It means DON'T UPDATE. If you do not have CFW and are on 4.25 DON'T YOU DARE UPDATE. With lv0 the sky's the limit. Sony already announced a 4.30 a few hours ago if I'm not mistaken (and no this was not in response to the keys it's just pure coincidence).
EDIT: 4.30 is due out tomorrow DO NOT UPDATE.

Beacuse lv0 IS updatable and metldr 1&2 are NOT (only hardware) that means all produced consoles until today are JB-able ?

10-22-2012

[MENTION=194741]ploggy[/MENTION] it would mean anyone on 4.23 can now get cfw, If I am understanding this right.
10-22-2012
02:05 PM
[MENTION=52506]japsander[/MENTION] i mean it should give 3k a chance right since it would be going to update to 4.25 so it must be compatible ?? Or am i missing something here

simple question which I think others are asking?
lv0keys..
Usefull to those currently on OFW 4.25, or 4.21 etc...
Or only if your currently on CFW to be able to run an exploit of some sort, ie a pkg or pup file?

Guys...the wait is almost over.... i say few hours.... maybe less
-------------------------------------
Well Well, what do you know more keys, sadly all this ****storm in the scene will not end unless the pussies behind all the backroom closed-door dealings come out of the woodwork, and name names, until then developers will be scared again, not knowing whom to trust with their work until it is finished, or whom is mole working both sides of the fence, selling off their hardwork to the highest bidder, and all this drama leaves us soon into another backhole, I have already confirmed a number of developers have pulled the plug, so we have keys for now, but left with a buggy half-finished BlueDisk-CFW firmware, and Sony quickly updated their code, so we may be in luck getting a v4.30 out, but tough luck thinking you see an v4.80 custom firmware release after all this **** hit the fan!

I hate to burst your collective bubbles, but this is not going to help anyone with the new "unhackable" PS3s. Those use different keys for LV0, and even if we could figure out the public keys for those consoles by exploiting metldr, we'd have no way of figuring out the private ones needed to resign LV0 after making changes.
Additionally, for those currently one OFW 3.60+, nothing has changed. You will still need a hardware flasher to install CFW. This is due to the fact that once you have firmware 3.60+, it uses a new key pair to check the validity of the firmware, which we once again have no way of getting the private keys for.
But if you are already on CFW 3.55, look forward to seeing frequent CFW updates in the future, similar to the PSP scene in it's heyday.
By the way, a special **** you to whoever leaked this to Chinese pirates for what was most likely a large sum of cash. While I did want to see the PS3 cracked open eventually, doing this now is going to do nothing but lead to more piracy. I don't particularly like Sony, but they have enough **** to deal with without this happening. I personally could have waited until the PS3's life cycle was complete for these keys. Well, whatever, at least I can buy some new PSN games now that I'd been meaning to get.

While we're waiting on the CFW if we get the appldr we should just need to resign it for 3.55 and then the resigning eboots isn't needed. Just need that appldr!
This should also mean the PSP final FW keys will be found and quite possibly the PSVita keys.

Now that we have the LV0 keys (including the private signing key which we can get because LV0 is signed using keys that were flawed, similar to the rest of the keys pre-3.60), we can decrypt LV0 and extract the rest of the keys used to encrypt the 3.60+ firmware files. But what we can't do is figure out Sony's new private keys, because they fixed the security flaw that allowed us to get those.
Once you install OFW 3.60+, it uses the new uncrackable keys to check the validity of any firmware you try to install, so it is not possible to go directly from OFW 3.60+ to CFW. But with a flasher you can, because it bypasses the check.
10-22-2012
03:18 PM
It would be easier to have a rebug-style fw with mixed debug ldrs inside with all these goodies... (A lot of work needs to be done to get a safe 4.2x cfw if we ever want to go back to 3.55 at some point.)

can this help people get out of service mode on 3.60+ ? eg resign the lv2 diag .self etc
10-22-2012
03:50 PM
but if it helps people
So the thing is that if you go to the segment in ida pro you see that there are an pattern.
IMPORTANT
This pattern goes for all files.
the keys in exampel.
appldr keys are located in the first yellow area just after the blue.
and there in the start of the area, are also some word like
xmmword_14820 the 1480 bit can change, just under those xmmwords the keys can be located.
in hex
ohh forgot the keys are locate twize. in every loader. iv and pup are seperated once, and together once. side by side .
that you wouldent find in the wiki.

