PSP Firmware 3.0 & 3.01 Dumper and Decryptor released

[wraggster]

Sony your getting crappier at these firmware updates, yeah you can bully shops into submission but the PSP Hacking scene takes a big poo on your firmware updates.

Heres the news from noobz:


So. Firmware 3.00 has been out for 2 days. Firmware 3.01 has been out for less than one day. Does anyone want a dumper and decrypter for them? We thought you might.

We're proud to present a mod to the PSPPet's PSARDumper, that will decrypt all known firmware update PSARs - just extract the PSAR from the EBOOT in the usual way, copy it to ms0:/data.psar, and run the dumper.

You can download it here. Full source is included, but please don't ask us how we made it. We could tell you, but we'd have to kill you...

Sweet!!!

Suck on that $ony:thumbup:

[Mr. Shizzy]

Whoa, what exactly does this mean? Is emulating 3.0 firmware possible already?

[Festizzio]

Awesome. Now we just need Booster to come in and show us the way. :)

[SnesR0X]

Faster than anyone could have expected:)

[blackrave]

Decrypted already! :eek:
This is so fantastic news! Can't wait for someone (Booster) to make an emulator for this, but since 2.8x is a bit buggy and troubly to emulate, I wonder if 3.01 will be that easy.
Let's wait and see, great news!

[lockrock]

omg and i just bought sonic rivals

[opiate81]

very cool!!
I wonder if Sony will have these troubles with the PS3?

and has anyone even been able to use the PS1 emu in the 3.0 fw yet?

[Mark30001]

That was very fast!

[fistikuffs]

Nice work noobz:D

[gunntims0103]

psp hacker and hombrew scene- 200 pionts

sony- 0

SONY JUST GOT OWNED!!!

[thenery]

i dont get what it does. is better for people with 3.01like an eloader or people with1.5 like a devhook thing?

[porchemasi]

WOW cant wait for BOOSTER to pull through . . we all know u will buddy

[Vibestar]

Hmmm Is it not posible to make a 3.00 SE-A already of this. I think it would be if DA put's in a little time... Till then it's 2.71SE for me.

[Vega]

omg i just bought sonic rivals

so? sonic rivals works with 2.7 se-b'' :thumbup:

[hd_]

So, would it be possible to compare the versions and see what has changed, and therefore find the security hole?

[Vega]

Remember its only dumped.. it has not been emulated yet... tho this is the first step :D

[ShuzzleBuzzle]

I wish booster would give us updates, I dont care if he isnt able to I just want to know he isnt able to instead of sitting around waiting for it.

[Mr.Denny]

So if i boot this from my GAME folder what can i expect to happen?.

[darthhaze420]

so? sonic rivals works with 2.7 se-b'' :D

hey i have 1.50 with devhook 0.46 and have yet to find a game that does not work with it i just tried out tony hawk project 8 and it worked fine i try every game at least once :D

[pakkman781]

Awesome! Now lets have a new version of devhook already! XD

[porchemasi]

hey i have 1.50 with devhook 0.46 and have yet to find a game that does not work with it i just tried out tony hawk project 8 and it worked fine i try every game at least once :D

Socom dont boot properly for me with dev crashes on loading screen

[Emeriastone]

Tight tatties!!!!111!!!11ONE!~

[PSPegasus]

How can this be true?? How could they possibly have worked out how to decrypt it so fast???
Excellent work though if it's true! You guys rock. You know if I was Sony, I'd be offering you guys jobs in the firmware security department :P.

[YourStillWithMe]

Awesome news!!!!!!! Hopefully my buddies Fanjita, Booster, and Dark Alex will get on this. We need a new devhook NOW! its been long enough good luck guys!!!!!! You all rock and noobz-Excellent work!

[Veskgar]

Everyone always asks wheres Booster? Wheres Booster? Well, according to other well known coders Booster does indeed have a life. I know its surprising right?

But seriously, he has been busy from what I've heard. There has been another DevHook worked on, just not released yet and/or is still in development. I believe it emulates 2.80 firmware.

Also, the complexity that goes into coding some of this stuff is quite remarkable. And perhaps the most time consuming thing of all is trial and error. It likely takes a while to get things all to fit in and work together properly.

And another thing, Booster is supposedly considering releasing the source to DevHook. I don't really like the sound of that but perhaps it could help if other coders with more time try their hand at improving the already incredible DevHook 0.46.

The bottom line is that as long as the PSP homebrew scene remains strong, there is bound to be something to happen regarding use of higher firmware features on lower (1.50) firmware or custom firmware PSP's.

Being not really impressed with SONY's system to download & play PS1 games, I am more interested in PS3 connectivity & commercial games.

[the_eternal_dark]

Holy hell. Sony had their "golden" firmware(s) opened in record time, if I'm not mistaken. Sony may release something later on, like fw 6.66 that is "hell" to bust into, but hey, we are what, about 4 years from the version 6 fw series, no worries.

