This morning KaKaRoTo announced on his twitter that he has jailbroken OFW 3.73. There is not much information available yet about this jailbreak but he already stated that this is no CFW and doesn’t allow backup managers to run. But it should allow you to run your favorite homebrew and still play the latest games. For people who are not aware who KaKaRoTo is, he is the person that released the first CFW ever for Playstation 3 and always released his methods and software.
And it looks like everyone is in luck because KaKaRoTo is planning to release his work and method (as always). But we all have to wait for a while because according to KaKaRoTo it won’t be out in the next two weeks and there is still some work left to do.
[07:28:39] <KaKaRoTo> heri, docpaul showtime would work fine
[07:28:58] <sandungas> kakaroTo, this means new tcl patches for mfw and some changes to manage 3.73 ?
[07:29:17] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, and no I didn’t fix the npdrm algo, that’s what I’m missing (hence the “kind of”) but I’m not
working on that, that’s someone else’s job
[07:30:05] <middleman> gonna debut it at ccc kakaroto or before?
[07:30:06] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, and even if npdrm signing worked.. how do you install your pkg on an OFW 3.73 ? :p
[07:30:22] <heri> so KaKaRoTo, once the NPDRM algo is fixed, a release will come?
[07:31:14] <KaKaRoTo> heri, another missing bit, but once that’s fixed, yes
[07:31:23] <KaKaRoTo> but I’ll probably be off country for the next 2 weeks
[07:31:30] <KaKaRoTo> so all work will have to be paused :p
[07:31:52] <heri> oh, fair enough. we can all wait 2 weeks heywe have waited months anyways
[07:32:06] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, that might work.. you could also just install your pkg on 3.55 then upgrade…
[07:32:20] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, upgrading doesn’t delete any of your packages :p
[07:32:37] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, issue is, you’re lost if you didn’t do it before upgrading
[07:32:53] <ddoo> but they fail because the npdrm algo is spoted by the checks in 3.56+
[07:33:13] <KaKaRoTo> heri, also note, I “announced” it because I was excited to see it work as expected
[07:33:22] <KaKaRoTo> doesn’t mean it’s ready for release
[07:33:31] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, exactly
[07:33:36] <heri> yeh thats what we were saying just before you came
[07:33:43] <KaKaRoTo> so you need : 1 – npdrm algo fixed, 2 – a way to install stuff
[07:33:53] <heri> you only announce when you are confident it works
[07:33:58] <KaKaRoTo> 1 has been done by someone else (don’t know if he’ll share it), and 2.. well, I just did it :p
[07:34:37] <KaKaRoTo> heri, well, I was testing on 3.60 and it worked, but yes, I did upgrade to 3.73 to test that it still
works just to make sure I don’t tweet any false hopes
[07:34:46] <middleman> but you cant run what you installed until 1 is fixed correct?
[07:34:59] <KaKaRoTo> middleman, exactly
[07:36:17] <middleman> interesting
[07:36:19] <docpaul> nice, thx KaKaRoTo
[07:36:40] * KaKaRoTo needs to hide now if he wants to get any work done
[07:36:42] <KaKaRoTo> ttyl
UPDATE 1:
It seems as tho developer kakaroto has been flooded with questions regarding his 3.73 jailbreak that he announced late last night. here is a copy and paste from his blog.
Hi all,
I’ve been flooded with questions on twitter and I’ve read many posts on news sites and I’ve seen some stuff being said on IRC and I thought I needed to clarify a few things…
First of all, I didn’t expect to see my tweet front paged on all ps3 hacking news sites.. although I should have expected it.. but anyways, the “jailbreak” is not ready to be used, at all. I only tweeted that because I was excited having it working and I wanted to share my excitement with everyone. But this is a bit equivalent to the day I released that create_cfw.sh script that created the very first CFW/MFW but it still took a couple of months before a real, easy, multiplatform and fully fledged solution was released : PS3MFW.
We are currently at the same state, I have the proof of concept, it works, but a solution that anyone can use where they just click a button and their PS3 gets jailbroken is still far from ready.
I’ve seen people say (and even write it in their front page news) that I’ll release it in two weeks after I come back from vacation. That is not true and I never said that. What I said was that for the next 2 weeks, the project is on hold until I get back.. but when I get back, then I will continue working on it, and it will then take some more time before it’s ready and released.
Some asked if it’s based on what gitbrew was doing/suggesting or if I used someone else’s exploit or work. No, this solution is my own idea and 100% my own implementation. However, the actual solution for the full jailbreak involves some components on which I will not work, and I expect/hope that someone else will provide the solution for that.
Some speculated it might be what I spoke about back in March which I later said I wasn’t pursuing by lack of motivation.. and yes, you are right. The same hack I had in March is still valid today, I told a few people about it (rms, Mathieulh, an0nym0us, and a couple more), but no one was interested in pursuing it further and actually exploiting that flaw (mainly because it requires a huge amount of work to get a proof of concept working). 10 days ago (I started on the 11th), I got bored and decided to start poking at it again, and yesterday (a lot faster than I thought it would take), I got my first pkg installed on 3.73 firmware.
On twitter, I said “do not update if you are on 3.55″, I said that in response to someone who said he would update. Because of that, people speculated that you need to be on 3.55 first, and then install something before doing the upgrade. No, that’s not it, that would be useless. The purpose of my solution is to jailbreak a ps3 that is already on 3.73 firmware and which had never been jailbroken before. I told people not to update because, first of all, it’s not yet ready, and second of all, the 3.55 firmware gives you a lot more possibilities than what can be achieved on 3.73.
So what is this jailbreak? I won’t say because I don’t want Sony to block it in a firmware update (and yes, they potentially could) before it’s even released (and yes, I will release it when it’s ready). But I will explain this to you : in order to run your homebrew apps, you need two things. First, to be able to install them on the ps3, and second to be able to run it once installed. I did only one of these two things.
Some may say it’s not a real jailbreak, but the way I see it, there are three ‘jails’ on the ps3, I broke the first one which prevents you from installing anything, so now you can install your .pkg, great, but it won’t run, that’s the second jail. The third jail is being able to modify the firmware (peek&poke).
The second jail (running apps) is something that can be done, but it’s not my area of expertise (npdrm algo), so I will not be working on that. I am waiting for someone else to achieve it (some have succeeded but do not wish to release it, at least not for now) then I will release.
The third jail (modifying the firmware) is not possible with my method, this means that you will not have a “CFW”, you will run your homebrew applications and games on an official firmware. This also means that without peek&poke support, none of the backup managers will work. So, again, my solution is piracy-free, and as always, I do not plan on working on a way to enable piracy (or even legal backups).
Overall, the purpose will be to allow people who are on 3.73 firmware to enjoy the homebrew games that were released, to play a bit with Eskiss, and to use Showtime for playing their movies. This should be more than enough for everyone.
Finally, I will conclude by replying to another question I received : Do you accept donations? The answer is yes. I do accept donations but I do not seek them out. I will include a donate button to the bottom of this post, so if anyone wishes to donate, they can do so, however, I want to make it clear that whether or not you donate does not and will not affect in any way, the release, or the progress of the work I’m doing. If you donate, you would do it as a sign of appreciation of my efforts, and not in exchange of any favors or anything crazy like that.
That’s about it I think… If you have any more questions, please refrain from asking them, I get enough as it is already.. I also said everything I needed to say and I don’t want to give any more information than that (for now).
KaKaRoTo
UPDATE 2:
A small F.A.Q created by euss.
Q&A
Q: Will I need special hardware?
A: No.
Q: Will homebrew work?
A: With NPDRM fixed, yes. Showtime would certainly be possible.
Q: Will recent games play correct
A: Yes, its 3.7x, sure it plays all 1.00 – 3.7x games.
Q: Does it have Peek& Poke?
A: No.
Q: Do Backup manangers work?
A: No, see previous answer.
Q: Does it gets us keys
A: No.
Q: Does it gets us “CFW”/MFW?
A: No.
Q: Will it allow downgrade?
A: No.
Q: So why are all the newssites hyping this that it does?
A: Because they don’t read wiki’s/blog’s xD Besides, every minor news gets ‘prolly CFW soon!’ tagged by the bad ones.
Q: Is there a release date?
A: No, besides KaKaRoTo not able to work on it for 2 weeks, it also relies on (other people?) fixing NPDRM.

