Hey everybody, I didn't want to bump an ooold thread but I wanted to ask something that seems to be a common problem.

I tried to use PS3Jig app for PSP that puts PS3 on Service Mode.
I'm on 5.00 M33-6 PSP-1003 and I have a PS3 (CEHCHH01) on 3.55 Kmeaw (not spoofed) and this is what I did:

1. Put the app on PSP and boot it from XMB.
2. PSP comes up normally with the USB related messages, all seem to work fine.
3. I power on my PS3 from the I/O switch on the back and I do the fast known jailbreak trick of Power - Eject buttons.
4. PSP comes up with all successful messages and that it's ''Done.'' but PS3 instead of shutting down, it just boots normally on Retail mode.

Can somebody please help me with that?
I searched around the net and I found out many people have the same issue. Some say say something that you need to keep pressing the power button till you hear a beep (?) or something but its way too unclear/doesnt make sense at all atleast on the way it's formed as a phrase.

Also is there any other way to enter Service/Factory Mode without a jailbreak device?

Thanx!

I'm also interested in knowing a way to do this without a PSP, as I don't have onoe.

There's this but I have zero clue how to do that.
Also I need a tutorial how I can put Ubuntu 11.04 on an external drive, It's kind of tricky I heard.

I dunno about Ubuntu, but putting Debian on an external drive is rather easy, and booting Red Ribbon from a live CD works easy as well. I believe Ubuntu also have a Ps3 Live Cd, but I am not sure.

They dropped support shortly after Sony removing the OtherOS support, even thought there are PPC64 live cd builds around, but I have no clue how to use them.

BTW there must be an app or somebody could make a simple app that would make the challenge command to boot on the next reboot on factory mode.
Somebody could use the source code of the PS3Jig as a reference, I guess it would be easier.

you can still use LiveCd's, at least the one I have (red Ribbon) you load it via Petitboot. I found the tutorial once before on the Gitbrew Wiki, it was really just a matter of installing 3 or 4 pkg files and rebooting. have a look under there linux and otheros++ sections.


Back to the link you posted earlier, it tells of these files, but do you have any idea on how to get the files and/or more info on the subject? Like how then to exit service mode?

My only interest in Other OS is Ubuntu 11.04 (or newer) or OSX Tiger/Leopard (which is not yet possible). If you can link me to a way to install them on an external drive I'd love you!

As for the issue with Service Mode you can exit it using a USB stick containing Lv2diag.self. That's all.

This http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=21708 Should tell you what you need to know. Its not same one I used but it is more or less the same.

And in regards to the files needed in the link you posted, any idea where to get them and any more info on it?

Hope that link helps.

That's 10.10, there is an official build for PS3 on this, but 11.04 is not the same, on top of the fact that there's no build from the official team, it has some issues that need to be dealt that the team was dealing with them before the build was out and now people need to deal them manually, I heard people having a real marathon to install it and after having no issues. Also I think many will agree that anything pre-11.04 seems way too outdated...

Also this is the file:
Lv2diag.self

For the Little I use Linux for the Debian distro and/or Red Ribbon work fine for me. Hopefully what you wish to install will be available and work soon. Also thanks for the file link.