Lead to more piracy? 95% of games is already playable for us on the current cfw 3.55 and I DOUBT newer ps3's that uses newer keysets for lv0 or whatnot can use this... It allows us to use our machines as bluray again though, and everything good. And for the newest games. The raise in piracy will be minimal, and it probably won't be larger than the raised amount of sales of those games by those that can now play them.. Nope.jpg.

I'm surprised my index finger is still attached to my hand after hitting F5 for so long.
I'm beginning to think that when something is leaked and a dev plays the whole "ooooh we didn't want this to be released because of piracy", that they're perhaps talking out of their bumhole and are hoping that in the event of Sony finding them, they can have it as evidence that they didn't leak it or intend for it to be leaked and refer to them posting these posts. Because its happening way too often. Every leak..."we didnt want this out there because of piracy"..."we are very angry". Piracy is inevitable. I'm surprised these guys are devs and they don't get that. I'm not saying that I support piracy, but thinking that it is something that can be controlled is being naive.

1. You're a decent and socially intelligent guy. (that sounds weird)
2. You assume the best in people.
3. You assume having qualities of 1.\2. are a needed skill in the art of being an extremely skilled hacker.
...I think we've all learned a lot about the ethos of the modern day hacker as a collective from the PS3 scene over the past 2.5 years. Not all of it is "destroy capitalism and save the world", but instead "We love general Franco"....
Thinking about it....it kinda makes sense

There are people that know how to blow the ps3 wide open but their hacking spirit is non existent. Sometimes I forget that alot of devs don't care about the scene. I will say though, that there are devs that have the qualities mentioned in 1 and 2 and if we had more like them I wouldn't be sitting in front of my pc half falling asleep not wanting to leave this thread. Because the ps3 would be wide open by now

pre-FW3.60 PS3's, aka. the downgradeable ones, they are downgradeable due to the fact that they have the old hackable lv0 and metaloader.
Sony patched the security flaw by adding lv0.2 and metaloader.2, and those use a different keyset, than the one released today. the keyset released today is for the lv0, aka. for the old machines and not for the new.
However, this might either lure new developers to the scene - or - it might somehow help the hacking people in their hacking endavours in terms of hacking lv0.2. Although I think the only one that will now turn their eyes more intensely on the lv0.2 is the DRM people, as this is now the place in the PS3 scene they can earn money. At least for now, and unless they do like Cobra and develop/explores some new functions and develop their own firmware with those features for the already hacked platform.

Clarify something for me. Ive got a pre 3.60 slim with 4.25 OFW. Am i screwed? Is there a soft downgrade available or do I still need E3? I heard something about safemode downgrade. Im so confused right now.

The 4.21 CFW has the 3.55 keys in it, Thats why you need 3.55 to install it.
I want to make the process easier, + I could attempt resigning some of the Homebrew.
10-22-2012
08:17 PM
Guys again LV0 keys are static AND work on every LV0 also for the future. To time it looks like that sony can't recover from that cause they can't update your bootldr.
For games just use other keys then 3.55 to sign them. But all this is just a fwe hourts old so site back, relaxe and wait for new stuff that for sure will come.

I registered here just to ask these questions.. if you can post a link or some good keywords so that I can read up on your answer. A simple yes or no, while appreciated, isn't very helpful.
1) Will the Lv0 keys allow RSOD to be fixed on consoles running >3.55OFW?
2) Will the Lv0 keys allow hardwareless downgrades from >3.55OFW? Yes, I know that it isn't possible now, and I know that some consoles have Lz0.2, so they are untouched by these keys, I'm wondering if the keys make the downgrade theoretically possible.

