Thanks to @CaptainCPS-XÂ for the info share with us
What is this all about:
I know that last month an article was posted regarding a clone of a clone. But in this thread I want to share my personal findings after doing tests with a JB-King dongle and inspecting PB2 (PS3break new product).
Attention:
This thread is not made to cause any controversial discussion and as the thread opener I ask of you, please let’s stick to the main topic: “using PB2 firmware with JB-King dongle”. If you want to discuss any other controversial stuff, please do so in the appropriate “drama” section.
The Findings:
As a very curious person that I am, and as a owner of various dongles / hardware that were at some point used and still are used in the ps3 scene to achieve some kind of jailbreak, like for example E3 Card Reader, CobraUSB, TI-84 Plus Calculator (yeah LOL, old payload days), and just recently I got a JB-King from a local store.
I was wondering what was PB2 all about, so I went to their site and started looking at the documentation, for my surprise I noticed that everything, including the documentation images where exactly the same as JB-King documentation. Immediately I decided to check the download section and obtain the PB2 dongle firmware files, I then kept my curious investigation by opening them on my Hex editor, check sizes, names and extension.
Now check this out, here you have JB-King FW files information (main FW and last update FW):
Code: File Name: 2.3_upgrade.dfu (main dongle FW) Size: 2.00 MB (2,097,461 bytes) CRC32: FFFFFFFF MD5: 2A9CEA5056A5681F0126EABCA117B47D SHA-1: E426B39291197AB21F671411F63C49A0E987417BCode: File Name: upgrade_2.51.dfu (update FW) Size: 25.2 KB (25,813 bytes) CRC32: FFFFFFFF MD5: C41A2E1433CA297A7E104502C53C7389 SHA-1: 718AF82E4B40624C720FD8B8CA7AE6556CA3895Cand here you have PB2 FW files information as well:
Code: File Name: spitb27.dfu (main dongle FW) Size: 2.00 MB (2,097,461 bytes) CRC32: FFFFFFFF MD5: CF988AC5EA526304981F0DC182E4D059 SHA-1: 56995A63B04793A8500F1CFB7B61D624BD76D325Code: File Name: upgrade_2.71.dfu (update FW) Size: 20.5 KB (21,013 bytes) CRC32: FFFFFFFF MD5: 9F8947326DCF46C0D02DF2E27F83F478 SHA-1: F814938B857F99687DD008E6D41DA61717268E7CNote: CRC32 was apparently modified in both cases JB-King / PB2, since this algo is flawed and if you have enough knowledge you can practically do this with all files, other hashes seems to be fine though.as you can see, the sizes and extension, and even the file header matches with each other (they are not identical in data though).
The Test:
After all that I came to the conclusion that if I flashed / upgraded my JB-King dongle with the PB2 dongle FW files it should in theory work.
So I did it…
- Connected the JB-King dongle to the PC (while holding the upgrade switch / button)
- Run the JB-King upgrade utility
- Loaded the main PB2 FW file, spitb27.dfu, and updated my dongle with it.
- Disconnected the JB-King dongle from the PC
- Connected it again, and did the same flashing but with the latest PB2 FW file, upgrade_2.71.dfu.The Results:
After connecting the JB-King dongle flashed with the PB2 FW to my PS3, I turned it on and as expected, everything was fine. I didnt even change my PS3 CFW, still using the JB-King CFW v2 provided in their site.
I then, loaded multiMAN to test Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (has TB patch applied) and after returning to the XMB the game loaded with no problems.
Conclusion:
This is at least good news for those who bought JB-King, since there hasn’t been any updates in their site with new FW that brings compatibility with newer games.
At least from my personal test findings, you can actually flash a JB-King dongle with PB2 FW and use it without any problems =).
Stay tuned
I will eventually update this thread with information about tests with games like: Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier, so far not supported on JB-King 2.51 FW (as far as I know) , but supported on PB2 v1.02.
Important:
Please note that I am in no way responsible for anything that happen to your dongle / hardware / console by doing what I personally decided to do, if you don’t know how to flash the FW files to JB-King, please be careful.
PS: Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to be as informative as possible =). I will try to update this post with more information as I have more free time to do so.
SeeYa!
Update:
Note: I will keep updating this with more info soon, like games tested, etc.
What is PB2?
PB2 is a recently released PS3 dongle by the creators of PS3Break. It works exactly as JB-King and TB.
PB2 CFW and JB-King CFW
Both firmwares provided by their respective websites are identical, they have the same file hashes:
Code:File Name: PS3UPDAT.PUP Size: 170 MB (178,826,845 bytes) CRC32: 8FCA62E8 MD5: FF689E1E8CDD02A46DDADB14C3C5B85C SHA-1: BA28DAD2975D58B0E55742CE0DA910F22D9516DFExtra Info (might be useful for devs)
This probably is nothing big, but might be of interest for those working on reverse engineering these kind of dongles (JB-King / PB2 / TB / etc)
Both JB-King and PB2 use a Firmware format with a DFU extension, DFU stand for “Device Firmware Upgrade”, and they are designed for STMicroelectronics / devices.
The header of these files start with the following data (this one is from PB2 FW 1.02 / spitb27.dfu)
Code:DfuSe.%. ..Target.....ST....:.ourceCode.stm32_psgroove.genkeytools.spi.tb27.dfuCode:unsigned char rawData[80] = { 0x44, 0x66, 0x75, 0x53, 0x65, 0x01, 0x25, 0x01, 0x20, 0x00, 0x01, 0x54, 0x61, 0x72, 0x67, 0x65, 0x74, 0x01, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x53, 0x54, 0x2E, 0x2E, 0x2E, 0x00, 0x3A, 0x5C, 0x00, 0x6F, 0x75, 0x72, 0x63, 0x65, 0x43, 0x6F, 0x64, 0x65, 0x00, 0x73, 0x74, 0x6D, 0x33, 0x32, 0x5F, 0x70, 0x73, 0x67, 0x72, 0x6F, 0x6F, 0x76, 0x65, 0x00, 0x67, 0x65, 0x6E, 0x6B, 0x65, 0x79, 0x74, 0x6F, 0x6F, 0x6C, 0x73, 0x00, 0x73, 0x70, 0x69, 0x00, 0x74, 0x62, 0x32, 0x37, 0x2E, 0x64, 0x66, 0x75 };Here you have some links to a couple of PDF with more information about the “DfuSe USB device firmware upgrade STMicroelectronics extension”.

