Post: Possible PS3 4.31 CFW on the works?

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Tis Another Update: To everyone wondering and asking about the new 4.40 update. The keys have remained the same and the core hasn't been touched either, don't even ask.

Update: Firstly, I appreciate each and every one of you for not flaming or trolling and being mature with your comments on the comments section, not only that but I also didn't expect this much attention in less than 24 hours. Anyway, back on topic. Today, it seems that I've come across another hint that could lead to a future homebrew/CFW release. On YouTube, I was originally looking for a tutorial video on installing a CFW CEX ARCH CEX 4.31 v2.04 OtherOS ++ MO_od, but then came across yet another interesting comment made by the video uploader.

I know what you're all thinking, why should something that comes from him matter to us? Well, the thing is, this guy comes from Team SGK and another legit and reliable, PS3 French hacking site: You must login or register to view this content. (for those wondering). The reason I decided to tell you all this is because, simply, don't you think it's rather unusual that we've been getting news like this the past several days? (I.E. The hints I've posted on this thread yesterday). Leave a comment on what you have to say about this, and remember, please be mature with your comments.



It was only yesterday where habs_power_SGK (a Team SGK moderator) made a very interesting comment. I didn't know whether to believe it or not, but what he said was that there's to be a CFW available for release, to install on OFW 4.31. And I quote,

I don't know exactly what a "hot cfw" means, but you get the point. I wouldn't have believed it if something like this was said a year ago, but with how far the PS3 scene has progressed since then, only time will tell at this moment. Nonetheless, I hope this is true, and it could be, in fact there are already hints that something like this could be possible. Let's not forget that the lv0 keys for FWs 4.21, 4.25, and 4.30 were leaked (the 4.31 update didn't change anything from 4.30).

Following up on the PS3 3.60 Keys leak comes a bright light at the end of the PlayStation 3 tunnel, as today an anonymous user has leaked the PS3 LV0 Keys meaning 4.21, 4.25 and 4.30 CFW updates are incoming!

What do we have to say about Sony on the other hand? I highly doubt there's anything for them to do anymore, the PS4 is being released soon, and there hasn't been an update for the PS3 since October 2012. Anyway, back on topic, if you hadn't believed me earlier, feel free to read here: You must login or register to view this content.

So what do you have to say about all of this? Considering that this is coming from a reliable source, by a reliable moderator, could all of this lead to a possible future 4.31 CFW, or is this another hoax? I for one believe that it's too early to guess what's going to happen, but who knows. Please leave what you have to say on the comments section below, your feedback is important. Please be mature with your comments and no flaming or trolling.

you cant disable a ECDSA check without patching the algorithm and for that it needs to be cracked>So forget a full cfw on ps3 on firmware above 3.55
:p

It doesn't disabled technically, it keeps it disabled which is why you need 3.55. 3.55 did not have the ECDSA enabled properly which they fixed in 3.56. The exploit allows us to disable the ECDSA but requires a console with it already disabled.

Either way, I happy for it :happycry:

lol dude the ecdsa key of 3.55 OFW has already been found by team overflow because sony used a single key instead of random keys.So we can install any firmware on 3.55.but as soon as you update to 3.56 this gets patched.We can break any Sony firmwares ,but to install it over official firmware(again greater than 3.55) we need to find the ECDSA Sony key which now uses random keys ,so the ps3 thinks the update came from Sony not from anyone else.Now cracking or more relevant the term "brute-forcing" a key which has trillions and billions of combinations is near and virtually impossible.

In December 2010, fail0verflow announced recovery of the ECDSA private key used by Sony to sign software for the PlayStation 3 game console. However, this attack can be considered invalid against ECDSA because it is Sony who failed to implement valid signature(s). That is, the attack was made possible because Sony failed to generate a new random k for each signature



I hope you get this concept this time and read the comment above as Pseudo_Soldier is also right
PS who ever that prophet guy is if he had disabled the key ,expect him to be locked up in federal prison and a major disaster taking over the world,since every encryption anywhere now uses ECDSA algorithm!!!!

You mean that 4.31 CFW that can only be installed on 3.55? That's different because almost anything can be installed on 3.55. It's definitely a nice step in the right direction but there's nothing available for 4.31 OFW (or any OFW 3.56+) at the moment, simply put.

The most we can see for PS3s OFW 3.56+ is hardware mods. However, if technology makes another giant step and better encryption comes out, than I will believe. For now, it's impossible.

Lol hope your enjoying 4.3x as it has ecsda checks disabled please tell that to rogero,rebug,team sgk,team_acid that they will be in federal prison soon ,dude nothing is impossible trust me i work with some of these's dev's people like you who dont have a clue and all you do is wait for stuff to be released without doing anything to help all you did is copy and paste wow big deal and wrote a few words to act all intelligent to impress people yes i know what ECDSA that's just a digital curve its just mathematics algor we have the public key already if you look let me break it down Private keys are not in ps3 it was when team failoverflow it was in the bios of the ps3 3.55 now ECDSA is in lv2ldr (hope you understand) now a nice little dev who created the new mfw builder called cfwprophet and team_acid has found a way to disable the checks in lv2ldr hense rogero,and rebug to be able to create 4.3x cfw so if you have a nice little flasher installed and actually read up and learned how to reverse engineer <--- hope you do know the term ? ida pro few ps3 plugins to load the elf and coding the bios of the ps3 you can actually install cfw over the top of ofw to disable the check's but for the rest of you lazy go getters to do that.you just wait hands and foot. oh here's something for you to start 0x800000000000FA74 compliments from me and nahertwert go figure what that is? my rant over...!

Seriously bios of ps3????Now I am starting to understand why ps3 scene was so sluggish,they must have got rid of you before starting again so we are seeing so fast developments!! :p
Anyways read this stuff up and stop posting BS