It's like that:
Syscon send's ConfigRing to Cell >> Cell boot up with this ConfigRing >> Cell use ConfigRing to decrypt bootloader >> bootloader use ConfigRing to decrypt LV0 and run it >> yada yada yada
So Sony can't change your PCK which even isn't a key in first front. It's a value that will be used to calculate your PCK. After calculating your PCK the console decrypt bootloader and so on.
So you see there are a few thing's that sony only can change with a new hardware revision and not truth a update. This means for now LV0 static keys CAN NOT be changed afterwards. Same goes for PCK, Bootloader, Metloader.
The thing with decrypted bootloader:
You guys forget that we have PCK_0, PCK_1 and so on. Well the so called EID_Master-Key is then our PCK_0 but the mess with that is....Bootloader is not encrypted with PCK_0.
It is encrypted with the first derivation of this value that will be used to calculate your PCK and that's Per Console Factory Key.
Per Console Factory Key is then used to derivate PCK_0.
Till now there is no way to dump or get hands on the Per Console Factory Key.

metldr Gets changed all the time, Like with 3.41 and 3.55
LVL0 Can be changed along with LVL1 - Metldr and anything else.
10-22-2012
10:44 PM
metldr can NOT be changed !! You want proof ?? Do a checksum now then update to higher fw and use your flasher to do a dump and do a checksum on metldr again. You will see it's the same checksum. So how could something be changed and still have the same checksum ?? Do your homework Dude. Metldr can only be changed from factory. There for new cons and cons with 3.56 Fw from factory have a metldr_v2. this is happen in factory just like with bootldr NOT with a update.
And i never sayed that LV0 can't be changed i sayed LV0 static keys can not be changed.
10-22-2012
10:52 PM
i knew there was a reason for me holding out for 2 freaking years with 3.55. I will be glad to actually be able to purchase games again. I may not buy them all, but i sure as hell will buy more then i have in the last 2 years.
Regardless of intent thanks to all the devs that do what they do.

That's a nice pic and i know that stuff but before you go into a war and don't know what you trow on some one:
This img shows that sony have changed the boot order. NOT that metldr was updated.
As i sayed don't talk nonsense take your metldr from eg. 3.41 do a cheksum test and save the value. Update your con to 3.55 and again dump your flash take metldr and do a cheksum test. Then come back here and post the values to finally diss me.
Otherwise please stop that. I know what im talking.
ps. to your pm. Why i shal tell you what i have contributed to the scene ?
Do that change the fact what im telling you?

I honestly don't have time to read all 24 pages I seriously would've since I haven't stopped by in months and managed to see THIS on the front page(I had to change my pants twice already) but I have things to do at the moment. I'll keep the page up though.
So let me make this brief.
As someone who originally softmodded his ps3 to 3.55(back when it was first CFWable), then upgraded at some point(back in...march?), would I be able to use CFW that will be provided as soon as it comes out? Or will I have to downgrade with hardware?(bleh) I'm on 4.25 right now and I hear I shouldn't update tomorrow since theres a new OFW coming.

Sorry for asking stupid questions, you mention that if the private key was known there might be a way to do a software downgrade, is this actually doable, i'm not a tech expert in this field sadly, i know i'm on a 4.xx firmware but my PS3 hasn't been used in a few months so i assume its 4.21, its an older NAND based phat so its downgradable quite a bit from my understanding and i have previously used a 3.55 MFW on here, do i have any software based options or am i likely to see anything software based as most flashers require soldering and thats not something that i, or anybody i trust enough, have the skills to do.
10-23-2012

Hmmm this is interesting, time to get back to reading the rest of the pages.
10-23-2012
03:41 AM
lv0 keys are static for every firmware there is except when you update bootldr at factory, that means these are good for 3.55, 3.56, ... until 4.30 too. you NEED to update bootldr at factory or the keys will STILL work.
10-23-2012
04:13 AM
That also means, If they would want to change lv0 key, they would have ( in new firmwares ) to block off any consoles pre 3.55.. which I think Sony won't do ever.

We need to got to the appldr if we want to resign 4.21+ eboots for good old 3.55.
Also this is open declaration of war with Sony since we can access PSN while running homebrew (hacking etc.) and that what they don't want the most so I guess heavy counter measures are coming.

why not just wait it out and then resign all the new eboots for 3.55 users?
the missing appldr key can be found with the help of the new lv0 key, right?
I am not going to update to any other firmware when there are bricks reported (even from never downgraded consoles like mine).