tuto for 2.7 jbking:
Update method :
1. Press on JB-King upgrade switch and plug in main USB interface. Open "Upgrade.exe" and upgrade with the "updrade2.7.dfu" file. Then pull out JB-King and close "Upgrade.exe"
2. Do not press on JB-King power switch. Plug the dojngle into PC. After about 5-8 seconds, pull out JB-King.
3. Press on JB-King upgrade switch power again, and plug it into USB interface. Open "Upgrade.exe" and upgrade "S_2.7.dfu". The process will last for a longer time, please be patient !
4. If you get tips as follows, congratulation, your dongle is updated successfully !

PS: Sorry for speaking spanish, but I was clearing out some things to him because I believe he thinks that PB2 v1.02 FW files and those files he linked are different, and the truth is that they are identical.

But the uploader says:
"After connecting the JB-King dongle flashed with the PB2 FW to my PS3, I turned it on and as expected, everything was fine. I didnt even change my PS3 CFW, still using the JB-King CFW v2 provided in their site."
I have to use PB2 Fw or not?
06-30-2012
08:26 PM
Now, if for some reason your JB-King dongle is not working right, for example is not letting your PS3 boot up correctly freezing it up, then just follow these steps to recover its original FW 2.3.
Edit: You will need these files to do the 2.3 recovery, http://www.sendspace.com/file/1ov9sn (JBKING 2.51.rar)
- While pressing your JB-King upgrade switch / button connect it to your PC
- Using the 'Upgrade.exe' tool from JB-King load "2.3_upgrade.dfu" (2 MB)
- Wait for it to upgrade your dongle, this will take a few minutes.
- After it finishes, close the Upgrade Tool and disconnect the dongle from the PC (don't use the Safely Remove Hardware on Windows, just disconnect it)
Now let's go to phase 2 of FW upgrade to 2.3...
- Again, While pressing the JB-King upgrade switch / button connect it to your PC
- Using the 'Upgrade.exe' tool from JB-King load "upgrade 20111220.dfu" (25 KB)
- Wait for it to upgrade your dongle, this will take less time than the first.
- After it finishes, close the Upgrade Tool and disconnect the dongle from the PC (don't use the Safely Remove Hardware on Windows, just disconnect it)
Finally do that same procedure but with the 2.7 and 2.71 FW update files from PB2 v1.02 as I indicated on my original thread.
If everything went ok you should see "Firmware 3.55, True Blue v2.7" on your PS3 System Information, if you don't see that then let me know so I can help you again.
UPDATE: Max Payne 3 (BLUS) is working fine after making a JB-King FW recovery from 2.3 then went directly to PB2 2.7 -> 2.71 (PS3 System Information now display True Blue 2.7).
UPDATE 2!
Tested Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier (BLUS-30521 / TB Patch), Working fine now!
Tested Prototype 2 (BLUS-30756 / TB Patch), Working fine now!
UPDATE 3: The main thread has been updated with the new revised procedure in case anyone doesn't see the proper version of the dongle FW in the PS3 System Information.
SeeYa!

