zAxis, of PSX-Scene has been working diligently on an open source version of psdowngrade known as "PSGRADE". Today he shares his work with the public however it is not fully functional. As his code still requires the dongle master key which is buried under the PS3 console. The good news however s that zAxis can retrieve the key via 3.15 Firmware

He is asking the community, anyone with a 3.15 console, to help retrieve this key. Once retrieved, PSGrade should become fully functional. Below, is his request to the public.

To anyone who wants to help, here is what you have to do:

1- run the PSGrade I posted (just like jp)

2- reboot into linux (no power cycling!!)

3- dump HV (and post it)

if you dont know how to dump HV in linux, then google it (you will need to open your ps3 and solder it DONT DO IT IF YOU ARE NOT AN EXPERT!!!)

Good Luck

once you get the key, post it in key.h and try it.

Please remember, this is a work in progress, nothing is working yet (so dont ask for hexes), and nothing is for sure.

Good Luck

oh, and thanks to graf_chokolo for ... everything, Hansi for the dump, and mathieulh for PSGroove (PSGrade is a derivative of PSGroove) and everyone else.

accorking to graf_chokolo, to get the ps3 to decrypte the master key, then you have to call "Verify Response" and the master key will saved in plain text. it is called when plugin a jig, and that is what PSGrade is.

once we have the key, we will have a working jig :-)

And no 3.41 is no good even if you have dump the HV

wow great work guys

[japsander]

this sounds very promising.
thx for the news.

awesome news, i don't know why not use Graf_chokolo payload to dump the master key, i was about to do that this weekend but never got around doing it. and he says 3.41 does not work so it wouldn't have much purpose.

ultimathaker if you are interested in posting news, try writing a news post in your own words and stop cloning other peoples work.

[Pockets69]

yes as Greg said, do a little introduction text! it doesn't need to be big! and then quote the appropriated stuff, it doesn't take much time.

@Pockets69, why do you feel the need to spam every thread? Just because your a mod doesnt mean you have to agree/disagree with every post on the site.
