(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); OK, pretty simple once you think about it... If we can load our own /dev_flash/ via JaiCraBs CFW Loader, we can load a 3.42 firmware... But hold on! We can't jailbreak on 3.42! And? We do hacks/upload patch_mp.ff to our MW2 patch... Then run FW Loader with actual 3.42 firmware on USB, and play online with modded patch (HDD is untouched!)...

This will work, but I don't know whether or not we can use a 3.41 flash and just change etc/vsh/version.txt?

The issue is though, how do we get a /dev_flash/ copy from 3.42, we can't jailbreak... :-( This rules out the first option. So our only option is to try to change etc/vsh/version.txt.

I think many people will try this!

UPDATE: Some devices such as HTC Touch Hero now have PSGroove v1.1 ported with syscalls PEEK and POKE...

Please note: You cannot use PSFreedom, PSJailbreak, or any other clone, you need the PEEK and POKE syscalls which is only in PSGroove v1.1...

I am trying to modify the contents of npsignin_plugin.sprx in the FLASH.
Those files Hunter spoke about in the SDK, are for making a game play over PSN, which is NOT what I am looking for.

npsignin_plugin.rco controls the media (text/sound/images)
npsignin_plugin.sprx controls the actual commands/actions taken when signing in.

crap if only i knew how to decrypt /facepalm

If we knew how to decrypt then we could go online with ANY firmware....

Here's the problem

version.txt - fine, no problems with that. Go edit it.
index.dat - this is an encrypted version.txt, the encryption key varies for every console (I think...). The PS3 decrypts this and compares it with version.txt

So, go figure our the encryption.

That sounds easy enough. But then again, everything sounds easy coming from you.

I think that the title is kind of misleading and if someone has found a way to get online with older firmwares and hasn't released, then I'm sure it will surface soon, especially with the amount of hacking going on with the PSJB jailbreak. All these things take time.
