Fail0verfl0w tools were the path!

Can I just point out that this is not your per-console root key. This is the key that does however, encrypt many per-console specific things within your console. It is not new news, it has been publicly known for a while.

The root key is what we need, it would enable us to decrypt/encrypt bootldr/metldr breaking the chain of trust at the very topmost point, completely breaking the PS3's security model.

It is likely that the EID key is generated from the root key, It is likely that this would be a one-way irreversible hash though.

there is some smart people in the scene but i think this might just be something they aren't quiet capable of yet :\

Damnit....god damnit...

I can't believe this. I've been waiting almost a year now for CFW because my bluray lens had failed. I joined this site this month with several questions about E3 flasher hoping that I could finally play without waiting 30 tries before the disc was read. Decided not to get it.

Then, since it seemed no CFW was in sight according to most people I asked, I finally caved and ordered the lens last week.

And JUST TODAY I installed it...hours later, this news.

Meh, still happy.

Question though: If this turns out to be true, does it mean we can "dual boot" as in switch from OFW to CFW to play backups and switch again to OFW to play online? If so, then I'm not at all mad about buying the lens.

I love messing with hardware on anything, even though I know little of it. It's fun and you learn many things...installing that lens and watching the disc being read in 1 second was the best feeling ever.

I completely agree with you.

You'll want that laser for something eventually. Not a total waste.
Also, there's still A LOT of work to be done here. Don't expect some magical CFW to appear out of nowhere.

Dual booting CFW and OFW has been possible for quite awhile. There's NOR/NAND methods in doing so, and also HDD swap methods. There's plenty of literature on this here.

excuse me? Geohot was a waste of space huh? he's done more for this scene than you or i put together.

he absolutely helped open the doors.
its why our apps work when we go back to 3.55 official, his signing software makes sure of it.
those keys may be blacklisted now for 3.56+, but he still gave more than most ever will.

before that, you had to have a dongle to run any unsigned code.

So they will eventually be able to dump whatever keys onyS creates now and forever?

Geotit did noting new Kakarotoks released the First PS3 CFW and in both the keys were acquired using Fail0verfl0w tools.

So the real hero was failoverflow team.
