I just compared the md5 and sha1 from my original cex request idps.txt

They are identical.

So for some reason my ps3 has a fully cex flash but it can only install debug firmwares. I guess I'll update to 4.21 dex and see if it bricks or what.

yup @diesel701
the manual convert not sure could be objsuite_set_idps doing this

atleast the created "request_idps.txt" from the dexdump should read 82, then again butnut already tested, he have both values(cex&dex) ..oh no edit both CEX/84 and he can install/run DEX firm on cex...heheh this ps3 scene..ya gotta love it...tough one to

Originally Posted by haz367 the weird part is that the created request.idps.txt shows CEX TargetID, then objective suite should convert along the way? all the info the original guide/middle-man needed are the txt files from "get per console data" he then send u a request.idps.txt back, was this file also with CEX targetid or already DEX 82?

Seems that ObjSuites will flash the regular dump, I don't think it does the conversion for you.

So, the "middle-man" (lol) changes it before sending the request.idps.txt back to you.
That seems the only logical explanation.

@Abkarino stated that he flashed a DEX firmware on CEX machine and it installed and worked? Is that right?

If true, ObjSuites ignores the TargetID check doesn't it?

EDIT:
Just saw the post by @butnut

we should report this to the tvshow..."weird or what" hehe..thx for testing butnut

@JonahUK ,
thats my guess to, it needs those per console data txt files to make req.idps.txt, then again they have installed DEX firmware and all debug settings worked?! only pgk install errors or something...well the more i think about it the more questions hehe..viva la ps3scene

either way, powerfull progy that objectsuites..i wait for butnut to report his findings, maybe he can try bdemu/prodg on installed firmware..thx for testing...

<eussNL> patch SSL, use REQUEST IDPS Generator, lay back bored

Seems like this is what's missing. we need to patch SSL

Rather than cry about how devs never share, why don't you try to learn for yourself if this info is that important to you, even if you fail its okay just crawl out of the frigging high chair and grab a spoon already, you might get more on you than in you but at least you will be trying to do something for yourself.

What are you talking about? I said nothing at all about devs not sharing, what I don't approve of is someone that doesn't share, but strings people along with only a little information. What generally happens when someone makes a breakthrough? They post their results and share with the community like @Abkarino did. (Thank you BTW)

That is what a "scene" or a community is about, sharing and helping those that are not able to make it there on their own. I already have a DEX conversion which I used @CaptainCPSX 's tutorial which not only was the hard linux install, (not really that hard, but hard for those that don't have any prior knowledge) and as mine is a NAND PS3 which has higher risk of bricking and I still took the plunge, it maybe incomplete as we are finding out, but it works how I need it and that's all.

I respect you for not attempting to belittle me, but don't make assumptions either about what I should need to do. My accusations against EvilSperm are based on his past actions. He helped us out a lot with REBUG, but suddenly stopped and no longer really adds anything to the existing work, and in light of the CEX-DEX conversion, I believe that a LOT of progress should have been made.

Mods: Please excuse the off-topic discussions. I will cease now.

Yeah, I guess objective suites must mess with the flags on the syscon.

Obviously its not magic there is a logical reason why I can install dex firmware on a cex ps3, I just don't know what it could be.

Well 4.21 dex just installed and booted... I'll just stop here for now.

Time to play some war for cybertron.

@butnut

So you are on 4.21 DEX on a CEX machine?
This definitely needs looking into.

Could it be something in the .sig files causing it to ignore CEX and only accept DEX?

Nice. The next step is to try if you can install debug pkgs.

Good gaming I'm going to play Dishonored now :P

Mmm, seems that this pass is for obtaining the request_idps file. Or I am wrong?
In this case, we have that file (idps) from the Rnd program.

hehe...euss and short sentences...clueless for most of us..it gives the brain a tickle atleast we got the missing piece of the puzzle..thx euss for the tip, now HOWTO patch SSL have a break have a snicker... cuse after the test from butnut it's kinda vague
