---

dI will start this off with NO you can not jailbreak your PS3 SuperSlim Console's (seems to be a popular question), however that does not mean the Ps3Xploit Team, (bguerville, esc0rtd3w, habib & W), has not been hard at work, with this new release of Ps3Xploit v2.0.. In this release all the tools (IDPS Dumper, Flash Dumper & Flash Writer) have seen significant improvements and now performing the task such as installing a Custom Firmware on your 4.82 OFW PS3 (with flash writer) has been made even easier and very stable thanks to the team's new checks implemented and progression of the exploit. The Flash and IDPS dumper are also much improved. All the details are provided below please read all the spoiler and tabs before asking any questions.

PS3Xploit 2.0 Tools Now LIVE!!​

Ps3Xploit 2.0 Release >> IMPORTANT DETAILS << FLASH DUMPER TOOL FLASH WRITER IDPS DUMPER

• 
  
  Included Tools​
  • 4.XX IDPS DUMPER
  • 4.XX FLASH DUMPER (USB Edition)
  • 4.XX FLASH DUMPER (HDD Edition)
  • 4.82 NOR/NAND WRITER (USB Edition)
  • 4.82 NOR/NAND WRITER (HDD Edition)
  Ps3Xploit Tools Changelogs​
  v2.0
  
  • Freeze issues - Fixed
  • Occasional bad dumps - Fixed
  • No beeps & shutdown. Replaced by a graceful ROP chain exit & return to browser. This gives the opportunity to the user to dump after patching & validate the dump with littlebalup's py checker. As long as the user does not shutdown/restart, it's still possible to recover from bad patching.
  • Support for usb port 0,1,6 + sd/cf/ms cards.
  • Multi firmware support on all dumpers (4.10+) & DEX support on 4.81.
  • HDD editions for all dumpers & flash writer where a picture file placeholder is used for read/write operations.
  • Javascript refactoring for performance & efficiency.
  • **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) will host the 2.0 update, no need for 3rd party sites.
  
  v1.0 (Thanksgiving 2017 Release)
  
  • Supports Direct OFW to CFW patching for All Phat and 2xxx Slim (minver 3.56 Dec 2010 and lower)
  • the NOR/NAND writer will just copy 3Mb of CoreOS data to both ros0 & ros1 in the flash memory.
  • There is only one version released for 4.82. The same hex patch file can be used on nor & nand.
  • It's as safe as possible, with a check for usb device & patch file making the exploit hang instead of corrupting flash if file is not found.
  • In case of corruption (extremely rare but could always happen), it's only a partial brick because no per console info ever gets erased so a hardware flasher could still be used if ever a recovery reboot was impossible

  Frequency Asked Questions​
  
  Will this jailbreak my SuperSlim?
  
  • NO,The Flasher Writer Tool is not Supported on the SuperSlim and a some very late Slim models, Howeever, PS3Xploit has a strong possiablity to eventually evolve into a HEN style exploit (that aspect will take some additional development.)

  Warning: Known Limitation
  
  • Due to the lack of proper checks after exiting the ROP chain, it is possible in some cases to obtain a success message despite an operation failure. For instance, if you choose a path where no device is plugged in, a dumper page will still display a success message despite the fact the dump save could not work. This limitation has already been addressed, the added operation checks will be part of an update to these PS3Xploit tools which will be released in the coming weeks, that update will be final, no more will come after it

    4.81 DEX CFW/OFW supported
    
    IMPORTANT NOTES:
    
    • It's essential not to flood the browser memory with junk before running the exploit. The reason for this is that due to javascript core memory usage limitations we are scanning several times a small range of browser memory (a few Mb) to find some essential data in RAM, if the memory is flooded then the range to scan becomes much larger & the probabilities that our data is found in the smaller range decrease dramatically....
    • So in short, never use the browser or use a homepage you cancel before running the exploit!
    • It is recommended to set your homepage temporarily to the exploit page you wish to use to ensure there is no memory flooding messing with the exploit initialization stage.
    Steps:
    
    1. Open the browser & browse to the **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) website, go to the page of the exploit you need. Set the current page as browser homepage. Don't launch the exploit initialization. Close the browser.
    2. Open the browser. The exploit page will load automatically. Choose your dump path option.
    3. Press the exploit initialization button & wait until initialization succeeds. If it fails, follow the refresh/reload instructions on screen.
    4. Trigger the exploit by pressing the dump button.

    IMPORTANT NOTES:
    
    • It's essential not to flood the browser memory with junk before running the exploit. The reason for this is that due to ps3 javascript core memory usage limitations we are scanning several times a small range of browser memory (a few Mb) to find some essential data in RAM, if the memory is flooded due to previous browsing then the range to scan becomes much larger & the probabilities that our data is found in the smaller range decrease dramatically..

    Steps:
    
    For best results with flash writer, here are the recommended steps.
    

    1. Install OFW 4.82 twice on the console you wish to flash to avoid the potential corruption error during CFW installation.
    2. Open the browser & browse to the **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) website, go to the page of the exploit you need. Set the current page as browser homepage. Don't launch the exploit initialization. Close the browser.

