Over the past 4-5 years, the ps3 devs have tried to reverse engineer a PS3 update to get these so called keys. With these keys you can sign a PS3 update to the latest version of a PS3. Without these keys there is no CFW or JailBreak for a update higher than 3.56. Now there are 3.55-Patches so you can update from 3.55 to 4.31-? and still have a CFW PS3. If your using 3.55 keys for a 4.31 update, then it's NOT a 4.31 CFW. Like I said, it's a 3.55-Patch CFW. So if you see a thread here saying 4.31 JailBreak or CFW, it's either fake, it's meant to be installed on 3.55, and/or it's a SEX firmware (Shop). If you want to help us find the keys, visit
You must login or register to view this content. and learn more about the keys and what they do. These keys are VERY hard to find because they are encrypted with a algorithm called the ECDSA Algorithm. In order to get the keys from that, you need to crack it, and it's estimated to take 60 years to do that with moores law. Also if you find a video on youtube saying it's a 4.31 CFW, then again it's either a fake CFW, to be installed on 3.55, or its a SEX firmware (Shop). One more thing, A CFW that's supposed to be installed on 3.55 isn't a 4.31 CFW!
do you even know what your talking about? ps3devwiki has all the keys stupid from 3.56 to 4.31 appldr,lv1ldr,isoldr nprdm keys,we even have the bootldr keys to decrypt lv0 ECSDA is just algor your just waffling on thinking your a pro. 4.30 cfw is a 3.55 base using the core_os thats it the rest of the files are 4.30 files hense rogero and rebug created cfw.Install package files was blocked from 3.56 hense you need to use debug on retail and fake it to think it debug.ECSDA HMAC-SHA1 i think you mean thats just for encrypting the pup yes that would take billion of years not even an quantum computers cant figure it out as it not even bulilt what we need is the public key or the latest leaked JIG files if you can find it lol trust me you will all get a surprise soon to bypass ECSDA they have found a way here is a little view
