50w ago - This weekend the E3 Team have announced a new PS3 JailBreak alongside news of another PlayStation 3 DRM-infected USB dongle currently in development.

Below are the details, as follows: Official Statement from E3 Team Regarding a New PS3 Jailbreak

Few days ago, there was news posted on various Web sites that we had cloned JB2 (aka) True Blue (TB) successfully.

We clarify we did not clone any other product, but we did find the ways on how to allow the newer games to work on CFW v3.55.

Our research has found 3 different ways to allow newer games to work on older firmwares!

A way:

• No need of any new keys, but allows SOME new games to work on CFW v3.55 with a special bypass.
  
• We think the USB device on market uses this system. (Maybe)
  
• With this method, most games even v4.11 games can run on CFW v3.55 very easily.
  
• But there has some games that can't work with this A way.
  

E3 Team knows this A way...

Download: TB / Cobra Payloads (2.84 MB) / TB / Cobra Payloads (2.84 MB - Mirror) / TB / Cobra Payloads (2.84 MB - Mirror) / PS3 True Blue MFW (172.19 MB)

I have figured out where the payload is located of the TB and Cobra dongles. You can find it at offset @360000 in lv2_kernel and 7f0000 in PS3 memory. According to the PS3 Developer Wiki (ps3devwiki.com/index.php/ReDRM_/_Piracy_dongles) the LV2 dump payload at 0x7f0000 has also been decrypted @ LV2 dump 0x7f0000 (pastebin.com/3VG76HQs)

Drag and drop payload in IDA and load it in Binary file mode, Processor type PPC.Press...