[XxunknowxX]

Socom dont boot properly for me with dev crashes on loading screen

you know y it crashes because u got cwcheat if u got that in ur devhook it will freeze thats y it does that take cwcheat off and then boot up devhook and go to the ram and then go to remove setting and then install settings again it should work find after that if not try doing format memory stick but remember to copy ur save games and other important files on ur pc before u do that and use one of the ultimate installer if u already dont do so.

[luis_05]

sweet news!!

i jsut got an idea, after reading this exciting news, why dont all homebrew fans go to sony headquarters and play "we are the champions" that would be sweet!!

nice job ppl at noobz

[porchemasi]

Naw unknown i dont even have devhook i run it off Game section on my 2.71 SE-B , it loadsbut crashes at the SOCOM US FTB2 loading screen

[M!ckeY]

this was incredibly fast!! :eek: Great work guys!

[scarph]

this is technically all you need for a devhook
problem is the file storing system is different and some prxs are way out there

an SE might never be possible

a devhook should be on the way however

[snuffster]

yeah come on BOOSTER
where are u???

[Understandable]

Either sony gave up or they r just getting sloppy but its good new for us now we need booster to work his magic. I wouldnt be suprised if PS3 gets hacked next week... but i bet it WILL GET HACKED.

[psp411]

wooow.... preetty amazin ppl :cool: :D
now all we need is this devhooked and we'll be able to use 3.0 stuff... siiik
p.s... Dark Alex, maybe this could be the next "golden custom firmware" :D
(it might be hard lookin @ the prx's but anythin is possible...)

[LilSwish722]

yay lol. now we need devhook lol

[archangel1024]

man, the N00bz team has r@ped sony again! lol!
Go N00bz!

[aCoL]

hahahha nice one


round of aplause if i had a ps3 i would be happy because i could update and know that homebrew is coming ina bit

[ab88]

hahahha nice one

What does decrypting a firmware have to do with upgrading? This is more inclined to the "devhook" side rather than the "running homebrew on it" side...
You are lucky you don't have a PS3 or else...

[LilSwish722]

yea this is closer to the devhook side. because we cant run homebrew on it just because its decrypted. we still need to find an exploit

[acn010]

holy crapers!!!
that was fast..
now ill wait for devhook to come out for this...
let me try if it works when i put it on .46.
lol

[d3v1l]

would be great for a golden firmware if a exploit was found..only i dont think there would be enough space in the flash for it.. but hopefully it will get "devhookable" and ill downgrade to 1.5 from 2.71SE-b :) great news ! go noobz!

[shrimpidy]

thats pretty fast. So fast it seems like its not possible.

[vladiftodi]

Whoa, what exactly does this mean? Is emulating 3.0 firmware possible already?

same question here :eek:

[carlitx]

ok a very noob question wat does a decrypter do exactly? does it let u upgrade but keep running homebrew or something...plz explain for me.......

[mikebeaver]

the decryter allows someone who knows what they are doing (not me !!) to look at the prx files in a way that is understanable to them, so they can work with them, at least i think thats what happens??

[D0N]

Nice work guys, keep it up! :)

In your face Sony!!! :D

[PSPKOR]

This is great, what fast work, you guys at noobz.eu are great!:)

[carlitx]

ok kool i nderstand now :p

[steven1980cad]

Hi everyone.

Great work fanjita, ditlew and all the others at noobz.eu.

I started with a brand new fw2.5 psp and with the bock eloader downgraded via GTA, now im on 2.71seb with homebrew :-)
I guess we all owe a lot to the coders out there.

Cheers,

[A Pirating Ape]

ok so how the F*** do u use this thing? lol

[ab88]

ok so how the F*** do u use this thing? lol

Gosh!! I don't know either... Maybe by reading the README:confused: :confused:
keep up that n00b pride, don't stop asking stupid questions:)

[A Pirating Ape]

ha i dun understand that bull S*** in the read me..

[cheetopuf]

where do you put the file in your psp and does this let you get back to a lower fw?

[cheetopuf]

where do you put the file at in your psp and which file do you put in there and also will this let you get to a lower fw? <B>PLEASE HELP!!!<B/>:confused:

[LilSwish722]

ok no this is a dumper and decrypter which is handy in homebrew. this is not a downgrader seeing as how this was just released and 2.8 has hardly got a downgrader and its been out for about 3 months. 3.0 will not have a downgrader after being relased 3 days ago

[lxg2790]

can u break dat down for some of us not so smart ppl lol

[lxg2790]

ok i got it installed wat does it do (sorry im kinda new at all this)

[lxg2790]

can sum1 help me i got this on my psp but every time i try to start it the psp screen com up then the psp turns off why is this

[gilbert9]

ok i dont expext a nice answer but can anyone tell me how i do this ? i have 2.71 SE-C and i have my kernel set to 1.50. i have placed the PSARDumper_300 files in my game 150 folder...what do i do now ? thanks in advance..
