Video: BlueDisk CFW v4.25 is Released, PS3 CFW 4.25 PSN Demo

30w ago - Following up on the previous update, today the BlueDisk CFW Team (aka E3 Team) have announced that users will need to dump and expose your PS3 EEID (using the EID0.bin generated by their dumper below which requires using their DRM-infected CD Key scheme) and send it to them, and they will send back a 4.25 PUP CFW with strings (yet to be specified) attached so be cautious!

Download: BlueDisk CFW Upgrader v1.01 and Manual (10.84 MB) / BlueDisk CFW Upgrader v1.01 and Manual (Mirror) / BlueDisk CFW Upgrader v1.01 and Manual (Mirror #2) / XMB eEID Dumper and MM v4.25 (12.11 MB) / XMB eEID Dumper and MM v4.25 (Mirror) / XMB eEID Dumper and MM v4.25 (Mirror #2) / 4.25to3.55.rar / cfw3.55checkoff.zip

From GraVoX959:

• 8BCF7AB97EE4B9D9F74ECDF9FA9E59A8 = cfw3.55checkoff
  
• 8BCF7AB97EE4B9D9F74ECDF9FA9E59A8 = 3.55 Rogero v2 CEX
  

So no need to re-download cfw3.55 checkoff if you have CEX Rogero v2 3.55

From naehrwert:

reDRM mechanism / eid0 binding

• aim_spu_module.self
  

the check is basically a
nonbound eid0 firmware

To remove eid0 binding, replace the aim_spu_module.self Iso module from one unpatched OFW 4.25 (tested, it works).

From Dutch user Senaxx comes some additional download links, related info and a PS3 CFW 4.25 PSN demo video below:

• http://www.mediafire.com/?jxu0d97sflb5717 the 4.25 pup, generated by them based on my dumped eid0. (also one from bubba: http://www.sendspace.com/file/xx9qal and from Luckystar: http://kuai.xunlei.com/d/TJAKBXYICPTO via ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Bluedisk_EID0_reDRM)
  
• http://www.mediafire.com/?al6zi78c0i5g87c the generator with needs a CDKey and eid0. CDKey doesn't seem to be online checked but locally.
  
• http://www.mediafire.com/?1ib0c9b3b3mrld7 the eid0 used
  
• http://www.mediafire.com/?427zjuqovgabi74 - their modified multiMAN (which was signed with PS3 4.00 - 4.11 Keys that have yet to be leaked)
  
• IP from the PUP where it downloaded from: 67.198.173.122
  
• My wireshark picked up this generated url: http://67.198.173.122/webeditor/PS3UPDAT_9E8302C692EEFBD1.PUP the numbers in the url are the CDKey used.
  
• multiMAN 02.08.05 is the delivered and sees the CFW as 3.55 - SC8 - Hermes
  
• I didn't succeed booting memdump or any other homebrew so it seems useless for now. This way people already figured out a lot of stuff, and it doesn't seem to last long.
  
• OFW update / CFW free update forever now is CFW4.25
  

When you enter your credentials and press "Check CDKey" it Generates a file called CFWUpgrader.exe.txt. I used Senaxx's info and it was probably wrong but it generated this log:
When I clicked download it added this to the file:
CD Key
From cfwprpht: Lv0 is resigned and the most of you know what that means. But anyway something good, they don't have 4.00-4.11 priv key. They still use 3.55 but first we need lv0 static key or we find a other way.

From keytor69: CDKey app does perform a check online at 67.198.173.122.CUSTOMER.KRYPT.COM port 8090, notice the word CUSTOMER and not USER.. won't be long before everybody needs 4.30 CD Keys and then get to see the real cost of things.

As stated above do NOT expose your unique identifiable PS3 EEID (contained in EID0.bin) key information (such as your PSN details) or fall for this CDKey scam! You have been warned folks, if they ask for money in order to downgrade, fix, unlock or update / upgrade your PlayStation 3 console down the road you may end up SOL so NOT worth the risk!

We advise everyone to continue using the free CEX EBOOT patch fixes, free DEX updates or simply be patient until a true PS3 scene group or user cracks their useless CDKey protection scheme or leaks the 4.00-4.11 keys.

Finally, rumor also has it a free PS3 CEX / DEX CFW 4.21 will be arriving soon based on deank's recent multiMAN v04.07.01 Full (20121021) update so have faith in the PlayStation 3 scene and wait for free alternatives that do NOT require a lameass CDKey which should be a no-brainer anyway, eh?

Update #2: The BlueDisk CFW CDKey security protection has now been cracked by PS3 scene developers with details added above. Additionally an Italian site (mynewsportal.it/scena-ps3-cfw-4-25-bluedisk-rilasciato/) has released 4.25 Cracked, however, some users (with Flashers) have reported it to be fake as right before installation they receive a corrupt data (8002F15E) error.

Since then the the PS3 LV0 has been resigned and the keys are now available so it won't be long before free legitimate PS3 CFW v4.21 / v4.25 / v4.30 are released!
