Today CJPC has assisted blackb0x with their latest release, dubbed PS3 LV2Dump v0.7a which enables PSGroove users to finally dump the PS3 LV2 GameOS for examination!

Previously JaicraB with TeamHades dumped the PS3 hypervisor LV2 (GameOS) and revealed how it was done, however, the dump was not clean and so work resumed until today.

To quote from the included ReadMe file: "This application will dump all accessible LV2 memory on a jailbroken retail PS3.

To run this app, place lv2dump_07a.pkg on a usb memory stick. Install the pkg. Then run LV2Dump from the XMB. It should run for approximately 20-30 seconds, then it will exit back to the XMB. There will now be a file named LV2.BIN in the folder /dev_hdd0/game/

You can access your dump by copying the file out with your own code, or the FTP application.

Before attempting another dump, delete the LV2.BIN that is in /dev_hdd0/game/ as the next dump will append to the file if it exists.

The dump is right around 8MB - which will let you take a look at the PS3's kernel.

This is brilliant news. Cfw just around the corner now!

well this is just wonderful news now isn't it i still wouldn't install a cfw on the ps3 but great none the less

This is just improving the odds of custom firmware, I got a feeling that CFW will somehow be detectable by Sony though.

Do you have to jailbreak cause i saw that you need just a usb stick?

They are the experts when it comes to the PS3 and how it works. They can probably send a simple remote code to our PS3's to tell them any info they would want to know about what people are running/doing on their PS3's.

We would essentially have to run a firewall on our PS3's to stop certain data from ever getting out when we try to connect to the PSN. Cause who knows what kind of crazy things Sony could request via the internet from our PS3's.



If they can successfully make a custom FW, my bet is that yes you would still need to jailbreak. Since the FW would be unsigned, you would need to bypass the hypervisor to install it.

Om nom nom nom "Will let you take a look at the PS3's kernel"

Nice news, I'm looking forward to more news from the devs +81 rep for you

This is a HUGE breakthrough, while it still needs some reversing, this is our copy of the firmware in its decrypted form. Custom FW is right around the corner.

That Dam CJPC, Gotta love em!