Because i have a console that will happily accept a OFW of a really low level, its an old NAND based phat, but i dont have a hardware flasher as it requires opening the console and soldering parts on, not really my area, will these keys open the chances of there being a software downgrade option or am i still stuck?

10-23-2012
07:14 AM
you can update from 3.55 to 4.25CFW because 3.55 uses the old validation method which has been fixed in 3.60..
there's no exploit found eversince then to sign our own pup's and therefor not possible for us to install CFW's above 3.60 OFW's
10-23-2012

too many noob questions it must be a thread for them!!
now any fw can be hacked and we can have psn all time but the probleme is sony will start the ban , i wonder if we can spoof console id too remain anonym

kakarotoks tweet today:
Since the LV0 keys have now been leaked, I believe I can now share this info with you, to help out those who are trying to build their own 4.x CFW :
The NPDRM ECDSA signature in the SELF footer is checked by lv2. It first asks appldr to tell it whether or not the signature is to be checked, and appldr will only set the flag if the SELF is a NPDRM with key revision from 3.56+ (the ones without private keys). This means that the SELF files signed with the new 3.56+ keys still don't have their ecdsa checked (probably to speed up file loading).
If appldr says the ecdsa signature must be checked, then lv2 will verify it itself, and return an error if it's not correct. There are many ways to patch this check out.
1 - Patch out the check for the key revision in appldr
2 - Patch out the "set flag to 1" in appldr if the key revision is < 0xB
3 - Patch out the code in lv2 that stores the result from appldr
4 - Patch out the actual sigcheck function from lv2.
5 - Ignore the result of the ecdsa from lv2.
Here is one of the patches (the 4th one, patching out the check function from lv2) :
In memory 0x800000000005A2A8, which corresponds to offset 0x6a2a8 in lv2_kernel.elf, replace :
e9 22 99 90 7c 08 02 a6
With :
38 60 00 00 4e 80 00 20
This is for the 4.21 kernel (that was the latest one when I investigated this), I will leave it as an exercise to the reader to find the right offsets for the 4.25 and upcoming 4.30 kernel files.
And here's another bit of info... in 4.21 lv2, at memory address 0x800000000005AA98 (you figure out the file offset yourself), that's where lv2 loads the 'check_signature_flag' result from appldr, so if you prefer implementing method 3 above, just replace the 'ld %r0, flag_result_from_appldr' by 'ld %r0, 0' and you got another method of patching it out. Either solutions should work just the same though.
Enjoy homebrew back on 4.x CFW....
p.s: Thanks to flatz and glu0n who helped reversed this bit of info.

01:21 PM
hi friends:
i have some confusion, can somebody help me understand following
when we say metldr key (i.e. the key that was released by geohot), is this key used to decrypt metldr or it's the key to decrypt the loaders loaded by metldr i.e. appldr, isoldr etc.
similarly the recently released lv0 key, is it the key to decrypt lv0 or the loaders loaded by lv0
10-23-2012
02:40 PM
i found this :

for example the real 3.60 keys are:
[appldr]
type=SELF

version=0003006000000000
self_type=APP
erk=A5E51AD8F32FFBDE808972ACEE46397F2D3FE6BC823C8218EF875EE3A9B0584F

but these keys are diffirent in 4.25 Appldr
here :
[appldr]
type=SELF
revision=0010

self_type=APP

the first keys can decrypt 3.60 eboots but the 2nd cant
10-23-2012
02:56 PM
yes i have the exact same problem.
Also i did the appldr from 3.60.
The pup matches but the known IV is nowhere to be found.

I encountered the same thing when I looked last night.
Either the way key tables work has changed, or there's some form of obfuscation/encryption on the ERK/RIV, but for some reason not on the PUB or the curve type. This is just a couple thoughts I had on it, (from my recollection) key tables used to be repeated twice, and were identical, now there is some repetition, but it doesn't seem to match the old format. Also, there are still two files in lv0 I can't decrypt. There's appldr, isoldr, lv2 lv2ldr(unless I made a mistake, this seems to be there in twice, one version 161KB, and the other 345KB. But they are identical when decrypted). Perhaps these two files we can't decrypt (1.37KB, and 1.12KB) contain what we need.

