UPDATE (OCT. 11 2018) - With the release of OFW 4.83 portions of PS3Xploit have been patched, The team is looking at workarounds, STAY ON 4.82, DO NOT UPDATE TO 4.83 AT THIS TIME:
IMPORTANT UPDATE (MARCH-2019) v3.0.1 was released providing support for 4.84 HFW (a new hybrid firmware that restores PS3Xploit for 4.84 OFW user's (See Link to HFW)
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_Tools_v2.jpg


PS3Xploit 2.0 Tools Now LIVE!!

  • 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.)

    Which PS3Xploits Tools are Compatible with my PS3 Console?

    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


  • FLASH Dumper's Help


    • PS3 4.xx NAND/NOR/EMMC FLASH DUMPER v2.0
      All PS3 models supported
      All 4.10+ CEX CFW/OFW supported
      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.
      5. On success, validate your dump with the py checker tool.

No, i dont have a dump. I am shocked. I opened the console with datecode 0B case and surprise! kte-001 motherboard...

Is there a tool to recover the partial brick in the NOR backup? Of course, right after the dump with hw flasher...

dump your current nor, and then fix the dump by replacing the 3Mb of CoreOS in the ROS with ofw CoreOS. Then write it to your console with hardware flasher, your console is a live.
 
Is it still possible to downgrade using this method if the bluray reader doesn't work anymore?
FYI there is no downgrade operation taking place when using the ps3xploit flash writer to enable cfw installation, this method requires patching the flash memory, that's all.

The short answer to your question question is yes, it's possible to use the ps3xploit v2.0 tools to install a CFW on a console with BD issues. However it's a very specific situation, I am going to try to sum up the situation for you.

You give us no details whatsoever about your problem so I am going to assume a number of things among which the fact that you already checked that your console with broken BD is compatible with CFW installation ie minVerChk < 3.60.

Also you need to know that there are 2 different types of situations when it comes to what's commonly referred to as noBD problems.
A) BD issues like bad lens, misbehaving tray etc.. The system still communicates ok with the BD drive & general OS functions are not impaired.
B) the BD & its logic board have been removed/disconnected. Without a working BD logic board, multiple problems affect the system, it is of course the worst case scenario. Note that on later slim models, the BD logic board is integrated into the motherboard, not screwed under the BD drive anymore so removing the BD drive on those models doesn't have the same impact as it does on a phat or early slim model.

Given your question, I am going to assume that attempting to update or reinstall OFW errors out.

Is the console currently running on OFW 4.82?

1. The answer is yes. You should be able to use the flash writer & install a noBD CFW. However, you need to be aware that as indicated in the instructions, ofw 4.82 should ideally get installed twice before attempting exploitation in order to avoid possible cfw installation errors. You cannot do that preventive step if you cannot install any official firmware. This cfw installation error can also be fixed by reformatting the ps3 hdd but if ofw installation fails due to BD, the only way forward would then be to reformat the hdd after exploitation & attempt to use a noBD cfw during system reinstall. In order to do this without error, using a custom flash_482.hex patch file might be required.

2. The answer is no. For starters, the flash writer would need to be tweaked with the correct offsets for the fw version you are using AND you would need to make or procure a custom flash_4xx.hex patch file adapted to the fw version currently running. And of course, everything I just detailed in case 1 above should be applied in this case too.

Help!

Warning in both ros0 and ros1. What should I do now?
If you have both ros0 & ros1 warnings then you most likely made a mistake setting up the flash writing process.
Don't turn off or reboot the console for the moment. .
However if you wish to receive appropriate help, you must provide enough details so we can understand what went wrong. We might even need to look at a dump eventually but first things first, begin with posting info about your console, the method used to patch & a screenshot of the validation tool result.
 
after format ps3 fat 80 hdd via pc which is jailbreaked by using v2.0 nor writer or dumper process
but now ferrox 4.82 cfw give error 8002f957 during install

All the information needed to remedy your problems are in the OP. If you had read it & followed the instructions to the letter then you would never have had any problems.
CFW installation errors are avoided by installing 4.82 ofw twice before using the the flash writer & initialization issues are avoided by setting the flash writer Web page as homepage & restarting the browser.

OP=Original Post, re-install OFW twice and then try again to jailbreak your PS3 it did not work for you the first time, set exploit page as homepage, clear cache and then open browser to exploit
 
Follow all these steps carefully.



yes i tried
OP=Original Post, re-install OFW twice and then try again to jailbreak your PS3 it did not work for you the first time, set exploit page as homepage, clear cache and then open browser to exploit

i under stand what are you saying but after 95% it says intilizing fail try again
i'm done all the steps correctly
my ps3 fat already jailbreaked before formating hdd via pc
after that all problem pops up
and i already install ofw twice
 
If you have a phat ps3 that was already jailbroke, after formatting HDD you shouldn't have had to re-jailbreak. But since you have installed OFW (twice) then yes you need to. Again re-install OFW twice, set the correct exploit page (Nand/Nor) to you PS3 browser homepage (do not run exploit yet), clear cache, close browser & now re- open browser, run exploit

So I'm stuck at the python tools.. running linux mint 18. I cannot for the life of me get the checker.py to run properly. Either get a command not found or chmod can't access because it can' find. Sorry to be a noob but I'm at a loss, how do I get python tools to run?

I cannot help you with this sorry.
I suggest you create your own thread & maybe mention littlebalup, he or others might be able to help...
 
spent the last hour or so trying to get this to work on a CECHJO4 (yes,installed 4.82 twice just incase) to no avail. Luckily i still had the v1 exploit saved,first attempt and i was already copying games. Lol
Thanks once again, bguerville, esc0rtd3w, habib & W (and anyone i forgot)
 
I was wondering, is there an offline way to do this? My wifi/bt board cwi-002 on my cechg 40gb ps3 quit working on me. I downloaded the files needed, but haven't done anything with them yet. If there isn't a way to do it without the wifi/bt board I will just have to wait til I can get another one.
