  Savegames conversion tutorial
  
  WARNING: This option will overwrite your current savedata in dev_usbXXX, use it with caution
  
  
  • Download someone else's savegame for your game of your choice
  • Put the savedata in your pendrive in "X:\PS3\SAVEDATA" (pendrive must be in FAT32)
  • Put in the pendrive in the PS3
  • Select Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > PSN Tools > Convert Savedata
  • Wait until the conversion finishes
  • Once finished, copy your converted savedata throught XMB "Saved Data Utility (PS3)"
  • Launch your game and load your new savedata
  
  
  Creation of act.dat tutorial
  
  WARNING: The accountID is linked to savedata and trophies, so, if your current user already have a valid accountID and you overwrite it, you will be unable to use your trophies and savedata on that account until you restore the original accountID in xRegistry.sys.
  
  I recommend to use an empty account without trophies and savedata or an account without accountID.
  
  To create a fake act.dat, Cobra 8.3 must be enabled, and your PS3 must have at least one account with a valid accountID and launch a game that requires a RIF/RAP license file.
  
  Cobra will search a valid accountID in all existing accounts and create act.dat while the game is launched through the XMB. If no accountID is found, act.dat will not be created.
  
  You can create a fake accountID (like reactPSN), to do this go to Network > ★ Custom Firmware Tools > PSN Tools and choose between "Create accountID" or "Overwrite accountID" (Be careful about the last option because if you already have a fake/real accountID it will be overwritten). It is recommended to use these options in an account that does not have an ID. The PS3 will restart if everything went well.
  
  The tutorial would be the following:
  
  • Download your purchased PSN game from PS Store
  • Put game RAP file in "X:\exdata" or "/dev_hdd0/exdata"
  • Launch your purchased PSN game
  • Cobra will check if any of your PS3 accounts have accountID
  • Faked act.dat will be created while the game is launching
  
  If none of your accounts have a valid accountID you will need to create it. To do this log into the local PS3 account where you want to create the accountID. You can see if your current local account has an accountID choosing Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > PSN Tools > Show accountID.
  
  To create a faked act.dat do the following:
  
  • Make sure Cobra 8.3 is enabled
  • Select Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > PSN Tools > Create accountID
  • Select Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > PSN Tools > Activate account
  • Launch your purchased PSN game
  • Faked act.dat will be created while the game is launching
  
  Now you have a faked act.dat and your local account is activated. The act.dat file works for every local account, you only need one file for all accounts.
  
  
  Block PSN log in
  
  This method is developed by @DeViL303, it will only work with Cobra enabled, Cobra will block log in on PSN/SEN while the CFW syscalls are enabled, to enable it again you need to disable CFW syscalls completely (you can do it with webMAN MOD, psnpatch, SEN Enabler, etc…).
  
  If you want to disable this feature, simply delete /dev_flash/vsh/resource/npsignin_plugin.lck

You are right, on the bright side, this patch has been included in HEN for about 2 years and only 1 person noticed, that I know of. All the same I still don't recommend including it by default.

IMHO if a "toggler" is included in CFW Tools, the extended download plugin could be included and enabled by default. The feature that is broken is rarely used (otherwise the issue would have been reported earlier).

Anyway the "toggler" is already included in Ultimate Toolbox, as well as the XMB File Browser.
It would be just convenient to have these features from the box, for the users that don't install UTB or any other mod.

Moreover, if the "toggler" is not included, it can be toggled easily if the user installs Ultimate Toolbox

 

I see what you guys mean, little negative impact & all that BUT rather than create a toggling system (which will probably be misunderstood & misused by a number of users) I think we are better off addressing the issue once & for all by producing a new static patch if possible & if not, see whether Cobra could eventually handle the situation, especially when some of us including Nat have the necessary skills.
At least, that would be my preferred approach..

 

@Evilnat another suggestion (I think it was already mentioned) is to include in CFW Tools or in Games column the XMB file browser discovered by @DeViL303

It is very useful to browse the file system and delete files without launch apps. It would be useful to have it from the box without having to install any tool.

excellent suggestion, supported

 

The feature that is broken is rarely used (otherwise the issue would have been reported earlier).

i agree. breaking image download is unfortunate but IMO an acceptable loss in exchange for pup and iso support.

If I understood the issue correctly, @DeViL303 please correct me if I am wrong about this, it's not just image "registration" in the dB that is impacted, it's all registrations of all supported files in the dB, consequently impacting at the very least images, music & videos.
What I don't know though is whether or not the rest of the process of adding AV files to the XMB still takes place ie creating a new folder with the date, copying the files in it etc..

 

Yeah this issue affects all media files. It seems it deletes the media file after downloading so there will be no trace on the system.

Right.. So you cannot download media files but at least you don't get any BS leftovers or corruption, that's a good thing I suppose.

 

HEN does not allow CFW installation by itself. Bgtoolset is used to patch the flash for CFW install (HEN is not needed to use the toolset).


