Someone has to do it
Anyway, my PS3 is collecting dust since I bought it (used it for at most 10 hours this year). I'm sadly too old and busy to play.

I'm thinking of doing everything manually like in the original leak, I'm not sure I'll have the patience still.
Let's get the per console keys and NOR dump first and then I'll think about the next step.

edit: is this tool reliable for NOR dumping? http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php...hlight=memdump

It is

Thank you for the response. I'll still be looking into this when I get home.

Sounds good. Is you ps3 QA flagged? If not you should do it first, there may be a way to return a converted dex back to a cex with out a hardware flasher. I may be wrong but it can't hurt to be qa flagged.

No offence to author or you lol, but prove it

it's easy to prove, just compare the results in the output with the commands you execute by hand with the CEX-DEX(2).7z readme. if they match that means it's doing it correctly. this is not the hard part. the hard part is to get the eid_root_key. once you get that, and if you're really in need, just compare hand by hand.

I'm not really interested to return to CEX. Like I said, I'm not into playing thus almost no interest in piracy, but having a "genuine" 100% fully working debug console really interests me for a few personal projects! (almost bought one from ebay)

So, who's helping me speed things up.

Is doing this on a ps3 at is QA flagged really safe has at been tested yet?

if people want to flash this thing so badly WITHOUT a hardware flasher, like i said, you only need linux or jaicrab's flasher (for NOR).

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/35197530/Lv2diag.self
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/35197530/advance.cfg

jaicrab provided those, so you can check for yourself on his blog.

To Flash:
put these two files on the root of a fat32 formatted stick.
rename your DEX dump to rflash.bin
execute the self with a self loader such as MultiMAN (use mmOS to go to the stick and load the self there)
wait 35 minutes for the console to stop blinking and shutdown with steady red light (THIS ONLY WORKS ON NORS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)
confirm if it boots (alternatively, if you have qa, DEX doesn't have qa when you do the button combo, so you can test it)
flash 3.55 DEX firmware by recovery

i'm not responsible for the damage you may do to your console.

It's early days yet.
Once it's easier and there's a more noob friendly tutorial, then I'm all for it.
As far as I'm concerned, for now, DEX is only interesting to developers.