Hopefully that will clear a lot of misunderstandings by people.

Wait wait wait, I'm puzzled.
I'm really happy aswell but, if it's not a CFW and it's not a (direct) Jailbreak what is it?(brain fart)
A moded Debug firmware?
Also what would be the purpose of it if you can't use it as a CFW?

Is there any real prof? why is this just news because someone Twitted a claim that they can do it. Its also stupid for someone to use twitter because Sony will just request the user information from twitter. I will believe it when I see hard prof and I know that it will only be from a "anon" drop box.

I'm really happy for him to have jailbroken the current firmware and even if we are unable to run backups (i hope it does
Great Job!

04:39 AM
Kakaroto is a serious and respected guy so trust him! also don't ask about playing new games or CFW yet, his work is only intended to run homebrew.. the rest might be someone else's work. sadly we'll have to wait for a few weeks since he's going to Chile as a speaker for an Opensource conference.
11-21-2011
04:39 AM
Yes.
Finally.
KaKaRoTo is the real deal, we can trust him.
Not to mention the fact that it will probably "easy to upgrade" once we can run homebrew on it

2nd line on the newspost
There is not much information available yet about this jailbreak but he already stated that this is no CFW and doesnt allow backup managers to run.
11-21-2011

He talked about this around the time 3.56 dropped. If i remember correctly through irc chitchat he gave up on it. Look like he got back on track :D
11-21-2011
05:08 AM
Also if this is fully software based its completely implementable (I think ) into a CFW, to make things nice and simple....unless its already simple.

$ony lawyers must be hunting him down while we speak.
Like this "it's cfw, but not" approach, as we all know first we get normal legal homebrew, then we get the illegal homebrew ie pirating.
Though you have to realise that in many countries it's still legal to make your own backups, even though it isnt in others. Is it legal in the USA? idk, it isnt in the UK.
tbh he should have released this info anonymously especially after we've seen just what lengths sony will go to to sue you - how many times did they raid graf's house now? Graf gone quiet as well, no idea whats happened to him lately.
Just shows you that, nice devs get the respect they deserve from the scene, unlike a certain other dev

the ony thing am liking more than the possibility of hbs on 3.73 is how I imagine math is feeling.

Since it's Software-based, and the hack might become useless after Sony releases a new FW, maybe KaKaRoTo is going for that "Trojan-Theory" that was mentioned in that irc-chat where he talked about his "pseudo-CFW" to get that "magic-master-key" everyone's talking about?

06:36 AM
And that solves what exactly? Putting devs down for protecting themselves and their interests, does nothing for the scene... Mathieulh has done plenty for the scene, he tends to help those that want to help themselves more though (and rightly too, why should he just give away all his own work, for a scene that does nothing but cry for more ways to pirate games and play them on the PSN?).
As for Kakaroto's news, will people please stop speculating at what it is, and see things for they're face value... (and that's he's working on something that allows homebrew (but not backup managers), and that its software based..) we know he shares his work publicly (when its ready), so the wait wont be too long... other than that there's nothing else to say other than we'll just have to wait and see.

So Hold on sec guys! I know this is all great and ofcourse thanks Kakaroto for willing to share your new jailbreak once it's done. But one question. If it's not a CFW, then how else is it possible to Modifie the FW within the Ps3 that is 100% software based. I mean installing CFW ir MFW was the only input to Modifie a ps3 into jailbreaking apart from the USB jailbreak where you have to go to service mode and stuff which apparently isn't the case at the moment since it's 100% software based. I'm indeed really looking forward into it to see how kakaroto would be surprising us this christmas!!

Does anyone think Rebug will take KaKaRoTo's work and figure out the rest (i.e. CFW)?
11-21-2011
06:50 AM
I am also write cfw 3.73 come before new year
11-21-2011
06:56 AM
Well since he is a open source guy all the info will be there so i hope Rebug will implement it.

Can honestly say I had the original CFW/MFW he created. Hell if it wasn't for egohot his FW and signing tools would have seen a far larger audience. He is a man if his principles and words. Respect.

he state that no backup manager or cfw..
yet its an exploit for runing HOMEBREW you know multiman is a HOMEBREW APP, hopefully once kakarotos stuff is released we will almost there for a rogero or multiman with the new stuff
THE LAST THING A MAN LOOSE IS HOPE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just making sure people will read it (which will probably not happen)
11-21-2011
07:19 AM
If homebrew can be made to run, then I can't see a reason why games can't be made to run from xmb by editing the eboot paths as they used to before peek/poke was enabled in the later firmwares
Just because lv2 patchers don't work doesn't mean there are no other options but if people want it for backups mainly, updating wouldn't be wise unless you have a flasher.
11-21-2011
07:20 AM
Backup managers will run because they're normal homebrew pkg's, but games won't start without a payload. He'll leave the door open for somebody else to do that.

works just to make sure I dont tweet any false hopes
I think things still look promising as he says he would'nt like to be raising any false hopes, only time will tell (hopefully in a couple of weeks)

... wow, this is something I really wasnt expecting and definitely wasnt expecting this early/soon. Congrats Kakaroto and good job! Hopefully we can start learning how this was done fairly quickly and somehow avoid sony patching the method... None the less, I'm beyond happy. Congrats everyone you've almost got what you've all been begging for.

11-21-2011
07:27 AM
Remember that geohot's cfw was set so that it would not allow piracy, and yet it was made to do so by someone else i believe.
So first of all, just because kakaroto's software may not allow piracy, someone else may be able to mod it.
Second, even though geohot's firmware did not allow anything illegal, we saw just how badly sony wanted to stop him. sony may find a way to get to kakaroto even if he is in canada.
and third, he's off on holiday for the next 2 weeks so dont expect anything soon.
11-21-2011
07:27 AM
[MENTION=114607]deank[/MENTION] If this -does- lead to a cfw that allows backup managers, i'd love to let you borrow (and if you break it, oh well, i'll get a new one) my 60gb CECHA PS3 if it'd help you figure out how to get PS2 working. D:
-edit I'd pay for shipping, both there (and if it survives) back.

Just want to see if the will still support the true blue thing after the release of thise frimeware
11-21-2011
07:41 AM
Great work and very smart. The biggest mistake I think Graf made was always publicly announcing his work so Sony never had to guess what he was doing. I think if he would have kept it on the hush he would have been able to finish his work and release it. If backup capability is possible it doen't need to be published on the world wide web and raise $ony's ire before it's done. Backups are not illegal in America. They're only unauthorized. I'm sure this will bring what everybody wants. Just be patient and thankful this happened.
11-21-2011
07:48 AM
Thank u very much KaKaRoTo!!
but still i'm not hopeing too much,since he said it will not be CFW and no backup managers..
what would it be when he release it? :D
11-21-2011
07:48 AM
for what say all people thinks?he doesn't make nothing yet hmmm
11-21-2011
07:49 AM
woohoo thats awesome he was first to create cfw for 3.55/3.41 after geohot right
11-21-2011
07:49 AM
YESS I love this guy!
11-21-2011
07:50 AM
Question: Since this is 3.73 jailbreak, will it allow us to finally jailbreak on that firmware without being on 3.55 first then upgrading? If so, what will we be able to do if we jailbroke on our 3.72 OFW?
11-21-2011
07:54 AM
i thought DUPLEX had cracked NPDRM? hence the psn games.
11-21-2011
07:58 AM
What GEOHOT released was also "NOT A CFW" ... It was a jailbreak. CFW and backup managers came afterwards. This is probably what is going to happen with the 3.73 jailbreak,too.
Also,would you recommend buying a 3.7x un-hackable console at this point?
11-21-2011
08:10 AM
We will need to stay on 3.55? or we can jailbreak 3.73
11-21-2011
08:13 AM
as i got it its jailbreaked but u can't play downloaded games on it, only homebrew and showtime, am i right?
11-21-2011

