Things you'll need:

- ps3 on 3.55 OTHEROS++ (this was tested on a slim, but phats are probably achievable aswell)
- latest linux kernel (or any of the 3.x.x kernels by glevand precompiled, you can thank him or donate to gitbrew on www.gitbrew.org )
- knowledge of linux ( such as , creating symlinks (ln -s), editing kboot.conf, sudoing, etc)

In case you don't have the latest kernel, but already have one installed distro: http://gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/linu...-build.tar.bz2
wget that
tar -xvf that
cd to the discompacted folder
and cp -R * /
and then edit /etc/kboot.conf in the following manners

Test=/boot/vmlinux root=/dev/"device here" (mine is dd1 because of Red Ribbon, so use yours accordingly)

And now for the fun part

sudo passwd (in case you haven't set a passwd for su)
su
ln -s /dev/ps3flashf /dev/ps3flash
ps3-dump-bootloader > bootldr.bin

PS: Lv0 keys are STILL encrypted, so don't complain, you have your precious bootldr there, have fun with it

PPS: it's DEcrypted, sorry for this

this seems waaaay too simple to not have been already done by someone. . am I right?

Anyway thanks for the tip

PS: with the bootldr decrypted and lv0 keys still encrypted, what could be achieved?

Thanks Zeco for posting the info - I saw Snowy commenting about it on Twitter and wondered how long it would be before someone posted this.

Nice job to Glevand and Co

[zecoxao]

@EthanHawks i told him on pm... unfortunately he can't do much to it now, because of the pain killers (trip to dentist)

[EthanHawks]

@zeco Ha - I know how he feels man. The denist happens to be one of the most feared aspects of my life It's that damn drill from all that candy when I was a youngster

Thanks again man for your efforts

Wait, so with a decrypted bl, someone who knows how can reverse it and...? What does this mean for us normal people? Also, I hope someone verifies the version strings that mathieulh posted last year so we can see if he was telling the truth or full of sh*t