Anyway, we must reverse the code in appldr.. maybe is only obfuscated with some xor or addition.
10-23-2012
04:20 PM
[MENTION=239646]diesel701[/MENTION] maybe you can ask naehrwert creator of scetool about the use of the erk and iv keys then apply to what we have
i think that the only key to decrypt a self is to have the public key and the way that self is decrypted depend on those iv and erk.

What you named a revision is actually a curve type.
@topic
On your place, I would grab a SPU dissassembler and read thru the code to understand the process under the crypted bytes, I doubt they highly obfuscated it that deep level.

By the way out of the topic, are there precompiled spu processors for ida out there? Couldnt find any and compiling it from scratch & sdk is beyond my nerves and time -_-.

i decrypted 4.25 lv0 and its 0.9 mb size
the first 0.5mb of my lv0.elf is identical to your file
BTW i have a program called Lv0 assault v1.1 released year ago ,i gave it a file with lv0 keys for fun but he cant find the keys lol

05:03 PM
I have allready extracted the loaders from the lv0.
on page 2 there is the full lv0 decrypted.
on 5 the lv0 isolated and the loaders extracted.
the loaders inside the lv0 is signed with keys and therefor have to be extarcted and decrypted

So does any of this mean a CFW will be coming out for something over 3.55 anytime soon? Cuz I got a 3k model and can't downgrade to 3.55 X_x
10-24-2012
01:41 AM
Our consoles come with a new bootldr (bootldr2) and new lv0 (lv0.2) which are more secure and have different keys than the previous bootldr and lv0 revisions.
Our lv0 keys have not been leaked/released, so there is no CFW insight for us.
10-24-2012
01:53 AM
So let's hypothetically say a new CFW came out for 4.30. Would people with 3k models (Or any other 'unhackable' modes) be able to install that CFW?

10-24-2012

Oh, and whatever obfuscation/encryption they use on the keys is the same between 4.25, and 4.30.
10-24-2012
02:43 AM
10-24-2012
02:47 AM
4.30 was already ready for release by the time this lv0 stuff happened. It is the next firmware update that things will probably get a little hectic.
10-24-2012

But i don't even think they care enough anymore since they are focusing on the future ps4.

I do not like saying Sony can't do anything about a hack. We were proven pretty wrong last time.
10-24-2012

It's just that i don't think they will invest too much time/money this time just to shut down the few cfw users(globally speaking) that still remain unless we find a way to hack models 2500+.

So please tell me.

I have my ps3 4.25 right now, not flashed like i said, it's clean, original.
I need to do nothing ? i mean, i just have to avoid the 4.30 & wait for what you call "key" ?
And how you guys put the these keys into the PS3, is there any tutorial or something ? thanks and yes i know i'm noob
10-24-2012
07:04 AM
you can't get these keys in your ps3 :P
and if you can downgrade your console to 3.55 ( sad, but still required ), then you can run CFW 4.xx.. if not, then well.. wait till they found the key, or an exploit to bypass the checks..
only time will tell mate.. but if you can't downgrade, then simply forget it and keep on waiting
10-24-2012
07:05 AM
Okay, so if you have à PS3 2K model and Youre on OFW 4.25 should you wait for CFW 4.30 Or may you just update to OFW 4.30?

Rule no 1: you need to have 3.55 on your machine.
If you have a 3.60 machine from factory, then you cant even downgrade it to be a 3.55 machine.

Actually we have broken the chain of trust best possible place. Wouldn't it be possible to manipulate the decrypted .ELF after it has been loaded to memory? That way, we could do a chain of code-caves ( dunno if there is such thing, refering to my old know. from pc :D ) which would do necessary code changes each boot. All with one , modified lv0.

How about that , devs?

Hey, i finished reading all the posts , i have the same ps3 model of darkwolf23 , a Slim CECH 2504A 320GB 3.60 from factory , i already know that at the moment isnt possible to hack.. what is missing to this consoles can be hacked?
PS: sorry for the bad english, im portuguese .