11-21-2011

I can just picture many noobs asking "Is is a 3.73 CFW?"
11-21-2011
08:30 AM
11-21-2011
08:34 AM
Ah finally. Someone who is true to the scene no matter what and releases his findings to the world instead of pussy footing around.
Well done KaKaRoTo keep up the good work and YOU are the one who we will be thinking of when we are eventually sporting cfw 3.73 not other people
11-21-2011
08:35 AM
Ssooo? If I got it right... it wont be CFW but it will be a JB version of OFW but it will be able to run new games? Or what the hell? :D
11-21-2011
08:38 AM
it will be able to play bought games i think..
11-21-2011
08:39 AM

08:42 AM
Here's to hoping wutangrza and/or kmeaw patch lv2 for 3.73...
11-21-2011
08:42 AM
11-21-2011
08:43 AM
OK, so:
1) Right now, if KaKaRoTo releases his "No CFW Thing", it will not work if you're not on 3.55, I mean, It will work, but if you haven't installed what you want before updating you're screwed because of the NPDRM.
2) When he managed to fix the NPDRM issue, it will be possible to install the "No CFW Thing", on 3.73.
3) This was achieved trough an exploit, so, when Sony releases 3.74, we are back where we start. I mean, you don't have the root keys KaKy, do you ?
4) Thanks KaKaRoTo, for this, for your first CFW, and for releasing your work so all the general public can enjoy homebrew on their PS3's
11-21-2011
08:43 AM
It suport homebrew yet
the cost of cfw 3.73 dongle is 80 $
11-21-2011
08:47 AM
This is why I keep hoping somebody finds the lv0, if I'm not mistaken this would mean no matter what Sony release once we have the lv0 we have total control of our console and what content is to work with it from homebrew (with whatever OFW) to games (with whatever OFW).
Or am I missing something simple?
11-21-2011
08:47 AM
11-21-2011
08:49 AM
i am begining to think this is like JFW DH 3.56 MA where only people that are on 3.55 can install and not a cfw as described
11-21-2011
08:50 AM
The running of backups the way we do now will require a cfw in order top open it up (peek poke)
This exploit will not be able to do that so no cfw=no bdemu etc
Homebrew cannot enable peek/poke without the firmware being modified first
11-21-2011
08:50 AM
11-21-2011
08:53 AM
Direct jailbreak from OFW 3.73 is too much of a miracle.
11-21-2011
08:54 AM
11-21-2011
08:54 AM
ok ppl just thought i tell you as he said its not a cfw he can use hombrew eg pkg files 3 . on 3.73 . well the things is people on 3.73 wont be able to install the pkg file on ps3 unless you have got a ps3 on 3.55 and 3.73 ableto data transver the pkg file over to 3.73 console becuse as u know 3.73 dont have installed pages , but like people say u just have to wait and see how it all goes about
11-21-2011
08:59 AM
I hope he can save us from the evil of True Blue.
just a noob question, what happens when glorious quasi-CFW 3.73 comes out and Sony updates to 3.74+? will we be back to the same thing as now?
11-21-2011
09:11 AM
After this news sony ready for relising 3.80
11-21-2011
09:12 AM
bravo KaKaRoTo !
11-21-2011
09:15 AM
so we should be able to install psn games using the reactpsn method and it should still work with his firmware right? that's something to think about.

11-21-2011
09:19 AM
As usual a million questions and only one real answer..... and that is just WAIT & SEE! There is no point in everyone talking about back up managers an playing pirated games yet when it clearly states that this isn't about that, its about getting Homebrew to work on 3.73.
Congratulations KaKaRoTo you are doing what you said you would all that time ago & you deserve credit for being true to your word.
To all the people that mention CFW just read the article instead of just the title! It clearly states that this won't enable you to pirate your games, if that is to happen then someone else will have to look into that. Oh and KaKaRoTo has stated in the past that there will be NO CFW past 3.55, how I see it is this a different way that enables the OFW to allow Homebrew pkg's to work.
11-21-2011

GaryOPA seems frustrated for obvious reasons.
11-21-2011

guys i will explain it its a file to install it on 3.55 okay so when u update to 3.73 after installing this file u apphome and install package files will be exist even after updating to 3.73
11-21-2011

I really hope that all 3.55 consoles blow up to incentivate people to do something for people who haven't a old console.

Nothing more will be made for newer consoles? Mine is 3.66, CECH 3011A, i must sell or exchange this s**t. I've brhought that s**t last saturday, and now i just found that i can't play more games without fill sony's pockets?

So this is basically useless for those who has PS3 Slim? Or atleast thats what I understood from reading some answers.
PS3 Scene R.I.P. 
I guess PS3 scene died after 3.56 OFW so unless someone will make a CFW of 3.73 OFW for ALL consoles I would say that.....
11-21-2011

From kakarotos tweets, did he said that if you have installed pkgs when on 3.55 and then you upgraded but kept all of that stuff. So, with his exploit/firmware/cfw one can use those previous installations ?
No flaming.
11-21-2011
10:10 AM
KaKaRoTo states that it works on 3.73, he said it worked on 3.60 and that he updated to 3.73 and it still works.
He is suggesting you don't update to 3.73 and stay on 3.55, not because this method is useless, but because there is no time-scale on when the release date is, also you may not like this method.

Jeez, I never thought I'd hear GaryOPA say "no backups = pointless".. I thought he gave a great representation of what a scene should be, but nowadays it's got to where he promotes buying dongles and dismisses running homebrew as important.
All I want is Showtime with Facanferff's add-ons, maybe a file manager to get my 3.55 GT5 save working on my 3.73, that's more than enough for me.
Also, Garyopa says how this is useless to those already on 3.73, surely not if Kak's tweet saying he updated, then jailbroke is true (and he's not known to lie). Never mind that if 3.74's so close, it'll be released before Kak's finished.
Thanks Youness!!

What the hell is wrong with some people here? we wont be able to play 3.73 games....no cfw...

seriously there are too many whiney pirates on this site these days!
it used to be about the hacking, now its about boohoo this will stop backups working boohoo!
hack the machine to allow you to run unsigned code, not to rip money off from the devs!
the fact that 3.73 is jailbroken is amazing news as it means those who have updated can get back in the fight to figure out the machines internal workings and run homebrew!
if all you want to do is pirate games then i seriously hope your console gets bricked at some point as YOU ARE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SCENE!

no this wont work on anything over cfw 3.55
11-21-2011
11:00 AM
so I started a while ago on 3.550ofw I then used geohots jailbreak to instal .pkg's,
a little while later came wutang cfw which i installed with the geohack over the top.
and a little while later we could play games.. due to peek n poke I think.
so maybe it will go the same as before
11-21-2011

if we can install a FTP manager and multiMAN, we can install .pkg files via Game Eboots.
Then just mount the Game, and Install the PKG from XMB
for example AC Revelations, there is an PKGDIR, just Replace the orginal PKG with Signed Homebrew PKG, should work fine...
im going to test it now, on Kmeaw..3.55 <3
11-21-2011

This will probably work on 3.74fw also cause "Debug 3.74 already exist"(Darkvolt)

It's just 3.55.x.
100% useless for people who don't have a new console. PS3 scene could no be dead yet, but it's absolutely stuck on 3.55, and this number deserve to be on PS3 scene's grave. In many countries there's no old PS3 in shops, and still nothing is made for new PS3's. "Old PS3 club" is a more apropriate name for PS3 scene right now.
11-21-2011
11:19 AM
multiMAN is Signed with 3.55 Keys, and a PS3 with FW 3.73 actually can Start them, no Problem.
We just need to install multiMAN and other Homebrews if we are on 3.55 and THEN update to KaKaRoToKS FW.

11-21-2011
11:25 AM
Wait, what is needed more than peek & poke and syscalls to use backup loaders?
It doesn't sound like you are unable to use them because of a system security measure, it's just that he doesn't want to implement it right?
Also, wouldn't you be able to install an app manually via multiMan?
Like using Resident Evil HD Collection disk that includes 2 pkgs and when you select the disc it gives you 2 icons of each game to install, just like those rare PS3 multi-demo discs...
11-21-2011
11:25 AM
seriously... you guys are reading it completely differently to me... he states he can JB 3.73 but not sign the packages due to the npdrm algo, this has already been done by someone else though so in essence we can jb an ofw 3.73 but just not create installable packages (we can have the option to install though due to the jb).
how the hell you guys think this is 3.55 rehashed is beyond me, the reason he said stay at 3.55 is simply because he cannot sign packages (himself) for above it at the moment, not that he can't jb/get the option to install packages!

