Hi gents and ladies,

This news should be taken with caution, but it seems some guys around the internet are working on 3.55 CFW that would be BM capable... of course this is so much expected by thousands

Among them, flukes1, most renowned for his work on the iPhone scene, has decided to bring his grain of salt to the PS3 scene.

Here is an excerpt of some IRC chat in which announces his intentions to port PL3 to a 3.55 CFW so that backup managers can run.

IRC channel in which this was announced not confirmed yet, if someone can merge to this post, itll be appreciated.

To quote:

< +flukes1> anyone know where the syscall table is in 3.55 lv2
< +flukes1> again, anyone got the TOC location in lv2_kernel.elf yet?
< +flukes1> im trying to find the TOC in lv2_kernel.elf
< +flukes1> found the syscall table
< +flukes1> but cant find the toc
< +flukes1> im working on incorporating the jailbreak payload into the lv2_kernel self and other files
< +flukes1> for 3.55
< +sorrowuk> flukes1 : did you find what was changed in 3.42 etc to remove jailbreak ?
< +flukes1> they just fixed the usb bug
< +sorrowuk> flukes1 : can you not just put the usb bug back in there
< +flukes1> well yes but that’s stupid
< +flukes1> you’d need a usb device as before
< +flukes1> this way is better – the jailbreak is directly incorporated into the firmware update
< +sorrowuk> flukes1 : but isnt it risky cause your messing with lv2 kernel
< @Nicksasa> flukes1, did you test if the makeself’ed lv2_kernel works ? lol
< +flukes1> Nicksasa: no its not done yet
< +flukes1> sorrowuk: somewhat risky yes but it has to be done
< @Nicksasa> well if you’re doing the same patches as a payload … but there’s always a chance that something fails
< +flukes1> all of the changes im making have been done on many other lv2 kernels
< +flukes1> this will take me a while
< +flukes1> im about 50% done
< +flukes1> homebrew can be signed extremely easily now though
< +flukes1> im nearly done
< +FoG> I’ll watch as you brick your PS3 flukes1
< +flukes1> FoG: not likely
< +flukes1> i’m basically taking the payload which we know works
< +flukes1> and permanently patching it into lv2
< +sorrowuk> flukes1 : but are you doing it for 3.55 ?
< +flukes1> yes
< +flukes1> 3.55
< +flukes1> nobody can run this until we have confirmation that lv2 signing works
< +flukes1> decibell: i am stuck on the last patch
< +flukes1> that dcc exploits a ‘protection’ feature in some routers
< +flukes1> netgear i think
< +flukes1> sven: you may not know this, but would the TOC be missing from an elf
< +flukes1> I’m not sure but its something to do with the syscall table
< @sven> no idea
< +flukes1> ok
< +flukes1> is anyone able to extract lv2_kernel.self from firmware 3.40 and upload it somewhere
< +flukes1> it doesnt just execute the self
< +flukes1> it will keep booting from it
< +flukes1> ive already ported everything
< +flukes1> each patch can be disabled/enabled
< +flukes1> I now have everything I need to compile the PL3 payload for 3.55
< +flukes1> next step is to add the payload as a section on lv2_kernel and write a jump into it somewhere
< +flukes1> so still some stuff to do
< +flukes1> i’ve had 5 or 6 people offer to test it though
< +flukes1> and i won’t release it to them until i’m pretty sure about it
< +vidarino> flukes1: wouldn’t it be easier to just add peek/poke to the kernel, and let an app do the rest of the job?
< +flukes1> vidarino: technically its probably better to use a previously tested payload
< +flukes1> without making changes to it
< +vidarino> flukes1: the peek’n'poke code alone is tiny enough to be hexedited into place. :]
< +flukes1> vidarino: i know but I wanted to make something more complete
< +flukes1> it’s possible, so why not
< +flukes1> hmm, just one hash left to find, but it’s not showing itself
< +flukes1> i may have a problem though, the PL3 payload uses hashes of 4 different elf/prx files
< +flukes1> to patch them
< +flukes1> hey math, do you know anything about how PL3 does its elf hashing

No release plan yet

was just about to post this, you beat me

this is what the masses want by the look of it. Was only a matter of time

Edit: It seems the cfw you speak of is different

this is what i was looking at:

In a surprise occasion, nathan_r32_69 a.k.a Evilnat from PS3SOS has announced his CFW project for the PS3 console which delivers the final “unlock”, the backup loader.

lets hope they hurry up on the program to sign stuff so they can get it up n runnin to test it out

[T-R-M_Assassin]

I was going to do this in like a week when I had time but I probably wont now I'll just support this group of devs in testing/helping etc

[CrystalWolf]

Was just checking out the news on logic-sunrise nice stuff let's see the results

[Cop]

Oh thanks for the topic. I just read it and i'll be waiting for the respond. I think that everybody knows that backup manager will come in to use!

Atleast we know people are working on it

[jackieboy8]

Like he says on the irc that sony just removed the usb bug. And it's posible to add it again. But he thinks thats stupid because you still need the usb dongle Ok But can we have that in the mean while because I think a lot of people have a usb dongle to jailbreak and we will wait for the dongles version But a cfw with the usb bug back isn;t that bad :musicus: :aetsch:

[ddsdavey]

Agreed,if its a simple process then it would be nice,i lack the ability so im not gonna assume its awalk in the park but if nothing is on the horizon...
It is annoying that Geohotz piracy stance,(cowardly!) noble though it is,kinda tarnish's those GENUINE people who simply want to prevent damage to there own media by using managers and the fact he is the public face of Ps3 hacking (like it or not people!) can only spread this misconception,surely?
Although is this not,in itself,a myth?
What i mean is arnt Blu Ray discs unscratchable etc? Thus no need to "backup"?
@ Cop,dont you think its a lil early to be "advising" CFW,and how can the 3 you list be the "best"?,they are the only ones to test the ice,not one person has made a fully fledged,tested,RECOMMENDED CFW???

[T-R-M_Assassin]

Just one therory about this, didn't the payloads allow unsigned homebrew
If so we should be able to run all old homebrew we made and new signed ones
