---

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 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.

    • USE ONLY ON 4.82 OFW
    
    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 ps3 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 due to previous browsing then the range to scan becomes much larger & the probabilities that our data is found in the smaller range decrease dramatically..

    Steps:
    
    For best results with flash writer, here are the recommended steps.
    

    1. Install OFW 4.82 twice on the console you wish to flash to avoid the potential corruption error during CFW installation.

Do NOT restart the console if ever the validation tool gives you errors/warnings on both ros0 & ros1 or you risk to partially brick your console. Report your problem instead.
    7. When you are satisfied with the dump validation, restart your console & install a 4.82 CFW.

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?

check & restore, it'll help prevent HDD corruption in the future & help the system run smoother. Of course you could always cancel it's up to you.

 

Ok the problem i was having was because of a my error..
Good job to all the team!

 

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.

var debug=true;

to

var debug=false;

Got it going now by setting homepage to local host. Thanks

 

Same thing also happened with v1

Are you're using the correct flash type for your console as well as the correct path for dumping?
v2.0 does not random freeze so if you experience a freeze with it, the problem is with your setup or your options.

 

Great work Ps3Xploit team!
Ordered a first model of the ps3 yesterday just to try it all out.
I'll probably also make an detailed and easy to understand tutorial give me about 1 week.
Update 2.0 seems like a great step forward, keep it up!
Superslims would be great, like everyone is saying.
But do not pay attention to the ones putting pressure on you/the team, do what you'd like to do first when you'd like to do it. Ya'll take time out your day & work on things that go above many people their level of knowledge. That alone is worth a medal!

 

Do you still need to code to enable package install?

 

Do you still need to code to enable package install?

It just patches not like e3 or progskeet and then user can install cfw
We have been working on 3k/4K stuff but our lack of vsh knowledge slows us down. But it's been good progress so far

 

Yes, i was talking about 3k/4k because you cannot install CFW at all there, but still enable pkg install and bypass ecdsa check on pkg's imo.

 

I tried the v.2.0 many times now, and every time the initializing is done, and as soon as im pressing the patch nor flash button, my ps3 freezes. I have the CHECH-2104A running OFW 4.82.

Really need help guys! im new to all this

Are you using HDD or USB method?

If your internet connection is good online should be fine.
Format your USB drive to fat32, copy the flash_482.hex to the root of it, connect it to the right USB port on the ps3 (closest to blue ray drive).
Check in xmb if the drive is recognized by the console (shown in photos menu).
Set nor exploit page as homepage in the browser.
Clear cache and restart the browser/ps3.
Check the box "/dev_usb000/flash_482.hex" and try again.

I just meant to look if the USB drive gets recognized by the ps3. You can check that by going to video, music or photo in the main menu.

not working at all for me. not even step 1. i go to psx place with ps3 than click on the dumper link but browser cant find the page. any help please??

Set exploit page to homepage, clear browser cache and restart browser or ps3.

Indeed we can.
We are working on something bigger...
It's self execution, we have some memory problems and soon it will be fixed

 

Worked on a friend's Phat and my Slim. Thank you

if patch is ok but check dump bad do you proceed with flash cfw or repeat patch?