P.s multiMAN cant install .pkg apps.
11-21-2011

upgrading doesn't delete any of your packages
Sooooo, you neeed to be in 3.55 to install PKG exploit, than upgrade to 3.73

I am totally sick and tired of this news. How many of this news will he have before we get everything to make fixes or a new CFW?
I'll come when the title says something like: "New 3.73 CFW Released!" or "Keys to decrypt/sign Eboots released!", something which may happen in a year.

he probably only found a way of signing pkg's(and eboots) to look like retail, and install them using a proxy server or something. but still its cool
11-21-2011
11:42 AM
He says that because JB 3.73 will lead to CFW 3.73.
And we all know that means "to the dumpster" for True Blue dongle bongle.

But never mind: THANK YOU A LOT! You deserve every respect in the PS3 scene for sharing your work with us?

That would be awesome, being able to run homebrew (and as a homebrew developer have total access to the hardware as any commercial developer would have) and not being able to run ripped games.. This might be an incentive for sony not to persue this (although I would doubt they wouldn't).. Personally I couldn't care less if it won't run backup managers as 99.9% of the users are using them for being able to play illegal games and nothing else. I hope a releas of this is soon, then I'm going to update from 3.15 to the latest firmware..

Piracy is just as criminally as a bankteller skimming money.. If you think the price of a game is too high, then just wait until it's a bit less (or just look around on the internet) otherwise just leave it. Nobody is holding a gun to your head and saying you have to play the game. If you can't afford it, there's no reason to steal it, just like you wouldn't steal a car..

great kakaroto thank you very much...
and still people keep fighting over news! if tomorrow 3.73 jailbreak would be released that allowed everything we have right now plus a lot more people would still ***** and fight... i don't understand why people have the need to fight cause of news... its not even bad news... i really don't get it...
11-21-2011
01:16 PM
Ok so if he gets hombrew on 3.73 and backup managers are homebrew then shouldnt managers work in the end?
I personally think he is just covering his tracks and he should after what happened to geohot
Also not stating how it works sure makes us confused but in the end its so he doesnt get caught or Sony doesnt release some sort of update that will block this "jailbreak" whatever it turn out to be.
Either way it will lead to CFW in the future right?
and yes before someone rages at me i am a noob and i do use backups because i have a nice 1tb hdd in my ps3 and its far easier to load a game in a XMB backup manager than changing disks. i know i am lazy, but i do buy games so i am not a complete *******
Oh and Kakaroto thanks alot for all the hard work and thanks for sharing it with us, especially my lazy self

Great news!
[MENTION=175893]KaKaRoToKS[/MENTION] I don't know if you will read this but, since your jailbreak is not a modified firmware, does it has to do with an application modifying the firmware after its installed? or would something like that help with the "Install Packages" issue?
Maybe if an application was installed before upgrading to 3.7x and the application was able to still run on 3.7x with a routine to copy contents from a storage device (or another location, like the web) to the PS3 HDD, maybe that could be a simple solution to the install packages problem.
Another idea would be (assuming the previous idea worked) Installing a "Dummy Application" before upgrading to 3.7x then using the other application to copy new application contents into the "Dummy Application" directory replacing the old ones, resulting in having an updated "Dummy Application".
I'm just a windows dev so I don't know what kind of functions are not accessible when running an application on OFW, but maybe these ideas could help (or not xD LOL).
Anyway, great stuff [MENTION=175893]KaKaRoToKS[/MENTION] ! Keep it up!
SeeYaa!

Thank you, KaKaRoTo, for still working on the PS3, and your willingness to release to the scene, so we, the end-users, can profit from your hard work. I have donated for that, and will do it again, as a way to say "thank you" for the finished product.
Whether it will be a jailbreak that will enable me to play my legally owned games on PSN, while I, at the same time, have all the homebrew abilities in the same box, or even end up in a CFW, where I wont even have to move my butt from the recliner to the PS3 to switch BluRays, I do not care. Anything is better than being stuck on 3.55 and missing out on some of the great features, just because you don't want to limit your hardware's possibilities.

Don't worry guys, he said it won't support piracy because that's not something he's going to work on.
Of course, that doesn't mean other people won't, so, backups will come like within a week of release, remember the beginning of 3.55 CFW?
Yeah. I mean, piracy or backups and homebrew go hand in hand, there's just no other way. Somebody will find a way.
And yes this is real, and yes this will be released, Kakaroto is not a pussy who keeps all his exploits to himself like a 4-year old kindergartener does with his toys.
11-21-2011
02:16 PM
Nice, good job KaKaRoTo
Just a quick recap for everyone.
KaKaRoTo 3.73 jailbreak will essentially only allow us to INSTALL .PKG, play homebrew and PSN games. NO BACKUP MANAGER will work since it requires lv2/lv1 patches. Also, his jailbreak 3.73 will NOT LET YOU PLAY LATEST 3.73 games.
For example, let's say you dump a bluray you need to decrypt the EBOOT and modify the path from dev_bdvd to dev_hdd0/game to "convert" it to a PSN game, you need keys for that or BDEMU, that won't work, since that needs lv2 patches.

11-21-2011
02:30 PM
so any games released by duplex, say ... Driver San Fransisco for example will work, as they are installed as a pkg, and run from the XMB rather than using a manager?
I thought most games if not all could be created to run as a pkg?
Of course 3.73 games will work, they may well have to be run from the disk, but they will work.

After release, we can give it another 2 weeks and this will be cracked and running backup managers. Lets hope KaKaRoTo comes back from his vacation, and not leave forever as others do. But, I'll trust he will.

Things not to forget:
• The ONLY thing this will allow is Homebrew. Such a thing is already available on 3.55.
• Do NOT update to 3.73 as soon as this is released. Allow it to be tested first via PS3hax members, or whoever else you trust. You never know when something could go wrong. (even if it's safe, be weary, because losing 300$ is a |31+(|-|)
• Do NOT update to 3.73 as soon as this is released, unless you own physical copies of your game. (backed up and pirated will not work right away, obviously.)
• If you don't own any physical copies of the disc, and aren't planning to buy any, just sit back and wait. There's no need to jump the gun to something useless. Wait until a CFW is released (And tested, or we'll get another wanky). It's hard holding back the adrenaline to be like Oh $|-|1+, new CFW, MUST INSTALL FOR [game here], but control yourself. Again, 300$ down the drain is a |31+(|-|.
• This method will work on every firmware up to 3.73
• When Sony release 3.74 or even 3.80, this method should still work, providing Sony don't patch.
• Finally, know that when a new OFW comes out, unless this is not fixed by sony, you WILL NOT have PSN again. PSN and CFW is going to be a tricky road to traverse.
11-21-2011
03:52 PM
You are wrong, it was working on 3.60, then he updated the firmware to see if it was still working.
11-21-2011
03:53 PM
People, there's no way to install unsigned pkg's on 3.73, you MUST be in 3.55 to install exploitable pkg.
[07:30:06] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, and even if npdrm signing worked.. how do you install your pkg on an OFW 3.73 ?
[07:30:42] <ddoo> use a game update as a trojan horse
[07:30:55] <ddoo> install it from 3.55
[07:31:01] <ddoo> upgrade,then run it
[07:32:06] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, that might work.. you could also just install your pkg on 3.55 then upgrade...
[07:32:20] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, upgrading doesn't delete any of your packages

Dunno if it's in anyone's head, I really couldn't hide my thoughts so I'll go ahead and see if you thought of that aswell...
As Math accepted that he did the NPDRM algo part and KaKaRoTo said something that pretty like translated to "I'm trying to convince him to use it on my CFW publically but I'm having issues with that", suddently the project feels doomed...
I'm praying to be proven epicly wrong, but suddently, I just hate that I rarelly do...!!! XD

Why are they feeding us this ****?
Kakaroto is known for making "omg omg teh first CFW" that was COMPLETELY USELESS.
Now this cretin has discovered that if you update firmware you still keep old packages, oh, so cool.
So the only remaining part is for him to figure "npdrm algo". Oh joy.
I recall "kakaroto is doing refactoring" also somehow made into news.

