PS3 OFFICIAL bguerville's PS3 Toolset v1.2.004 Update Now Live - Supporting 4.89 + NEW Features


Notice OFFICIAL PS3 Toolset is not currently online, will be back soon.
See Link for more info: https://www.psx-place.com/threads/4...irmware-capable-models-status-warnings.38553/

Beware there are some unofficial versions out there in the wild, They are incomplete and have a high brick risk they should not be consider mirror. When official PS3 Toolset is back online we will update you here, .
d Following the firmware update of 4.89 the scene was awaiting an update to bguerville's PS3 Toolset so that CFW capable console who may of updated to 4.89 (or jailbreaking for the first time) can run the exploit and once again and be able to install CFW from 4.89. Now for those experienced CFW user's they knew they should wait and NOT UPDATE when a new firmware update goes live as those user's simply just waited for Evilnat's 4.89 Cobra CFW to be released. .

Now back to the official toolset update, behind the scene's prior to the 4.89 update the v1.2 update was near deployment. So instead of making various updates, one to support 4.89 and one for v1.2 new feature's it made sense for the project to have one testing session and release in a single update for 4.89 but that meant it a bit of delay for the deployment since proper testing needed to be conducted with v1.2 features. However in that time period a Russian Scene site had found someone else's re-implementation (they forget to mention that) and patched worked together a toolset that looked like the real thing but it was hardly bguerville's original toolset nor did it offered the safety/quality or feature set of the real release.

There have been various changes in v1.2004 but the much anticipated File Manager & xRegistry Editor will still be rolled out in a future update that will arrive soon after some theming issue's are sorted. To quote developer @bguerville about the new features in this update the developer states "there is a few new features to play with other than 4.89 support, like some memory patching options including HAN, memory dumping, extended system information details and syscon error logs. Afaik the issue that led to crashes on page load on certain setups should be fixed" Additional details can be seen in the tabs below .

    The Toolset 1.2 roll out is completed, you can check it out at the usual ** www.** ** www.ps3xploit.net > D... (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com)/bgtoolset.
    Use at your own risk, as always.

    Many of the 1.2 changes are behind the scenes however there is a few new features to play with other than 4.89 support, like some memory patching options including HAN, memory dumping, extended system information details and syscon error logs. Afaik the issue that led to crashes on page load on certain setups should be fixed.

    The file manager tool remains inaccessible for the time being, so does the xRegistry Editor, sorry about that, I haven't had time to finish all the theming work and didn't want to make users in need of 4.89 jailbreak wait any longer, those features will get enabled in a future roll out, soon.

    I wish to extend our collective thanks to all donators, on behalf of the community, the hosting renewal target has been reached and the project public access is set to remain open in October. In coming weeks, esc0 and I will be discussing our options in regard to a hosting merge for the 2 ps3xploit domains.

    I sincerely believe that it would be in the community's best interests to setup a community hosting project for the long term, we would actually surrender the collected donations in order to join such a hosting solution if it came to be, you guys all need to give this some serious thought if you want to avoid this last minute scrambling situation to repeat itself over and over with all the online services you are depending on at the risk of losing them altogether.

    What we really need at this point, more than anything else, is a couple of trustworthy volunteers ready to take care of a hosting project funded by the community..

    Btw notice in the attached ss the difference between boot count and shutdown count, 1600 crashes for 7000 boots. Poor test console, panics a lot.. LOL

    With my usual thanks to @esc0rtd3w for his dedication and patience testing my work.

    Info Update
    I forgot to mention.

    Here's the memory patch file JSON syntax:

    {"0":{"offset":0x88888888,"pvalue":1,"ovalue":0}, "1":{"offset":0x77777777,"pvalue":1,"ovalue":0}, etc....}

    You should number each patch from 0, offset is self explanatory, it's the 32bit memory offset where you want to apply a patch, pvalue is the 32 bit value you wish to write to the offset, ovalue is the 32bit value you wish to restore when removing the patch.
    That system implies that the original value is fixed and you can predict it, restoring values that change all the time is not currently possible...

    I use the first 4 chars of the file as magic I could not be bothered writing an algo to scrub the white spaces & deal with single quotes at the time, I will do it at some point but for now, you must not use spaces in the first 4 characters AND you must use double quotes, no single quotes...​

  • 1.2.004 changes log:

    Userland Memory Manager v1.2
    * added memory patching preset options for HAN & Debug pkg
    * added memory patching through prepared files (using JSON syntax)

I was trying to say that for me it worked and it didn't cause any problems but I don't encourage anyone to try it as from another thread someone bricked their system.
i am saying that you are encouraging other people by saying that it worked. you may not be recommend it, but you are encouraging it inadvertently.

Stop being assholes. Devs don't owe you anything and even if a new release comes out....the only* thing you should be doing is donating to this masterpiece of jailbreaking work and be thankful and give respect!

exactly they do all this for free infact they pay money out of there own pockets
 
Yep, it's free so we should all be grateful we ever had it.

I would of course be very grateful if it came back.

Do we have any updates?
 
Hi just want to reiterate the risk of using unofficial source of bgtoolset... I wasn't able to create my account until today so this happened a couple of months ago.

I tried to use the one by the Russians... yes I know it was my own risk but I was too impatient and paid the price. It froze mid flash patch and then when rebooted has completely bricked. Not that it's relevant it was Slim CECH-2503B date code 0C. Going to use it for parts now. If this message puts at least one person off using a fake mirror I'm happy.

Stay safe everyone and cheers bguerville for the amazing work :)
 
Noob here sitting on 4.88 OFW on a cech-2001b and wanting CFW of course. I'm in no hurry but I know I saw it yesterday somewhere when I was doing research on all this, but can't seem to find it now. There was a thread regarding how to donate to these fine folks, could someone link me to it please and thank you? Apologies if this isn't an appropriate post for this thread.

Hopefully the official bg toolset will be back online soon! Thank you @bguerville for all your hard work! We all look forward to using your updated toolest again when it's ready! I know I will be donating when it does!
 
Please Mr Bguerville, come back to us, we all miss the official toolset. Otherwise we are left to the mercy of dodgy Russian clone sites and as we all know, that's not good! When it's back online here's what I'm going to do, every time I use the toolset I will donate 1 pound. I use the toolset a lot so it will add up. If everyone else does the same then when crap goes down like illegal take over of site, Mr Bguerville and the rest of the team will have the financial resources to deal with it. LONG LIVE CUSTOM FIRMWARE, LONG LIVE THE BG TOOLSET!
