PS3 CFW now with Peek and Poke

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

Netkas and flukes1 have successfully managed to patch the lv2_kernel in 3.55 to allow peek poke.

Download is here - *snip*

README

Patch to add peek and poke syscalls to PS3 firmware 3.55
by flukes1 and netkas (irc.efnet.net #ps3test)

To create the patched PS3UPDAT.PUP:
1. Use bspatch to apply PS3UPDAT.PUP.bsdiff to Sony's official 3.55 PUP, which is available from their website.
2. Run this from command line : " bspatch PS3UPDAT.PUP PS3UPDAT-NEW.PUP PS3UPDAT.PUP.bsdiff "
2. Ensure that the md5sum of the resulting PS3UPDAT.PUP is 337831fac6a9b05074f73710c4bb7c86

Simply install the patched PS3UPDAT.PUP onto your PS3, then install geohot's jailbreak.

Our PUP can be installed over any firmware version, including 3.55-geohot. If you install over 3.55-geohot, you must reinstall geohot's jailbreak afterwards.

For developers: peek is syscall 6, poke is syscall 7 (same as PL3 dev payload)

Props to mastag22, lastExile, Killer_In - our testers with balls of steel.

Enjoy!

NOTE : Backup managers may not work in current state, the backup manager creators may have to change some code.

Yay?

Good news, but I'm still wating for Sony's reply to that. And I also want to be sure that installing a CFW won't get me banned from the PSN.

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

Well I've packaged the .pup wish me luck installing.

Awesome news for PS3 owners, today. Let us know if BMs work.

According to some posts on psx-scene Backup Managers still do not work. Looks like they have to be changed a litle to work.

Well that was in the article so expected I guess.


ANYWAYS

Installed it then installed Geohot CFW and even installed multiMAN obviously wont work but i'm alright with that for now...

It's definetly safe to install though.

EDIT:Turns out Dean disabled all syscalls in signed multiMAN so people are trying open manager.

Got mine installed a while ago, backup managers still don't work but flukes is working on getting gaia manager to run as we speak

 

[chartube12]

A few games do work with multiman. game tuts has a list of games that do and don't work. Most of those working games but not all, are the PSN buyable ones.

Now for my question: what is bspatch? will the bspatch listed under NDS/utilties on filetrip work?

EDIT: Google and you'll find a pre patched cfw on a certain playstion xite

This is looking mighty tempting, but until the cheating online gets unbearable I'll hold off. Either that or i'll get another PS3.

Ok, just set me straight here. So I first: update this over geohot's cfw. then i have to re-install geohot's. right?

 

[Rydian]

Well, managers will have to be redone with the proper signatures...

Yes

In this video this guy seems to be able to get FIFA 11 and Transformers using multiman....

This is what I did but got data is corrupt when trying to install geohot the second time. Now going back to ofw-this-geohot to see what happens

 

[Riicky]

Woot! time to dust off the ps3!

 

[BobTheJoeBob]

This is looking good. Might try it when people start confirming that sony can't detect the cfw.

I was trying to install from recovery mode for hours until I looked at geohots site the fw is called 3.55-jb so I thought installing from XMB would work since its a dif fw

 

[powerking56]

I downloaded the CFW already installed with Peek and Poke, the filename was PS3UPDAT-NEW.PUP, however when you try to update via usb it says no applicable data. I renamed the file PS3UPDAT.PUP and it is found. I'm just wondering is this the official firmware? There was no mention of Netkas and flukes1 in the agreement page. Any ideas? I was attempting to do this from the XMB not recovery mode.
