(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); hey guys,
I can unpack and repack the pup file and the ps3 registers it, i just cant unpack the package files within update_files.tar.

Really want to be able to get inside these files.

Oh yeh, and wtf does the update_flags.txt do? i've heard it is possible to flag the core os to be downgraded using these flags...
i've tried setting them to 0101 just to see what it did, and it says data corrupted. then changed it back to 0000 and it began to install.


EDIT: HOW DO YOU CLOSE THREADS OR CAN ONLY MODERATORS DO IT?

how do you repack? +rep if you give me program

im using the fail0verflow linux tools as i couldnt get it to work on windows

well my setup on linux the keys are in /home/YOURNAME/.ps3
the folder will not appear to be there as any folder with '.' at the beginning makes it hidden, view them by selecting View>Show hidden files or CTRL+H

i open the terminal then go to where the fail0verflow tools are:
cd '/home/Johnathan/Documents/PS3/fail0verflow_ps3tools_linux'
or drag and drop the tool you want to use.

if you used the directory method load your files using ./ example:
./pupunpack FILE_DRIRECTORY/FILENAME.PUP OUTDIRECTORY

So you have unpacked them sucessfully to repack use
./puppack FILENAME.PUP FILE_CONTENTS_DIRECTORY

I assume you already knew this i just wanted to make sure we were on the same page.

When you unpack the pup file make sure you have something relative to this:
sections: 5
hdr size: 00000000_00000190
data size: 00000000_005193a8
header hmac: OK
unpacking version.txt (00000000_00000008 bytes; hmac: OK)...
unpacking license.txt (00000000_00040000 bytes; hmac: OK)...
unpacking ps3swu.self (00000000_0000f860 bytes; hmac: OK)...
unpacking vsh.tar (00000000_00005000 bytes; hmac: OK)...
unpacking update_files.tar (00000000_004c4b40 bytes; hmac: OK)...

make sure the header hmac is OK if its ????? then thats your problem.

I think to solve this download all the keys from the github repository, will post link shortly.
