ill ask again:


Last couple of months we had a semi-hack that allowed code to be installed on a 4.XX console (kakaroto's stuff).

In theory, could it work if hb was installed via this method and then used the new keys to run?

very exciting news, will be waithing and reading.

So. Does this mean anything for users of latest firmware, like myself? Or what of those who upgrade to today's 4.30 update?

Do you mean for those who have a console to downgrade or do you mean specifically those with a flasher?

Because i have a console that will happily accept a OFW of a really low level, its an old NAND based phat, but i dont have a hardware flasher as it requires opening the console and soldering parts on, not really my area, will these keys open the chances of there being a software downgrade option or am i still stuck?

you will need to downgrade back to 3.55.. i'm not sure if there's a 'working' software method ( after all the crap bluedisk gave, lol ), but if there's not, then you have to use a flasher.

thats what i am wondering too Cypherous. i thought lv0 was access to most of the systems decryption. but i know very little about ps3 internals.

anyone care to answer properly?

as far as I understood; the spkg key is not in the lv0, but is required to sign our own pup's..
you can update from 3.55 to 4.25CFW because 3.55 uses the old validation method which has been fixed in 3.60..

there's no exploit found eversince then to sign our own pup's and therefor not possible for us to install CFW's above 3.60 OFW's

too many noob questions it must be a thread for them!!
now any fw can be hacked and we can have psn all time but the probleme is sony will start the ban , i wonder if we can spoof console id too remain anonym

I wouldnt put it past them, afterall their new "agreement" states that you are only buying a licence not the hardware. It would cost them a fortune, but they can release an update which disables all PS3s and then claim everyone needs to exchange their old console a new console.