Dude make your own thread. what does this have to do with KakaRoto's 3.73jb?
11-21-2011
05:02 PM
Kind of offtopic but when are one-post-wonders going to get blocked from posting to News sections? It starts to get viral.
Also BM should work with a patch or somethin imo, the patch would add peek/poke and the needed syscalls for them to work...

Seems a special member of this forum said the following.
"syscall 838 is your doorway to 3.73"
We got the door but are the keys necessary for this door lunuxx?

Am Definitely looking forward to this if someone releases something big by christmas or on christmas day. I will seriously donate to whoever worth donating too. I've been waiting patiently for months. Thanks Kakaroto Mat for giving hints and all the other devs who work hard in their sparetime to give us more out of our ps3, especially apps like showtime openftp etc...
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDD

KaKaRoTo is a dev that does not dissapoint and releases his findings and methods and source code for free. This site is a PS3 hacking news\support site. Not only is this news to the scene but it is actually quite important news because of the dev, his reputation for not dissapointing and the fact that hes just about jailbroken 3.73.
Yes it says no backup manager support yet but if you knew the scene (as i said), you would know that once its out someone will get backups to work. This is exactly how the first PS3 jailbreak cfw was created.
For people like you obviously you are going to be dissapointed because all you care about really is product product product, release release release, links links links. "Not all news has to have some sort of download". But for people for who this site was made for, which are people who are interested in the PS3 hacking scene and want to give there support to the devs that bring us these free slices of awesomeness, this is big news.
Hope this sheds light on the matter

GregoryRasputin is Right, you have to be on 3.55, let me explain the way I understand it.
To be able to install his exploit you have to be on 3.55. to have it on your machine. When you update, the packages are still there and you can run the exploit. if you on higher firmware when you try to install it, you will get an error.
As it has been said, this is for homebrew. it will not run games. Multiman will load but when you select a game it will not play. I am not sure this is even fixable like kmeaw did with the last homebrew only jailbreak. As I been told, and understand it, Sony has fixed it so you can not Patch into the LV1 hypervisor and LV2 Kernel to add the peek and poke system calls needed for the piracy part. or they fixed the way the currently public method worked. I don't know if it is possible at all to add to the HV call table into this. to make it a CFW.
What I believe this will be for, is to have homebrew, Showtime,( Maybe some FTP )and be able to play Current owned games, like Skyrim,Uncharted, Saints, Fifa. what ever you phsically have. He is giving you a way to play your current games.
I wish more Devs were more outspoken for the public. Just to give insights on what they think of projects so people don't expect things to be more than what they are. Even if this is not patch-able. he is giving you guys a the ability to keep homebrew and play newer owned games. And I am afraid that people is going to bash this once they figure out they can not have their cake and eat it too.
If I am miss informed please do not hesitate to correct me.

What's the purpose of installing homebrew, if then you can't use it.
Since we can install multiMAN, but then we can't use it for our backups.
PS3 is a gaming system, and GAMES are the most important part for me.
Because, in theory, one would lose the ability to load his previous backups as well the new ones
and would only be able to play current games from disc.
I wonder what he has actually decrypted...
Bottom line, homebrew alone won't satisfy me
I rather stay on 3.55 with True Blue (which I haven't bought yet), rather than updating
and only be able to play original discs and homebrew.
That's my opinion.

I believe when he is finished with it then it will work on base 3.73. But as I take it, as of right now, until he fixes the NRPDM algo, which he is said he has not fixed completely yet. you have to be on 3.55. He even mention he had to have it installed on 3.55 and when he updated it still worked. which is stated on main page IRC chat log.
Good Luck with this thread Greg,Pockets, japsander.

Guys, I don't know why, but I have this feeling, that every 10 minutes i keep on coming back on Ps3Hax hoping to see a massive news indicating "3.73 JB is finally here" and i'm constently refreshing the page, It's only matter of, if not hours, but days before we see it. What we have all been waiting for, unwilling to wait. I can't freaking believe this!
11-21-2011
06:26 PM
I'd say your optimism is clouding your perception of what is really going to happen right now, just wait and expect this (if anything comes of it for full exploited CFW) to happen in late December or mid Jan of next year.

Stay in your pockets. And wait for the guys who are really working on things do the work. CFW is nothing like playing a game. You people choose to play online and newer games and so upgraded the FW. You can only go one direction in one time. I am also on 3.7 fw lets hope for something good from anybody who is still works for the love of sharing information.

anyway i don't want to be the bringer of bad news... but those of you that are expecting backups out of this... it will never allow for such thing... 1 this is not a 3.55 firmware that we had the keys for everything, except lv0, 2 this will only run backups once the bootloader has been hacked and we have all the goodies, and for that we would get a REAL CFW not this method kakaroto is releasing.
this is not like back then that we needed to modify lv1 to allow lv2 peek and poke for backups, that can't be done right now, lv1/lv2 is well hidden, we can't reach them yet.
But for everyone that wants to run homebrew and still be on psn, and play the latest games this is so awesome thank you kakaroto

If this was my forum, i would let you check every single post before releasing it. Almost everybody expects waaaaaaay too much, probably because those threads aren't written "noobish" enough.
Anyways, great to see Kakaroto working on this.

I hope Multiman still works on 3.73 JB, even without backup support it has some interesting features (NTFS copy support for video files over 4GB is great).

I am not going to lie, I will probably hop over when this comes out. The only reason I am on 3.55 still is because of the showtime player. Also, from the sound of things, playing back ups would not be too difficult of a task for developers to implement. At least not as difficult as hacking bootloader or lv0
11-21-2011

@XxBlackCatModxX and I'm all for competition, no worries. I do this for fun, not for race or whatever. Also, 3.73 cfw is not possible
Key point being "Also, 3.73 cfw is not possible" which at this point (and coming from KaKaRoTo) I believe is more to the truth than this XxBlackCatModxX guy being "almost finished with the 3.73 cfw".

