sorry to be the noob here, but how big of a deal is this? just glancing through the most recent posts it would seem that we are on the verge of making the complete breakthrough of cfw? am i wrong, still a ways to go? could someone clue me in?

you are wrong

success in compiling with cygwin after fixing the source.. thnx cory1492 for your fix..

but i only get this:
INFO] Connecting to '192.168.1.104'...ok.

i think it is an timing problem.. the dump_rootkey.exe opens a random UDP-Port (above 60000 i think) on the PC... but the PS3 is not able to connect back

maybe my wlan is the problem or the acess-point..

to tired now to watch ahead... maybe fixing tomorrow.. soooo close to it ;-)

From deank tutorial:

* Create a dump of your NOR/NAND (use multiMAN to create a .NORBIN/.NANDBIN file - USB connected as /dev_usb000 required)
        - To dump flash: mmOS->Select any file->Open in HEX viewer->[SELECT]->[START]->DUMP LV2(NO)->DUMP LV1(NO)->DUMP FLASH(YES)
    * Transfer to your PC and unpack it with norunpack.exe or cex2dex to a folder and grab "metldr" from the "asecure_loader" folder
    * Put "metldr" into the "metldrpwn" folder on your USB

I used norunpack to extract metldr on cygwin
norunpack.exe lot_of_numbers_FLASH-NOR-FW3.55.NORBIN metldr

To get the "metldr", just dump your flash with the latest build of multiMAN:
mmOS->Select any file->Open in HEX viewer->[SELECT]->[START]->DUMP LV2(NO)->DUMP LV1(NO)->DUMP FLASH(YES)

Transfer the dumped file of the NOR or NAND flash (copied to the USB) to your PC, and use norunpack.exe:
norunpack.exe flash.BIN extract_folder

In the extract_folder you will find the "metldr" (59KB) inside the folder "asecure_loader".

An alternative method to extract "metldr" is using the CEX2DEX application by Gunner54.

You first have to downgrate to 3.55 (DEX or CEX), to apply any flash patch using multiMAN.

I think "No Linux" referred to PS3 not PC

It took me 10 minuets too run/setup/install Ubuntu on VMware and 5 minuets to compile, yet again cygwin or Microsoft Visual Studio is on windows if you have time to work with.