Phat on 4.21 OFW :-( - how tricky is the soldering for a progskeet? Modded my original XBox back in the day, but that had a qsd and decent sized targets. I'm guessing it's much trickier nowadays?

Does this mean keys may come soon for CECH-3XXX/4XXX too? I've been itching to get CFW on my slim for homebrew

So does this mean rogero or any other well known dev can take out a 4.30 cfw in the near future for 3.55 users dam thats gonna get the exitment back in the seen
Didnt failoverflow state they can update lv0 keys
If so sony can change the keys cant they or am i missing something here

One thing i found out thats interesting.
the lv0 had 6 files inside.
3 that could be decrypted = appldr/isoldr/lv2ldr.
3 that couldent .
But if you look in hex you would notice that the 3 uknown files is simply headers.
I also noticed in the rest of the lv0 files there are encrypted hex sections.
So my guts says that you should try match the headers with some of the encrypted data/hex there you would proberly find the missing lv1ldr. if you succeed
10-25-2012

So is it possible to jailbreak from 4.25 firmware or you need 3.55?

"highest hackable firmware: 3.55".
Ok it wasn't necessary to ask, anyway i understand how it works thanks to previous posts, I need to downgrade to 3.55 and then upgrade it to latest available CWF (4.21).

My problem is that people don't use search functions and google.
Also the fact that mainstream sites completely do not understand what the hell is happening in the scene and for who lv0 is really beneficial at this point spreading misinformation amongst people who recently or JUST bought PS3.
They all went "OMG DA PS3 CAN NOW PLAY GAMECUBE GAMES AND YOU CAN PIRATE EVERYTHING!!@#!#!@!".

I checked the lv0 from 3.55 they dont have these header files.
They proberly got some thing to do with decrypting the 3 above files so the iv erk wont show obfuscated

and i dont know if you notices this pastie from naeworth.
maybe something to do with it, also since the sequnze is about iv and erk
http://pastie.org/5089738
Also i extracted all the files from the lv0 Rogero you send no lv1ldr inside there either same files as the rest off the lv0.
so really wanna know how you extracted the lv1ldr
10-25-2012
10:15 AM
you can extract with hexeditor. just search in decrypted lv0 for SCE and select 1st block upto next SCE
10-25-2012

But the lv1ldr is not one off the loaders from the rogeros lv0. so wanna know where he found it then.

You then place the key into the BD drive and power it on.
You PS3 now allows you personally to fly.
I'm just messing.... or am I
(They mean nothing to anyone but devs, so sit back and relax

After that I will send you the lv0 key.
Then you open up your PS3 and you will see a huge keyhole.
It's really big with neon-red light saying "INSERT lv0 KEY HERE".
You enter the key and turn it.
The PS3 will beep and you will hear "CONGRATULATIONS".

You can only remedy this by checking if your Ps3 can be downgraded back to 3.55 (use MINVERCHK in my sig below)
If it says you can get to 3.55, then you will need to buy a hardware flasher and FSM dongle to downgrade your console.
Once downgraded and dehashed, you can do what you want.

10-27-2012
07:08 AM
I have been looking at the pastie too. and translate the pastie into an openssl command
test command
that is the 48 hex bytes of the erk+riv (the scrampled one)
then in the command -K 8EACAB1950A79147DB391A88FCF9DE1B097C5667DBB6F6E1FEAA4980AB4E7E1B -iv ACA5B101EC4B9497691632917E555472 is where you put you test erk and iv
if it decrypts right the decall.bin would match the one you put in the all.bin
its an little time comsuming to insert all the hex.
and dont know but got an hunch that it could be DEADBEEF [MENTION=122273]evilsperm[/MENTION]
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
@ redcfw
that is some off the metadata that is in every signed file by sony eboots etc. but not in the appldr from 3.55-
infact it shouldent be in any decrypted file.
so got some thing with the keys.
buy the way i allready tried these keys myself, didnt work you have to reverse it longer back.
Thats why i use the openssl to test.
10-27-2012
10:45 AM
redcfw, have you tested it? I tested with lv2ldr and it didn't seem to work.
10-27-2012
11:13 AM
ive found the same thing, the 1st and the 3rd key seems like it decrypts the erks,
the 2nd and 4th keys decrypt the rivs
im still trying to confirm its aes, and also the CypherMode, now if that is a sha1 hash in redcfw's post, im inclined to think its aesctr,
for instance retail pkg's use aesctr

