PS3 PS3Xploit - > "STAY ON 4.81 OFW IF YOU CAN! (PS3 2k5/3k/4k Models)" says habib

UPDATE MARCH 3 - 2018 via habib >>> LINK
The PS3Xploit Team (@bguerville / @esc0rtd3w / @habib / "W") have been putting in alot of time further developing the exploit since the discoveries found initially on 4.81 OFW by bguerville, Which first spawn tools like IDPS & Flash Dumper's followed then by Flash Writer Tool which allowed all pre-25XXv (fat/Slim) Consoles to install CFW from 4.82 OFW with no Hardware Modifications. Since those releases we have seen PS3Xploit updated to v2.0 also seen alot of documentation and action with various POC Examples provided by esc0rtd3w (& team) in the "WebKit ROP Chain Tutorials [Creation/Editiing/Debugging]" thread, The one thing that has been missing has been a useable exploit for those "unhackable models" and the team has had a desire with their exploit as an ideal window, the task takes alot of time and developing but progress is being made. There is still much work to be done but an interesting announcement comes to us from one of the PS3xploit developer's habib as he states "STAY ON 4.81 IF YOU CAN!(2k5/3k/4k)" , now its unclear what has been achieved and its not certain that it can not be ported to 4.82, but currently in the early stages habib gives us great news but also maybe some bad news (maybe), but again these details and the development is extremely early. More details coming soon stay tuned as things are looking to progress but please exercise patients!!!​

  Guys just an announcement.
  It's better if you guys stay at 4.81 ofw if you hope to take full advantage of future developments.
  i can't say why i want you guys to stay on this firmware but its for something good
  if you have 4.82 it doesn't mean the stuff cant be applied to you but it means not 100% of stuff will be capable for you ​
• 
  
  FOR THE TIME BEING, BETTER TO STAY ON 4.81 FOR ALL 3.60+ MINVER CONSOLES!!
  This applies to all late 25XX / 3XXX / and 4XXX 4.82 will work with limitations for upcoming developments .
  
  ok ppl, do not freak out about having 4.82....everything will be fine lol there may be some issues getting the current method 100% working with 4.82. that does not mean that nothing will ever work or that it wont work at some level and we didnt even say what its for yet lol​

@habib will it enable CFW installing or just homebrew? thanks
cuz im planning to buy one SuperSlim if it will allow CFW installing, but if just homebrew. i'd rather keep the older slim.

It's eventually gonna turn into a cfw but not now.(run browser every boot)
You can still run backups etc and all the fun stuff except stuff like running from disc icon, homebrew apps(work in progress atm)

 

Habib only said that if you have a non cfw compatible console, you may be better off remaining on 4.81 because it has more potential for goodies. THAT IS ALL.

Would everyone please listen to @STLcardsWS, usually the voice of reason, when he said to let this play out first before jumping to conclusions!

IF we ever get to jailbreaking 3xxx/4xxx, keep in mind that there are many months of development & obstacles to overcome still ahead of us. You must all understand that we currently use 2 exploits to own userland & we will need 2 or 3 more to get to full jailbreak. I will be totally upfront, those new exploits won't get pulled out of a hat, they will require much work & there is no guarantee the team will achieve everything it seeks to.
In any case, it's way way too early to know anything at all about future requirements of a project still under development.

And contrarily to what I read in a couple of posts, we don't owe anyone any more explanations regarding what we do.
Some people even posted that they "deserved" to know, so as a reminder to this unjustified sense of entitlement, here is the meaning of the verb 'to deserve' ie "do something worthy of a reward or punishment". Do I really need to elaborate further?
We are actively trying to find vulnerabilities to exploit and that's all the information we have to share at this time.

 

I have been lurking around on here for a while but decided to sign up finally.

I was one who read to go to 4.82 but I ain't mad. I usually miss out on exploits but from my understanding there will be at least some form of fun for my 3003b.

Just wanna thank you guys for the hard work you all put in for everyone.i see updates to the ps3xploit almost every day on Twitter and now Habib pops up with more exciting news. Very well done.

Everyone complaining that they were informed to update to 4.82, stop whining and winging about it. You don't even know what is coming yet and you're behaving like children. You don't pay tge Devs for doing and I would hazard a guess to say you have never paid a donation or anything to any of them either. Just be thank for what you have or may get.

I agree, I would not worry too much about it. Without knowing anything specifically about it the only difference I can see between 4.81 and 4.82 is that DEX FW is available for 4.81, so its not that big of a block long term, 4.82/4.83 DEX will come out eventually.

Also I could be wrong but I think that lots of files from 4.81 DEX would run on 4.82 as well. So maybe there is still hope with just what is currently available.

It's a fair assessment of the situation.
Remaining on 4.81 increases the potential compatibility for a hybrid setup.
Habib only wanted to let people know about it, if it was ever needed by the project & that's a big "if" at this stage.

Thank you so much for your time and using your resources to help us, on behalf of everyone I SALUTE team ps3exploit for sharing expensive information to us. Am currently on 4.82 superslim but I love the spirit of the team. Keep it up. We will be patient. From where I am a lot of people are waiting for the exploit I guess it's about 8500 miles away from USA. We love you

 

@habib @bguerville one more question would these superslim will also support ps2/psp emulation or iso support once full hack is available?

The day someone releases a full jailbreak, emulators should run just fine.

PSP yeah but ps2 is loaded just like another kernel...for ps2 that's finding exploit in the emu itself lol

Currently i have some psp iso converted to pkg,
And also some ps2 iso converted to pkg,
(i prefer to launch it directly on xmb, rather mounting each iso)
These converted games are working on my slim nonBC console using rebug with cobra payload.

In 3k and 4k ps4, you said that ps2 is loaded just like another kernel, does it mean, it works differently compared to my console i mentiond above? Or it works the same once we are able to install cobra powerd cfw on these 3k and 4k?

Sorry for being a noob, but anyway thanks for insights.

 

Yes ps2emu replaces the lv2 kernel, it's the same with all ps3 consoles from phat to superslim.
Ps2 emu self files are not game self, they are guestOS. When launched, the lv2 kernel is unloaded, lv2 functions & syscalls become therefore inaccessible & of course any kernel hack previously installed as part of a henkaku style jailbreak also gets destroyed.

As to iso support for backup managers for instance, it should work via rawseciso.sprx if a full JB is achieved..

 

we want donate for uguys

 

Actually I thought about the ps2 thing again. The pkg format should work when we get lv2 and lv1 exploit because then we can actually skip rap/rif ecdsa from vsh

 

we can actually skip rap/rif ecdsa

rap/rif/*act.dat ecsda. For local licence there is also check for act.dat as far as i know.

Edit: Lol, doesn't matter. act.dat will be legit..

Well Yes, but only if users get their PSN account set up and the PS3 activated before new FW comes out I think. So should superslim/3k users be advised to do that now too while they still can?

 

Sure. Is good to have console activated, even if later psn will be not needed for them.

That's in vsh too lol. Actually we might be able to bypass it using rop but I doubt because we can't really control at the time of exec because text section is rx only and not rwx

 

omggg i updated to 4.82 what can i do can i downgrade or something

You currently cannot downgrade a non cfw compatible console (3xxx/4xxx). If you could, there would have been no point for habib to suggest remaining on 4.81 in the first place.
We already explained that it may ultimately not matter at all so there is no point worrying at this stage.

so ... after this tool is complited I might still be able to jailbreak my ps3?
