How To Jailbreak Your PS3

Posted on jan 3, 2011 | 201 comments

Received a mail from Sony:

Important: Access to the PlayStation(R)Network and Access to Qriocity(TM) Services Notice Unauthorized circumvention devices for PlayStation(R)3 system have been recently released by hackers for the PlayStation(R)3 system. These devices permit the use of unauthorized or pirated software.

Use of such devices or software violates the terms of your “System Software License Agreement for the PlayStation(R)3 System” and the “Terms of Services and User Agreement” for the PlayStation(R)Network/Qriocity(TM) and its Community Code of Conduct provisions. In addition, copying or playing pirated software is a violation of International Copyright Laws.

Immediately cease use and remove all circumvention devices and delete all unauthorized or pirated software from your PlayStation(R)3 system. Failure to do so will result in termination of your access to PlayStation(R) Network and access to Qriocity(TM) services through your PlayStation(R)3 system.

En in het Nederlands:

Belangrijk: Toegang tot de PlayStation(R)Network en toegang tot Qriocity(TM) Services bericht

Illegale apparaten voor het PlayStation(R)3 systeem werden recentelijk gepubliceerd door hackers voor het PlayStation(R)3 systeem. Met deze apparaten is het mogelijk om gebruik te maken van ongeautoriseerde of softwarepiraterij.

Gelieve onmiddellijk te stoppen met het gebruik van apparaten die beveiligingsoftware ontwijken en verwijder alle ongeautoriseerde of gekopieerde software van je PlayStation(R)3 systeem.

Het nalaten hiervan zal de beëindiging van toegang tot het PlayStation(R)Network en toegang tot de Qriocity(TM) op je PlayStation (R)3 systeem betekenen.


This means they will ban people when they bypass the update, and go online on a CFW 3.55.
Sony = Weak.

THEY CAN’T MAKE A 3.56 CFW. SONY HAS NEW KEYS TO SIGN THINGS.
& YOU CAN’T DOWNGRADE!


These spoilers are old.

# PS3 FIRMWARE (OFW) 3.56 LIVE!
It’s out — The System Update! This is a update that adds a security patch.

You know the drill: Do not update if your PS3 is hacked in any way. If you want to update, PLEASE first restore your PS3 to a official 3.55 firmware. (read the FAQ how to do this).

But personally I suggest you to cancel the update and stay offline for a few days.
I’m sure there will be a bypass tool to let you access the PSN on a hacked firmware.

UPDATE #1: You still can sign in to the PSN on a 3.55 (custom) firmware.

Tutorial:

1. Go to “Network Settings” >”Internet Connection Settings” > “DNS Setting” > “Manual”

2. Now put this number as both the Primary and Secondary DNS: 67.202.81.137

3. You should be able to sign into PSN without updating to 3.56.

UPDATE #2:

As expected, the new firmware kills all homebrew applications.

The update includes a new .self file with a new, previously unknown, key inside.

This means all homebrew tools will have to be updated in order to restore functionality.

UPDATE #3:

KaKaRoTo with the quickness… Packing and unpacking 3.56 is now possible with the latest in ps3utils and ps3tools. Also updated are the keys for said firmware. So update your git clones! A new custom firmware is nearing, and you know that!

UPDATE #4: PS3 Firmware 3.56 Includes a “Rootkit”

Reports around the globe seem to indicate that Sony is up to no good… The pros have dug deep, dissecting firmware 3.56 to the fullest, and what they found may surprise you… Then again it’s Sony, so maybe you won’t be surprised at all… Allegedly Sony has included their own “rootkit” so to speak, which allows them to execute remote code upon login. What code exactly? Well that can range from verifying system files, detecting custom firmwares to searching for any installed homebrew. And the execeuted code can change at anytime — without a firmware update — it’s all controlled by Sony on their end.

UPDATE #5: Screenshot: PSN Bypasser.

Today Hideki has released what he calls Simple PS3 Proxy, a PSN Firmware version bypass application which functions similar to the other PSN bypass methods.

Download: Simple PS3 Proxy

From the ReadMe file: Set on your PS3 a web proxy of (PC IP) port 8080

IE: if the machine you are to be running this proxy on is 192.168.0.12 then put that as the IP and 8080 as the port in the PS3 network configuration for your web proxy.

If 3.56 is still current, just run the app and click start. If 3.60 or later is now out, change the 3.5600 value in required PS3 version to 3.6000 or similar.

As long as the PS3 is correctly configured and this app is running, you will be signed in. This is licensed under version 2 of the GNU public licence, see license.txt for details. Source code is included in the archive in /src

Possible errors

On PC:

If you get an error about mswinsck.ocx being missing, either run the proxy app as administrator or copy the included .ocx file (in ocx) to windowssystem32. (or if you prefer, download and install the microsoft VB6 runtimes which include this required file but also a large number of other not required files…)

MS VB6 Runtime KB article link: VBRun60sp6.exe installs Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 run-time files

On PS3:

Error 8071053D – You are not running the proxy or the IP/Port are wrong.