now that i look at more at redcfw's post,
is ch73 the resulting hmac?, looks good recfw, thank you
10-27-2012
12:49 PM
According to recfw's code, hmac is in ch73 (which was [u8 ch73[] = { 0x40, 0x00, 0x30, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }; //?? i dont get it yet] before he edited his post) and result stored in
u8 ch73shErk[0x10] and ch73shIv[0x10];
Tried with lv2ldr, result is 3da56b9b349048917aa86511f9651f122ac5a6756b6899fc828b305b5cd0ddda88d4d3a54efaa744e2fee5de543da0d7

yeah, we need them priv keys, recent PS3MFW key pack, old stuff and maybe some new? it's a mess to sort and nothing new? except for the unknow "xxx.app.keys"
it also includes a lv1.self, supposed to be decrypted from that pack? then we need that lv1-priv-356 key and i doubt its in this pack
using cygwin to decrypt it gives "app-priv-370" error
decrypt the same file using scetool, then its[*] Using keyset [appldr 0x0001 03.15]..and decrypts....need to try something here
did they make a mistake there on 370??! something come to mind about 370 failure or something...
anyway,
they are sitting on the damn priv keys, so we can't make a CFW on our own for now or the key dumps are on purpose a mess to begin with, it easely discourage one from trying to find out..time consuming a bit..lol
and for those sitting on it with that fat ass.....PB etc...f*ck you for being a d*ck and thinking ur the man, oh look someone pasted me the full pack, look ma i can decrypt eboots...

I've got a few questions. Any answers/help will be appreciated.
I am on a PS3 (3k) and have only had for 3 weeks. I understand that I am out of luck and am not expecting an answer on how to install CFW or downgrade. Just looking to understand how the PS3 works.
From what I've read, the older PS3s had an exploit and you've managed to install a CFW on any machine that originally shipped with OFW 3.55 or lower.
To Summarize:
1) Machines that have OFW 3.55 (or lower) can have CFW installed.
2) Machines that originally came with FW 3.55 (or lower) but were upgraded to OFW 3.x or 4.x can be downgraded with hardware flashers.
3) The recent lv0 keys leak lays the PS3 bare open. Despite this the the only fortunate ones that benefit from the leak are the ones with CFW already installed.
Now, I've read Marcan's explanation of what the lv0 leak means to the development community. (Q1) What I fail to understand is if the PS3's highest (or lowest depending on how you look at it) level of security has been compromised why does one have to wait for another exploit to have CFW installed on units that originally shipped with FW > 3.55 ?
(Q2)Also, how does creating CFW 4.x help users who already have CFW 3.X (I may be wrong, but I am guessing access to PSN depends on a different set of keys and not lv0 and that sony can change the keys with every update)?
Any responses would be appreciated. I've read up a little on PS3 and I am asking these questions as a doubt, if you believe that the question(s) have already been asked then just ignore the post rather than post sarcastic responses.
Thanks again.

even though we can decrypt the firmware that does not mean it can be installed.
its like seeing something versus touching something, the private key for 3.56+ is still private. if you decrypt the firmware pup and patch in the necessary security bypass it works fine but on from an exploitable firmware.
3.56+ has no security flaw to install an unsigned (or beta) pkg.
the only hope is that someone dumps the fw and converts to DEX. thats all i can think of. there may be some holes in the newer fw and if someone looks hard enough they will find it, but im doubtful.
and cfw 4.30 doesn't benefit much, im staying on rebug 3.55, almost every game now has a patch out there. no need to upgrade. if the firmware is decrypted then vsh.self is available and the psn login info will be uncovered (meaning ****psn will work).
10-30-2012
07:27 AM
Once a new door is found to open the PS3, then you can do what you want.
(A2) It doesn't really benefit 3.55 CFW users, it just makes it easier to pirate without patching files. From the newest decrypted vsh.self we can have PSN on 3.55, we get game patches any way from unSANE and DUPLEX, so I see no need to update IMHO.
Sony moved everything around last time, whats to say they dont do that again and re-encapsulate the keys once more.

