Definitive Guide to installing PsGroove

The guide will be updated as more ports of PsGroove are released.
<b>Some of the guides are incomplete(No Download Links not Numbered etc etc I hope to have the thread fully done by Friday and will update until this gets patched or other stuff.)So yeah dont complain.</b>
I recommend consulting Rydian's FAQ to enable Backup Support.
I recommend installing the stealth backup manager I will not supply it and will not help you find it if you ask you will be ignored.
Even if you use the stealth backup manager is used you may still be detected and banned from psn.

<img src="http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1379/ti84ps3jb.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />

With the release of 0.06.0001 the calculator hack has evolved into a wonderful application worthy of Ti-84 users that don't even have a ps3. The file is available here -> <a href="http://brandonw.net/ps3jb/" target="_blank">http://brandonw.net/ps3jb/</a>

Guide supplemental:

<b>New features and instruction:</b>
<u>Hook mode</u>
Desc: Hook mode makes it so the jailbreak will work even if the application isn't turned on.

Instructions:
Do steps 0-15 above.
16. Apps -> PS3JB
17. Push 2 for install. That's it.

Note: You'll have to uninstall this when ever you wish to modify the Ti-84's data. Other wise it'll see the calculator as a USB Hub and fail to link up.

<u>Payload</u>
Desc: This will allow the use of a payload. A payload is data that the program can forward in place of it's own activation code. Basically this means that the user can use the newest version of the Ti-84 Jailbreak with the newest Hermes without waiting for someone to compile them together. Google "HERMESv2 Payload" etc to find the payload since I'm not entirely sure if I can post links to it here.

When loading the PS3JB to the Ti-84, also put the payload files (They have a .8xv extension) onto the calculator. You can do this even if you've already put PS3JB on the calculator (Version 5 and up).

1. Apps -> PS3JB
2. Push 5 for options.
3. Change Stage 1 Payload to HERMESv2 (Or what ever Hermes you want to use)
4. Push Y= to save
5. To exit, push 2ND and then MODE

<u>Shutdown</u>
Desc: Normally the calculator shuts down after 5 minutes of inactivity. This option (added in v6) changes that.
1. Apps -> PS3JB
2. Push 5 for options.
3. Scroll down to "Turn off after:"
4. This is in seconds, I suggest 30 since that's how long it takes to JB the ps3.
5. Push Y= to save
6. To exit, push 2ND and then MODE

<u>Alt Firmware</u>
Desc: A little bit future proofing, a little bit reverse compatibility. This lets you load a firmware support optional. If you're on an earlier firmware this is your salvation. I have no idea how to use this since I'm on the 3.41 firmware.
<b>Blackcat USB</b>
<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3114/2724423498_c1ae1ecb11.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Download:http://hotfile.com/dl/67801318/9525cf9/New_WinRAR_archive.rar.html and Flip Software (Preferably 3.3.1) the rar archive contains an already hex edited compiled source and the backup manager.

First, you gotta put the Blackcat USB in DFU mode by flipping both switches to the 1 and 2 positions.

Push the button on the board, if it shows up as AT90USB162 on your Device Manager, you are in the DFU mode.

Open Flip and select target device AT90USB162.

Now go into Settings and select a communication medium, choose USB. Your Blackcat’s info should show up.

Go to File, hit Load Hex File, and choose the Teensy 1.0 hex file.

Erase, Blank Check it, and write the Hex file onto the chip.
Hit the verify button to make sure it went through ok, if so just hit the “Start Application” button.

Load the Manager.pkg onto the external drive. (Formatted FAT32)

Go to your PS3 and do a complete power cycle. (Turn off completely with switch on back.)

Plug in your Blackcat USB, turn on the switch in back.

Power on your PS3 and hit the eject button immediately. (This is the part most people mess up.)

If you did it right, you will have two folders on your XMB. One that says “Install Package Files” and another “/app_home/PS3_GAME/”.

