@kozarovv @Joonie Is there another flag for this error I wonder? Or is PS3 counting number of crashes and shows this one every so often, because I get this sometimes, and not other times, even when I have crashed the ps3 in exact same way? If the PS3 is counting, where?

IIRC that error occurs when the console is restarted or shutdown without delete the file: /dev_hdd0/tmp/turnoff
It normally happens when the system crashes and you have to turn it off pressing the power button for 15 seconds or unplugging the power cord (a big no-no)
I think if you delete that file after boot, you won't get that message.

Are you on a NAND by any chance? I forgot to put in the info text that that option will only work on NOR. I do know a way to trigger that recovery menu on all console types, but it involves crashing system by calling a missing plugin, so not a good way to do it, although it works perfectly every time, and i suspect it does not cause any damage, its just a system panic due to file not existing.

I am not going to release it though, See the image above your post. a joke. :)

BTW: If you want to translate the Reload XMB item, or the Boot OtherOS title on XMB, you need to do it in the PARAM.SFO of the included packages.


EDIT: actually, you are right, there is an issue with that option even on NOR, thanks for report, i will check it out.

Hello! here I am again, I had a bit to look for the problem in the command to restart in recovery mode, it was a trivial typo!

I corrected it and now it seems to work, even if ......... I am not taken to the recovery menu but to the installation of a FW (obviously in recovery)! I don't know if this was wanted, but I think it would be better to be taken to the recovery menu, in order to have the possibility to restore the factory data and the formatting of the hdd0 ...

 
Yes, thanks, I saw that typo, its fixed in v1.05 which is back in this thread somewhere, v1.05 also has one that works on NAND too , its just not added to main resource yet.

That is normal about getting to recovery mode and not the menu, we cant get into the menu without a CFW patch unfortunately, so might not be possible or ever happen.
 
I missed v1.05, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time looking for the problem! :smile:anyway better this way! if it is not possible it does not matter! is already very good so! thank you!
 
Sorry about that, yeah, as v1.05 uses a missing rco trick to crash system to trigger recovery on NANDs, i was not sure about releasing it properly.

Also I know that recovery mode option is not so useful for most people so was not rushing to update it. I should though.

Yeah, for normal user thats fine, but that error saves me from soft bricks all the time, if you mess up any important modules while testing out experimental patches, that error stops the XMB from loading, and gives webman ftp time to start up so you can fix the offending file, its a handy tool in any XMB modders box. ;)
 
Hi guys
I expect this tool to be great. Can I install the Linux operating system into Boot OtherOS?
In fact I have a ps3 version 4.84 and I managed yesterday from Install HAN on PS3 on Firmware 4.84 Super Slim Jailbreak.
I was expecting an option like Boot OtherOS to install Linux but unfortunately I did not find this option. Can I use Power Options with HAN Or have to change the version of Firmware 4.84 Jailbreak Clarifying I'm just trying to install Linux so I can Please report on this Currency mining encrypted via GPU PlayStation 3 or Xbox One who has any idea to help I would be thankful to him

Hi, Unfortunately you can not install this, or any homebrew on a superslim. Also otherOS will not work on superslim, or any linux. Also it would not be worth mining any coins on a PS3, its too slow, difficulty is too high now. You might get a few cents every month, in a few years you might have enough cover transfer fees out of mining pool . :)

So sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but none of what you want to do is possible. Me or someone might release a HAN version of this someday, not sure.

Why is there a delete button in each option? Just curious.

You mean for OtherOS and reload xmb?

Those are installed apps, so you can remove them if you want from there, they are optional addons. That is just the options available for apps.

Wohoo without rubbing the lamp, can i have 3 wishes now ? :)

Devil was wondering if there is some place where it can be seen some of the files checked at boot that could change the boot modes
DeViL303 said:
We could probably find the list if we decrypted the right file, they are probably all referenced in one place. What file could possibly be checking for those do you think, where to look?
Click to expand...

Or in general... take a look at the options used in this latest versions of "CFW Power Options" and if you imagine something that could be added or improved just mention it
I was wondering if you had some notes about other files or some speculations that never was added or explained well in wiki

*I reserve the next 2 wishes as a wildcard to use them later with something related with XMB :D
 
Yeah, if we knew even the names of the boot flag files, like db.err, Even if we don't know the paths, we could use the brute force method of copying them to likely locations. :)
 
have found 2 other flag files:
/dev_hdd0/DeleteTrophyData.dat -> automatically deletes all trophies on reboot
/dev_hdd0/BackupRestoreState.dat -> force repair filesystem, but this file needs some additional "binary content" like "db.err", otherwise the hdd cannot be recognized and you are stuck if you do not delete this file via ftp. on the other hand, maybe this file gets created during filesystem repair, dunno

for recovery menu there is no flag on hdd, but I assume in eprom. maybe the value given in devwiki is wrong or even different offset? this should be similar to switch bootmode on dex, which you can do by writing to eprom

I'm interested in creating power options for OFW. The turnoff file will need to be researched a little more so we have a better understanding.

Hard reboot is possible, it's a parameter in the shutdown syscall: +syscall(sc_sm_shutdown,soft_reboot,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

Reload XMB is probably possible somehow, I haven't looked into it at all but it should be doable.

I have started something similar. You can base on this.
Tested on 4.84.2 HFW With HAN installed