An Update from Kakaroto :
[SPOILER]Hi all,
I’ve been flooded with questions on twitter and I’ve read many posts on news sites and I’ve seen some stuff being said on IRC and I thought I needed to clarify a few things…
First of all, I didn’t expect to see my tweet front paged on all ps3 hacking news sites.. although I should have expected it.. but anyways, the “jailbreak” is not ready to be used, at all. I only tweeted that because I was excited having it working and I wanted to share my excitement with everyone. But this is a bit equivalent to the day I released that create_cfw.sh script that created the very first CFW/MFW but it still took a couple of months before a real, easy, multiplatform and fully fledged solution was released : PS3MFW.
We are currently at the same state, I have the proof of concept, it works, but a solution that anyone can use where they just click a button and their PS3 gets jailbroken is still far from ready.
I’ve seen people say (and even write it in their front page news) that I’ll release it in two weeks after I come back from vacation. That is not true and I never said that. What I said was that for the next 2 weeks, the project is on hold until I get back.. but when I get back, then I will continue working on it, and it will then take some more time before it’s ready and released.
Some asked if it’s based on what gitbrew was doing/suggesting or if I used someone else’s exploit or work. No, this solution is my own idea and 100% my own implementation. However, the actual solution for the full jailbreak involves some components on which I will not work, and I expect/hope that someone else will provide the solution for that.
Some speculated it might be what I spoke about back in March which I later said I wasn’t pursuing by lack of motivation.. and yes, you are right. The same hack I had in March is still valid today, I told a few people about it (rms, Mathieulh, an0nym0us, and a couple more), but no one was interested in pursuing it further and actually exploiting that flaw (mainly because it requires a huge amount of work to get a proof of concept working). 10 days ago (I started on the 11th), I got bored and decided to start poking at it again, and yesterday (a lot faster than I thought it would take), I got my first pkg installed on 3.73 firmware.
On twitter, I said “do not update if you are on 3.55″, I said that in response to someone who said he would update. Because of that, people speculated that you need to be on 3.55 first, and then install something before doing the upgrade. No, that’s not it, that would be useless. The purpose of my solution is to jailbreak a ps3 that is already on 3.73 firmware and which had never been jailbroken before. I told people not to update because, first of all, it’s not yet ready, and second of all, the 3.55 firmware gives you a lot more possibilities than what can be achieved on 3.73.
So what is this jailbreak? I won’t say because I don’t want Sony to block it in a firmware update (and yes, they potentially could) before it’s even released (and yes, I will release it when it’s ready). But I will explain this to you : in order to run your homebrew apps, you need two things. First, to be able to install them on the ps3, and second to be able to run it once installed. I did only one of these two things.
Some may say it’s not a real jailbreak, but the way I see it, there are three ‘jails’ on the ps3, I broke the first one which prevents you from installing anything, so now you can install your .pkg, great, but it won’t run, that’s the second jail. The third jail is being able to modify the firmware (peek&poke).
The second jail (running apps) is something that can be done, but it’s not my area of expertise (npdrm algo), so I will not be working on that. I am waiting for someone else to achieve it (some have succeeded but do not wish to release it, at least not for now) then I will release.
The third jail (modifying the firmware) is not possible with my method, this means that you will not have a “CFW”, you will run your homebrew applications and games on an official firmware. This also means that without peek&poke support, none of the backup managers will work. So, again, my solution is piracy-free, and as always, I do not plan on working on a way to enable piracy (or even legal backups).
Overall, the purpose will be to allow people who are on 3.73 firmware to enjoy the homebrew games that were released, to play a bit with Eskiss, and to use Showtime for playing their movies. This should be more than enough for everyone.
Finally, I will conclude by replying to another question I received : Do you accept donations? The answer is yes. I do accept donations but I do not seek them out. I will include a donate button to the bottom of this post, so if anyone wishes to donate, they can do so, however, I want to make it clear that whether or not you donate does not and will not affect in any way, the release, or the progress of the work I’m doing. If you donate, you would do it as a sign of appreciation of my efforts, and not in exchange of any favors or anything crazy like that.
That’s about it I think… If you have any more questions, please refrain from asking them, I get enough as it is already.. I also said everything I needed to say and I don’t want to give any more information than that (for now).

Just because something is possible, it don't mean we will see it available now, in the near future, or ever... until a cfw is released, it remains just a "possibility". Nothing more, nothing less.

10:43 PM
Gotta say, well played to KaKaRoTo, Instead of letting a load of drama and expectation build up (which will still happen anyway) to stroke his ego, he comes out and says exactly what to expect (i.e. no CFW & no Backups, homebrew only from him.)
I'm sure this has burst a few balloons (in fact I hope it has, just to manage expectations), but I'm equally sure a few people will still be disappointed when he releases and it isn't a CFW or do Backups.

11-21-2011
11:08 PM
In all honestly whether people like it or not KaKaRoTo is doing exactly what he should be doing .Sony can not mess with him if he supports only homebrew with his FW .He can share with the scene without a LAWSUIT ,even if sony tried they would lose ! [MENTION=128365]kakaroto[/MENTION] you know ,you are s smart guy & i can see how you explained the situation. Make it clear that there will be no Backups on your release if / when it happens. You cover your A$$ .That is how it should be done. I personally may not use the release ,but many others will. I have much respect what you believe in free flow information/sharing + what you have done for the scene
People need to realize ,would it be better if KaKaRoTo was to release a CFW to do everything a 355 can do ? No bad idea .that would be very risky if released in his name & just bad .
I know i would be happy if i was stuck on 356+ & could not play my new games.. We all been waiting for a release of something big to hope the scene will not die & i think this will be a big help to keep the scene alive.
We don't want to lose a good DEV/Person/Member/Hacker, that is helping the scene in a big way + all he has done .Come on ,people who say without a backup manager it is useless ? You can still play your disc based games. I mean those who say this do you want to see KaKaRoTo to end up in a lawsuit ? I don't want to hear anything like that happen to the guy. I know that many others don't want to see that either . I will be there is he releases & if Sony still does mess with him ,but i doubt Sony will be so dumb as they already know what has happened in the past. Other than the fact there is no piracy enabled if he releases which sony would have no case !
Thank you KaKaRoTo for your interest in the PS3 & for sharing your information .If releasing in public, you are doing things right & if anonymous Devs, want to enable other features.? You walk away clean & we remember your name friend. KaKaRoTo has always cared & the way i look at it he is giving something bigger than anyone has in a long time ! Everybody who has been asking for a CFW every week .
Well things are looking good & appreciate what you may be getting = it's a start

Yea, exactly what i or any sensible true JAILBREAK fan needs. Those crying for BM and legal backups. You guys don't buy every game but when it is piracy you will download even the most ****ty games. I am super excited for the options kakaroto will be releasing later. Nothing else is needed. He is the nicest person/dev. Thank you KaKaRoTo

There once was a well known, now obscure, method that can "install" any package on any PS3.
If you have followed the PS3 scene since its inception think hard and you might remember it.
How long has the PS3 been around?
IF you get that, Apps just needs to be "signed" for 3.56+ firmware and then its over.
...but it is very easy for Sony to block.
Best to wait for Sony to update as far forward as possible.
That's all this is.

...but it is very easy for Sony to block.
Best to wait for Sony to update as far forward as possible.
That's all this is.

If sony updated firmware and fixed something tomorrow could we still just download the older hackable firmware version off the internet, put it on usb, and upgrage to the older firmware? Dunno about the upgrade proceses, since I don't update anything anymore.

ty for this itskamel, well done. kakaroto isn't being 100% truthful tho, i'm sure he loves his homebrew, but running console games of a hdd is everyone's favorite thing, pirate or not.

Should be front paged imo.
Also I turned out correct about that you don't need 3.55 for it to work, It was clear, I am yet to understand how people didn't understood and they spread out that this will work only if you start from 3.55, they have big imagination.
Also so far I turn out correct in this post:

This is a great kick-start to the new path to 3.7x CFW. It took a while to get to this stage but now that he has shown it is possible, more devs (i hope rebug latch onto this) will start popping up and trying their hand at PS3 exploitation.
The scene will surely speed up from here on in. I hope Sony don't update untill then
He also states that an0n knew what he was talking about! (for all those people who jumped to conclusions said he was a 1 post noob).
11-22-2011
01:35 AM
Then, you can always sign apps to 3.55. They would still run on your 3.73
He doesnt explicitly need 3.73 keys to run apps on that fw.
Finally, lemme set up a ps3 dev env.

I am strongly against newer CFW that can allow running backups AND going online for the reasons that every little scumbag is going to cheat online.
Playing newest single players games ? Ok.
Running homebrew ? Ok.
Poking around in OthersOs/Linux? Ok.
Ruining online for "normal users"? No.

Hi,
After a read of the entire (52) pages, i just want to know what you guys think of this:
http://www.elotrolado.net/hilo_metld...irvete_1700840
Sorry dudes it's spanish, but the guy claims (DarkVolt) to have the mtdlr decrypted and dumped...
I'm sceptic but maybe it could lead us to what we all expect: a 3.73+ CFW ?
Have a good day,
Slander

till all updates we see kakaro to 3.73 cfw is install successfully but not give backup same other developer demon Hades cfw 3.56 not install in ofw 3.56 but give backup if we combine both maths and ideas so we get a 3.56 or 3.66 cfw as soon compair to 3.73 big deal idea at last best of luck

Update 1: Well he sounds like an honest chap, speaks what he thinks and whilst all the PS3 Scene sites jumped on the "its news! print it!" bangwagon (when it wasn't) he's a damn sight clearer and open to possibilities than Math ever was.
Don't mean we're anywhere closer to actually playing new games on homebrew, (so i'd have not bothered with the story) but then again if these types of stories were not reported the entire ps3 scene would have died over a year ago.
Its sad really, that with the high anticipation of something that will allow us to actually use our PS3's for what they were intended, ANYTHING is printed by "so called" news websites.

