Jaicrab USB Firm Loader - First steps for PS3 CFW! - PS3Hax Network

Pirate · 09-17-2010

More exciting news from the PS3 scene. Jaicrab has released a program for the PS3 known as "USB Firm Loader v0.2". This app requires you to have a jailbroken PS3 w/ FTP server program and allows us to dump the contents inside /dev_flash (the "guts" of your PS3 firmware), install it on a USB stick, and then boot from that firmare!

Does this mean custom firmware for PS3? Yes indeed it does, and this is a very big step towards PS3 CFW =). All that would be required from this point is to make modifications to firmware as needed to let it do what we want.

To quote (translated):

This program allows to simulate dev_flash from a USB. Allowing therefore a Custom Firmware. We will be able to modify the files of our new dev_flash (USB) to our ill, without running the risk of throwing the PS3 to the sweepings. It is a beta version, surely you will find failures. I will continue working in it when the time allows it to me. To remember that the console does not undergo any risk. Everything what really changes of new dev_flash you will be doing it in the USB.

Requirements: 1. - Syscall PEEK and POKE.

Installation: 1. - To copy with the ?Ftp server? all the content of /dev_flash to the USB (in the root). 2. - To also copy the JaiC_USB_FIRM_LOADER.pkg in the root of the USB. 3. - To install the package.

Use: 1. - To introduce the USB in the PS3. 2. - To execute USB FIRM LOADER. After a second volvera to the XMB. The new one will sign this loaded.

You will see that any thing that you make the USB will start up. Ideal to modify RCO, to interchange units, which you imagine.

IMPORTANT! You do not update being in way Firmware Live. That would reinitiate the system having returned to put dev_flash original and it would update to you! NonUPDATE FROM USB FIRMWARE LOADER!

Things are starting to look good for the homebrew scene

Too bad I still don't have anything to jailbreak with >.<

Maybe we can do something similar to DevHook on PSP... like, boot the latest FW via USB, allowing us PSN access & to play the latest games/use newest FW features while remaining on 3.41
