PS3 4.70 OFW Hack (including SuperSlim PS3) - New method for injecting backups

So ,here is some news for PlayStation 3 OFW owners, as Russian hackers have released a new method of injecting backups on PS3 4.70 Official Firmware, similar to the hack and information from Kakaroto that lead to injections of various PS3 and PSP backups and tools such as trueAncestor backup Injector (which is used in this method). This new method seems to require a update for the game or it will not work according to limited reports. Also the hack does not require a IDPS which becomes even more useful for OFW user's as there is currently not many ways to obtain an IDPS via software. IDPStealer was one method used by PS3 user's during the first backup injection hack, but Sony patched the tool created by flatz and now this new method has a conversion that is said to not need any hardware or idps. The process can be found in this included Tutorial. ​

Requirements Part 1 - Convert PS3 Game & Modify License Part 2 - Only needed if not included in your backup Part 3 - Repack ISO to PKG and Inject Back to PS3 Note for OFW 4.75 and higher

• 
  
  Requirements for Converting your Games on PS3 4.70 OFW (Downloads @ bottom of article):
  
  • The Game (Disc Version) and the Patches..
    
  • Converter: GAME_CONVERT.zip
  • Injector: TrueAncestor - The BACKUP Injector
  • Hex Editor: HxD - The Hex Editor is Freeware
  • make_npdata: (Complied version inside GAME_CONVERT)
  • PkgView: (Latest version 1.3 is needed)
• 
  
  
  PART: #1 - Convert PS3 Game / Modify License​
  1. Open archive GAME_CONVERT.zip any archive and extract packed inside GAME_CONVERT folder at any convenient place, preferably close to the root of the drive (NOT the folder path should be long and contain Cyrillic characters and other signs such as @ & () "/ [\ ]:;! | =,)
  2. If you have downloaded the game in an ISO you need to unpack it or mount a virtual drive. Of all the files we need only PS3_GAME folder, copy it to GAME_CONVERT. This also unpack the archive GAME_CONVERT.zip, containing script-BAT and utility make_npdata.
     As a result, you should get this:
     
  3. We go in and check out there PS3_GAME presence LICDIR folder. If not, then read the following second part.
  4. Run CONVERT.BAT, continue to enter the name of our future in the game folder NPEBXXXXX format (where XXXXX any five-digit number), click the interval, waiting ... After the completion of the script, next to the other files will be almost finished with the game folder.
  5. It's time to unpack the patch (s). If the patch is not one, then you need to unpack them all and merge into a single folder, from smallest to largest, while agreeing with the replacement.
  6. Copy EBOOT.BIN file from the patch to the folder USRDIR our converted games. Editing, if needed, PARAM.SFO. (Change the version of the game, and the firmware on the exact same as in PARAM.SFO patch)
  7. Finished the game folder and the folder with the patch throws in "TrueAncestor BACKUP Injector \ game" and create a backup for instructions, please read third part below. Something like this should look ready patch folder and games.

  PART #2 : (Create/Modify License)
  Only needed, if one was NOT included in your 'backup'!​
  
  
  Creating PS3_GAME \ LICDIR \ LIC.DAT
  

  1. In PS3_GAME create LICDIR folder.
  2. Open in LIC.DAT hex-editor on any game, scroll down to 0x800 position until we find the game code (scroll carefully, that would not miss).
     
     
     
  3. Once found, we replace it with the code of our game, taken from PARAM.SFO.
     
     
     
  4. Vanishes 4 bytes old checksum in the 0x20 position (which indicates the 4th arrow), then select from the beginning exactly 0h900 bytes (number of allocated code is displayed in the bottom of the hex-editor - "Length: 900"), calculate a new CRC-32 as shown by the arrows and write a new check sum in the position 0x20:
     
     
  5. Save and copy ready LIC.DAT in PS3_GAME \ LICDIR.

  
  P.S. --> You can generate LIC.DAT code of PARAM.SFO games via the PS3 LIC.DAT Generator.​

  PART #3: Repack ISO to PKG and Inject Backup to PS3​
  
  
  PS3 OFW RePack (ISO2PKG)
  

  1. Insert the flash drive in the PS3 or an external HDD, formatted in FAT32.
  2. Go to "System Settings> Backup Utility" and create a backup copy.
  3. To unpack (* .pkg) use PkgView v1.3
     
     
     
