,they either want to get on psn to do modded lobbys ,or get the dlc from ps store ,or play the new games = I believe most are kids & they just want to do modded lobbys = They have low activity on PS3HaX & few posts & crappy personality's & to get on psn to cheat ! I am not saying everyone ! Most that cant get this through there head & seem very immature are the one that most likely want to cheat online !! once or if a new CFW was released you will never see them here again ! Untill it gets patched = no psn access again = Come here again crying about a new cfw! Only thing a NEW CFW is good for is 2 play new games + To get on psn store only !! no online gaming ! Since we know how that went ?
Me i would like psn just for dlc. As you can see i am not freaking out about a new CFW. I HAVE NOT ONE POST OF ME ASKING, IS THERE IS GOING TO BE A NEW CFW IN 6+ MONTHS !! Most should have a second ps3,if the want CFW or just update ! Or have CFW & stay offline happy like my self ! = Patient !
If you are upset about me commenting here like this ,i understand if you have no money to buy a ps3 on lower firmware =Most people lie & say this so the can download games or want to get on PSN to cheat = Just look on YoTube & this will show you how many kids showed off cheating! When there was psn access = They ruined psn access for the PS store 4 all of us ! They created so much attention of cheating online it became known to the whole world !
I blame the youtube users for 75% of no psn access on CFW !

Okay, speaking as an armchair programmer here(and one with little programming understanding, especially of the ps3's hard/firmware). please forgive me
i mean, i knew the CHARACTER was a moron, but i would have thought the actor/people who sent the actual tweet/text/whatever would have been smarter than that ¬_¬#
Based upon what we know of Sony's programming model for ps3 firmware, IF we can find the 3.6 public keys, and IF we could create software capable of running from a 3.6 firmware of some sort that the ps3 thinks is a game, how much access would it have to the lower levels of GAMEOS/hardware?
would it have access to the private keys in some way or to anything else useful for devs? i dont ask this about piracy, im merely curious. and before anyone says "WHAT ARE YOU, EFFING, STUPID, OF COURSE NOT, SONY ISN'T STUPID ENOUGH TO LEAVE SUCH GLARING HOLES IN THEIR CODE!!! DUUHH, STUPID N0000000000BBBBB!!!", we really cant assume anything until it's been tried. and besides, i never would have guessed it would have been so easy to social engineer the kind of information out of that tool kevin butler that someone apparently did

The best you could do is split it for parts and put the money towards a new machine..
The reason is simple, you've corrupted the NAND and don't have a copy of what was there before.. Normally we replace a small part of it (CoreOS a.k.a ros0) and re-write the rest of our original dumps, but you can't do that anymore.
I always do a hex comparison on my dumps (and I always dump at least twice, if not 3 times) to make sure I have a 1:1 copy of how everything was, so worst case you'd just write back what was there and it will still work (although if your dumps matched and they were wrong, you'd be in the same boat you are now).
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

On a normal PS3 and a legit (real game), we would intercept the data flow from beginning to end of the security check (the one that checks if its a real disc). Of course it will pass as there is a real disc in the tray. Now that we have that info we make a mod-chip that has like 8GB or something of flash on it to store all the different kinds of checks that were obtained from reading the real games. When we put in a disc the mod-chip is the first to read the disc and determine if its a legit disc or if its a backup. If its a legit disc then the mod-chip goes into sleep mode, if its a backup then the mod-chip first sends the security checks that is on the flash to the bluray drive then the mod-chip seamlessly reads the contents of the disc and sends them over the the bluray drive right after the security check procedure. The bluray in turn will be tricked in thinking there is a legit disc and play as normal. This method can also be better for preventing Piracy as people can only capture the security checks on the legit discs they have.
PS: As I've said this is only an Idea, I will go as far as to say this might not even work.
