If you are serious about trying this and getting further than me or try to critique me on what I did then read the WHOLE thread.

I know in the other thread I said I wasn't going to share my breakthrough but its 4am and I'm too tired to keep testing it, I know this is going to sound really stupid but its using notepad. Basically I got to the point where, it would install as if it were official but it would never run and it would make my PS3 constantly crash and the hard drive **** up, probably due to me accidentally ****ing with the actual parts of the .pkg rather than the start, or its just never going to work. I stuffed around with it in the notepad when I replaced the start of the file with one from said official signed file... I would know what part this was but I can't find the official version of what I was using it was something I've had for awhile but I saved over it because you can't save as a different .pkg file using notepad or it will just save as a text file /facepalm

What I have basically been doing is comparing the different starts of the files, that are in every single signed .pkg file actually made by sony, I saved one here but the rest I forgot because I was too pumped,

*PKG€ * À * * ** *` *à (code1 download so its the actual code, no asteriks: You must login or register to view this content. )

You will have to have the right fonts saved on your computer to use them/see them though or they're useless.

Oh btw, the file I got installed as official was using the whole complete start of the BF1943 unlock :

*PKG€ * À * * ** *` *àUP0006-NPUB30077_00-BF1943USLICENSE0 and it also had a shitload of spaces I really can't be bothered counting, but I REALLY don't think that matters.. (Code2 download so its the actual code no asterisks: You must login or register to view this content.)

THE ASTERISKS ARE LETTER CHARACTERS THAT IT WON'T LET ME POST /facepalm I uploaded them as .txt files so you can actually use them now

P.S.

The freeware program Notepad++ is better to do this in.

Replacing the data from an unsigned .pkg and putting it into an already signed .pkg is alot easier if you have any idea what you're doing.

I HONESTLY think doing ANY of this is useless and no one else will get any further with this, geohot probably modified the firmware instead of .pkg files themself, its easier but more dangerous, you can easily brick your PS3.

P.P.S That thread I posted about testing the .pkg files without a PS3 thread doesn't always work for all .pkg file types, for example I looked at .pkg files that are a part of the actual firmware itself and they won't extract/open with it Cool Man (aka Tustin) some official .pkg files for games also didn't work when I tested them, the one I used to install ftp server didn't even work.

Also, alot of this probably won't make any sense due to me being so tired and I've gone over some parts and changed parts of what I've written.

In conclusion like I said I honestly don't think anyone will get any further in this but is more than welcome to try all they want to, you can find all the signed .pkg files you want in my other thread. I would also recommend trying to use SCE start of .pkg files I would post em but it takes like 20 mins to compare all the files just do it yourself xD... you can find the SCE start in firmware .pkg files just extract your firmware and look through the .PKG files there are tools about this

I also just realised I haven't put a download link for the modded file that installed but didn't run and crashed when I did, so here it is:You must login or register to view this content. it might be uploaded wrong my connection sucks also. Only problem with it is after I ran it off of USB and the PS3 crashed parts of it changed after it was used, I really can't be ****ed bothering with it anymore, just compare parts of stuff with ctrl+f using find etc.... If anything doesn't make any sense english-wise in this thread let me know I'm so tired xD I'll fix it in the morning...

Also subscribe to my youtube channel, it will be the first place anything goes if I figure this out, as a 30 second video showing it done is faster than a thread to make and tutorial to put in it to do xD You must login or register to view this content.

right ok. im still half asleep and the amount of stuff ive took in over the past few hours is ****d up. but im no expert, just tryna help out. right so yous say you can get it signed but not being able to run it and i noted on another post that when you officially sign the .PKG files they encrypt. So basically what im tryna say is can't you get the FTP server decrypt it sign it and then re encrypt it, ive seen a few encrypters/decrypters flying about but then again like i said i aint no expert just trying to help. NO FLAMING PLEASE xxx

It's funny, Broseidon is better than you, and at least he's actually trying, even if it IS hopeless...

Oh, and your registration date, you only joined because of the CFW, and odds are that you're just another one of the newfags who think they know what they're doing and the only reason you registered here is to take all you can without contributing anything...

OK but what you are trying to do is add a header to an unsigned pkg with an unsigned and unencrypted eboot inside.

Oh well none of the devs are doing it so what I am going to do is compile some opensource ftp with psl1ght or something else, then use failoverflows makeself with geohots released app keys and then let that encrypt it, sign it, give it a header, etc with sony's key.Then once done with that I will package it into a pkg and sign it since the keys are released. Then I am going to test it by installing it on my JB ps3 and then try to run it without the JB on. THen I am going to try and install it with the JB off. So i can see if the pkg works.

It COULD work if you sign/encrypt the EBOOT first, THEN do it...