Props to Youness for all his efforts and achievements, the guy is a gun.
Saying that however, I am only really interested in working backups on ALL firmwares, so in essence I'd be over the moon if/when lv0 has been exploited and documented for public.
Defenders of the earth can carry on with their speech about what is right in the world and what is wrong in the world, I'm just being a realist.

I would call Snes, Nes, Megadrive emulators decent homebrew, which was back in 2007/2008.
There was also BD Java, not awesome, but still worked well enough for Sony to block it.
The scene was quite alive, of course there wasn't that glorified piracy, but we had enough, until Sony raped our OtherOS.

All 360's can be hacked in one way or another although it depends on dash version or DVD drive model as to what hack you can perform.
For example you can JTAG hack a Xenon model if its below a specific dash version and CB but this same console (Xenon) can not use teh newer RGH hack which can be used on other hardware models (including slim).
You can hack teh DVD firmware on all models except for some slims as cfw is still in progress.
11-22-2011
05:57 AM
I spoke with c4eva on IRC a few months back in regards to his comments that he once wanted to look into the PS3's BD and see what he could do...
He told me with all the new drives MS release, noting the Slim Lite-on that it has slowed down any time he could devote to researching the PS3's BD.
I like the guy to be honest, he's committed and a guy who tries to sick to his word, commendable attribute.

Sony MAYBE know about this and 4-5 other security-holes, that dont even the devs have thought of yet. but its not until its exploited that they need to do something about it!
Sony also got devs at their end, and they got the source for the whole system that they can brainstorm trough, to find exploit-holes!
with that said, cheers and respect to KaKaRoTo! and the other devs for that matter! I dont know that much about C-programming, and absolutely know nada about reverse-engineering, but it most be a ****load of work that you guys are up to!
11-22-2011
07:10 AM
if (and thats a big IF) an "alternative" firmware or away to "change" a firmware comes out AND it works on the latest f/w (3.72) then suddenly sony issue a new say 3.80 f/w are you going to update to 3.80 and miss the 3.72 exploit?
well yes you probably will.
but for the rest of us NO we need to not update and wait and see what KaKaRoTo has for us
THATS WHAT I'M SAYING

**** xbox, They're still playing games from 4 to 10 dvds sarcasm. Can they even play games from external or hdd drive. I think I'll stick with my bd game disc before I stoop so low. It's like a vcr vs. dvd player. But anyways great work KaKaRoto we all believe in you.

11-22-2011
07:31 AM
i dont know way all say geohot has made a CFW it was only a patch the pup from geohot has only inject the entrys for appdata and install pkg into the xml nothing else an his pkg was signt for 3.55 he naver patchet lv1 or lv2 this was done by wanin and else.

I'm content with the 360 scene, screw the haters, both the PS3 and 360 are great together, leave the competition for the corporations and enjoy the content each brings to the table.
I just want my PS3 to have lv0 support (a fix once and for all), I have a JTAG 360 (offline) and a legit Slim for online, I am not here to corrupt anybodies online experiences, just let me play games.
Not complaining by the way, I'll wait for KaKaRoTo's work, hopefully like someone did with GH's MFW peek poke will be enabled with Youness'.

what strikes me with this 3.73 jb and the clarification of karo: it will be obsolete when 3,80 comes out. i was hoping for a possibility to install showtime and some emus on a PS3 that stays on PSN. That is all i ever want.

As far i know, kakaroto know a way to install pkg since march or so...
The point is now he need a crypto master for sing those pkg on 3.6+ whit some kind of npdrm algo.
He combined his way to install the pkg whit mathieulth cryptoimnotreleasingstuff engine and result is a 100% softmod for install and run unsigned code on 3.73 ofw.
So finally he had to find alternative way to avoid npdrm problems.
About backup manager, imho isnt just a matter of time like when egohot release the 1st jailbreak, as now lvl 2 doesnt even exist,he's called lvl 0.2 and he's inside the lvl 0 ( who actually is still secured).
My conclusion is that you can stop thise 58 pages of stupid and useless comments about "CFW", " OMG I WANT WAREZZZZ" , this is a POC jailbreak who can allow some "homebrew" code, pirated stuff is not included, so go get a flasher or TrueBlue.
I also pirate game sometimes, but if there is something wrost than a pirate,those are Gamestop and a ungratefull pirates.
11-22-2011

this exact method seems to not work any more, atleast i couldnt get it to even download custom pkg's.

About the theory that $ony CAN'T Fix that "hole" KaKaRoTo uses:
As soon the Scene knows how he has done/does it, $ony will also know it.
And KaKaRoTo said it was/is only an "Software-Solution", which I undestand as "patchable"...
Am I right?
And even if he releases only "the open door" (as so to say) and not the "key", then how will the Devs know how to brew their own progies for PS3 on 3.7x or >higher<?
Just wondering... :-?

11-22-2011

After that last update I'll say this.
This is great news for the scene, but if nobody releases peek/poke version of this it wont be any good to me personally. I'm glad kakaroto is at it again though, better the scene to move in slow motion than not to move at all.
11-22-2011

but how would he get his pkg on his ps3? if it's not through proxy or dns?
11-22-2011

I don't even fully understand what you actually want to know, or what you're trying to do?
what pkg-files do you want to install? and on what FW?
11-22-2011
11:39 AM
right now i'm trying to get different game patches to install, through for example the life with playstation symbol, but that dosent work(anymore).

Its very easy... much easier than you might expect.
And yes the method is searchable and posted in detail a long time ago.
Pay attention to the language used to descibe what is being done.
It wont do anyone any good until packages can be signed for 3.56+
So until that happens its useless and damaging to the scene to expose the "exploit" for what it is.

The front page was edited last night, with a statement from KaKaRoTo's blog, stating that it works on 3.73 and that you don't need to downgrade.
The reason he said not to update, is because it wont be ready for a while, perhaps a month or even two months...

11-22-2011
01:32 PM
Meh.......I don't care for this. This will not lead to anything but more homebrew. No offense to homebrew developers or anything but I have homebrew galore on many other handhelds and consoles. I hope if this is what others wanted that they are happy.

first i'm new and i'm just asking a question
the first cfw i had Waninkoko CFW 3.55 with the peek and poke.
could you install it"on this fw" to get back up manager or second install multiman with bdemu 2
and load the payload that way

dont you need the keys to sign it for the 3.7x firmware or is a 3.55 signed pkg good enough? If the latter then there should be that peek/poke lv patcher but didnt the lv2 turn into lv0.2 or something?

IF 3.56+ apps can be signed to run THEN Peek and Poke must designed to run from the OFW XMB.
Thats a problem.
Nothings Impossible... love that...
Pay attention to the 3 states outlined about the jailbreak process.
CFW will require per console keys and thats a different hack altogether.
Although this would make getting software NOR and maybe NAND dumps much easier.

Thanks to the recent silent DAE update he has been able to discover how to hit DAE/AP25 with the "Silver Bullet" and has developed iXtreme LT 3.0 which defeats DAE/AP2.5 reliance completely.
I just read that Microsoft just did some firmware update to sabotage the XboX ,playing burned DVD online .I guess it was today or yesterday .There is a fix though already & i guess it seems they are fast to hack a patch , Xbox devs .

I happened to come across that few min ago. I should have PM. In the future anybody just PM about anything non related since 1 post can throw everything off topic to end up getting somebody else caught up very easy. I stayed away from here & i make 1 post in response to get heat
I did not start it ! but did respond. I have been off hax cause i am sick of drama. This is why i don't spend much time here l8ly ,every thread goes off topic l8ly. CYA enjoy..

For sure . Sony i think in all honestly .They will back off with lawsuits cause they are scared of another hack on psn + their websites again .There are plenty of hackers that if Sony did mess with anybody with a Big/Small name u bet they would get attacked !
I believe & Sony would be real dumb cause look on how they cry about how much money they lost + they were victims: of hackers ) They had to give free games out & also try & win back their customers by Sucking Their DKs ,lol !!