Plug in your USB drive with the Manager.pkg file. You should now see it in the “Install Package Files” folder. Run it. You should now have Package Manager installed.

Install your original PS3 game and run Package Manager. It will ask you whether you want to load it or back it up. Back it up!

After a few minutes you’ll have a copy of the game showing up. Select it and it will load it to the XMB menu.

Hit the game icon and you can now start enjoying the backup copy of your PS3 game.

TUT (im stealing some of it from taiowiki)
First, download and install the microchip software.
After you have it installed, you should have a menu created something like: MicroChip ->MCHPFSUSB v1.3 in your windows menu bar. Please also remember the install location of this package, as you need to install drivers later. Reboot your machine. (i didnt have to)
Now, open the TIAOTIAO 360 USB SPI interfaceSPI interface package, use the jumper to short the BL pins as shown below:

Set interface in bootloader mode


Then, connect it to your PC using a mini USB cable (comes with almost all digital camera):

Connect to PC


You will see the PWR light is on, and you should also hear a beep from you pc indicating a new hardware is found.
Following the following screensscreens to install MiroChip USB Driver:

Found new hardware wizard



Select a specific location for the deriver



Select the MicroChip USB Driver


The driver is located in your MicroChip USB package installation, as shown in above picture.

Driver specified


After you have specified the location of microchip driver, click Next to install the driver.
Once your driver is installed, unplug the USB cable, and re-plug it in, then run PDFSUSB.exe to load the firmware to PIC:

Run PDFSUSB to load the firmware


Run the PDFSUSB tool from your start menu. Select the only option in the drop down menudrop down menu and click load HEX button:

ok this is were i take over
browser to were you downloaded the hex file and load it a error window should pop up just click cancel then click load hex file it should say erasing chip or somethin and then say complete if not make sure your in bootloader mode or try it again if it says complete then unplug it switch the pins to normal mode

plug it back in your computer if windows says generic usb hub then your done

oh and yes you can still use this to jtag xboxes just reflash it again not that hard

<b>Atmel USB</b>
<img src="http://electronics-diy.com/schematics/762/usbasp_print.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />


Just go to the official download site for PSGroove <a href="http://github.com/psgroove/psgroove" target="_blank">http://github.com/psgroove/psgroove</a> and download the PS Groove HEX file, psgroove.hex

<b>Device Firmware Upgrade</b>

When you received your very own AtMel USB PCB Controller, the first thing to do is to load the HEX file into the on-chip flash memory of your microcontroller. The “Flip” Software is the tool been used to upgrade the device firmware (you can get it for free at USB CD-ROM or Atmel Website).

You must follow these steps carefully and should be completed to allow the device starting DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode and then it will load the HEX file:

1. Install Flip software (Flip Version 3.0 or above is required).
2. Push the RST (Reset) button.
3. Connect the board to the PC using the USB Cable (Standard Ato Mini B)
4. Push the HWB (Hardware Bootloader) button.
5. Release the RST button.
6. Release the HWB button.
7. If your hardware conditions explained above are correct, a new device detection wizard will be displayed. This will happen if you are using Flip for the first time. Please follow the instructions (the INF file is located in the USB sub directory from Flip installation: (“install path:\ATMEL\FLIP\FLIPx.x.x\usb”)

<b>New Device Detection Wizard
</b>
Now, on your PC screen, the New Device Detection Wizard will automatically open.

Select “Install from a specific location (Advanced)” and click on Next>
Select “Search for the best drivers in this locations.” and click on “Include this location in the search:”. Now Browse to the path C:\Program Files\ATMEL\FLIP 2.4.2\usb and click on Next>

Then, check your Device Manager. There should be a new icon with the description AT90USBxxx (where xxx is the number of your USB PCB Controller). If there is no icon show, you must start the procedure again.
Ok, now your Device is in DFU Mode. Launch the program Flip to proceed with the flashing process.

