Talk:PSJailbreak Exploit Reverse Engineering
From PS3Wiki
What firmware versions will this work with?
The exploit should work on any firmware version, but the current payload only works on 3.41 -- phire
As i read it is not needed to have the dongle plugged in the whole time? My Question is what happens after rebooting the ps3? will homebrews still be installed
and bootable? --Vaultoutboy 17:05, 1 September 2010 (CEST)
They will be still installed, but unless you boot with the exploit you can't run them. This might change at a later date, think back to the original xbox softmods. -- phire
How hard would it be for Sony to patch this exploit in the next firmware release? If trivial, does that mean that basically this exploit will be useless in a few weeks unless we never update ever again?
Semi-trivial. but yes, in a few weeks don't upgrade your console. -- phire
Can this exploit and having full access to lvl 2 faciliate research of other vulnerabilities in the system, or does this not give us more than what dev consoles already have?
I think dev consoles only give access to lvl 2 applications. Besides only a few people have dev consoles, so just having it in reach of more people increases the odds of finding exploits. -- phire
Is anyone planning on porting the payload to firmware 3.15?
Export to other devices like BlackBerry
I think this can be exported to other devices with USB port access, in example, Blackberry phones. Imagine a Blackberry application conected to de PS3 via usb cable runing a java app that do the magic work. Can you help me with tech specs about a similar port? i dont know the abstraction level of the USB BlackBerry Libs, cold be suficient a serial read/write to the port? thanks!
In theory this will work with devices like PSP, Iphone or Android too. Just wait a little bit, the scene is working on solutions --Vaultoutboy 15:40, 2 September 2010 (CEST)
I can do the work but need help! i only have access to the USB port on read/write mode at the BB , see this
need some help with the hub emulator at this point.
That interface doesn't look anywhere near powerful enough to run the exploit. Maybe if you were controlling the driver at the kernel level it would work, but I doubt any application level interface will work. I recommend you just give up now. -- phire
I found another low level lib... i think this can work

what do you think about this one? Thanks
nope, still way to high -- phire
PSGroove idea: Would it be possible to take a USB chip that's connected to an SD card reader, and have it load the payload off of that? And possibly have it rewrite the entire gameos 100% with a custom one, so that extensive patching can be done? Daniel.benoy 16:53, 3 September 2010 (CEST)
Example retail board with an SD reader: http://tinyurl.com/36nqxp3
Yes, that would be possible, but there are other places you can get more patches from, like the harddrive or network. -- phire
