it works like this:

everytime you install a new or upgrade rom version you must delete the psfiles folder on the SD card and run the freedom mod again and download files

otherwise the disable mode would work stuck on boot

tested with defrost 4.1 and opendesire 4.0.15

thanks kluts
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
Yes, sorry, I will try to add a way of detecting rom changes.

[Desire Android Development] dread123:
downloaded the apk,but cannot be installed on my desire? running opendesire 4.10??
[Desire Android Development] Ped-Ro:
Absolutely awesome Klutsh!!!
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
Install using ADB or a file manager, or visit the link in your phones internet browser.
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
tried astro, andexporer and i can see it but when installing it says cannot be installed and exits?? will try through the browser? normally have no issues with apks?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
how do i install over adb??

where do i store the apk to be installed and what command to install pleaase?
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
adb install <pathto>\psfreedom.apk

Anyone else having issues with installing?

App is set to prefer installing on SDCard if that makes a difference.
[Desire Android Development] Sashtheflash:
no problem here...
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
install failed container error"

thats when trying over adb?
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
cifsmanager shouldnt interfere with it should it? thats the only program i installed yesterday?
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
All I can suggest is to try downloading it again, maybe directly on your desire.
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
tried directly onto my desire? nope same thing...gonna flash 4.015 and see if thats good to go
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
same thing..just dont understand this? tried everything suggested

theres no modules/etc that need to be installed over the original rom are there?
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
Not during the install of the APK.
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
not sure what else to try? anyone got any ideas
[Desire Android Development] tolis664:
Is PSFreedom working with opendesire 4.0.15??
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
reflashed back to 4.10 as had couple of problems..tried to install again and still the same problem?

tried astrao, andexplorer, tried ADB - other apk's install correctly- i know every1 else saying works for them, but there must be some sort of issue that i can try to resolve....

any chance of repacking the apk again perhaps and try that or perhaps try the version 1 that was released earlier just to rule out any problems?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
I should have a new version out tomorrow/day after.

I've repacked it and uploaded it again though. Maybe turn on Unknown sources in application settings?
[Desire Android Development] Kiss999:
Yes it works
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
all set mate, just dont undestand it, the 1st apk i have come across that wont install? i'll try this one again and post back , otherwise i'll wait for new release?

thanks

-its no go again on repost..thanks
[Desire Android Development] FFXTDS:
mabe this will help to port to the aria

i jailbreak my ps3 with the HTC Legend psfreedom port on the aria trying to see if i can backup a game to see if it works fully i also use the kernel overclock from the Legend
[Desire Android Development] neoKushan:
Which version of PSGroove does it use? The original one or the one with poke/peek?

I'm not sure how easy it is to "keep up to date" with the changes made.
[Desire Android Development] djind:
Just installed, downloaded files and started the app. Now I'm stuck on HTC bootscreen. I was busy with the ps3, so I didn't notice what happened, but I heard the phone reboot by itself, after the initial reboot.
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
ok managed to sort it :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7234738

not sure why the problem occurs, but managed to install it now :p
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
can someone just clarify the different payloads on this version?

standard

standard with bdemu

developer payload

dev payload with bdmenu

thanks
[Desire Android Development] ph0rce:
Just to let you know, the apk installs fine on the latest nightly from Cyanogen.
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
it uses psfreedom not psgroove- but not many differences if any :p

Also new version was released today which enables you to run apps from usb instead of installing them to hardrive and then running..hopefully we will see that ported over???
[Desire Android Development] oruchreis:
we really need this for any "htc sense" rom like leedroid or something else... Is it hard to adapt it?
[Desire Android Development] neoKushan:
I thought PSfreedom was a port of PSGroove?
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
some say its a port- but he never had the code to port over, so thats where the similarities lie- the author states not a port :p
[Desire Android Development] boringNerd:
I was thinking the same thing as well, but it seemed like unless HTC released their sense kernel, nothing can be done about it. I love sense and leedroid, and I wouldn't switch over to opendesire/cyanogen/defrost just because sense is not supported. But still......we can only hope.
[Desire Android Development] Ped-Ro:
+1 :confused:
[Desire Android Development] oruchreis:
Ok, than there is no solution for now but:

