PS3 NoPSN Apps

Now that debug maybe Amazon PLEASE :D

still having re-signing issues with Amazon app. I cannot get a re-signed EBOOT or SELF to boot without returning to XMB. But yeah, definitely Hulu and Amazon are top on my list. Hopefully have some results soon. If anyone can get a re-signed file to boot for Amazon, let me know how!! I will post any updates and packages.

EDIT #1 (Amazon): Apparently I can sign the files as DEBUG and it boots...more details soon! <-- eh, sorta

EDIT #2 (Hulu): Backtracking to v1.54, I have forced Hulu to give me a network error!! This is good news....maybe, as I only have so far edited 2 SDAT files to get to this point :)

EDIT #3 (YouTube): New USA YouTube 3.01 has been released. I am loading ELF into IDA now and patching. Will post links if anyone wants them when finished. I assumed nobody noticed the update because we are all using the EU version :)

EDIT #4 (YouTube): Using aAge_restricted as a starting point in disassembly, you can go six functions down from this to find PSN check function. The XREF from this function is the branch instruction that needs NOP'd. The US version uses the same offset as the EU version for PSN check --> 0x055F30 :beaten:

EDIT #5 (YouTube): Here is a NoPSN link for US version of YouTube for anyone that wants it: Youtube-v3.01-[NPUP10028]-NoPSN.pkg

EDIT #6 (YouTube): Producing a NoADS version of YouTube, as I suspected, does not look easy. My first thought was to modify some local files. Upon further inspection, my second thought was to bootstrap an SPRX module to do a MITM attack basically and filter out the ad links using javascript. I assume that the ads are inserted the same way for the desktop and mobile versions as well. I have been using a "trial" version of YouTube Red and have not seen any ads, surprise, surprise :) I will see what I can come up with as far as that goes sometime in the future as I have spare time.

EDIT #7 (Hulu): New revelations for v1.56 point to EBOOT for patching, maybe the SPRX as well. I am going to see if I can get past the initial PSN splash to the Hulu login screen. From there, the SPRX may come into play. I do not have a Hulu account, so when or if I get a test package ready, I will post it for others to test. I will need you to test the following things:

1) Test Hulu User Login
2) Disconnect From PSN while logged in and see if a PSN splash happens
3) Connect To PSN while logged out and see if anything weird happens (I can test this part)
4) Disconnect and reconnect to PSN while logged in to verify there are no PSN splashes
5) Disconnect and reconnect to PSN while logged out and see if anything weird happens (I can test this part as well)
6) Post details

EDIT #8 (YouTube): It seems the Japanese version has also been updated to v3.01. The offset was again our now infamous 0x055F30 location. All regions share the same patch area. Here is the new NoPSN package: Youtube-v3.01-[NPJB00286]-NoPSN.pkg

EDIT #9 (Hulu): Taking a small break from Hulu. I tried a ton of patching on EBOOT with no luck yet. I will see what I can do tomorrow. Here is an updated IDA file with all my comments for anyone interested, here: Hulu-v1.56-[NPUP00046]-[IDA-Refs]-update1.zip

Just a quick Hulu status update!

After using ProDG Debugger live with static IDA debugging for a while, I have managed to finally get live debugging working using decid3bug through IDA. I must admit, I thought once this happened , the job would get easier. While it was very exciting stepping through code in IDA while attached to a running EBOOT for the first time, it created another level of complexity. I now can see all the registers change and things happen while i step through, but first, I am no PowerPC expert (in training though!) and second, now I have to muck around tons of code and functions to catch where the initial PSN XMB splash happens.

Ill post any further progress. I have been also updating other apps that are "easier" to patch. If anyone wants to participate, I can bring you up to the same speed as me, as far as PS3 reversing is concerned :)

Here are 2 original, debug ready packages for anyone that wants to save a few steps:

Hulu-v1.56-[NPUP00046]-DEBUG.pkg
Hulu-v1.54-v1.56-Spoofed-[NPUP00046]-DEBUG.pkg

Good luck men....and women.......and me!! :eek new:

@esc0rtd3w could you post last noads youtube to hold til you fix version 3.01

Is there an issue with one of the 3.01 versions?? All 3 versions of 3.01 Youtube have been patched here US / EU / JP. Plus all are on the main NGU thread.