Click the chip-icon in the upper left corner and select your device from the up-poping list.
Now click on the USB-Cable icon in the upper left corner to select the communication mode. Select “USB”. In the up-poping window click on “Open” to open the communication port.
Now click on “File” “Load HEX File…” and browse to your ready psgroove.hex file.
Now Load the HEX File (in the Operations Flow Tab Check Erase,Program and Vertify,then Push Run button) A window will pop-up that shows the processes.
After all the processes are done click on the “Start Application” button in the right down corner.

The AT90USB boot loader will detach and jump into the user application when “Start Application” button is pressed.

Congratulations, now your very own PS Jailbreak clone is ready (It is without the Backup Manager support though)

PS: I know this tutorial is not perfect, will update it when neccessary. Thanks to grecomafioso for this.

<b>Getting those backups onto your External a hassle eh? Follow the instructions below and you'll never have to worry again.</b>
<b>For isos(non PSJailbreak ready):</b>
A. Extract the file. ISO with WinRar
B. Open the file. ISO with UltraISO or a similar program
C. Extract all the contents to a folder named as the "identification" of the game itself
D. Copy the folder (with game ID name), with all its contents extracted in the directory "Gamez" in HDD
E. Open the game with Backup Manager (obviously taking PSJaillbreak)
<b>For PSJailbreak friendly backups:</b>
For use with a jailbroken PS3 and backup manager. Simply copy the extracted
GAMEIDGOESHERE folder to your backup manager "GAMEZ" folder on your external
device. No files larger than 4GB.
<b>Transferring games from external or computer to internal hard drives</b>
You can use the ftp server tool to transfer the games over your network or you can use Comgenie’s Awesome Filemanager! to transfer from any device plugged into your ps3.
<b>Which Backup Manager should I use?</b>
I suggest the Open backup manager.If you are really paranoid you can probably use the Stealth Backup Manager if it makes you feel safe.
Open Manager has more features then the regular Backup Manager and also has support for Hermes Payload of PsGroove.

DISCLAIMER
<b>The process written by Cyan may be resigning, recrypting or only swapping keys/signatures inside the elf.

Thanks to the new released keys, PSX scene user "Veritas?" released a tutorial on how to decrypt eboot.bin from 3.50+ games (like NFS or GT5), and replace the encrypted data in order to be used on 3.41 Jailbreaked fw.

<b>Confirmed working :</b>
NFS
Tales of Gace F
GT5 (currently only USA version)

I can't link to the topic, they are linking to many retail / recrypted eboot files.

but here is his tutorial :

<!--QuoteBegin-"Veritas?"+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE("Veritas?")</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->I've actually written this a few times and promptly lost it due to browser instability. Oops.

Anyway, this guide requires you to have some knowledge of how the SELF and ELF file formats are laid out. I don't have a quick tool to do this for me, but it takes maybe 5 minutes of my time to do it by hand.

1. Open EBOOT.BIN in a hex editor of your preference.
2. In EBOOT.BIN, look at the SELF control info, if you see anything resembling the game titleid, it's an NPDRM SELF and this guide won't work, give up.
3. Use readself on EBOOT.BIN to get information about the encrypted metadata sections.
4. unself EBOOT.BIN eboot.elf
5. Open eboot.elf in a hex editor of your preference.
6. In eboot.elf, go to every encrypted metadata section (now decrypted), copy its data, and replace the encrypted data in EBOOT.BIN.
7. In EBOOT.BIN, change SELF header to indicate it's FSELF.
8. In EBOOT.BIN, change SELF section headers that are marked as encrypted to say they are not encrypted.
9. If the game is a newer SDK version (like GT5, which is 3.50), in EBOOT.BIN, find the .sys_proc_param segment and change the SDK version to something earlier, such as 3.41. This will probably cause crashes in games that actually use newer SDK features that are not available in earlier SDK versions.
10. Save EBOOT.BIN
11. Cross fingers, run game, hope it works.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

</div>
Now you've got your handy PSJailbreak installed and know how to get those "Backups" onto your hard drive there's nothing left to do except to play them.

If you have questions please post them me or the community will be glad to help.