- Nandroid leedroid or something(rom manager is useful)

- Install opensdesire and psfreedom

- Nandroid opendesire

- When we want to use psfreedom, restore opendesire backup and jailbreak ps3. Then restore our fav rom again.
[Desire Android Development] executivul:
I personally use LeeDroid and the AmonRA PSjailbreak recovery, works like a charm, 30 seconds to power off and boot the recovery, 10 sec to boot PS3, 40 sec to boot back LeeDroid :)

ps: did not use a stopwatch, just my estimates
[Desire Android Development] sudeki300:
can you tell me how to set this up please.thanks............'....sudeki300
[Desire Android Development] abc27:
PSFreedom is NOT a port of PSGroove. They are based off the same principles but they are in no way simillar in code.
[Desire Android Development] sudeki300:
cannot get AmonRA PSjailbreak recovery to install when i try with unrevoked it just stays at the pushing AmonRA PSjailbreak recovery.img message..................sudeki300
[Desire Android Development] djind:
Why mess with the recovery if you can just install the PSFreedom.apk Klutsh made?

Unless you are on a Sense rom, then no.
[Desire Android Development] sudeki300:
because i'm using leedroid which is a sense rom..................sudeki300
[Desire Android Development] akirainblack:
Which version are you using. I regularly had this with 2.2 now I'm using 3.2 I never have the problem. Pity they pulled 3.2.1 but you might be able to find it somewhere.
[Desire Android Development] sudeki300:
3.1 it says this was the version i used to root my desire but them in was on 2.1, but now i'm on 2.2 it seems it's having issues like you say you are...............sudeki300
[Desire Android Development] nbedford:
@Klutsh confirmed working on CM6 nightly. Thanks a lot.

I finally got a user friendly app for my desire before my AVR board turned up, hopefully only a couple of more days though till it ships :)
[Desire Android Development] chwads2k8:
u know the psfreedom recovery am i right u can onlreboot from there nothin else and do u lose sd ext support?
[Desire Android Development] yasars:
does it works with opendesire 4.0.15 ???

thx
[Desire Android Development] Rafa91:
Yes it does
[Desire Android Development] jangrewe:
let me google that for you... NOT. just go with "standard with bdemu", you sound like that's exactly what you're looking for.

great job, Klutsh - no need for investigating the fake-flash psfreedom recovery anymore, thanks!
[Desire Android Development] CM Wave:
Hey Klutsh, will your app need to be updated every time the OD kernel changes?
[Desire Android Development] SystemS83:
Hello out there.

i got an little problem. I install the .apk and downloaded the 3! Files. Then i start the standart payload and after that he kicked me back to the bootloader. Every time i try there is no restart to the rom. I forced to install the rom again. I´m using Version .15. Can anyone help?
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
No, it uses it's own kernel now, and backup's up whatever is on your rom at the time.

If you update OD or any rom, just delete the psfFiles folder on your SD Card and your good to go.
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
What recovery version do you normally use?
[Desire Android Development] SystemS83:
i have install the Unrevoked.

And the recovery is the 2.5.0.7
[Desire Android Development] perryhogan:
Am currently using open desire 4.0.15 and have uploaded the apk file to my phone and installed it. Whenever I connect the phone to my PS3 and complete the switch on and eject button straight away I cannot get a picture on my tv. Once I take out the usb cable at the front and re boot without phone the picture coems back. Any ideas? PS3 Slim btw

Also i am getting rather confused does this psfreedom apk contain the backup manager?
[Desire Android Development] Scottty27:
Just installed this on my desire running the latest Cyanogenmod, seems to be working fine.. currently backing up a game to my external. *fingers crossed!*
[Desire Android Development] speedgummi:
always remember that with the AmonRA psfreedom recovery you dont have adb, so if your rom bursts you have a bricked phone...

Today there was a new payload released by somone of the PSgroove team, the appload tool, with that its possible to load .pkgs without installing them on internal hdd.

would be cool if somebody make a port for psfreedom...:D
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
I suggest you use nandroid to do a backup, then if it fails again you can restore a working boot.img easily.
[Desire Android Development] pr0cess0r:
i want to say thx and tell you taht for rogers dream you must use the 32A verssion not the dream verssion the phone fail to boot.
[Desire Android Development] SystemS83:
Ok this should be no Problem but how can i get the PSFreedom working? So i can restore the former Rom but if the Jailbreak doesnt work i will not start it again. So i don´t need the nandroid backup.

