Fix TAR v3 PS3 Homebrew App for Retail and Debug 4.0 Firmware

As i see, the data for fix_tar have changed too much on FW 4.00 Retail

In PUP file 3.55, the data are all the same (PKG/TAR, update_files.tar, etc...):



But in a PUP file 4.00 is different, data of update_files.tar and PKG/TAR files of dev_flash are not the same like 3.55 PUP:



As you can see we have to use two fix_tar files for each one, i made and fixed these tools, fix_tar_pkg-tar (for PKG/TAR files of dev_flash) and fix_tar_update (for update_files.tar)

I think all is correct what i made, i check data for long time

I hope it helped cfwprophet

No, absolutely no, since it is an .exe for windows to work on creating and fixing of the firmware. It's an application for the developers, so it isn't used by normal user, and few people usually use it, so it's very difficult someone notices a bug and reports it on a forum.

Maybe the permissions weren't included into source code so the application writes them at wrong offset. I would like to invite other developers here on forum as Evilnat aka nathanr3269 to work on it if it's the case.

Take consider this version has only a little bug, the previous version (tar_fix_v2 by TEAMSOS) is completely lopsided and doesn't work as it promised because it doesn't fix the values as it should do (the values assigned are incorrect). I hope cfwprophet fixes as soon as he can, since he is already busy with his tests and his hardware flasher on own ps3.

ok, i see, explain the bug, could it cause a brick in worst case?

I'll try to be aware of such statements in future. Just got a message from Ezio about a bug which i could track down as mine one

Anyway i fix'd that and will do some more test's then i'll post the fix version

I tkink this is devs only app but how a hombrew app for 4.00 retail and debug, nice work , how you sign this homebrew app for new FW? can you release the keys?

This is interesting to me: "Also what Mathieulh has stated about the 3.55 / 3.56 tar owner id, owner and group is simply BS. It hasn't changed up to 3.72. Debug tar's have diff info but on 4.0 Retail/Debug it's the same"

Can you explain what math said and what BS? he is a rat.