First, you have to use bgtoolset to jailbreak. After that you will reboot and install the CFW pup. You can follow this guide or find MrMario2011's bgtoolset video on youtube.

Also, you may not need NoBD firmware. After you use bgtoolset, try installing the normal Evilnat 4.88. Try to run a homebrew like Movian (or a game if you have bought one from Playstation Store and have it installed). If the app or game works, then you do not need NoBD.

THANKS, IF IT WORKED FOR ME

 

Try to reinstall HFW/OFW from Recovery Menu. Did you enabled HEN before installing the CFW?

I added Dump LV2 and Dump LV1 options in xai_plugin, it will dump LV2/LV1 to dev_usb or /dev_hdd0/tmp if there is no usb connected to the PS3.

These options are in [Custom Firmware Tools > Dump Tools > Dump LV2] and [Custom Firmware Tools > Dump Tools > Dump LV1], it need to be installed over CFW 4.88.2 BETA

These options may be the last that I add to xai_plugin for now. I will take a look to other options of the CFW that they have commented to me

Working good =)

BTW something that i never understood properly
The LV1 is the Hypervisor and the LV2 is the Game OS? or Kernel?

 

Working good =)

BTW something that i never understood properly
The LV1 is the Hypervisor and the LV2 is the Game OS? or Kernel?

Lv1 is the hypervisor, it is like a virtual machine manager of sorts, it can run various OS, put one in the background & start another etc.. An OS ultimately needs to communicate with the hypervisor, it goes through the hypervisor to communicate with the hardware etc.., for that purpose, the hypervisor exposes hypervisor system calls to the OS.

Among the OS the hypervisor can run, there is the PS1 emulators, the PSP emulators, the PS2 emulators, Linux (OtherOS) & GameOS.

GameOS is built upon BSD (a mixture of FreeBSD & NetBSD) so it's like a Linux if you prefer, it has 2 separate layers, a kernel (commonly called lv2 or supervisor) that is loaded first & userland loaded on top of it & communicating with the kernel only through syscalls.

In short, say you make a network syscall in GameOS userland, lv2 kernel code runs & ultimately data has to be sent to the network adapter, to do that the lv2 kernel has to make a hypervisor call & it is the hypervisor that communicates with the network adapter on behalf of the GameOS kernel & returns data & errors to the lv2 kernel which in turn will return it to your code in userland.
Basically GameOS runs on a 3 layer vertical setup, each layer resides in its own address space, separated from the other layers & downward communication between layers can only happen from one layer to the next (ie userland cannot communicate with lv1 directly, it doesn't even know that lv1 exists anyway, it can only communicate with lv2) & downward communication between layers can only take place through exposed system calls (lv1 system calls & lv2 syscalls).

This is only a rough & oversimplified description of course, still I hope it helps.

 

Hi, I'm new to this jailbreak process. I've followed the steps and my ps3 is already on CFW 4.88 evilnat cobra. I would like to install/add wikistore or something equivalent so that I can download games directly on the console. Do I need PS3Hen to do this? Please advice a newbie here. Thx in advance

 

Joskovic, use the ps store. No help will be given here for freestores or the likes. It's against our rules.

 

Can I install4.88 Evilnat directly over Rebug 4.84 (CEX)? Or anything special needs to be done beforehand?
Many thanks.

 

Can I install4.88 Evilnat directly over Rebug 3.84 (CEX)? Or anything special needs to be done beforehand?
Many thanks.

If Rebug is in CEX mode, just update without do anything special.

If it is in DEX mode, change to CEX then update.

If you need to downgrade to 4.84, you must enable the QA flags in Rebug Toolbox. Once you enabled them, you don't need to disable them.

 

For some reason I don't have the Custom Firmware Tools under Network menu. I first installed the custom firmware on 4.84 with PS3Xploit and did the reinstall. Then installed EvilNat 4.87 over it, twice. Then after EvilNat 4.88 came out, installed that over EvilNat 4.87, twice. Still no Custom Firmware Tools menu.

Rebug Toolbox says Cobra 8.30 is active.

 

If Rebug is in CEX mode, just update without do anything special.

If it is in DEX mode, change to CEX then update.

If you need to downgrade to 4.84, you must enable the QA flags in Rebug Toolbox. Once you enabled them, you don't need to disable them.

Thanks you sir. No, I don't need to downgrade, need the latest FW for signing in purposes. Thanks again.

Hi,

have a question. Is the 4.88.2 BETA now Ready to Release ?

Or a about more 1000 things to change it.

I'm assuming he just put beta as a placeholder. it's ready for release, but there could still be some bugs basically, like they found in the first release. I've installed it myself. it's been tested well enough by people with flashers, so if there are bugs, they shouldn't be big ones.

 

@Evilnat

Hi,

have a question. Is the 4.88.2 BETA now Ready to Release ?

Or a about more 1000 things to change it.

The public 4.88.2 BETA is *close* to the final release, but there are new features like dump ERK or dump LV1/LV2 that are not included in the BETA. There are not expected big differences between BETA and the final release. However it is recommended to install the final PUP when it is released.
