I was thinking add the blacklisted/calculated 3.55 keys back to this 4.xx set and carry on with everything working as is and beyond.

didn't math say something about lv0? can anyone verify if he was right or wrong?

No, not exactly. See, when firmware 3.55 was originally cracked, and the private keys were discovered, we had the keys for almost everything in that firmware except LV0. Because of this, Sony moved the keys used to decrypt the other elements of the firmware into LV0, and thats the reason no one has been able to make a newer custom firmware.

Now that we have the LV0 keys (including the private signing key which we can get because LV0 is signed using keys that were flawed, similar to the rest of the keys pre-3.60), we can decrypt LV0 and extract the rest of the keys used to encrypt the 3.60+ firmware files. But what we can't do is figure out Sony's new private keys, because they fixed the security flaw that allowed us to get those.

Once you install OFW 3.60+, it uses the new uncrackable keys to check the validity of any firmware you try to install, so it is not possible to go directly from OFW 3.60+ to CFW. But with a flasher you can, because it bypasses the check.

Almost. we would also need to patch lv0/lv1 to allow peek & poke, and get back 'install pkg' menu options. Plus patch so we can exit lvdiag.. install any (c)fw from the menus..

It would be easier to have a rebug-style fw with mixed debug ldrs inside with all these goodies... (A lot of work needs to be done to get a safe 4.2x cfw if we ever want to go back to 3.55 at some point.)

Now we can Exploit Bootldr!!!! This is epic as ****.

The problem is that models 3000+ uses a slightly different bootloader and lv0.2 so, for now, there isn't much that can be done for those.

Your console model should be in the safe zone but it's too soon to know if there will be a solution for not downgradeable consoles, you have to wait for a dev's confirmation.

Needs a 'whatsnew.txt'.

There's not a single note of how/what was changed (yet) and we can't know if we can ever up/downgrade into this. Or if it works on 4.21 OFW via recovery.. things like that.

Sounds like somebody like jennys anyways. I wouldn't pay attention to the babble.

Still love for me as an original phat 4,25 OFW guy!

as far as I understand the people with consoles that can be downgraded can download the new CFW without actually downgrading right?
Or am I mistaken?
