• [WIP] JFW-DH 3.55/3.56 CFW ?

    PS3 Custom Firmware (CFW), PS3 Hacks, Uncategorized , 17.09.2011

    So DemonHades and jaicrab along with their group of developers have been working for quite a while on a 3.41 CFW, which implements the Cobra payload, it also allows for playing games directly from the XMB, without the need of a backup manager, this FW was only for PS3 consoles on firmware 3.41, but does this new post from the source, mean it will also work on firmware 3.55 or even firmware 3.56 ???

    Here is a quote of the post in question, translation by PS3HaX member CaptainCPS-X(Thank you).

    Before reading any further, if you’re looking for something related to FW 3.60 or PSN, don’t bother reading

    Hello friends, as we said JFW DH was going to work only on FW 3.41, well now we bring JFW DH 3.56.

    - At this moment, the new JFW DH can only be installed over FW 3.55 or over 3.56 by patching part of the update with a hardware flasher (I recommend teensy, is the cheapest and easier to handle).

    What can be done with JFW DH 3.56…

    - Launch homebrew
    - Loading of backups without managers (multiMAN)

    What can’t be done at this moment…

    - Once on 3.56 you can’t downgrade, due to the new update system that we explained some time ago.
    - The Grid cannot be used (for now).
    - Downgrade is only possible with a flasher, but if you enter factory mode you will not be stuck anymore, you will be able to exit…we have not touched the QA yet, but it could be a way out .

      i think they did it for those who are stuck on 3.56 OF to be able to install this and have backups and homebrew

      Probably because it's easier? I'm assuming 3.60+ has a lot more security on it and from what i've heard you cannot jailbreak 3.60+ with a CFW.

      3.56 is the easiest to hack from what I hear. All Sony did was patch the use of 3.55 keys in 3.56. They didn't add many security features as far as I know.

      I told some months ago that if somebody understands the sprx/prx'es he could do that and muuuch more than that. He could do cheat machines, anaglyph stereoscopic plugin, I could even imagine a chross-game chat that Sony ''cannot implement it because of RAM restrictions''... If PSP and DS can do it then I doubt that PS3 can't, just say with it's name that you are f***ing bored on your headquarters and the last thing that you care is the demand of your costumers. Also the jump to 3.55+ FWs is something that they were doomed to do, next time they say that they have zero plans or something, they should reconsider what they say...

      If I recall 3.56 did not have LV0, it was put on 3.60+, still nice to know 3.55 users will get JFW-DH

      Here you have my Spanish -> English translation (my original lang is spanish):

      JFW DH 341 have a new partner, JFW DH 356 MA

      The only thing that concerns me is the cant downgrade part. Dont really like backing myself into a corner as future items may require some type of downgrade? I dont know, but this sounds cool none the least.

      Yea, but with all the new games coming out what use will a 3.56 custom firmware be. You get my point right.

      Yes, I'll admit its easier to jailbreak 3.56, might as well stick on 3.55 then, if its going to be basically the same thing minus being on a higher firmware that is.

      True say, but this is probably aimed at people stuck on 3.56 who accidently updated.

      There is always, always the option of progskeet and the up coming e3 flasher to downgrade back to 3.55. If that's not your cup of tea then yea this would be the cheaper and easier alternative.

      so based off of the translation am I to understand that its only for 3.41 and 3.56? I for one will stick with 3.41 if they both do all the same things, I'm no stranger to factory service mode downgrades

      Guys, it's 3.56, cause the 3.56 keys are available (don't remember who found em) .... No keys above 3.56 have been found!

      Based on the better translation I can presume this only works if you are using the hardwareflasher, which in itself is already too difficult for most people.. If you are already able to use a hardwareflasher, than the dualboot option released last week is much better I guess..

      Correct me if I'm wrong but don't some games NEED 3.56???? Without patching anyway. Although the "boot from XMB" sounds intriguing. But yet still I support deank and I'll wait to see what he has

      Well, about time, why they made this for 3.41 in the 1st place is ridiculous. I think most of us are on 3.55. Another thing I don't get is that I remember when the 1st set of keys came out a lot of people were saying that the ps3 is owned and we can do whatever we want to it and sony's update won't be able to stop us because we have the master key. Now we can't even get newer games to work. I guess the people that was saying that were completely wrong!

      In my opinion, what every dev does for the scene its not ridiculous, the fact that it may not be useful to "you" doesn't mean its ridiculous. Again, as I have said many times, Developers are not obligated to do anything, they do what they do for free (when possible) and because they have a passion, they are not slaves.

      When fail0verflow said what they said about breaking most of the PS3 security they were right, the only thing Sony has done is complicate things to gain more time. But in my personal view, it is inevitable, newer FW will be cracked at some moment, many have pointed out the fact that to achieve it is not easy and require specific reverse engineering knowledge and hardware tools, and of course time and patience.

      Anyway, if your PS3 can't play newer games without updating your FW, its not because the PS3 Scene, it is because Sony made it that way, they are the responsible for that.

      SeeYa!

      Just thinking about the "no downgrade after installing" part.. Surely if we QA flag before upgrading to it, we can use QA method to downgrade since it works on 3.56 if it's already set from 3.55.

      Yeah they are recommending to use Teensy, but we have to stay tuned for more information since they are not giving specific details on the process, Ive read that they will release JFW DH on October 1st, probably they will release a complete tutorial by that time.

      SeeYa!

      So this includes the cobra payload too? Don't ever remember reading if it was confirmed that jfw-dh would include the ability to enable the software ps2 emulator? And is this likely to include what appeared to be a rom browser that was posted in a video of jfw-dh a little while back?

      Gr8 job developers i know a lot of ppl that got 3.56 that would like to have CFW..
      i think they mean that if u want to install it over 3.56 u need to flash it hardware style and not the 3.55
      lets hope its like that.

      Sounds more like a bad thing then a good thing. o.o; Since it gets you stuck on that firmware unless you know what your doing to be able to downgrade. Being "forced" to spend money on a flasher? lol...

      If it'll implement Cobra's payload does it means will be possible to play PS3 game ISOs which means way faster backup transferrings and less fragmentation as well as it will be possible to play >4GB games from an external disk? Or has it something to do with Cobra's Backup Manager itself aswell?

      If Cobra is implemented 100% then you can expect support of games with files bigger than 4GB, this of course using the method of split ISOs on external FAT32 partitions, nobody has done a NTFS driver that support read & write, just reading.

      So until someone implement the ability of both reading & writing to the current NTFS driver, we will have keep depending on FAT32 and Split files.

      Only expect the previous feature "if" Cobra is completely implemented in JFW DH. The best we can do is wait and see what it will bring when it gets released .
