I love rumors. They make us excited. So, if you are with me, then you will love this story that i just read recently. Earlier, i have reported on PS Jailbreak alleged attempt to charge people for a new firmware update and at the same time enjoying the PS3 Jailbreak ability. Now, there is a new story came up that strengthen my previous report.

Apparently, someone who had access to the certain keys for the PS3 firmware is in contact with PS Jailbreak team. When i meant someone, it has the possibilities of someone who have worked for Sony or had left the company for several obvious reasons. Well, if that someone has an access to the master key, then the PS Jailbreak team is really going to owned Sony this time. In fact, the Japanese corporation almost have no chance to fight back the PS3 Jailbreak scene. If you want to read more, here is my source which has been posted by Falcon80:

The reason i believe the update is real is because of what has been told to me.
No one knows who they are. If they had no more tricks up their sleeve why would they even bother hanging around?

The rumors are that they do get someone either from Sony or that had left Sony that possibly had access to certain keys. If its the master key then Sony are f**ked. Thats probably why they are saying “firmwares” becuase the update will probably work on future firmware version past 3.5……fingers crossed yall!

Again, this is just a rumor, nothing is concrete in this matter. Just for fun kind of thing. Anyway, there are still 4 days left before the official confirmation from PS Jailbreak regarding Backup Manager 1.1 which has “that will blow you all away” things promised from the one who has pioneered the PS3 Jailbreak scene.


So basically if this is true custom firmware will be just around the cornerHappy.
Only thing is,

as far as I can tell from logical knowledge, Sony can can just change the keys and boom we're back to square one lol

But why? I can't see how it would benefit us at all. If we change it then it will only work on the firmware we have changed it on. It's not like they need to know our master key to force us to update or ban us etc. If Sony change it, use it for a future firmware then we're stuck again. Us changing it won't prevent them changing it lol.

a master key will not/cannot be changed, as it would be unbelievably easy to decrypt the patch with the new keys inside. for new keys to be added to a firmware, the old keys must be used first to open the patch
