Remarry PS3 Blu-ray Drives on 3.15 & 3.50 FW Without Downgrading

Category: PS3 Hacks & JailBreak  By: PS3 News - (ps3devwiki.com)
Tags: remarry ps3 blu-ray drives remarry ps3 drives ps3 downgrading ps3 fw downgrade

63w ago - Following up on their previous 3.55 release, today the anonymous PlayStation 3 developers have shared details on remarrying PS3 Blu-ray drives on Firmware 3.15 and 3.50 without the need for downgrading the consoles.

Download: Remarry PS3 Blu-ray Drive on 3.15 FW / Remarry PS3 Blu-ray Drive on 3.50 FW / Remarry PS3 Blu-ray Drive on 3.50 FW (Mirror) / Remarry PS3 Blu-ray Drive on 3.55 FW / Remarry PS3 Blu-ray Drive on 3.55 FW (Mirror) / Remarry PS3 Blu-ray Drive on 3.55 FW (Mirror)

Changes: Small error fixed, FDM is resigned proper now for all versions (3.15, 3.50, 3.55)

From the included ReadMe files via the PlayStation 3 Developer Wiki (linked above), to quote:

Remarry guide for 3.15 firmware

1. Have the console on a working 3.15 firmware

2. Download the Remarry files (remarry-3.15.rar) and unpack to root of USM Mass Storage device. The following line is already changed from 1 to 0:

     #---------------------------------------------
     # Install Systemsoftware
     #   0 = ??s?????
     #   1 = ??s????
     #----------------------------------------------
     0
This will make sure the drive init PUP is not installed, thus preventing RLOD because of syscon hashes on downgraded consoles.

3. Download official firmware <=3.30 as drive init PUP and put it root of USB Mass Storage device

Content of USB Mass Storage device should be thus be:

MD5: / SHA1: / CRC32: / CRC16:

  • Lv2diag.self C48E5EBFC00ABD89094CB73A2B0BEA59 / D229AC694910272DDEA9276B9FD4A2664800638C / C2D0A2B0 / 5327
  • manufacturing_updater_for_reset.self 9E3C9024E9243478D21C78E1C9DF2376 / 922EA202CA2EA36EBF2B5054605E17409B9A56E6 / 93F18A95 / EA0D
  • fdm_spu_module.self BD9B61DBAA0F068C28563C7A0A62F3D5 / 85B4F6DF16A5B643BE67C7AFC55D2E6BF00B7B99 / C95B7E8 / FDD0
  • PS3UPDAT.PUP
  • cfg/standalone.cfg

4. Put the service mode JIG/dongle/PSGrade into port 0 (closest to the reader) and get into factory service mode.

5. Put the created USB Mass Storage device from step 3 into port 0 (closest to the reader) and run.

  • Drive Init Executing means it is starting the remarry process
  • Drive Init Failed with big pink letters 'NG' (No Good!) means the process failed. Most likely solved by fixing the communication issue with the drive.

6. After you run the initial remarry process, do not take it out of factory service mode.

7. Put a BD movie disc in and run it on the PS3. (This restores your DRL files!)

8. Then you can take it out of factory service mode.

9. Launch as normal.

Remarry guide for 3.50 firmware

EID2

You will new decrypted EID2 data. How to get it on Linux is described here: (ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Spuisofs#Dumping_EID2_Key_with_spuisofs)

EID2 contains encrypted P-Block and S-Block. To get decrypted S-Block and P-Block first you have to decrypt EID2 with EID2 key and IV and then decrypt the blocks with DES-CBC. P-Block and S-Block DES-CBC IV and key:


IV: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
key: 6C CA B3 54 05 FA 56 2C


Writing P-Block

• P-Block is stored in BD buffer 2.
• BD buffer 2 is of size 0x60 bytes.
• P-Block is in decryoted EID2 at offset 0x20 and of size 0x80.
• Not all P-Block data is sent to BD drive. Only data starting at offset 0x10 and of size 0x60 bytes is written to BD drive buffer 2.

Test

Tested on my PS3 Slim with OtherOS++.
After writing P-Block to BD drive buffer 2, authenticate the BD drive with ps3dm.
# First enable writing BD buffer 2

sudo ./bd_enable_buffer_write -b 2

# Write P-Block to BD buffer 2

sudo ./bd_write_buffer -b 2 -i pblock.bin

# Authenticate the BD drive

sudo ps3dm -v sm drive_auth 0x29 # It should not fail !!!
ss status 0

Writing S-Block

• S-Block is stored in BD buffer 3.
• BD buffer 3 is of size 0x670 bytes.
• S-Block is in decryoted EID2 at offset 0xa0 and of size 0x690.

Writing New HRL to BD Drive

HRL is stored in BD buffer 4. BD buffer 4 is of size 0x8000 bytes.
[code]glevand@debian:~$ sudo sg_read_buffer -i 4 -m 2 -o 0 -l 0x8000 -r /dev/sr0 | hexdump -C

I got a pink "NG" like the picture below. What does that mean and how do I fix it?

Thanks for this tidbit of information! I've got another drive on its way and will have to try this when it arrives! I had a bad laser so they are replacing it for me and will then try the process again.

The only blu-ray film that I put the console before upgrading to CFW was the original blu-ray (Queen Rock Montreal & Live Aid). I still have it!

How can I generate drl files? Tutorial?

Thanks

I solve the problem! My ps3 can play all my Blu-rays!!!

I used the DRLTools (DRLGen): http://www.ps3news.com/PS3-Hacks-JailBreak/drltools-drlgen-v0-90-easy-ps3-blu-ray-playback-fix-arrives/

And used FTP to backup and copy the DRL files!
