[TUTORIAL] Motorola Droid PSJB Device Creator - PS3Hax Network

iBlackSunday · 09-09-2010

I worked for around 4 hours on getting this to work on my phone and it took me ages.

You need the Android SDK installed to "C:\AndroidSDK" and have a Motorola Droid with Cyanogen Mod 6 installed and in recovery.

Copy 'boot.img' to the root of your SD card and 'psfreedom.ko' to the 'data' folder on root of your device. If there is no 'data' folder, please create one now.
Boot your device into recovery mode and make sure you have "/system", "/data", "/cache and "/sdcard" under the "Partions Menu" mounted, then go and "Mount USB Storage". Then under command prompt on your PC type "cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools". You should see "C:\AndroidSDK\tools>". If you see this, we can continue with the next step. If you do not see this, you did something wrong during your installation of the SDK.
In command prompt next to "C:\AndroidSDK\tools>", type "adb devices". There should be one line that pops up with a serial number and the word "Recovery" next to the serial number.
Next type "adb shell". While in this 'shell', we can preform a command to replace the stock boot.img with the new one to allow the phone access to insmod, which we will get to.
After typing 'adb shell' and pressing enter you should get '~ #'. At this, you're gonna wanna type 'cd /sdcard'. You should end up with "/sdcard #".
Now type "flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img". If this step was done correctly, it should put you back at "/sdcard #". If it doesn't you did probably put the 'boot.img' in the wrong spot.
Unplug device and restart normally and run the app 'Terminal Emulator'. In Terminal Emulator type "su" then press enter and the '$' symbol should change to a '#'. Then type "insmod /sdcard/data/psfreedom.ko" and hit enter on your phone. If everything was done correctly, you should end up with '#' below the command you just entered.

NOTE: Everytime you reboot your phone, you must redo the Terminal Emulator. (Step 7)

This may take a few tries to get the PS3 into JB mode, but it does work.

EDIT: IF THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU, PLEASE POST AT WHAT PART YOU GOT STUCK ON SO I CAN FIX IT. THIS TUTORIAL IS ALL OFF OF MEMORY BUT SHOULD ALL BE CORRECT.

Ha! You beat me to it man! I was working on a tut for this! Good job! :D

I also believe that if someone wanted to use a different kernel afterward... (Like me!

) You should be able to just make a nand backup of your PS3JB settings and then just advance backup the boot when you want to do it again. This would make it very quick and efficient every time you wanted to use your PS3 in Dev mode. I will try this later and let ya know how it works.

Ok iBlackSunday. I made a backup on my phone of Before PS3JB and After PS3JB. If you advance restore from nandroid the Before boot then you know that your phone will be back to normal, but you do the one from After you don't have to use ADB after the initial phase! This will make using the Droid a lot more convenient!! :D Just thought you might want to add this to the tutorial!

I understand what you are saying but as of right now, I didn't even have to install a new ROM, I was on CM6 and all I had to do was the flashing of the boot image and run the command through Terminal Emulator. It was really damn simple for me, but took me forever to figure it out because the first tutorial was all jacked up, lol.

ZanderCross · 09-09-2010

I just meant it might be useful for others that are using different kernels. I am using a 1.0Ghz kernel when not in "PS3 hack mode" lol. Also, for people that use the USB mass storage on their phones, unless they switch back to the old kernel they were using, they won't be able to use it. That is why I thought my idea might be a good add as an OPTIONAL step for users of different kernels and USB mass storage.

If none of the above apply to you or any user then what you said is fine, but for people that want the above capabilities or their phones "back to normal", my way is quicker than having to use ADB every time you want to reapply the boot.img.

That's all I really meant.

Edit: I didn't install a new rom either. I am using Bugless Beast v0.4 (Thanks Pete!

) with Chevyno1's 2.6.32 Low voltage 1.0Ghz kernel. It should work for most roms.

Sadly, every time that you turn off or reset the ps3 you have to reload the hack, but might I ask why you're resetting it so much? This is not to insult your intelligence, but a serious question, you know you can push the PS button on your controller and get back to the PS3 OS while playing a game right? If you do that instead of resetting it, you won't have to reload the hack every time. Let me know if this helped!

oh i mean ive just been messing with it like i turned it on put back up manager on then i turned it off...then i turned it back on realized i wasnt on anymore so i redid the freedom thing with my phone and backed up a game i got with gamefly then i turned it off...then when i turned it back on to mess with it some more i just thought id make a post to see if thats how it was supposed to be

Oh and another thing is when i try to load games with the backup manager its telling me i need o put a disc in..isnt the point to not have to use a disc?