BlackCatUSB should use the same file as Teensy 1.0 (well, I think, because they are usually tags together and use the same chipset).
did you look here : http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/PS3_Jailbreaking_Devices_List ?
I'm trying to maintain that list, but sometime some links become dead.

I updated the list with Hermes V4 and few recent PL3.


Note for rockbox fimrwares :

You can have multiple firmware on your device and retain all the music and USB functionnality on first boot.
Then, using the file explorer on your device, you can load any .ipod file to run the new firmware.
that way, you can have :

.rockbox/rockbox.ipod

I'm looking for nice covers and smooth interface.
Either Gaia 1.02 or OM2.1g
They both include the latest PL3 possibilities too (like playing newer games on older Firmware, except for 3.50games).

Sorry to be annoying, but on the Ipod part on the first post you gave only the download links to .ipod files, but you didn't link to the tutorial explaining how to install these files.
Tutorial : here

Any reason to use Jurai's?

I've seen pictures of it and it looks really pretty.

Popped in to have a look and I can't help but notice that the N900 information is out of date. Currently there is a PSFreedom application in the maemo extras-devel repo. Along with PL3 and hermes payload support there is also a step-by-step walkthrough on triggering the jailbreak. There is also a shortcut in the application for quick access to the PS Jailbreak Compatibility List.

Let it update the catalogues. Then choose Download and find PSFreedom. Install it.

Yeah, there have been a lot of updates in few days.
That's why I started to transcribe the first post to the Wiki, so everyone can update the informations.

Currently, I had time to make only a quick compatible device list and the rockbox port.

There's not all the devices on the list yet.
Maybe making a new page with a quick guide on explaining what jailbreaking is, what it needs, etc. (mixing rydian FAQ thread with this thread information), would help users, and it will be easier to maintain.
Then each device its own page, like my rockbox one.
A list with commercial dongle can be helpful too, with details on each one capabilities (updatable, which hex file, etc.).

I'll add some more pages when I'll have time.

Any reason to use Jurai's?
I've seen pictures of it and it looks really pretty.
Jurai is counter-producing for the Open source community.
he doesn't give sources, infringing GPL licenses.

He even released a fake backup manager which deletes every installed games on your internal HDD.
Do not ever support anything from Jurai.

Moh.sakkai (author of the first Open manager mod) said he will quit the scene because of him, bad homebrew spirit è_é
Then, he decided to stay, but merge their effort with other "good" homebrew authors

Gotcha, I'll go w/ OM2.1 I, as there are some very nice themes for it.

You need to place the files.pkg at the root of a "normal" USB device.
If you place the .pkg on a PSGroove'd rockbox you need to reboot in "Disk mode"*, because it you boot in PSGroove the device is not recognized as a USB HDD but as a USB HUB.


* Disk mode :
on an iPod, reboot the device (Menu+select ~6 sec), then when booting push Menu+play (keep pushed until disk mode appear on screen)

I don't know for Sansa, but it should work the same.

holy crap this tutorial needs to be upgraded a little bit, it only got me asking more questions, good thing i know how to google, anyway, disk mode for sansa is holding Rewind + Power Button, and if anyone messes anything up too bad, recovery mode for sansa is turn off, put in lock mode, hold record button, and turn on, plug into pc-usb, you'll get a 16mb partition on my computer, insert a sansa.fmt(txt file or folder name) into the root, and safely remove hardware

Are people still finding out new ways to JB? I'm wondering what are the odds of an nano 4g or HTC Hero port since I see similar devices on the list

There is no major new devices port since the ipod one (with CPU PP502x).
Even PSFreedom website doesn't seem to have new chipset compatibility in their chart. only the MSM72K chipset is still updated (Samsung Galaxy I7500 being the last updated one).

I think there are not a lot of people knowing how to port the exploit to new devices.

Ah, the last one is a new calculator port (the Ti89).

Thanks for that link! According to their site the Hero works, it's not listed here though... Oh well
