(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Rejoice backup lovers out there, we all knew netkas and flukes1 were working on patching lv2 to allow peek and poke, but recent developments made us fear some bad stuff since some ps3 got bricked, it was rumored that the patch to lv2 would be released yesterday, it didn’t, it got released today:

README

Patch to add peek and poke syscalls to PS3 firmware 3.55
by flukes1 and netkas (irc.efnet.net #ps3test)

To create the patched PS3UPDAT.PUP:

1. Use bspatch to apply PS3UPDAT.PUP.bsdiff to Sony’s official 3.55 PUP, which is available from their website.

2. Run this from command line : ” bspatch PS3UPDAT.PUP PS3UPDAT-NEW.PUP PS3UPDAT.PUP.bsdiff ”

2. Ensure that the md5sum of the resulting PS3UPDAT.PUP is

337831fac6a9b05074f73710c4bb7c86
[/b]

Simply install the patched PS3UPDAT.PUP onto your PS3, then install geohot’s jailbreak.

Our PUP can be installed over any firmware version, including 3.55-geohot. If you install over 3.55-geohot, you must reinstall geohot’s jailbreak afterwards.

For developers: peek is syscall 6, poke is syscall 7 (same as PL3 dev payload)

Props to mastag22, lastExile, Killer_In – our testers with balls of steel.

Enjoy!
- flukes1, netkas


So guys there you have the thing you all be waiting for, note that backup managers won’t automatically run using this, some backup managers need to have some mods done by their creators in order to work, but this will certainly open a lot of doors even for other tools that also require peek and poke.

Say your thanks to flukes1 and netkas for their amazing job! and to mastag22, lastExille and killer_in for risking their consoles for the scene!

Installed this about 3 or so hours ago. Can confirm it 100% working.

Now we play the waiting game once more.

EDIT: By "working" I mean it installed successfully with console not turned into a building block.

Do a barrel roll!
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe this .pup which was released did not work correctly. They have released a version 2 of it, however, its still undergoing tests.

LOL LOL LOL

Actually they are now working on a second CFW which they are still having problems with and have mentioned that this CFW can actually be harmfull to the PS3

There's also another issue, mapping peek &poke to syscalls 6 &7 as mathieulh also stated is a bit dangerous, they will have to use some other (unused) syscalls for peek & poke...
That's the status few minutes ago....

So, for now, if you are on 3.41, don't jump in the 3.55-jb train.....
Wait till they sort all the problems first...!