Update request – You have not setup the proxy on PS3 side or Sony have worked around this workaround.

UPDATE #6: Screenshot: Custom Firmware Creator.

So, apparently some of the big and major ps3 scene developers have banded together to create a new cfw tool.

KaKaRoTo appears to be one of which working on this project. And it looks beasty! What is it?

It’s reported to be an easy to use GUI featuring checkboxes to select/deselect certain features so anyone can create a cfw using just the features they need.

It also supports some new options not seen in current cfws.

Today, Project PS3MFW was unveiled, which includes a new open source tool, called PS3MFW Builder. The tool is said to generate modified firmware, with features not yet seen in the current custom firmwares.

According to PS3MFW.com, the project is being developed by several high profile PS3 scene developers. One such member, appears to be KaKaRoTo, who is said to be playing an important role in the project.

The tool that’s being developed, called PS3MFW Builder, generates a modified firmware, based on choices made by the end user, so that it is tailored to suit their needs.

The program features multiple check boxes, allowing users to only include the features they want in their modified firmware. After making their selections, the program then creates a modified PUP file, ready for installing.

The entire project is also open source, allowing any qualified person to contribute and add new options. The tool currently supports creating modified firmwares for versions 3.55 and lower.

This is currently just a project announcement, so there is no download available yet.

UPDATE #7: DNS Trick Finally Blocked; Sony Makes More Legal Moves.

Sony has finally blocked the DNS/proxy trick for getting onto PSN with an earlier firmware version, earlier than version 3.56. I thought they’d block it sooner, but hey… Maybe they’ve been busy with all the legal drama.

With respect to Sony’s legal bullying, posted is a good read at Wired. They mention Sony’s recent legal demands — demanding a federal Judge order Google to give up all the IP addresses and “other identifying information” of those who’ve viewed or commented on this [private] YouTube video.

Furthermore, in addition to Sony’s TRO, where geohot was forced to remove the PS3 keys and jailbreak from his site, he is now being ordered to give up all his computer gear to Sony. Stewart Kellar, geohot’s lawyer, is trying to convince the judge otherwise. And you know Sony isn’t stopping there — they’re still looking for team fail0verflow, KaKaRoTo, Waninkoko, graf_chokolo, Hermes and Kmeaw, who again, most of them anyway, are outside DMCA jurisdiction, I think…

Anyway, back to PSN… Like any situation in life you have three options: 1) Buy a second PS3 (Sony will like you more), hack it or use it for PSN, and do the opposite with your current console; 2) Forget your current hacks and upgrade your console to firmware 3.56 right now; 3) Sit, chill, and wait for future hacks potentially getting you back on PSN … but you know the risks involved with that.

UPDATE #8: Connecting to PSN on CFW 3.55 Kmeaw

Personally I haven’t tried this yet, but it seems promising… This comes from an anonymous fellow who is reporting success on connecting to PSN using PS3 Custom Firmware 3.55 by Kmeaw. So install that first and then follow these steps. - The following assumes you’re technically inclined and/or very resourceful, i.e. you know how to use Google. You’ll likely need to reference Google when it comes to generating/signing a certificate and creating a CA (certification authority). That said lets get started; here we’re using a combination of two tactics:

1. DNS server trick: Set Primary DNS to 67.202.81.137 under Network Settings

2. Simple SSL proxy that basically modifies the headers for outgoing packets to auth.np.ac.playstation.net’s to change “PS3 03.55″ to “PS3 03.56″ — this makes PSN believe the PS3 is using the proper firmware version

Got it? Now here is how we accomplish tactic #2:

1. Replacing a SSL cert in the CFW (in /dev_flash/data/cert) with your own CA SSL certificate

2. Creating an SSL certificate for “auth.np.ac.playstation.net” signed with your CA certificate

3. Run a DNS server on your machine that resolves auth.np.ac.playstation.net to your PC’s internal IP

4. Create a Java SSL proxy (basically PS3 <-> PC <-> PSN). The PC claims (to the PS3) that it is “auth.np.ac.playstation.net” and is successfully accepted because a CA signed the SSL certificate

5. Replace the headers sent PS3 -> PSN to specify “PS3 03.56″

Video Proof:

And no, this isn’t a video tutorial. Wait for that.

As you’ve probably read before, the PS3 is completely hacked (and completely FUCKED!).
In this tutorial i’ll explain you how to jailbreak your PS3.
The best custom firmware out now is kmeaw’s firmware.
It is stable and it gives you the option to install backup managers.
Ofcourse it is still at your own risk to jailbreak your device.
Please read the FAQ before you start the tutorial.