  4. To add a game to use the backup TrueAncestor BACKUP Injector v1.70
  5. Drag a folder with numbers "PS3 \ EXPORT \ BACKUP \ 000000000000" in "TrueAncestor_BACKUP_Injector_v1.70 \ backup" folder
  6. Folders with the unpacked game move to folder "TrueAncestor_BACKUP_Injector_v1.70 \ game"
     • [NPXX00000] - The game itself
     • [BLXX00000] - Patch
     • DLC (if present)
  7. Run injector.exe and Recompiling BACKUP with the game (carry out points "1", "3", "S")
     
     
     
  8. Restoring a backup to the PS3
• 
  

  Restore function has been patched on 4.70+ OFW, all the edat files will not be restored from archive.dat in the backup, so those methods to activate games thru edat files go to an end.
  
  To make the games work on 4.70+ OFW, there are three ways:
  1. transfer data from a CFW console.
  2. restore a backup that is directly from a 4.70 or lower console. in this way, files those to activate the games are all in the archive2.dat, so you can restore all the needed files on 4.70+ OFW.
  3. if you get idps for your 4.70+ console, you can inject files directly to archive2.dat via ps3xport then restore the backup, profit.

  
  Thanks to @jjkkyu for explaination.

you cant...

This hack does not require the idps.
It works with 4.81 but you cannot inject directly, you must use the data transfer method instead. It requires having another console on CFW. A little impractical if you ask me.
There are 2 other ways though, including the idps + ps3export way.... Given the fact that you can get your idps I think I would explore this rather than the data transfer utility method..
Have you actually read the "Note for 4.75+ OFW" tab in the OP?

The info's on the 4.75+ are not completely true ,the DTU method works but the idps method won't work on any ps3 4.75+ due to the fact that any protected files will be ignored at the moment of restore even when pushed to the encrypted backup (archive2.dat ) just wanted to share my experience with the exploit
Thank you for all the work and support you provide ,really great job

We know...
This is an old thread & some of the posts were written before we had full access to all the data, consequently although mostly correct some posts have slightly wrong info in parts & were never updated.

 

far cry 4 workss in cfw but after DTU to OFW it only Show Kyrat Key ???

 

I'm on 4.70 and have no problems with it.

Has anyone got any of the Call of Duty games to work?
If so, which ones?

Thanks

 

i have followed all the steps above and i am getting error 80010006, i have tryed many games and i always end up facing the same error, i am running PS3 CECH-4003A OFW 4.65.

Don't use the tools provided in this guide they are so outdated and full of bugs
For best results make sure :
1- the game is original and wasn't moded OE patched by moders (avoid duplex even tho I used some of his and they worked )
2 - use this ,its fully automated https://github.com/friendlyanon/CFW2OFW-Helper/releases
Good luck

 

thank you, i have another question, inside game folder there is a PARAM.SFO and inside it there is a PS3 system drop list and category drop list, is it ok to change the PS3 drop list to be 4.65 to match my current OFW virsion and change the category to HG harddrive game ?

Don't change the type to HD drive game unless you are following an exclusive method ,changing the fw only if its higher than your ps3 version , because its pointless otherwise

thank you, i will keep that in mind and hope for the best.

 

any idea on how to fix error 80010009 ?

 

Does someone know if there's possible to put DLCs using this? I'm trying to get the mw3 DLCs I already downloaded the PKG files files and I installed the backup on my PS3 and I installed the DLCs(.pkg) but idk how to activate them can someone help me?

afaik, dlc won't work since it requires a rap file. I don't believe there's any way to generate a rif file (rap2rif) on ofw. fixed content might work (not sure).

 

@Pylo , I take that back. I don't think a fixed pkg will work either since it's not properly signed.

 

And can u recommend me some

it works we just need to find a way to activate the dlcs, i tryed activating the aground/erosion dlc (its a free mw3 dlc) from my account and it started working normaly

if by that you mean using a license, that's a problem. I'm afraid I haven't read much into this method of playing backups, but I think what I've read said that only edats worked since they contain no personal/console information. I could be wrong about this though. I merely skimmed a page when I wasn't sure if this hack would work on newer firmwares. I had thought that sony was masking the idps, but as it turns out, the backup made by the system can no longer be decrypted or something.

 

How do I fix the error 80010006? I already used the exploit to move the lic.edat to my ps3 and wen I try to start the game that error appears on my screen