They added LV0.2 to the chain (I thought it was software wise, but now I'm guessing its hardware wise??), whats to stop them adding new links to the chain of trust?
I.E: Bootldr > LV0 > LV0.2 > LVX.X > then isoldrs/appldr/lv2ldr/lv1ldr 's within those?

You obviously know jack **** about it : LV0.2 is only used for newer PS3, that came with 3.56+ out of the box. Old ps3 with 3.55- from factory don't use lv0.2... They can obviously add any loader they want within the chain of trust after lv0, but if we can decrypt lv0 then we can easily get the keys to decrypt any loader after that...

I've a question. Why can't we install a custom firmware on a 3.56+ console?
With these keys we can decrypt and rencrypt the Lv0.self and lv1.self (and other ldrs).
So we can get (and someone have already done) the keys for selfs and sprx, for decrypt modules. We can rencrypt them with private keys (3.55 only) and repkg all to have a PUP.
What is the problem with 3.56+ firmware?

appldr of 4.31 decrypted:

Like the other ones, ERK and IV are encrypted

EDIT: 4.31 PUP -- http://dus01.ps3.update.playstation....d/PS3UPDAT.PUP

A. Don't accept our signed pups.
B. Don't accept lv0, boot boot from lv0.2 instead.
Must be a good reason why we can't sign a pup for properly software downgrading of an old console. Maybe they changed something in the pups later on. Or something not yet understood?
Btw. someone asked the exact same thing on the dev wiki..

Your first (A) has no evidence. I've unpacked and packed an original firmware and the PS3 with 4.25 accepted it. So we can repack PUPs for 3.56+..

Anyway, as we can find keys for appldr in lv0, we can also reverse the code and replicate it for making a good PUP for 3.56+ console... (obvioulsly if there is a check in PUPs..)

3.56+ has a type of "integrity" check.

if I can find the file that contains the marker list ,it will be great, but no luck
10-30-2012
03:37 PM
My understanding is that's simply signed with a private key and we don't have that key to sign it. This talk of "markers" is nonsense and isn't even a valid explanation for a "layman" explanation and just leads to FUD when the person reading your post makes a thread about "finding the markers".
...(Or I could be wrong)

We know that Sony changed something in fw 3.56+
We can reduce our search by comparing the changes with fw 3.55
And than just look into Files that make sense and Reverse them.
I would say this downgrade Protections are all the Same in fw > 3.55
So search will be reduced once again.
This is only a theory from me. I just follow this scene and haven't a ps3.
So i cant say that this is correct or not.

But what i don't understand is, why is it so hard to find it?
I mean there must be a routine which uses hmac to verify the fw
and i thought with lv0 keys its possible to decrypt all.

"i thought with lv0 keys its possible to decrypt all."
I love how everyone keeps thinking this.

I saw a sketch where the bootldr is the root of a tree and followed by lv0 and all other paths in this tree lv0 is their root.
If this is right than what is my mistake?

Decrypt all the firmware is the first part, but we need to reverse the code, understand how it works and this is not sinple and immediate. Sony has obfuscated some keys and part of code to make this process more difficult.
So, in theory with bootldr keys with can make a CFW for 3.56+ for hackable console. Need to work and reverse!

To narrow reversing down, i guess to focus on emer_init.self... (This is recovery menu.)

Its like we have now learned to read and second step is to understand what we read about ofw.
Thank you for your answer.

You need to find an exploit to install CFW on firmware above 3.55.

Hrm... You guys don't get that the uodat.pup is signed with an HMAC key. The 3.55 "keys" that we have are revoked in 3.56+ firmwares and we do not have the HMAC for 3.56. The shortcut is to use 3.55 as the launching firmware. That's cutting corners though, the long way is to find the HMAC.

Bring old threads back from the dead much? Nice way to start with ur first post.
No u can't jailbreak ur ps3. No downgrade possible on that model.
