(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay i have a theory that you cannot hack PS3 slim regardless of FW

I have a dump from 3.15 and 3.21 and 3.30 Slim
I also have a dump from 3.15 and 3.21 and 3.30 Fat
4gb dummy file

It must be something that slim writes between HD and Hardware id cos when a new hdd is put in it asks for FW update then formats and resets memory like network and user accounts etc whereas on fat it just formats and sets up with users and network settings all in place??

--SLIM--
The dummy on Slim ones is nowhere to be found (done it over 5 times between 3 different machines, iv even exported the hex text from winhex then put into a formula in excel database to delete uniques and was only left with a few duplictaes but none were dummies, also if i run compare hex lines between image without dummy and image with dummy in hex in hex editor Neo it highlights different lines but none seem to repeat??? I also know a few people who have the same issue and have not found it??

--FAT--
The dummy on every Fat dump i found within 15-20 mins even 3.30fw, if you go to middle of drive the scroll up / down within 10 mins you can find it or run compare through Neo again and `choose different files` tab and it will list the pattern of repeats in RED and they are dummies and can be recognised easily??

If anyone has FACT and they have done a SLIM ps3 on 3.15 above (not their mate said he done it as too many people talk crap) pls let us know how as i dont think using the standard way it can be done

UPDATE: MY PS3 FAT 3.30 HDD IS NOW DECRYPTED

so your fat ps3 is decrypted

do you have direct access to patch_mp.ff?

So you have managed to decrypt a fat ps3 on 3.30 but not a slim. Is it possibble to decrypt a slim on a lower firmware?

Yes its a FAT 3.30 decrypted and extracting the patch from decrypted bin but were struggling with decompressing it?? any ideas welcome

how big's the file? could u send it
and what other files is there

well iv tried 3 slims on 3.15fw, 3.21fw and 3.30fw = failed on them all

But have done a 3.15, 3.21 and 3.30 Fat PS3`s okay

upload the .bin

its a couple of gb in size my connection would take all night

I love the way people always say they decrypted this, downgraded 3.30, got hacks but never give a good tutorial on how to do it. I know people might feel like they don't have to release it, but im sure it would get a whole bunch of people happy.

All I have done mate is advise it can be done on 3.30 but has to be ps3 FAT, to get where I am now just download PS3 HDD STUDIO 2.08 (search NGU or PS3-news) then follow readme inside folder til you get the Decrypted.BIN then its to google and forums and experimenting,,, if i get it going and create a lobby people who helped will get priority and will get help but as this is such a big thing to do (IMO) a level of computer hardware/software is required
