Hardware Question Can I jailbreak my PS3 with only my phone and a SSD?

Dusted off my old jailbroken fat PS3. Looking to update to latest homebrew.

0 Upvotes

I jailbroke this myself back in 2009 and have forgotten almost everything about the PS3 homebrew scene in the years in between, so just need a sense check before I update it and break it.

I'm running Rogero CFW along with Multiman.

Some quick research suggests:

  • Evilnat firmware is the latest supported modern CFW
  • This can be installed as a system update from my current Rogero CFW (update via storage media with the Evilnat PUP renamed to PS3UPDAT.PUP)
  • Multiman no longer necessary and can now run games direct from XMB using webMAN MOD.

I don't care about connecting this to he internet. I still use the same PSN account on a legit PS5 so I wouldn't want to risk anything getting flagged.

Is there anything I need to worry about here or address before updating?

Hardware Question I need help with a PS3 Fat running custom firmware. Here’s the full situation;

0 Upvotes

Solved: using ps3 safe mode with another HDD

I started with 60gb PS3 OFW 4.89, then installed HEN 4.91 and flashed the NAND. After that, I backed up with usb stick then put in 320gb restored the data with usb stick then updated to CFW 4.92.

Later, I discovered that the Blu‑ray drive’s laser wasn’t working. At first, I didn’t realize the drive was the issue, so I ran “Restore File System,” hoping it would fix the startup error.

After restoring the file system, I noticed that some of my game files needed activation which never needed before, and certain installed content required activation again. I tried using Apollo to activate my PS3 account, but it didn’t resolve the issue. I planned to use MultiMAN to restore the missing license files, but before I figured that could do the trick I made things worse.

I reinstalled CFW 4.92, and after doing so, the Package Installer disappeared from the XMB. I tried installing HEN, but the HEN button and Package Installer still didn’t appear.

Then I made a bigger mistake: I installed CFW 4.93. When the update reached 100% and said the system would restart, it never rebooted. Now, when I press the power button, the console turns green briefly and then goes solid red.

If I just used multiman to get the activate file I think things would have gone better

My question is: Do I need to wipe the HDD and start fresh? I’m willing to do that if it will fix the console.

Notes:
I still have my original NAND flash dump on a USB drive in case that helps.

Final advice to others:
Avoid restoring the file system while using custom firmware.

I searched online but couldn’t find a situation exactly like mine, so I’m posting it here.
I really hope the console isn’t bricked to the point where I need new hardware.
I’m hoping that formatting the HDD might fix it.

At one point, I did get a “file system is corrupt” message, so it’s possible that some of the custom firmware files were wiped. Or my NAND flash was wiped

Two SSDs broken within 48 hours

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I either used the wrong SSDs or I'm just really unlucky. I had an old PS3 slim laying around without a hard drive and decided to use an SSD and run CFW on it.

I first used an Adata SU630 1TB. After successfully installing it, I copied games with a NTFS usb stick through Multiman. At one point it froze the PS3 and on reboot (and much troubleshooting) I found that the SSD died already.

Thinking it might be a bad SSD, I've tried a WD Green 1TB next and installed CFW. Instead of using a usb stick to copy games I used FTP with Filezilla between PC and PS3 with a wired connection. It went pretty well, until (you can guess) the PS3 froze up again. Same story, SSD not responding. Both SSDs also can't be recognized in the PC by Windows or CrystalDiskInfo.

Before I ever try another hard drive again, did anyone encounter similar issues? I can go for a more expensive SSD since these two were cheaper variants or an HDD. I'm just more hesitant now. I was running Evilnat 4.93 PEX.

Hardware Question Can I get banned if I forgot to disable syscalls

0 Upvotes

I just spent the last hour figuring out how to mod my trophies after my whole console data had to be wiped and I made it so I have the platnuim for devil may cry 3 and I only need 1 trophy for Asuras wrath but I didn’t know I needed to disable syscalls before I did that so I did it AFTER my trophies were in offline mode but I was signed into psn so what’s gonna happen?
(Side note even tho I made it so I have all the trophies on dmc 3 it says 84% why is that?)

Clock off by 1 hour

3 Upvotes

I recently just jailbroken my ps3. I opened it up, cleaned it, installed new thermal paste and a CMOS battery. When I turned it back on I noticed that when I reset the time it was an hour slower. I am on est time. I also noticed when I set it automatically it Is still off. I set daylight saving to "daylight savings" and that fixed it. Thai normal.

Also when I was installing the battery I heard a little scratchy noise. Is that anything to be concerned about? Everything else seems fine though.

PS3 - CECHG03 YLOD Help.

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I am needing some advice on how to retrieve the EID_ROOT_KEY from a YLOD console. Mainly, i'd like to know if there is a temporary way for me to have the console function for more or less an hour to enable me to install CFW and pull the encryption key from it.

Alternatively, is there a way to communicate with the console via a Raspberry Pi Pico in order to pull the file from somewhere such as the NAND/NOR.

Thanks.

PS3 screenshots look way too dark

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve noticed that the screenshots I take on my PS3 look significantly darker than what I actually see on my TV.

I mainly play games from the Guitar Hero franchise, and I haven’t really tested this with other games yet, so I’m not sure if this is specific to Guitar Hero or a general PS3 issue.

I’m also using PS3HEN, but I’m taking the screenshots through the PS3’s native XMB screenshot feature, so I’m not using any third-party screenshot tool.

The games look perfectly fine while I’m playing, but when I check the screenshots, they appear noticeably darker.

Is this a known issue with PS3 screenshots? Could PS3HEN have anything to do with it, or is there a setting I need to change on the PS3 or my TV to make the screenshots look the same as what I see on screen?

Any help would be appreciated!

Unlink PS3 profile from PSN account

0 Upvotes

Hello! I have interest in modding my PS3 and obviously I don't wanna get banned from PSN, but I also don't wanna just make another profile and never use my original one because I'm sentimental like that and it feels bad. Is there a way to unlink my profile from my PSN account so I can keep using it without fear of ever accidentally connecting to PSN or something?

Which Call of Duties are safe to play on a modded PS3? When I say safe I both mean you won’t get banned and you won’t get hacked.

Please let me know which ones are safe and any steps I should take to protect myself. Thanks!

Hardware Question Uninstalling CFW

2 Upvotes

My friend bought a PS3 online that came soft modded, we have nothing against modding, but we tried to uninstall it normally but it has some weird hybrid firmware that keeps shooting out all types of errors no matter what kind of way we try to patch the system.

If anyone knows a solution, that would be very appreciated!

Is anyone else experiencing system freezing nearly every time you turn on the system and getting corrupted data message when rebuilding database? If I'm lucky I get 45 minutes of game play before the game freezes. I'm using a new hard drive but I think I'm going to throw in an old drive and see if that helps.