Probably i must go back to .04 with the enabler and disabler because this works fine.

Thanks for your help Klutsh :)
[Desire Android Development] Rafa91:
I have exactly the same problem...
[Desire Android Development] akirainblack:
Yes, you can only reboot from it. ext support? It's no good as a recovery image, you have to reflash it to a working recovery image before you can do anything else.
[Desire Android Development] slim19198:
Does rom manager work with amon-ra?
[Desire Android Development] akirainblack:
I believe ROM Manager uses a fake flash method to flash and should have no problems with Amon_RA (at least it didn't back when I used both on my Hero)
[Desire Android Development] marinos35:
Lol. The latest posts are only misleading people. Some facts:

You could say that psfreedom is mainly consisted of 2 parts, the USB drive and the payload.

The creator of psfreedom had stated at the 1st release for N900 that at some point PSfreedom will have an option which payload to use. His, his with games support, psgroove or psgroove with games support.

The best place with information about psfreedom is the official site at first post.

Here is part of the Using_bin_files page over there (psfreedom dot com slash wiki slash Using_bin_files):

Since the release of PSFreedom 1.0, you can now customize it to load a specific payload.

The payloads are what gets executed when the exploit runs. There are four different payloads currently shipped with PSFreedom in the bins/ directory :

* payload_bdemu.bin : This is the standard payload with BD-Emu support (which allows to play backups)

* payload_no_bdemu.bin : This is the standard payload without BD-Emu support

* payload_dev_bdemu.bin : This is the PSGroove payload which adds Poke/Peek system calls, with BD-Emu support

* payload_dev_no_bdemu.bin : This is the PSGroove payload which adds Poke/Peek system calls, without BD-Emu support

So if you select from PSFreedom apk the "Developer payload with BDEMU" it should use the psgroove's payload.

@Klutsh

I think you should create a new thread about your app so it would be easier to follow you with new updates or discuss problems with your release specific. A changelog there would be also appreciated. This thread was chaotic for a while now and the the first post is outdated.

And one question. Does the app update payloads when there are new versions, or do we have to update the apk?
[Desire Android Development] chwads2k8:
jus been thinkin with psfreedom recovery u getn errors mounting sd-ext wont format it either so all apps that wer installed on their stay on there.

think best way is to leave sense roms for now to use the psfreedom app i guess
[Desire Android Development] marinos35:
or use nandroid backups to go from your rom to a simple one (CM 6.01 with no gapps is a good option) with only psfreedom installed :p
[Desire Android Development] perryhogan:
Have loaded onto my desire running open desire. Runs onto ps3 but get two folders under game selection on ps3, one says ps3 game data and other says install package files. I click package files and it does nothing. Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] JOeS:
You have to install backup manager and start that one. Then the fun begins. :D
[Desire Android Development] magic_moe_:
installed the psfreedom app...enabled psfreedom, loaded back into my ROM, but doesn't work...

see my sig for details about my rom...any suggestions? Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] neoKushan:
You need to have another USB device plugged in with the .pkg files on it. And it needs to be FAT32.
[Desire Android Development] perryhogan:
Is the back up manager the .pkg file? Sorry bit of a noob.
[Desire Android Development] cmx1o1:
yup, and get the ps3 ftp server pkg file as well
[Desire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Anyone see this?

PS3 Jailbreak Made Illegal In Hong Kong and Russia

Yikes!
[Desire Android Development] K900:
Lol. Piracy has always been illegal here in Russia, but that doesn't stop some guy near my home from selling modded PS2's and hacked X360's :)
[Desire Android Development] killer_metallica:
Same here.

The PS3 takes longer to boot, but I see no new options under the Games tab.

Any help ?
[Desire Android Development] fatboygrim:
This frustrated me for quite a while - you need to make sure that you are using the usb lead that came with your phone.

I originally used a random usb lead that I had lying around the house, and it didn't work. Once I switched to the lead that came with my phone, it worked instantly...

