No, wise-ass. For a person who doesn't know the technical terms behind PS3 it is too confusing. I can't find an explicit answer where do we go from here. Besides, a few people back in the comments said that this may not lead to anything new since new FW don't use metldr anymore. So I'm confused and I would like to have an idea where are we going with this from now on.

if we get our console root keys then it will mean we can decpyte every eboot that will come out for the ps3 dont matter what keys sony used and sign it for 3.55fw .also it will mean we can also decrypte ps3 fw 3.56 and above then we would sign it with 3.55 keys = cfw above 3.56 but only people on 3,55 will beable to install so it basicly like that but im just saying the easy bit there propbley lots of other stuff in between eg removing the black listed keys from 3.56+ fw and editing etc. hopefully u catched my drift

Maybe i'm not the right person because I'm not that technical... but the way I understand: U have to see the security as a chain-of-trust. It's a chain of reactions. 1 loader doesn't work (decrypt) without the other loader. Now is Metldr the highest up in the chain-of-trust, so it means (if i'm right) the whole chain is compromised, and we can load our own code.



And where it will lead us... Don't think anyone can tell you yet.. just wait and see.

There's a site that explains a lot about the security maybe that will help you (and me) to understand it a bit better.

http://www.edepot.com/playstation3.html#PS3_Security and look for the part about metldr.

Now that I think about it, this probably explains how people got Uncharted and Battlefield to work. I see a new CFW in time for xmas

I don't want to burst your bubble but this has totally nothing to do with Uncharted and Battlefield... If i'm not mistaken Battlefield 3 and Uncharted 3 eboot's where taken by a developer with access to the dev network, and those eboot's where "just resigned" with 3.55 keys. In case of Uncharted 3 it was a bit more difficult but it all involved with having access to the dev network.

And before you ask... no you can't access the dev network without a real Sony developers licence anymore.

Uhm, no it does not explain about UC3 and BF3....
Also this can't be done with GameOS... start installing OtherOS++ first because the key is console specific. Without OtherOS++ you won't get the key and you need to build the CFW yourself.

@Ginko You are forgetting Linux/OtherOS got removed by $ony? For me this was the reason to hack my PS3. All I wanted was to get back what $ony stole from me, no matter the costs...

I have no problem if someone pirates because of the lack of money btw if they are in a bad situation. But people earning 2ooo+ euro/dollar a month should just buy their games...

But when it comes to eboots/fixes for new games I think You don't need OtherOS. You only need a person who:
a) has the new 3.56+ games;
b) has a PS3 with OtherOS and has the key from Math exploit;
c) will decrypt the 3.56+ games eboots and encrypt them back with 3.55 keys;
d) publishes the eboots.

Am I close or not rly?

If they 3.60+ keys were extracted in such a way, you wouldnt need to re encrypt every single eboot. You could create a CFW with the new keys and save the work or re encypting every sinle eboot.

Would this method work? as long as there is one pwned PS3 out there couldnt we use it to grab the keys from any future OFW ?
