Extract .pup from console

[Spawn]

Is it possible to "extract" the .pup from a console?

which pup?

Sorry I was a bit vague.

If I'm on FW 4.81 or whatever, could it be extracted to the firmware pup file, from the console?

If I have a DECH console, for instance, could I "rip" the firmware as a pup file?

I don't think it is possible to fully export a .PUP only from dev_flash files.

afaik, this isn't possible. however, you can dump the flash. you can also extract any pup with PUAD. I'm not sure why you'd want to turn the firmware already installed into a pup.

Since a .PUP file is only a container, like a .rar or .zip, it is deleted after it gets installed. (ps3 copies it to HDD, extracts and installs it, then deletes it).

I have found the .PUP file with file manager before. I think when automatic updates are enabled, it downloads it and keeps it in dev_hdd0\tmp\ maybe (can't remember exactly where it was).

But like they said already, you could copy all the dev_flash files, and get coreos by making a dump of the Flash.

Also can check updater folder on hdd, sometimes will contain recent pups.
