UPDATE (OCT. 11 2018) - With the release of OFW 4.83 portions of PS3Xploit have been patched, The team is looking at workarounds, STAY ON 4.82, DO NOT UPDATE TO 4.83 AT THIS TIME:
IMPORTANT UPDATE (MARCH-2019) v3.0.1 was released providing support for 4.84 HFW (a new hybrid firmware that restores PS3Xploit for 4.84 OFW user's (See Link to HFW)
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_Tools_v2.jpg


PS3Xploit 2.0 Tools Now LIVE!!

  • 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.)

    Which PS3Xploits Tools are Compatible with my PS3 Console?

    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


  • FLASH Dumper's Help


    • PS3 4.xx NAND/NOR/EMMC FLASH DUMPER v2.0
      All PS3 models supported
      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.

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?
it is recommended to always take a dump before flashing anything to your console. That way worst case scenario you have a clean backup to restore if all goes bad. If you didnt there is still a possibility to recover.

As the patch only overwrites CoreOS data, the dump prior to patching is not extremely useful in most cases either with v1 or v2.

On v1, the dump after patching is not useful either because the shutdown ensures that the patch was fully applied & if something went wrong you cannot dump anyway because you cannot start the console anymore.

However on v2, the dump after patching is most important. It allows users to verify that the patching was done properly.
If the dump validation fails, you can double check your steps & files then reapply some patch to avoid any brick situation.

It's fine. One ros gets corrupted in the process, safe to install cfw
 
cheers just read back a few posts, I only flashed with v1 yesterday morning and never did a dump , so can now just do a dump now using v2 cheers
 
What about peoples who use small Web server ("miniweb.exe") on pc or smartphone?
Ver 2.0 should also be compatible with it?
Currently this file is not in the archive.

We are not providing any Web server application with the tools archive anymore, users should make their own choices regarding the Web server solution they wish to rely on. If setting up a server is too bothersome then use **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new).

Regarding miniweb, be warned that the HDD editions of the 2.0 dumper & writer will not work properly when you try to download a jpeg picture file.
Am not exactly sure why the file download request fails tbh, il assume it's permission related but I have not investigated the problem to confirm.

There is also a chance that someone can make a guide with list of preferred apps (to make web server), etc.
For me setting up a server is not bothersome, it's just safer (more stable),
than using my "lagging" internet access.

You mean "dump.jpg" in dumper and "flash_482.jpg" in writer?
I can only view "dump.jpg" without a problem in Win XP and Mint 18.3.
"flash_482.jpg" cannot be loaded with none of my default picture viewer.

BTW thanks again @bguerville for help and additional information's.

dump.jpg is a picture file serving as placeholder.
flash_482.jpg is just a renamed flash_482.hex file therefore not a picture at all.

I was saying that miniweb won't respond successfully to the jpeg file download request from the ps3 browser, for one reason or another. On the other hand, the python server we use for development does not have any problems with serving those jpg files to the ps3 browser.
Like I said I did not investigate further.

Hello friend, excellent work you are doing.
But I have a problem with this xploit, the screen remains black when loading some games and I have already selected the BD emulator option but this does not solve it. I await your help response and thank you in advance.

If you rebooted & installed a CFW successfully after using the ps3xploit flash writer, you don't need ps3xploit support but CFW/homebrew support. In this case, you should create a new thread & give details about your current CFW, used homebrews.. to get further help.

On windows I had very good results with Fenix server during tests. It's lighweight and very easy to setup : https://github.com/coreybutler/fenix/releases

"flash_482.jpg" cannot be loaded with none of my default picture viewer.

Normal.
dump.jpg is a real jpg image file. Once downloaded on the console, the content of that file will be overwriten with your flash memory data during dump. Then you'll have to copy the
dump.jpg from your console to your PC and rename it as dump.hex.

flash_482.jpg is flash_482.hex renamed with jpg extention. So it's a fake jpg image only to alow to transfer patch data to PS3 internal HDD. That's why you can't load it as an image and why the PS3 see it as damaged data.
 
And btw we have also noticed during testing that downloading a picture file using a link seems to freeze Dpad, ie it won't move browser focus anymore, only the analog stick still works fine. Not sure why this happens or even if it happens on all fw/browser versions...
 
Can't get super slim 4201a to dump. Local hosting tried the differt html files. Cleared cookies, etc...
Shows usb found at a location the with numbers and letters. Then a bunch of not founds. The found then not. After it finishes it says failed.
Was going to try and contribute.

The nand & emmc dumpers are using a very big js stack frame string to achieve the 239x1Mb read operations necessary to extract the flash data to RAM.
As a result, the js string is trickier to locate in memory due to the increased memory range it can be found in, consequently the exploit initialization success rate is lower than in all the other tools.
You need to close/open the browser to try again but it will eventually initialize.
1. You must set the exploit page as homepage.
2. With nand/emmc dumpers, don't refresh the page or try again without reloading, if the initialization fails, close the browser & open it again.

If you have the same problems initializing the idps dumper or the nor dumper (without triggering it of course) however then something in the steps you follow is wrong somehow. Those should initialize fine on most attempts.

And btw if you don't want to see the Debug output on screen, you can edit the first line of the ps3xploit_v20.js file to change.
Code:
var debug=true;
to
Code:
var debug=false;

when i run the ipds dumper xploit, it initializes, and when i try to dump ipds to usb my ps3 freezes. If somebody can help me that would be great
 
I often see, that after the exploit successfully patches the flash, and the system is restarted, the file system gets corrupted or something. It's asking you to confirm the file system check and restore. What is the right thing to do here?