EDIT #1:
Ahh....noAds!! I don't have any NoAds versions for Youtube. I have patched a few apps for NoAds such as PopcornFlix, MLB, NHL, and a few more I think. Working on Twitch and a few others on the side now. Youtube I need a working method that works on normal desktop probably to port it over on PS3 in some fashion, either by modifying local files (which I don't think will work) or using an external SPRX loaded in memory to do simple text replacement in javascript environment. I have used the "manual method" by replacing the "watch?v=[VIDEO_ID]" with "/v/[VIDEO_ID]" and it works for bypassing ads.

EDIT #2: I can look at the v2.xx versions to see if there are any major file differences but I think they both use the standard WebKit stuff. That may be an attack surface, I just gotta make time to figure it out.

I have never actually tried this app TBH but afaik esc0rtd3w's 1.06 release with the eboot patch for nopsn used to work fine. If there was an update available you would get prompted on launch, no need for PSN, unless you don't have Internet at all.
Have you used the patched pkg?

Or have you tried to patch the unencrypted eboot yourself with an hex editor..?

Hi bguerville.

I have internet connection. I tried in so many ways in different order to install the .Pkg. When I used the patched Pkg the screen is black and three dots loading "..." Sorry for my English

I was actually wondering about that for some of the apps. I assumed that the Movistar app was one of the "End Of Life" routines that does have the "infinite 3 dot loading" because the servers are down.

I will look further into this if it is indeed not at EOL and is a functioning app.

Thanks for your reporting :smile new:

EDIT: I have gotten my PS3 banned during all of the testing (mostly because I would forget to spoof kernel as CEX or just forget to clear logs, etc) and I cannot verify the original app works while signing in to PSN. If I get another CID then I can test further. If anyone can test the original package while signing in to verify the app still works, that would be appreciated!

Hi teacher.

I have a consoleid 24hours with a valid PSN account working and the original Movistar+ 1.06 works. When I install your nopsn app Movistar+ I get again 3 dots...

Thank you. I Hope this can help you.

thanks. I will go back and check this app and the others that may have the same protection. I will post packages to test here and on my main PSN Apps thread.


EDIT #1: I have properly patched it and it loads normally for me on my banned PS3!

It was actually just the "standard" TRUE/FALSE flag at offset 0x00288322

I am uploading new NoPSN package now, I will post link when it's finished.

EDIT #2: Here ya go! Movistar-v1.06-[NPEB02135]-NoPSN.pkg :triumphant:

A Working Version ;)https://mega.nz/#!OQBj2ZZR!Zav3nB-JZS47yyipc7pgoFQuPcnUMXJ2KaEQ3SFSxRA

Just again wanted to say thanks to @aosucas499 for pointing out that the Movistar PSN Bypass was not working.

I have went through and fixed the other apps that have the same protection.

Here are the other packages that were updated and fixed, also posted in both of my other PSN threads:

ABC-iView-v1.01-[NPEB02205]-NoPSN.pkg
All4-v1.02-[NPEB01271]-NoPSN.pkg
Dansk-Filmskat-v1.01-[NPEB02344]-NoPSN.pkg
Demand5-v1.04-[NPEB00861]-NoPSN.pkg

Wuaki-TV-v1.08-[NPEB01813]-NoPSN.pkg

enjoy :saturn:


EDIT #1: @MixeryMaxe as bitsbubba said, there should be no issues with signing into YouTube account. I as well login to mine, and even have used YouTube Red with no issues. I think the bypass just blocks the XMB splash (runs in a loop) and as far as I can tell, there is no PSN functionality in use that the app requires.

EDIT #2: @atreyu187 I will see what I can do with the Vue app. I took an initial stab at it and backed away after about 15 minutes, but that was mainly because I was trying to get all the rest of the apps done. :indecisiveness:
