---

dI will start this off with NO you can not jailbreak your PS3 SuperSlim Console's (seems to be a popular question), however that does not mean the Ps3Xploit Team, (bguerville, esc0rtd3w, habib & W), has not been hard at work, with this new release of Ps3Xploit v2.0.. In this release all the tools (IDPS Dumper, Flash Dumper & Flash Writer) have seen significant improvements and now performing the task such as installing a Custom Firmware on your 4.82 OFW PS3 (with flash writer) has been made even easier and very stable thanks to the team's new checks implemented and progression of the exploit. The Flash and IDPS dumper are also much improved. All the details are provided below please read all the spoiler and tabs before asking any questions.

PS3Xploit 2.0 Tools Now LIVE!!​

Ps3Xploit 2.0 Release >> IMPORTANT DETAILS << FLASH DUMPER TOOL FLASH WRITER IDPS DUMPER

• 
  
  Included Tools​
  • 4.XX IDPS DUMPER
  • 4.XX FLASH DUMPER (USB Edition)
  • 4.XX FLASH DUMPER (HDD Edition)
  • 4.82 NOR/NAND WRITER (USB Edition)
  • 4.82 NOR/NAND WRITER (HDD Edition)
  Ps3Xploit Tools Changelogs​
  v2.0
  
  • Freeze issues - Fixed
  • Occasional bad dumps - Fixed
  • No beeps & shutdown. Replaced by a graceful ROP chain exit & return to browser. This gives the opportunity to the user to dump after patching & validate the dump with littlebalup's py checker. As long as the user does not shutdown/restart, it's still possible to recover from bad patching.
  • Support for usb port 0,1,6 + sd/cf/ms cards.
  • Multi firmware support on all dumpers (4.10+) & DEX support on 4.81.
  • HDD editions for all dumpers & flash writer where a picture file placeholder is used for read/write operations.
  • Javascript refactoring for performance & efficiency.
  • **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) will host the 2.0 update, no need for 3rd party sites.
  
  v1.0 (Thanksgiving 2017 Release)
  
  • Supports Direct OFW to CFW patching for All Phat and 2xxx Slim (minver 3.56 Dec 2010 and lower)
  • the NOR/NAND writer will just copy 3Mb of CoreOS data to both ros0 & ros1 in the flash memory.
  • There is only one version released for 4.82. The same hex patch file can be used on nor & nand.
  • It's as safe as possible, with a check for usb device & patch file making the exploit hang instead of corrupting flash if file is not found.
  • In case of corruption (extremely rare but could always happen), it's only a partial brick because no per console info ever gets erased so a hardware flasher could still be used if ever a recovery reboot was impossible

  Frequency Asked Questions​
  
  Will this jailbreak my SuperSlim?
  
  • NO,The Flasher Writer Tool is not Supported on the SuperSlim and a some very late Slim models, Howeever, PS3Xploit has a strong possiablity to eventually evolve into a HEN style exploit (that aspect will take some additional development.)

  Warning: Known Limitation
  
  • Due to the lack of proper checks after exiting the ROP chain, it is possible in some cases to obtain a success message despite an operation failure. For instance, if you choose a path where no device is plugged in, a dumper page will still display a success message despite the fact the dump save could not work. This limitation has already been addressed, the added operation checks will be part of an update to these PS3Xploit tools which will be released in the coming weeks, that update will be final, no more will come after it

    All 4.10+ CEX CFW/OFW supported
    4.81 DEX CFW/OFW supported
    
    IMPORTANT NOTES:
    
    • It's essential not to flood the browser memory with junk before running the exploit. The reason for this is that due to javascript core memory usage limitations we are scanning several times a small range of browser memory (a few Mb) to find some essential data in RAM, if the memory is flooded then the range to scan becomes much larger & the probabilities that our data is found in the smaller range decrease dramatically....
    • So in short, never use the browser or use a homepage you cancel before running the exploit!
    • It is recommended to set your homepage temporarily to the exploit page you wish to use to ensure there is no memory flooding messing with the exploit initialization stage.
    Steps:
    
    1. Open the browser & browse to the **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) website, go to the page of the exploit you need. Set the current page as browser homepage. Don't launch the exploit initialization. Close the browser.
    2. Open the browser. The exploit page will load automatically. Choose your dump path option.
    3. Press the exploit initialization button & wait until initialization succeeds. If it fails, follow the refresh/reload instructions on screen.
    4. Trigger the exploit by pressing the dump button.
    5. On success, validate your dump with the py checker tool.

