PS3 Please add support for OFW 4.89

Also donated some bucks as promised. Thanks for clearing up the whole situation to everyone and thank you for your great work. ^^
 
I recommend the devs to show us how much money needed to pay for the next 3 years plan, and how much money left.

This will kinda make people excited more to donate.

There is no such plan. The money is just used to pay for hosting to keep the site up. Other than that it's just porting the existing exploits to new firmware versions as they show up.
 
I will donate, But due to bills , it will be next week. I'm happy to donate as used toolset before and got another PS3 I need to do, so more than happy to give what I can..

Not exactly.

The donations reached the target set for hosting renewal so the Toolset will remain accessible online for another 3 years.

But the project just keeps going independently from the hosting issues and donations, it will get updated as I go along, no matter what and users will get new features as long as the hosting is secure and the attacks don't get overwhelming.

Here are the 2 things users can expect until the October renewal deadline anyway:
1. the file manager tool
2. the xRegistry editor feature

At that point, I will set the Toolset aside temporarily and go back to exploitation work with lv1 as a target and it might be some time before the Toolset gets another update.
I already have a lv2 exploit (different from HEN) ready so if I manage to defeat lv1, the Toolset will get a new tool which will serve as full standard Mamba payload loader, the same kernel payload that's used on CFW.
That's the next objective anyway, and after that, well, IF ever I am successful with lv1, I will finally turn my attention to lv0ldr, lv0 and syscon with a view to make a CFW installer for all models, which is in some way the holy graal of my private project. LOL

Like I said since day 1, the Toolset is a long term private project, a journey of sorts, to build exploitation skills, to me it doesn't really matter how long it may take with limited free time, 1 more year, 2 more years, or more, the important is the journey.

Great work again and great to see ps3xploit / BG Toolset back online.

just confirming if this is expected: ** ** www.ps3xploit.net > Domain no Longer owned by team** (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com) > Domain no Longer owned by team** (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com is redirecting to ** www.** ** www.ps3xploit.net > D... (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com)/bgtoolset/ - Is this as expected? Thanks

Yes it is expected, there's nothing at domain root level except a redirection to the bgtoolset folder index page.

So

http://** ** www.ps3xploit.net > D... by team** (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com
** www.** ** www.ps3xploit.net > D... by team** (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com
https://** ** www.ps3xploit.net > ... by team** (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com
** www.** ** www.ps3xploit.net > D... by team** (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com)

are all redirected to

** www.** ** www.ps3xploit.net > D... (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com)/bgtoolset
 
Great to see it's back up.
I'm slightly lost though.
It says it supports OFW 4.89 which is awesome.
However the flash dumper still says 4.88.
Which is correct?

Also I currently have 4.89 with HEN installed.
Do I need to flash OFW back over it or can I just go to CFW using the normal process?

Thanks in advance!

You need to post some screenshots to illustrate your report otherwise it's hard to guess what you mean exactly.

I develop on Rebug 4.84 (as I require switching between CEX and DEX all the time), I don't test on newer firmwares myself but esc0 tested this release extensively, including on a HFW 4.89 console with HEN, he dumped, verified dumps and patched to install a CFW many times, he didn't report any such confusion, he could always have missed something of course, it can happen, there are so many testing procedures involved before a release, it takes hours and concentration can go up and down at times.
Post a screenshot first so as to clarify the situation, but better be cautious, there's no point in rushing, don't proceed with anything you had planned until I tell you it's safe to do so.

Hello bguerville, thank you for the prompt response.
The website says 4.89 but as you can see the flash tools link at the top say 4.88

As it's not my PS3 I'm trying to jailbreak I wanted to make sure that it was simply that the link text hadn't been updated.
Yes, as you can see I'm being as cautious as possible, I've not even stepped into the dump phase until I was certain the information was correct! :)

Thanks again for everything!

Oh, that's nothing, you can safely ignore it, the **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) website is managed by esc0, not by me, that text may need updated, I am not sure, but it's only a link to an old project that works only on HFW, not to the PS3 Toolset.
There should be a link dedicated to the bgtoolset in that toolbar menu, but anyway you don't need any link, the Toolset is accessible on ** ** www.ps3xploit.net > Domain no Longer owned by team** (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com) > Domain no Longer owned by team** (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com, 4.89 is supported.
