Tomorrow, I will look into this more closely, but my research got me into this:
Once we unpack the .PKG from the FTP server, we get a PARAM.SFO, a .PNG and a folder named USRDIR with a EBOOT.BIN. With one of the released PS3 GUI TOOLBOX versions, we could unpack this EBOOT.BIN and get a EBOOT.SELF. This .SELF is of grave importance for signing keys, I think. We have to sign them SOMEHOW into the .SELF to make them look like Sony's own application.
After we've done that, we have to reverse the entire process: repack the .SELF into the EBOOT.BIN, replace the modified EBOOT.BIN with the old EBOOT.BIN, repack the .PKG and upload in onto the PS3.
This would most likely work, I think. Main problem: where to sign the keys into the .SELF?
You're close.
We've ALREADY signed the keys into the .SELF, but after you repack the .SELF into the .BIN, you then need to:
-Repackage the ftpserver_12.pkg
-Sign the actual .pkg itself
