So what's the next thing???
ok so first ppl need to dumpt there OWN root key,
the use the latest ofw, say 3.72, and use MFW to merge in the root key
install the cfw you made, and bam, you would enjoy psn and NEW games,

can this be done allready, or do we have to wait for something??

Don't want to ruin the mood but... as far as I've read, bootldr is encrypted with TWO keys, the root key (obtainable with this method) and a static key (not obtainable with this method, and even harder if not impossible to obtain), and even with the root key, you still can't do anything since you don't have the second key?

Besides, obtaining the root key was done a while ago, we just didn't have ready-to-use tools released to the public.

I would love to be proven wrong though :P

you use use the root key to fully decpted the fw eg 3.73 ofw then u sign it with the 3,55 keys then you got cfw 3.73 hence why u need to be on cfw to get your root key in the 1st place so you ps3 will accect the new fw " thats the short version too drunk to tell u the inside and out on the other stuff that need to be sorted 1st to get mutiman etc working but you catch my dirft

To get new versions of CFW someone would get the 3.60+ keys from their root, key, then decrypt the latest firmware.pup then resign them with the 3.55 keys so that those of us on 3.55 could upgrade to a later version.

It's highly unlikely anyone will bother going through that much work considering they could just get the public keys to decrypt 3.60+ eboots, modify them and play it on existing 3.55 firmware like 3.41 CFW. Then we would still be able to downgrade an QA flag freely.

3.55 CFW could get back on PSN if they used to public keys to get the new XI-passphrase but I think most devs would refrain from doing that considering it would draw the evil crab's sight even faster.

In short it means that you'd still need a PS3 on <=3.55 or a hardware flasher. Good luck to anyone in their endeavour finding their root key!

Well git brew never actually released what the exploit was that they were working on. The steps to get the per console key are all there (I believe), you just have to apply them by doing some work on your end. I am by no means a dev though, but im sure one of the devs frequenting this board or others will do it and let us know how to as well.

I realize it's probably too early to tell, but theoretically, could this help restore access to PSN? If our CFW matched the latest OFW, I assume we could connect to PSN, but what's stopping Sony from detecting and swiftly banning?

[Narcarsiss]

not sure if i missed anything here but do they want me to give them my consol keys? im happy to do it but i didnot quite understand how.

[Owanef]

what about the people that are on ofw 3.65 or ofw 3.6x and 3.7x.
HOW IN THE WORLD WOULD WE FIND OUR ROOT KEYS??????
