Now you can dump rootkey without Linux, @willemse21 brought this news to the board. Nice to see more progress being made on this topic. Needless to say use it at your own RISK. Don’t ask about a n00b tutorial, as far as i know nobody is doing it, hence we are in *testing* stances. When something *foolproof* and noob friendly arises you will see it posted.

[1] Install asbestos_ldr.g.pkg on your PS3 (a firmware with lv2 peek/poke is
required to run it).
[2] Compile the client (make sure PS3HOST in main.cpp points to your PS3).
[3] Make sure you got your metldr in ‘./data’ as ‘metldr’.
[4] A prebuilt ‘dumper’ is included in ‘./data’ (dumper.elf and build.bat is
included too if you want to change parameters).
[5] Start asbestos_ldr on your PS3.
[6] Start the client on your PC.
[7] Unicorns!

You will still need to do some manual editing for the conversion but this is still great news.
@PsDev response:
Nope, once root key is dumped you’re good, just run flash and root key my/gunner tool (Depending on flash) and then validation will be done, just re-flash to you’re now DEX flash and it will still boot into gameOS just now update to 4.11 DEX FW or any DEX FW
