First of all, forgive me for my English.
Obviously, some of you guys (with knowledge of what's going on here) have been pissed off by nonsense questions/comments by users however by the looks of how it is going, I am sure the questions will continue to come. I mean come on, this news is all around the net or at least to those who has been stock with 3.55 CFW. The questions from non devs that rise after this news is pointless to those who knows but with all due respect, end users are so much curious and have no idea what is going on and what to expect. So if one could explain and shed some light in as much details in noob language, things will be much better.

freestylemaster: from what I understood so far these keys are not the answer but they lead to the answer (the more important keys). Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

Im just looking on ps3devwiki, looking at security and boot sequence.

I can see from the diagram why people are saying this will not lead to 3.60+ keys..

Is this completely useless? Is it only bootldr and lvl0 that we really want?



oh.. whilst reading, I found this, could somebody please explain it in full detail, it sounds promising, but I'm unsure?

1) Read/Writeable with undocumented / should also be read/writeable through serial port and possible to switch it to the backup bank1 with backup_mode pulled high 2) CEX/Retail consoles go to standby with red light. SEX/SHOP/SECH will not standby, but instead boot through without waiting for powerbutton. Also check is done on all models if update is flagged to set it into firmware updating procedure 3) Partialy Read/Writeable

As you see on the picture we now have access to the metldr. With this, I think if you figure out how, you also have access to all stuff below, so rvkldr, isoldr, appldr, lv2ldr and lv1ldr and with this the next stuff below. If the picture is right, the only thing we don't have access to is bootldr and lv0.



With some time maybe some devs will find some nice things with this access now, because the metldr is above the most other ldrs.

I personally like the fact that it's not possible yet to play 3.56+ games with this or have another cfw. Not because I don't want to play Games which need 3.56+, I want to buy some games which are 3.56+, but just because of the fact that everyone annoy the devs when they can't play the newest games here and now or don't have the newest cfw here and now. I think it's a good way for THIS people to learn that you just can't have everything here and now, and to learn that they shouldn't ever bite the hands that feed them (and also me). And that's a fact because we don't know how it works! I can wait years for this if i have to.

the laughter against Math now sticks in their throat after they have nothing yet, and Math now won't help anymore.

In a nutshell..

PS3 devs = Indiana Jones
3.60+ keys = The Lost Ark
This 'news' = We've just met that bird in her cafe and she's got her dads headpiece.

Oh and Sony = Major Toht

In other words, there's still a lot of story to tell before this is all 'useful' to us mere spectators

Yes, absolutely. I think .. I'm sorry .. I KNOW that the quote you put on is the answer to all our questions. The SECH part is not as important, but SEX/SHOP will enable playing even 5.0 FW games (even without the traditional way of jailbreaking). This is also confirmed by a guy I know who works for Sony (PS Security).

Thanks for sharing !!

you need 3.55 console
you need on that console otheros++
then install Linux (ubuntoo or whatever)
use the guides to get your unique key
do nothing with that key because at the moment, there is nothing to be done with it.

also* if you have a newer metldr2 machine, dont even bother,
also** if you have a 3.56+ firmware, dont bother. unless you want to progskeet it and downgrade back, then do start at step 1

good?

If I'm not mistaken gitbrew dumped the bootldr so that's step 1 but it was encrypted with what appeared to be the same keys as the metldr, (therefore the per console root key). So if we have the console root key now, we can do step 2 and decrypt it.
