Post: How To Spoof A Firmware
07-12-2014, 03:12 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Since this whole ITA hotfix and everyone crying about the spoofers and shit, I thought I should post a tutorial I found a few months ago on here. Credits to smhabib for this, you're the dude, dude.

What You Need?

HxD or a different hex editor
PUAD GUI (I will provide a link)
SCETOOl


First, you need to know the image version of the firmware. Go into PUAD GUI and load your .pup in there. There should be a box with the image version.

Then you're going to have to extract the dev_flash of your firmware. Then go to
    
DEV_FLASH/VSH/ETC(inside the new firmware)

and copy the index.dat and version.txt of that firmware, and replace it in your current firmware (the one you're spoofing '4.50 ITA'Winky Winky

Next you're going to need extract the vsh.self from
    
DEV_FLASH/VSH/MODULE/VSH.SELF


And use scetool to decrypt the self (SCETOOL -d vsh.self vsh.elf) then open the .elf in HxD.

You're now going to want to search for 'VECTOR' and the before 3 bytes is the image version, just replace with the newest firmware. Next, search for VNT008 and after one byte you should see something like '%02d.%02d' just replace that with your firmware 'EG 4.60' and now the remaining value in hex '25 30 32 64' should all be 00's.

Now encrypt it, by placing original .self and modded .elf and using the command
    
scetool --template vsh.self --sce-type=SELF --compress-data=TRUE --encrypt vsh.elf vsh.self


Then, repack your firmware with the modded files, and you should be good!

I never used spoof and i think it'll most likely will get banned faster, so i'll stay offline in the meanwhile untill REBUG or iTA teams will release 4.60 DEX CFW, cause i never trusted the spoofers. Winky Winky
Anyway thank you and habib for this good method though.

Also, instead of using PUAD GUI to get the image version, you can just check the latest ps3upate.txt link You must login or register to view this content.. Look to where it says ImageVersion=0000f9a6, and just convert that hex value to dec, which would be 63910.

Edit: nvm, this isn't needed. PUAD GUI does everything for you. I've never used it before.
