PSJailbreak Reverse Engineered

It was a matter of time before this would happen, it seems now that a very free solution to PSJailbreak is on the way as PSJailbreak has been reverse engineered before the products release.

[rroded]

"Incidentally PSJailbreak is NOT updateable. The Update feature can be mentioned, if realized at all, only with additional hardware."

whatss more their saying it cant even be updated good news for sony if they want ta stop this dead bad news for pirates since they wont b able ta play online as soon as sony puts out the update that we all know is coming

personaly i think sony is dragging their feet a bit ta cash in on the extra sales n so they can mass ban n get a few more sales that way... jus my 2 cents.

[Biggest]

But there is nothing to drag their feet about. There is an update on Monday the 30th. The PSJailbreak is supposed to start shipping around that same time. It'll be patched, if they care, before anyone gets it. It would be like crying about a pimple when the prom is next month. No big deal.

[TheMART]

Lulz, it'll be patched before anyone gets it?

Those that ordered it, will keep their PS3 offline mate, so nothing gets patched.

I have a Fat and a Slim, and the Fat is still on 3.15. That one won't get online anymore, but will get a PS Jailbreak clone to boot soon to be able to run as a devkit and eat any homebrew made.

Besides that we still don't know if a fw update can fix this hole, and if its fixed if its not like iPhone has that it'll be jailbroken again within days/weeks. So yeah. Its an awesome hack, simple as that.

EDIT

@ The one below

Did you pay attention? This hack makes the PS3 like a devkit... Anything that WILL be made it can run. So yeah, no homebrew yet. Wow mr. wiseguy, this hack is out since a week! SDK has been leaked, all documentation has. So go figure

No piracy available? You mean the Backup manager only backups originals not downloadable games on HDD? Mmmhhh you ever heard of WBFS Manager? You ever heard of Sony's official Disc Image Generator? Go look in screengrab made from official SDK documentation...

Firmware upgrade for new games, right... You know PSP right? You can stay on 5.00 m33 firmware and downgrade the games. Same can be done with PS3 games mate.

So really. This is like a JTAG 360. Its homebrew heaven, and its started to be made as this very moment. How about a Wii emu with 1:1 controls as Move+sub = Wiimote+nunchuck?

[HeroXIV]

@TheMART

1. No homebrew at all yet. So... they've bought an expensive piece of plastic and metal.

2. No piracy available*. So... they've bought an expensive piece of plastic and metal.

3. PS3 WILL update as latest firmwares will be available in future games. Closest : GT5/LBP2. If they don't it'll be on the biggest game* Black Ops. And they'll HAVE to update. So... they've bought an expensive piece of plastic and metal.

*- I do not condone piracy but this is something they're OBVIOUSLY wanting. *2- Not the biggest for most of us but it'll still, annoyingly, sell better than other games and most importantly you have to be online to play the main part of it.

Edited: you know what, i won't say it

[TheFinalNinja]

and when the patch is out and a hacker bypasses then what? cling and cry to sony and hope they patch it again?

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

All of a sudden The Mart comes back to N4G, have not one, but TWO PS3s, want to play PS3 games so bad that he'll buy a useless 150bucks USB dongle that don't work for nothing...

Come here Mart, sit by the shadow and drink something... You had been far too much in the sunlight.

[Biggest]

"and when the patch is out and a hacker bypasses then what? cling and cry to sony and hope they patch it again?"

From comments like these it would seem that the PS3 hasn't been, and still is, the only UNhacked console on the market. It's the wannabe pirates and hackers that are clinging to hope here. They are hoping that after all these years someone has FINALLY done something to the PS3. The reality is that they just stole/bought Sony's own servicing tool. But they can have that "victory" and say they hacked it. Since the "hack" is only in the hands of the people saying "Give me money for this UBERHACK!" it is nothing more than hopes and dreams that sometime within the next few weeks they can have $170 worth of game backup heaven.

[sikbeta]

They can't update cos this dongle-thingy can access Debug-Mode, it never was a hack to flash a CFW or something like that, the OS is intact, they can manipulate some stuff in this mode and that lets them make the backups of games in order to play from the HDD, this "hack" reached its limit already and it'll be useless when the next FW comes out, there is no way they can update this dongle, they'll desperately need an Updated dongle and do everything again by the time Sony release a New FW update...

