Breaking News: Full Kernal Access for 2.5/2.6 users Via New exploit

[BALL_SAC]

YEAHHHH!!!!!!!... ITS ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY CRACKED THE KERNAL!!!!

This is awesome, and Im going to download it right now. Whoever made this... You are now my favorite coder!

[DPyro]

Hmm... It shouldn't be too long before people start creating more downgraders again lol

Even though I wouldn't abandon 1.00 for anything, I have thought of something interesting I might do...

With 0okm's Diehard Firmware 1.00 Backup & Restore program it should be posible to go from fw 1.00 to ANY firmware up to 2.60, and still be able to restore 1.00 again!
(It won't work with current program, but could if 0okm modifies it)

If you are on firmware 1.5, you might not want to upgrade just yet...
For people that haven't upgraded yet and are on fw 1.50, they should back up their flash first!
If for any reason you might want to return to 1.5, it should be possible!

If kernel mode can be accessed, and flash can be written/read then it should be possible to backup: 1.00, 1.50, 2.50 & 2.60.
If so, the following should also be possible:

1. Backup fw 1.00/1.50
2. Upgrade to whatever firmware you want (up to 2.60)
3. Upgrade to either 2.50 or 2.60
4. Run the restore program to go back to fw 1.00/1.50!

This will not work yet (especially if this exploit is fake of course), but it should be easy for 0okm to change his program to do that.
Or someone else should be able to create a program to do that.

Hey, good point

[acn010]

i didnt see this at the fanjita site, why does it show up here (rubs chin)

could this be fake?

its not fake.
as it says that fanjita is gonna take out a new eloader with this feature.
so this means he doesn't have time to update his site just like that

[Nasty Nate]

o, i get it now

SWEET

[tophead420]

has ne1 tryed this yet if so fill me in bc i wanna kno how to install it b4 i try it so if ne does try plzz tell me lol

[BALL_SAC]

....... How do you get this to work?

There are no read me's, so I assume you just stick the eboot under the folder 2.6 exploit into the game folder.

Can someone verify this?

1.5 users still have no reason to upgrade tho even if all homebrew becomes available, many ppl have already sed that DEVHOOK is a great application that emulates the newer firmwares to use all the PSP features.

But we don't know how well the new exploit works...
Can 1.5 play EVERY single UMD game which requires minimum fw of 2.6 or below?
Can 1.5 play all those UMD games without needing to use ISOs and without having problems saving?
Can 1.5 play those games just by putting the UMD in and turning on the PSP?
Can 1.5 use ALL the features from 2.6? Including:
- 2.6 Web Browser
- RSS
- Location Free Player
- Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese Traditional
- Audio Codecs for: WMA, MP4, WAV, ATRAC3
- Image Formats: TIFF, GIF, PNG, BMP
- Wireless Encryption: WPA-PSK (TKIP, AES)

If 1.5 does all that already, then yes -- this exploit really is useless for 1.5 users.

i can hear the sales on the undiluted modchip come to a screetching halt.

Heard from where?

The only reason I haven't paid for one yet is because ModChipStores rejected my payment details even though I typed them in perfectly over 5 times.

[BALL_SAC]

Has anyone got this to work successfully. I dont know how to do it.

[Sumo X]

This is fantastic if its true. Granted I'm at 1.5, so I already have full kernel access, at least now almost everyone (except those who willingly updated to 2.7+) can enjoy the wonders of homebrew at its fullest.

[notaforumtroll]

no i havnt tried to get this to work becuz i dont really well i dont know how to set this up if ne1 does get it workn PM and fill me in on this gr8 achievment in psp homebrew lol

Can someone please remove this guys privileges?