Since for some reason all the thread edits that I made to the original message are gone, here you have the most updated info on my research about PB2 FW v1.02 compatibility with JB-King dongle =) and some extra new information.
Note: I will keep updating this with more info soon, like games tested, etc.
What is PB2?
PB2 is a recently released PS3 dongle by the creators of PS3Break. It works exactly as JB-King and TB.
New to flashing the FW for the first time?
If you need detailed information on how to flash your JB-King / PB2 FW files to your dongle, you can check the following thread made by [MENTION=213427]Nicolas19[/MENTION] , it has detailed information on driver installation for windows (x86 / x64) and has a package with the latest PB2 v1.02 FW files compatible with JB-King dongle as my research uncovers =)
http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=37481 ( Thanks to Nicolas19 for the thread )
NOTE: If for some reason you keep seeing "Firmware 3.55, True Blue 2.5" and not "True Blue 2.7" on your PS3 System Information, then you must do a 2.3 FW recovery as I mentioned earlier, and then directly update to PB2 FW v1.02 (2.7 - 2.71). If after doing this you still see the same information on your PS3 send me a PM so I can help you out when I have some free time =).
PB2 CFW and JB-King CFW
Both firmwares provided by their respective websites are identical, they have the same file hashes:

Great work [MENTION=99538]CaptainCPS-X[/MENTION] - my question is, i have a P3GO (P3 T-Break) dongle, and cannot ignore that the JB-King looks like an identical of it. Am I correct in saying that the P3GO is the hardware that is being used for the JB-King, and if it is, do you think it's possible to load the PB2 v1.02 FW onto it to produce a cloned TB Dongle?
It's interesting to see that the PS3 Cheat dongle also uses the P3GO hardware too (this i know for sure) - sound promising with regards to the abilities of these P3GO Dongles!

I made a new package for those having problems with the flashing process. Please read the documentation that I included, I wrote it myself with specific instructions and details of the process.
Hope it helps, I made every step with my own dongle again to make sure it works and everything went fine. System says "Firmware 4.11, True Blue 2.7".
Here is the README.txt anyways
The Flashing utility that I included is more advanced than the one from JB-King / PB2 so PLEASE, follow the instructions step by step very carefully.
I will say it again just in case...
Please note that I am in no way responsible for anything that happen to your dongle / hardware / console by doing what I personally decided to do, if you don’t know how to flash the FW files to JB-King, please be careful.
UPDATE: I attached a picture that indicates very clear with a big "X" the area of this new Flashing Utility that should NOT use, and a green arrow indicating where we should Choose the DFU files when following the tutorial.

Thank you so much for finding this out!
I have thought that my jb-dildo will be going in the dumpster (well a drawer to be exact) because I was unable to play MGS HD collection that I've got /w the update from the company. And it looked like the company has abandoned it's customers .. but reading the first couple of line from the PB2 webpage it says 'The king is back' so this is a great hint to the fact that it is basically the same company with apparently same hardware used in their dongle.
Following the guidelines of your archive posted above I was successfully able to flash usb key and make it appear as TB v2.7 under System info.
I can confirm the game mentioned above working with the eboot patch!

12:46 PM
Im working on a detailed tutorial (instead of text only) with images and everything so other users can do it without much problem.
Thanks for letting us know!
UPDATE: Here is the full guide with images and all!
Flashing 2.3 -> 2.7 FW to JB-King
To ensure the flashing process of 2.7, first we must make a recovery flashing of FW 2.3.
The flashing consist of 2 phases, because we must flash 2 different targets on the dongle.
NOTE: When removing the dongle from the PC, don't use the Windows "Safely remove hardware" just disconnect the dongle after you finish the flashing process.
PHASE 1 (2.3)
1- While pressing the upgrade button on your JB-King dongle, connect it to your PC.
2- Wait until the device is properly detected
3- Run the included Flashing Utility "DfuSeDemo.exe"
4- In the "Upgrade or Verify Action" section click on "Choose..."
5- Select the included "2.3_Target_01.dfu", on the side box it should say "Target in file... 01 ST"
6- Now in the "Action" list box displayng the available device targets, select the "01"
7- Select the "Optimize upgrade duration (Remove some FFs)" checkbox
8- Press "Upgrade" and wait for the process to complete
PHASE 2 (2.3)
1- After PHASE 1 is done, don't close the Flashing utility
2- In the "upgrade or Verify Action" section click on "Choose..."
3- Select the included "2.3_Target_00.dfu", on the side box it should say "Target in file... 00 ST"
4- Now in the "Action" list box displaying the available device targets, select the "00"
5- Press "Upgrade" and wait for the process to complete
6- You can now remove the dongle so we can get ready for the final upgrading
We are now ready to flash the latest FW 2.71 to JB-King, follow this procedure:
PHASE 1 (2.7)
1- While pressing the upgrade button on your JB-King dongle, connect it to your PC.
2- Wait until the device is properly detected
3- Run the included Flashing Utility "DfuSeDemo.exe"
4- In the "Upgrade or Verify Action" section click on "Choose..."