    6. On success, load the **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) flash dumper, dump the flash memory & validate it with py checker tool. Do NOT restart the console if ever the validation tool gives you errors/warnings on both ros0 & ros1 or you risk to partially brick your console. Report your problem instead.
    7. When you are satisfied with the dump validation, restart your console & install a 4.82 CFW.

What model exactly (CECH-xxxxx) ? Did you use latest update of PyPS3checker? (re-download it)

It's a ps3 slim CECH-2504B with Datecode 0D, but I have solved it with the re-download of PyPS3checker. Many thanks littlebalup.

 

What you can do however is use some dex modules or even a dex vsh with the CEX kernel. It leads to limited but interesting new possibilities we are currently trying to exploit.

This is exciting stuff! I can't wait to see what you guy can do with this.

Can somebody help me with validating the dump, I hav a nor and doing it from the HDD so how do I validate the dump with pychecker

 

hi guys,

I've looked around everywhere and cannot find anyone that has the same issue as me. I have a PS3 Original Launch unit. It is a CECH-A01 model with an upgraded 500GB HDD placed in to it.

I have not attempted a "write" session yet with this, as I'm running into problems with the dump portion of this exploit.

Specifically, when dumping the IDPS using either ps3xploit or locally, I get the same condition of the PS3 locking up after clicking on "Initialize ROP for NAND console". I've tried all the combinations I could think of for putting the USB memory stick in the left most and right most port using all the different numbers from both ps3xploit and a local webserver (using miniweb) I have not tried any of the middle USB ports. I've made sure that on each attempt that the IDPS exploit page was the home page (tried again, both local and ps3xploit) and that before each attempt I deleted cookies, cache, authentication, and search history. I want to make sure that whatever I select is going to work, especially when it comes to flashing the unit, but I need to get past this dumping part first. I have not tried any other dumping options. I even have a Sony Memory Stick inserted into the MS slot and tried dumping it to that, and it also froze. It will sit like this for a very long time before I have to push and hold the power button until it beeps and shuts down. I've always been able to boot the console back up and try again, but it seems like whatever I do just doesn't work. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I'm using a PNY USB2.0 8GB USB Memory Stick that I know is good. I haven't tried any others yet, but I suppose I could.
For the local attempts, I used the miniweb server, using the latest from sourceforge.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Try dumping to hdd, jpg method, much better imo. Also don't use wifi. If doing it locally, Get your xploit files from this site or use official xploit site.

 

I have since tried that. The same thing happens. I get to Step 1, I save the file per the instructions, and then as soon as I tell it to Initialize Exploit, it freezes. I let it sit there for about 45 minutes one time, with no luck.

Just to clarify, I've tried both local and remote to ps3xploit. My console is always wired. My internet is more than fine.

You must be missing something I'd say, reread all instructions, the dumper should not be that hard to run.

Are you on 4.82 yeah?

you could try format as a last resort if you don't have content you need\can't backup. I read that helped one person but assumed they had another issue and that indirectly solved it.

Hi. I'm definitely reading the directions, and am definitely on 4.82. I made sure of that before beginning this path. I'm only on the first part of the instructions. Can't see how that's incorrect, as I said, I've tried multiple ways including hdd and nothing helps. I also tried restoring to defaults. I can't reformat right now.

Thanks.

Im not sure, don't bother with dumping the IDPS, just do the flash dump to jpg. That is all that needed really, once you can dump that successfully then you can write, and then after writing make sure to then check dump before rebooting, as that is your last chance to save a bad flash. Dont bother with USB methods at all as that just adds another variable. sorry I cant help more, just keep trying is all I cant say, for some people for unknown reasons it seems to take longer.

Hi. Thanks for trying to help. I have tried the hdd dump of the flash as I said and get frozen also. Step 1 was easy. Step 2 locked up the console and I never got to do step 3 which is actually dumping it to hdd.

 

is javascript enabled ? did you discontinue browser security ? did you try to install 4.82 OFW twice ?

 

how i can jailbreak my ps3 super slim ?

No need to keep asking the same question in multiple threads.
To your question this is from the first line of the op "I will start this off with NO you can not jailbreak your PS3 SuperSlim Console's".

 

Hello everyone,

I have a 60gb original phat NAND PS3. I have tried applying the patch using ps3xploit 2.0. However, it has completely frozen the console. And I have been waiting for over 2 hours now. What is the protocol when a console freezes like this? Is it safe to restart the console?

Many thanks,

AdMo1997

Yes, it's safe to power down using the power button. Press it until it beeps. It'll shut off. You can power it back up. It'll complain about not being shutoff properly and all that, but otherwise will continue to work.
FWIW -- You're running into the same exact issue I am, and that's why I asked for help.
I did not install 4.82 twice. Just once. From Sony. I did discontinue browser security. JavaScript is turned on. I know that's required for the exploit to work.

 

Since 3.0 is out, I guess this topic is not relevant anymore. I hope 3.0 works.