Good news and good job all team ps3xploit buddy!!

 

Wowwwww emmc dumper now thats something ill be testing for sure.
Now we will be waiting for new tutorial files lol (take your time im kidding).

 

Guys just dumped my emmc cant completely validate my dump because there is no emmc dump checker but i searched my idps and found it in the dump and also i saw a text string called EID so im guessing thats my EID key so amazing now we have info about emmc dumps thanks guys

Wow amazing thanks

 

Awesome, looking great!
I have only had a look at the new one, need more OFW consoles (or go back to OFW) to test

I read a little in the FAQ as well and just got an idea:
I was just wondering if it could be possible to QA flag while on OFW. I don't know much about QA flagging and it sure enough isn't necessary since one could always install a current CFW and QA flag after.
But if that would not be too much work (or if you or anyone in the team is getting bored and needs more work or wants to add a feature) that would be nice

It would just look nice if the exploit page said "any (CEX) CFW can be installed after running the exploit"

Unfortunately it's not that simple or I would already have implemented it.
Most QA toggle operations are currently feasible however if you looked at the available toggle_qa code you would see that both lv1 peek/poke & lv2 peek/poke are used, which makes it impossible to implement in ps3xploit without first defeating the kernel protection & installing our own peek/poke functions.

 

so now we can dump all nand/nor and emmc and do exploit from variant paths usb and from internal hdd right ??

Yes.

Thanks for clarifying. I think i wouldn't really understand much if I looked at the code.
It was just an idea because I know you guys are deep in the exploit and I know when I'm deep into something I may not come up with nearby ideas

Anyway looking into this would be way too much effort for something when an easy workaround already exists

Now next step is 3k & 4k model's hen exploit, then ps4, then rule the world
(No pressure )
I have a feeling you're on the right way

 

I think the faq on the new ps3xploit website is not accurate . The dumper page tell me nand and emmc can be dumped but the faq tell me it's not supported.

The new ps3xploit 2.0 can't be downloaded like previous version ?

You are correct, the FAQ & the instructions are not accurate anymore.
They were made for 1.0 not 2.0.
I am currently drawing up updated instructions & faq, I was meant to do that yesterday before 2.0 went live but something else came up & I could not.
As to the individual files to run the exploit locally, they are available on **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new).
I will add links in this forum too.

 

fixing FAQ

 

is it better to host the files locally or to use the new website ?

 

local will usually run best IMO...website works fine when not hammered by traffic

 

is it better to host the files locally or to use the new website ?

Locally always runs best imo as long as setup correctly.
If you use the website, you should not browse to the exploit page you need then initialize the exploit. If you do, the browser heap memory will have been filled already with stuff from previous loaded pages & it will have a negative impact on initialization success rate.

Instead, you could browse to the exploit page you need, set it as homepage temporarily, close the browser, open it again & then use the exploit. The same drill as when running the exploit locally basically ...

 

Exactly as previous release then. Good thing to know.

 

First post updated and placed on front page.

Team Exploit owes me dinner for this one lol

@esc0rtd3w I changed your first post a bit ;p

NICE Work BTW guys

 

Guys just dumped my emmc .... also i saw a text string called EID so im guessing thats my EID key so amazing now we have info about emmc dumps thanks guys

EID (encrypted individual data) is the prefix used to name several regions/areas of the flash memory, there are 6 such regions EID0 to EID5. Those 3 letters are likely to come up naturally at various locations in the flash memory but it's not your eid_root_key if that is what you meant. Currently eid_root_key requires lv1/lv2 peek/poke to be dumped afaik.

 

this is awesome, thank you for your work

 

Thaks to the exploit team for the effort avout v2!
I've got a question for both v1 and v2 of the apps: does it matter when to do dump, before or after installing the patch?
