stoker25 via PSX-Scene has released CFWLoad v1.0 with source code, which he states is essentially a clone of
JaicraB's
PS3 USB Custom Firmware Loader with a few differences for people with USBs that have different numbers.
Download:
CFWLoad v1.0 for PS3
For those interested in
modifying the PlayStation 3 registry files, previously he released a
PS3 Registry xRegistry.sys File Editor followed by
PS3 Multi Tool v0.2.
To quote on his latest release:
It's a clone of JaicraB's USB FIRM LOADER, with a few differences for people like me with USBs that have different numbers.
Features:
• Choose what USB to use!
• Redirect dev_flash to usb
• Redirect app_home to usb
• Dump LV2 kernel and mount points
...along with all the source code that does it
NOTE: You need a payload with peek and poke syscalls (PL3 dev has this).
Usage:
• X - (Un)Patch /dev_flash as usb
• Square - (Un)Patch /app_home as usb
• Select - Dump lv2.bin & mounts.bin to usb
• Up/Down - Change USB
• Triangle - Exit
The dev_flash files have to be on the root of the USB drive to work, e.g. if E:/ is your drive, you should have E:/vsh, E:/vsh/modules, etc...
Make a PS3_GAME folder on your USB for the thing in the Game menu to work. App has some bugs, but it is my first PS3 program.
Thx:
JaicraB - original CFW loader
dwarfcrank - reversing the CFW loader
Great man thx for the info !...
you mean i can't load lower firmware with this tool ! if we are in 3.60+ we can't load 3.55cfw from usb? if we dump dev_flash app_home LV2 kernel to load from usb ! one more thing someone say that we can dump whole ps3 RAM on 3.55 is it use in this tool.
Like cfwprophet points out, I'm only editing files not signed/encrypted, which are only the .rco and .xml files. The self/sprx files in the new FWs use keys we do not have so we cannot decrypt them or encrypt them.
It is also for this reason that you can't use a FW loader to give you a 4.11 CFW. Using any of the new FW files without re-encrypting them for 3.55, will simply result in the PS3 crashing on boot. As the new FW files will not be decryptable by the relevant 3.55 CFW Ldr.self
