lol, true, true... We have some of the Best intelligent minds on our side.
BTW did you know that Geohot was sued into arbitration oblivion by Sony?
He signed an agreement stating he would not hack a single Sony device ever again
or face huge monetary fines for each and every infraction.
GeoHot signed it and went on to say he would never own another Sony device...

So it should go without saying that we wont ever see him working on the PS3 again.
Also Geohot wasn't interested in completely opening up the console.
He wanted to lock it down for homebrew use only, using Sony's own encryption to do it.
That's the real reason for his low popularity with fans of the scene.

If you want a hero look at Graf_Chokolo.
Sony took all his stuff, twice, and put him in a deep dark hole.
Anyone who defies Sony from then on is a Hero.

It blows my mind that after ALL the clarification on this matter, people still don't understand what it means.

Yea i couldn't agree more..

This will not lead to a CFW anytime soon... well not by itself..
There are still steps (difficult steps) from what i have understood..

Whoever front paged seem to be more excited then to go over the facts...(maybe im wrong?)

For the newb what this does is basically replace the current function JB2 aka TrueBlue!

Yes it has the potential but from what i understand its not there yet, or even close at this point (maybe im wrong, if so just prove me wrong)

For those wondering or not sure if you should buy the JB2/TrueBlue – THIS news story is worth the wait before investing in the device/bluray burner.

With these comments and especially before the update below.. but even with the update it is very misleading to the newbs.. Makes this thing sound it is weeks away when its more like months or longer.. (just my own speculation there on the timetable)

Update: Please understand that this method is for dumping per_console_key_1, and per_console_key_n. In order to get CFW we need to dump per_console_key_0.

Halloween is early, we got the Treat and Sony got the Trick.

[jatin notani]

what exactly we need to do to run 3.6x+ games on 3.55cfw?

[CrystalWolf]

The isoldr or the appldr keys I think. That's what got the games that required 3.55 firmware to run on 3.41 firmware back in the old days of the jailbreak with dongle usage.

Sounds like great news.

but lets say they do manage to successfully dump the key 0. Would sony then still be able to somehow create a newer FW update to block us, like they currently can or is the console fully hacked? I'm just a bit sceptic that although this news is exciting, sony may find a newer method to stop hackers.

To answer your question, No Sony cant fix this through FW updates but they can fix it through Hardware revisions,

However this doesn't give us the key we actually need or get us much closer too it, i think more likely an open source version of "true blue / jb2" is going to be out best solution for a while

In order for everyone to get cfw on any ps3 and firmware we need the root keys not the console keys.

Console keys will do the same but then everyone will have to be able to dump and decrypt their own console keys and then make their own cfw. It's the first part that's the problem, how to get the dump; I'm pretty sure someone already has a diy cfw builder made.