[morganfell]

You don't know the difference between a dev kit and a debug kit. You just showed your lack of knowledge in a huge way. As much as you wish this to be the demise of the PS3 it will not be. And they have already confirmed this exploit won't be fixed with an update once Sony blocks it. Go ahead and say it again - "just don't update".

Yeah, no multiplayer or PSN access. Everyone here is laughing at such idiotic comments.

[rockleex]

Will come with mandatory updates on the disc.

[xg-ei8ht]

Listen to the mart, rofl.

Go play your 360 and kinect animals.

ROFL.

[Eamon]

And that's got to do with... what?

Also, the article has misleading sub-title. The iPhone dev-team said they won't be releasing anything where 4.0.2/3.2.2 is the latest public release.
They didn't specifically said they are quitting.

But that's besides the point, morganfell. This has nothing to do with PS3 jailbreak.
Also iPhone jailbreak is completely legal. And according to this N4G submission, ps3hax claim that after the ps3 jailbreak was reverse-engineered, they found that no code belonging by Sony was used.

In conclusion, that makes this ps3 jailbreak completely legal to use.

[morganfell]

The reply went to the wrong remark. Mart had stated it PS3 jailbreak wouldn't be stopped just like the Iphone jailbreak. And yes I know all about the legality. I have been talking about it in depth before anyone else did. Just check my post history where I point out how this does not qualify under the same legal exceptions.

[morganfell]

No. Just no.

Here, a past comment because you think what they are doing is legal and in that belief your are wrong:

[Spaghett]

Mart probably plays more PS3 than you do, egghead.

[Elven6]

There was actually a pretty heated debate about this on the N4G forums between Mart and Bloodmask a few days ago.

http://forums.n4g.com/tm.as...

Turns out he basically owns two of each current gen consoles :P

[rroded]

so epic it defines the console war

blood and his ilk are doing all they can but the masses have spoken N WE WILL HAVE FUN

+bubs for such an Interesting link XD

[MWH]

@xg-ei8ht

are you really Rolling On Floor Laughing? what's so laughable about what you just said? what i know your likes are doing is, Weeping like witches over nonesense, that's what. listen to the mart perhaps you'll gain a little bit smart. viva la revolucion.

[EpicFailGuy]

In Jailbreak We Trust

[MWH]

"Amen." said the Scion of Balance.

[ndibu]

Oh boy...is it still plug and play?
It's not a hack, ps3 is unhackable-ps3 fanboy
Ok, can I still copy and play games for free? Yes? Ok its not a hack, i don't care-ps3 pirate

[tiamat5]

I love it how people joyously claim that the hackers are unstoppable as if they were given a gift from heaven. How happy they are that Sony will have to spend valuable resources fighting this instead of using them to make games and improve our gaming experiences. How wonderful that we innocent legit PS3 owners will have to suffer along side the @$$holes that cheer the criminals on and make up flimsy stupid reason why hacking is good for the PS3 or how Sony deserves this for some twisted reason. I am glad I don't know you people in real life. You would probably jump in my car while my back is turned go sell it to jackers come back and explain why it's a good thing that you stole my car and that you needed the money to buy games.

[xg-ei8ht]

Smart and mart do not go together tbh.

You'll probably buy kinect along with mart and that alone makes me ROFL. Just make sure your not to small or tall:)

I roll about from time to time at how sad people are concerning jailbreaks, among other stuff. Keeps me amused on this site quite often.

I don't care if they fix or not, does not affect me as i don't need it.

But stating that the mart plays his PS3 more then me is quite sad, to each his own i guess.

I have fun here!

But if hacking is your life, you need to seek sunlight.

That vitd is goooooooooooooood

[MWH]

how do you know that what you know is what is known? that is the question.
hint: take it easy.

[xAlmostPro]

mpst likely be patched with the next firmware update.. YES you could keep it disconnected from the internet BUT would you really want to lose online play for a bunch of single player games? :/..

because homebrew probably wont be made for a long time yet!(months anyway)..

i'd prefer to not order one of these, i like online play to much.. and even if you keep it switched off.. if your on wireless you'll need to remember to disconect it from the internet the night before :P or it will boot straight up and say you need to update

[tiamat5]

xEN7xASSASSINx that won't happen because the clever people on this site have a solution, just buy another PS3 and keep one online and one offline. Isn't that clever? And all it will cost you is another $300.00 the price of 6 games. Wow we have nothing but geniuses on this site don't we? end sarcasm
