Quick PS3 Backup Managers Tutorial for 3.55 KMEAW CFW

I recieved an update from @d1sc0rd1an on a tutorial on setting up a Backup Manager for the PS3.

This one is for "WorldCold"!

Make sure you are on 3.55 Official Firmware...

1. Download this patched PUP for Kmeaw CFW --> http://www.multiupload.com/9TRZ3QVS2Y

2. Put it in your USB flash drive on folder path like this x:\PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP

3. Connect your USB drive to your PS3.

4. Go to the System Update, you can find it on Settings menu.

5. Pick Update via Storage Media.

6. Now, you should see the app_home and Install Packages options.

7. Put this lv2 patcher package into your USB flash drive. --> http://kmeaw.com/tmp/lv2.pkg

8. Then, go to Install Packages and install the lv2 patcher.

9. There will be a new item popped up in your GAME menu, it is the lv2 patcher.

10. Start the lv2 patcher, after it is a success, exit it. You need to repeat this step each time you boot the PS3 before you can start the backup manager.

11. Congratulations, now you can use any backup managers and homebrews out there

UPDATE: Now Gaia Manager has that LV2 patcher integrated, you don’t have to start the LV2 patcher app instead just run Gaia Manager and mount your desired PS3 games backup. --> http://ps3crunch.com/gaia-manager-v201-kmeaw-lv2-patcher-integrated.html

PS3 JailBreak Step-by-Step (ver3.55)

I was chatting with @d1sc0rd1an today about PlayStation 3 and the latest EPIC Sony FAIL from that @fail0verflow had showcased at the 27th Chaos Communication Congress (27C3).

 

I got step by step instructions to run your your legally owned backups.

UPDATE as of 01/11/2010 7:20PM EST: Geohot was served with papers from Sony.  The fail0verflow team has been served as well.  Good luck geohot and fail0verflow.  The info sec community is behind you.  Also a good time to remind people to donate to the EFF.

 

 

Via- @d1sc0rd1an:

 

GeoHot Firmware:

Download jailbreak.zip

Copy PSUPDAT.PUP to USB drive at /PS3/UPDATE

**MAKE SURE ON STOCK 3.55 FW**

Disconnect fromthe  network on PS3, insert USB drive, goto System Update via Storage

Update and wait for 9 beeps...then shuts off the console.

Reboot and you now can install packages via XMB

**Same process can be used to go back to Stock 3.55 FW** - You will notice homebrew packages left installed will still work when reverting back to stock firmware, be careful going online though...

 

GeoHot Tools:

cd ~

git clone https://github.com/geohot/ps3publictools

~/ps3publictools/make_package_npdrm/make linux && ~/ps3publictools/package_finalize/make linux

PATH=$PATH:~/ps3publictools/make_package_npdrm/:~/ps3publictools/package_finalize/

 

Fail0verflow PS3tools:

cd ~

git clone git://git.fail0verflow.com/ps3tools.git

~/ps3tools/make

PATH=$PATH:~/ps3tools/

 

Modifying EBOOTS and Repackaging:
      • 1. copy EBOOT.BIN from USRDIR to new dir (name same as from SFO file usually BLUSXXXXX) and run unself EBOOT.BIN EBOOT.ELF {unself is from fail0verflow ps3tools}
      • 2. with a Hex Editor search for 'dev_bdvd' and switch it with dev_hdd0 all entries that u can find in EBOOT.ELF {should be about 5 or so make sure to write over and not insert}

NOTE: I found some games spaced dev_bdvd as d.e.v._.b.d.v.d; If you find references to a PS3_GAME path (:/PS3_GAME/USRDIR) must overwrite PS3_GAME with your own named dir and then transfer files into that directory (:/GAME1234/USRDIR & transfer data to /dev/hdd0/game/GAME1234/USRDIR)

      • 3. open PARAM.SFO with SFO EDITOR and change category to HG (hard disk game). Also write down BLUSXXXXX info - could also be BLES or BLJP etc
      • 4. Copy everything from PS3_GAME/ except USRDIR to BLUSXXXXX/ {everything but USRDIR dir gets copied; copy TROPDIR, LICDIR, etc just not USRDIR}

      • 5. make_self_npdrm EBOOT.ELF EBOOT.BIN BLUSXXXXX  {make_self_npdrm from GeoHot Tools}

      • 6. make dir USRDIR in your BLUSXXXXX dir; copy modded npdrm'd EBOOT.BIN into USRDIR {should be only file in USRDIR}
      • 7. run 'pkg.py --contentid UP0001-BLUSXXXXX_00-0000000000000000 /BLUSXXXXX' to pkg {pkg.py from PSL1GHT SDK; pkg.py should automatically name pkg from Content-ID}
      • 8. run 'package_finalize UP0001-BLUSXXXXX_00-0000000000000000.pkg' {package_finalize from GeoHots tools}
      • 9. then install package via XMB using GeoHot FW. Don't run yet though, copy the original USRDIR contents except for the old EBOOT.BIN (of course) to /hdd0/game/BLUSXXXXX/USRDIR.  After installing the package the directory will have been created.  You can copy over using blackb0x ftp which also can be installed via geohots fw.
