PS3 Service Mode JIG Files Leaked!

With all the service mode talk, and attempts how to get the PS3 into this mode, a unnamed hacker recently leaked the PS3 JIG Setup files.

The setup folder is actually pretty useless without the proper related software but nevertheless its something new and gives us another opportunity to better understand the PS3.

Break down of what each file is:

Lv2diag.self: crashes on a Debug console, likely used for lv2 diagnostics.

PS3UPDAT.PUP: a very tiny updater PUP, enough for just a 'base' system. It doesn't run on any system the resident PS3 Devs currently have access to.

UPDATER_LOG.TXT: simply a service mode updater log.

Below is a example of a JIG-OS Updater process log file, created by installing a special PUP file with service tools (used by Sony Repair stations).

Code:

Unfortunately the JIG files are obviously illegal so we will not be providing a download link to the files.

info true --> i can confirm that the files are real

so the files are really the recovery ones, ahhh i wuvs the new kid (can we not call him by his ps3hax account name or something) so do you think we can do something with these files?

Has the related software been leaked? ;)

a bit off topic dont yeah think.

Its the same one xjeremchaosX posted...

Attention

Create your own thread for this. Don't spam this one

IT WONT LET ME I TRYED NEOSABIN

aw, maybe i can look for another way in irc. just like psp i guess, it looks like it sets up new partitions on its flash so that the ps3 can be link in that location. This can also lead to cwf, that is just a hinch. Thanks hope to see further developments soon.

Reverse Engineering this is hard, Gets you back to AND, OR, NAND gates.

Hey, yea i actually got the files a few days ago but didnt want to post anything until i knew for sure because my ps3 is off to sony right now.... Im glad their the real deal! Thats good news for everyone.

Ill let you all know if i get anything else.

How its done....
Its been known for a while but i figured it couldnt hurt.

The PS3 is powered off, and a special USB dongle, known as the Jig, is connected. The PS3 is then turned on, and then off, once it has detected the Jig.

After this occurs, the PS3 is then turned back on, into "Service" Mode. From here, the PS3 is re-flashed using a Firmware Update on a USB stick, specifically designed to only install from the Service Mode. Once the PS3 is re-flashed with the software, it is then used in conjunction with a PC running customized software, specifically the DEX.exe and CEX.exe's.

There are a multitude of special PS3 firmwares, basically three major ones. The first is a Core System, followed by the Service System, then finishing it off with the Final Software.. usually Retail.

From the CEX/DEX PC side software, just about anything can be done: Copying, transfer and resigning of box-specific items like PSN games, user profiles, etc.

Furthermore, the systems can be re-flashed to any software version as well. The system's keys can also be "rearranged", such as the marrying of the PS3's BD-ROM Drive (or controller) with the mainboard.

TO PIRATE: The Person who leaked the files goes by the nickname of HACKERPOINTER.