6- Now in the "Action" list box displayng the available device targets, select the "01"
7- Select the "Optimize upgrade duration (Remove some FFs)" checkbox
8- Press "Upgrade" and wait for the process to complete

2- In the "upgrade or Verify Action" section click on "Choose..."
3- Select the included "2.71_Target_00.dfu", on the side box it should say "Target in file... 00 ST"

Finish!
To verify that the process completed successfully, connect the JB-King dongle to your PS3 and after the booting process finish, go to "System Settings - > System Information".

If it doesn't say it, don't panic try to flash the dongle again.
SeeYa!

Many thanks to Nicolas19 and CaptainCPS-X for your guides.
I tried Nicolas19s guide first with no luck and then Captains guide, again no luck.
System settings still show v2.5.
Will try again using a different computer.

F[MENTION=24536]cki[/MENTION]ng Question!?you used CFW TB V2?

the key moment in all this SPI reflashes is that you have to unplug it from the usb port and then replug it without using the button (it will be detected as a Hub device), then unplug it and plug back in this time holding the button. this has to be done after every SPI flash procedure that you do to the dongle or the microcode on the chip is not being updated properly.

thank you very much, now working.
used Captains guide and did PHASE1 and PHASE2 of 2.3, then unplug dongle and plug back in (without holding button) and wait for USB hub detected message, then pull out the dongle.
Push button on dongle and plug it in to usb port and continue with PHASE1 and PHASE2 of 2.7, then unplug dongle and plug back in (without holding button), computer will show message 'Unrecognised Device', unplug from PC and use in PS3.
This is the method that worked for me.

It would be nice to be able to purchase these boards blank and simply flash them, although there is probably some customization/detection of specific HW addons to deter people from doing so. I'd be willing to try ordering a few, but I have OFW so it would be pointless.

You're sure pumped up over a toy, but your attention to detail regarding your documentation, pictures and concise instructions are refreshing to see compared to most of the poorly composed guides for PS3 related projects. Keep it up and thanks for contributing.

I like to get involved in things like this, very deep, because it allows me to learn a lot of things, and as a programer I feel like I'm finding gold hehe =P
Comments like yours motivate me to keep doing the stuff that I do and help others, so thank you!
Btw, one of my projects for the PS3 scene was multiMAN Retro Tools long time ago ( http://www.ps3hax.net/2011/06/multim...om-management/ ). Maybe I get motivated enough to contribute again with something for the scene.
Take Care! SeeYa!

I'm also working on a project; a lifetime dream of mine I've come to realize over the first half of this year. It sure is rewarding to create something especially if others can make use of it.
Oh, you're welcome for comments.

I updated the thread with "Extra Info" that might be useful for devs working on ways to reverse engineer these dongles firmwares (JB-King / PB2 / TB). It might be nothing big but might lead to something, idk.

Grow up. Your life must be sad if you're actually like this outside the "internet" with everyone you meet.
Go to your drama section, where you belong. You deteriorate every thread you participate in.

I visit every post, that's my job as a moderator, i seen your cry baby post and it made me laugh, i think if you are going to be this sensitive, you should perhaps stay off the internet.

How do you prove I am "crying", where are the facts?
How do you prove I "misunderstood" something, facts?
Just because you say something doesn't mean it IS the truth. A piece of Ice cannot be hot just because you say it.
Btw, the "cry baby post" you are talking about was completely on topic, I included a 'post script' just so if some users don't see me around much, they understood why, it didn't have anything of humor in it.
Who is the one misunderstanding the purpose of things here?
I support my statements with facts, if I am wrong or unsure I say it, and I accept it, but if I know I'm saying the truth I will keep my head high.
PS: To all the users expecting on-topic discussion, I apologize for this, but I will not let someone with "vBulletin privileges" to distort my messages and my image.
SeeYa!

As far as your facts, they are firmly stuck up your arse.
deank is sellout, that is fact, i know that pain you for me to post that about the man you love, but learn to live with it, if you can't, then take your crying ass elsewhere, im sure PS3Crunch could fit just one more retard

Do you even know me? what does PS3Crunch have to do with me anyway?, I do not have anything to do with that place.
Assumptions lead to perdition and definitely you have issues. Keep calling me names, keep insulting, keep talking non-sense. It will not change what I am.
Google is your friend, go and do some research before talking about me, like if you actually knew me.
SeeYa!

I do not start arguments with people, but i do respond to the trash people dish out, im not going to sorry for stating what i think of deank and i am not going to apologise for your hurt feelings, because you thought i was insulting you, get your paranoia in check,, then perhaps we will be able to get along.