Guys, i think that we got too hyped up over this thing. I mean ye it's great, but no keys and CFW mean we haven't accomplished what we hoped for. I know we are close, and we have the resource and materials to get there. But we need patience and a bright dev that can cook us a CFW using the leaked recipes. For now all i can say is, keep up the good work devs.
11-22-2011
03:39 PM
Pfff.. If we can run any homebrew which has the same capabilities as a commercial game, then hell he has accomplished anything I hoped for.. So bring it on, and I'll update to OFW3.73.. And hopefully this patch will only work for homebrew and nobody get's a CFW working, that way it might even be that Sony will let this slide (even though I doubt it)..

Backup managers would have to be enabled through peek and poke from the OFW XMB.
Its EXACTLY what he said it is and is not.
Go back and Read again, its abundantly clear.
Maybe the problem is with the use of the word JailBreak.
JailBreak DOES NOT REQUIRE CFW.
Forget what you think you already know and learn.
Read the 3 states that require an official "jailbreak" again.
"Installation" is the easy part.
Signing packages for 3.56+ OFW is NOT.
Google and be enlightened.

What does 3.73 have that 3.55 because as karako said an update can block this so there wont be much online gaming if your into it.
3.55 still has linux and all homebrew already sorted this would all have to be recompiled for 3.73 so would there be a huge benefit or any in this.
Its an acheivement in hacking and heads up to that all respect

So is it's true and it's not fake why isn't is viral and widely discussed about and like supported! Is there any reason for this or is just me>? LMAO

instead of releasing their findings like they demanded of others they found a way to make money out of it.
where do you think uncharted 3 eboot was going to go and the reason certain people were fuming with anger about its "leak" **cough-cough TB exclusive**

This KaKaPooPoo jailbreak lets you install non-peek/poke homebrew only. Showtime, a few emulators, a few homebrew games.
I wouldn't get my hopes up unless kmeaw or REbug can further this to include peek/poke support and the NPDRM keys.

Dongle makers are killing their self when it will be dumped on the net.
Anyways if kararo will release cfw then sure will Math take it over for backups.
Now I know it's only homebrew it's still a little rip off. But a great thanks.
11-22-2011

True Blue do not own what they are selling, Sony and the respective game manufacturers do, so as you see, it is not their "intellectual property", try educating yourself, instead of drowning yourself in ignorance and stupidity.....

Also, I loathe the fact that I stood behind that whole fiasco when the leak was released. I took a stand point for a dev. in although that I still believe , 100%, that dev has the right to release their work when they want to. I do not fall in line with this TB garbage. and it all fits together, The anger, the advertising. If you were banking on TB, would you not want the only playable way to play uncharted on your side.
Even though there is no proof, what is here is enough to sway me to thinking that Uncharted was going to TB, you all should thank moogie for saving you guys money when he leaked that.
to some people its ok to pirate, but not to pirate when they themselves can make money, then its bad and it becomes unethical and people suddenly start pointing out linguistics. its all owned by someone right?

This scene is a joke, its took a year to make a tiny step. Time to sell the PS3 and get an XBOX. I enjoyed the homebrew and the backup managers saving me time swapping discs and keeping my games in Mint condition but other than that the PS3 just isnt worth the bother. Everytime I come on here I yawn at all the repetitve promises.

Progskeet or similar hardware is required at this time.
Also, the last 10+ posts or so have drifted off topic.

LOL, online play ?, if a jailbreak/cfw for 3.73 or higher ever comes out... i highly doubt you will be able to play online .. I am sure that Sony will block online play as soon as any crack is available ... that is the whole downfall of having CFW.. you give up PSN and online play .. even if there is a crack or patch that comes out .. we can all pretty much agree it would get blocked within a few days ..

Can this POTENTIALLY allow us to run our legitimate bought games that require 3.7 FW or higher on 3.55 CFWs, or is this jailbreak only meant for people who have 3.7+ OFW to run homebrew?
I have a store-bought copy of King of Fighters XIII sitting in front of my face and it's driving me absolutely ****ing nuts that I can't play it without updating to OFW.
11-23-2011
04:14 AM
It allows homebrew on official firmware.
Nothing to do with making games work
11-23-2011
04:29 AM
Also it should be clear he won't release this if somebody cannot help him get past NPDRM issues he's facing...
If he gets the help, according to KaKaroTo, backup managers (not to boot but to play backups) will still be impossible with his release.
11-23-2011

hope kameaw turn this into CFW that support multiman or something
ill i care about is playing game for free
i have to admit
11-23-2011

Guys i think its just awsome that we will be able to play Homebrew on our machines... I own a jailbroken PS3 and i spend more time playing FBA/SNES
games than actual PS3 games I dont really care for the PS3 games.... so lets just be happy with the little we have .... its like they say.... a half loaf of bread is better than nothing
11-23-2011
06:27 AM
Correct me if i'm wrong, but if they do manage to crack the NPDRM allowing installed homebrew to run, you should also be able to install and run DUPLEX released PSN games (they don't require peek/poke as far as i'm aware)
11-23-2011
06:29 AM
it would help if yal had a basic understanding of whats happening, what he is attempting and what the blocking stones are. you cant just wish for something (well, you can, but shouldnt) without even trying to figure how possible it is
11-23-2011

And if you don't know who kakaroto is or what he has done then the jokes on you I guess.
Now when he says he is going to work on this, I 100% believe in him.
He has not given any false hopes/outlandish claims/reason to doubt.
He has explained in full what can/cannot be done with this and also been very honest about not being able to do it all on his own.
You have to respect an open dev who isn't just riding on the fame train, its very rare these days and its refreshing to see

Kakaroto isnt that that guy that became a Super Saiyan? derpderp
(just joking around lol) but yeah when he releases it it might be that someone else uses that basis to create a peek and poke support and releases a CFW, time will tell.

I am asking as a TOTAL noob:
does installing pkgs on 3.7x need the chain of trust to "let you in"?
I hope you understand what I mean, 'cause I have no idea how to describe it better... :-(
Because if so, and KaKaRoTo managed to bypass the chain of trust, then this would allow installing an pkg that could somehow "exploit" (REMINDER: me is N00B) some usefull things we need. dunno what we already have and what we still need to get this PS3 PWNED?
or wouldn't it be possible that way?

So after 700 pages of posts and 2 updates it appears that this is yet another false hope.
Sure its great news for those who want to play ZX Spectrum games on the PS3 but for us more serious gamers its just another pre climax.
Thank god my wife has purchased me an Xbox 360 for Christmas with all the new games. And ill have the new Xbox 360 dashboard to play with.

Ok, for those who didn't read all the information, i will keep clear:
1 - It's just for people with old ps3 and fw 3.55 or less.
2 - It will not work on new ps3 cech 3000+
3 - It will just run homebrew, nothing more (no backups)
And for those who didn't buy a ps3 yet:
1 - Old ps3 are not made anymore, it's hard to find now.
2 - Don't buy a new ps3, you will not be able to use cfw.
3 - Also you'll not be able to run backups.
4 - All hackers just care about old ps3, so, no hope.
If you already have a old ps3, good. If not, and want to buy a console, buy a xbox 360 or a wii, because you will have far, far better hackers.

Read the FAQ again!
Kakaroto clearly stated on twitter, that this exploit works for people that are already on 3.73.
11-23-2011
01:24 PM
1 - It's just for people with old ps3 and fw 3.55 or less.
wrong, see FAQ. it works on 3.73
2 - It will not work on new ps3 cech 3000+
most likely wrong. needs to be tested, but exploit is high level enough if it works on OFW 3.73
3 - It will just run homebrew, nothing more (no backups)
correct.
And for those who didn't buy a ps3 yet:
1 - Old ps3 are not made anymore, it's hard to find now.
correct.
2 - Don't buy a new ps3, you will not be able to use cfw.
that is false, cfw will come out eventually.
3 - Also you'll not be able to run backups.
see above
4 - All hackers just care about old ps3, so, no hope.
good thing you've asked every developer and hacker what they care about. you are wrong.

1- old ps3 or new there isnt difference on firmware, is always the same 3.72 fw, the thing changed is just mtldr revision who dont let you downgrade.So as he exploited 3.72ofw ofc u can jailbreak a 3k series whit this method
2- fake, or at least tell us why he shouldnt work on 3k series
3- it's all what we need for now
If tomorrow all the post made by missinformed ppl magically disappear, we will get a clean topic whit 3 or 4 pages max.
