(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Please discuss anything related to signing homebrew here

I'm about to download the Git for the ps3 keys and see if i can sign the ftp, if i can, expect ftp on 3.55 by tomorrow.

UPDATE: i have gotten fwtool to work, i will try to sign the ftp as soon as i come back from a snow trip with my girlfriend today, i will send the signed ftp to people who helped for testing.
And to any mod that reads this, its not leaking, i am signing it with tools other than sdk, so i can post it in non premium section

UPDATE 2: i going to try to replace all the keys in fwtool with the keys required to sign homebrew executables, but i need a question answered, do i use appldr keys?

i just want to say, if you ask for the ftp, you aren't getting it, those who will get it, know who they are.

UPDATE 3: Well im sorry to say i've been beaten to it, I can't say who did it, and i can't say when it will come out, but it's been done and I have given up

I gave it my best shot, made some progress, lost a lot of hours of sleep, and learned so much

Hopefully someone signs it with Matt's algorithm, so non premiums can have it too Upside Down Happy

Big thanks to Dylan_Owns, ZoneTw0, and _Alfa_

Claps its also funny that chances are b4 anyone ACTUALLY RELEASES A HOMEBREW PKG FILE THAT RUNS there will be a tool to convert the existing ones all this experimenting everyone is doing and ppl who havenet hacked since the wii scene are coming to the ps3 scene I KNOW IVE BEEN DIRECTING A GR8 DEAL OF MY WII FRIENDS HERE from that scene.

I bet with all the shift in interest youll see alot happen it will take one person releasing a emulator or something and the whole scene will be up that developerz azz for the tools LOL :dingding:

I see you think like Broseidon. Great reasoning, but I assume you would be unwilling to test firmware on your PS3. I wouldn't either. Self-signing is a good way to go, as bricking is never a serious possibility.

And to patch the kernel... that would definitely be hard.

Let's look at PSP CFW. M33 is a good example. They had to do a serious amount of testing and work to allow unsigned code to run, and did plenty of paperweighting along the way. PS3 will be no different.

Check out my algorithm thread (hopefully many of you have!)Winky Winky
This is Skyerleighty's thread, so I won't hijack it. Thanks for your work! You should look into Mathieulh's tool, if you feel you have the skills!

Well im trying to do something with encryptation and the only thing i do was

Take a Final Fantasy Crystal Defenders pkg (buyed and downloaded from computer)

I put it in a usb and install ok.

Then

i take the PKG decrypter and decrypt all the data, it extract every folders and files.

I modify de source code and the .Dec file is not deleted.
On that file, there is a file and directory table.

I take all the code of .Dec file and encrypt ( with the key from original file line 0x70).
it encrypt this code into a .Enc file.

I copy all the data from this Enc file and replace with the code int the original PKG file.

I put it in a usb an it install ok.

This means the encryptation decryptation is ok in my C# code.

But i have a problem and is this:

In the .Dec are all the data of each file the length etc
the only one we need and want is EBOOT.BIN
if i get all the code from .Dec where is definied to the eboot.bin and compare with the extracted files both are the same.

Well seeing this i thought, i get the whole code of FTP SERVER EBOOT.BIN and replace the Final Fantasy CD EBOOT whit the FTP.
Encript the data and trying to install

I have to complete the length of the ftp server eboot.bin with 00 to complete the same length that have the Final Fantasy CD eboot.bin

But dont work, both files (original FFCD pkg and my FFCD modified) pkg have the same length etc,
But when is on the 14% fails....

Any recomendation?

If i extract my FFCD Modified PKG whit PKG decrypter it extract all the files correctly

I have a little lines at the original PKG that i dont understand.

The last 4 lines and the last 4 lines before the encrypted data....

Help¿

I know how to encrypt the data and how to decrypt but there are some things that i dont understand and i dont know how to do it

Like a PKG from the begining....

Im already doing and trying

No.
We can´t do it. and doing it dont work

I say.

In original PKG file, there are a few lines that arent encrypted.

In the decrypter source code say it is only encrypted a few lines not signed the whole file, and to Decrypt dont use the entire code of the PKG

Thats why we cant.

I´ll do it, i decrypt and extract a pkg (Final Fantasy DC pkg) and then reencrypt .Dec file, created by PKG Decrypter Extractor and the Final Fantasy DC pkg, is working

But i dont know how change a eboot with the other one.....

Im gonna try something

Do you guys really think this is possible? I got told that they can't sign the PKGs so they are just going to bring out CFW or something that lets you run unsigned PKGs. Don't get me wrong though, I don't know anything about all this PKG shit... lol. Good luck guys. Smile

Im downloading now "Life with Playstation" PKG to compare and try to know where is the problem.

My modified PKG extracts ok whit PKG Decrypter Extractor, and all the files are ok, but dont install.....

Maybe the eboot.bin?

My eboot.bin is the FTP Server eboot.bin and added 00 to the end for complete the original size of the original eboot.bin from FFCD....

Someone can try an eboot if i send it (i only can send the eboot, and "you" have to do the pkg whit the other files Icon0. param.sfo and USRDIR")?
Do the pkg and try it in a ps3 jailbreaked and see if the FTP Server install etc
I dont have a ps3 jailbreaked im on 3.55 with MFW

Sorry

Lately the state of new custom firmware has been about as clear as mud. There are 2 3.55 custom firmwares released. At this point neither will run anything not signed. From this point on I have no idea the point of running a custom 3.55 firmware. Is there any benefits at this point for using this? The OFW 3.55 is NOT modable, nor is it downgradeable. Does the custom 3.55 have this ability? None of the websites that carry release info have explained the benifits and drawbacks of these new tools. I see a lot of speculation and hopes, just little that is concrete. I assume the people here are more willing to either explain, or direct me to the information. Thanks in advance.