Hope this helps :)
[Desire Android Development] SystemS83:
Any Solution? It didn´t work and i go mad :eek:
[Desire Android Development] neoKushan:
I realise that English is not your first language, but I'm having trouble reading what you're saying. Could you try to describe what the problem is that you're having, in a bit more detail?
[Desire Android Development] SystemS83:
Sorry for my bad english :o (is it really that bad?)

My Problem is:

Install .apk --> Download the 3 Files --> Enable Payload PSFreedom --> Reboot and install --> After that again the Reboot --> But than it don´t boot up to the Rom. It reboots into the Bootloader --> When i turn the Desire off and on the same. It boots into the Bootloader. The only way the get back to my rom is to recover or install a new Rom

Hope this is better now :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] neoKushan:
Aha, that makes much more sense. What ROM are you using?
[Desire Android Development] Lefy:
everytime i start the psfreedom.apk, it asks me to download files....is it right ?

after i enable psfreedom and reboot my desire (opendesire 4.0.18 rom) to jailbreak my ps3, it fails....(error 80029519 on ps3)

edit: solution: delete the psjfiles on sd card before romupdate ... !!
[Desire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Yeah but they're checking packages at customs and confiscating any piracy items.

There were mass shipments going out of the PSFreedom to the US that have been delayed (and possibly confiscated).
[Desire Android Development] SystemS83:
At the moment i use the cm-6.0.1. Right before that the OpenDesire v4.0.15.

With both the same error.
[Desire Android Development] killer_metallica:
Thanks for the reply mate, although I was using the cable that came with the device.

THEN

Just deleted the PsfFiles folder, re-installed the PSfreedom app, re-downloaded the 'required files', and everything ran perfectly, at last ! :D
[Desire Android Development] executivul:
PSJailbreak/Freedom illegal in Russia...

And they will also arrest anybody with a HTC Desire, EVO, HD2 or Iphone 3G, since their devices can be used to pirate :)

Let's hope no PSFreedom will be made for Iphone 4G :))
[Desire Android Development] Redgoblin:
OK, I'm a bit drunk and a bit OT, no a lot OT! But hey, allmost all posts there is now is "I can't get it to work..".

LOL, OK, I'm a swede... intended pun... and a fact misspelled...

I had no problem with your language although to help you, they needed a bit more info.

You're not the only German I've seen writing in this fashion, I had a friend at my former workplace that was of German origin.

The way many of you build your sentences in English, is like Yoda - a bit backward sounding.

But to my fascination the Russians wright (to me) correct English!

Is it that movies isn't dubbed in Russia? (I know they used to be, in Germany).

How funny it would be, if, to an English speaking person, my post would get the same treatment as yours!
[Desire Android Development] abc27:
I'd call it something a rather more substantial than a "bit" to be honest.;)
[Desire Android Development] SystemS83:
School english :p

Is it really that bad? I give my best to make it right but... maybe is should drink a little bit. This should make it better ;)
[Desire Android Development] Redgoblin:
Creds to u!:D

OK, a bit, but not a lot more... only had about three pints of beer... "about" because they were in the metric system. To be precise I had 3*50 cl.

Yepp, it's because school English AND dubbed movies, I think.

Swedes get English from both school, songs on the radio and movies (OK, some of us even read English literature in Uni.). So we tend to learn the grammar pretty good, but not by rule but by "hearing". So we can say "if it sounds good, it's probably right"... else I'm lousily at grammar, even Swedish grammar!:o

So, no, don't drink more - watch more foreign movies, English movies that is in this case, that's not dubbed. After a while you get used to the subtitles.

All movies and TV-series in Sweden are subtitled, even some in Swedish - for those with impaired hearing. AND READ!!! I have read a lot of English literature, (I'm a fan of Tolkien and R.A. Salvatore.. I'm a fantasy-buff... :))

I'm on Open DEsire 4.0.18, I start PSFreedom and it downloads 3 files. Then I press the button , the phone restart and it gets locked in the HTC logo... nothing happens then. I have to enter to the recovery and reinstall Open Desire, other way it doesnt boot. It's so frustrating...
[Desire Android Development] Rafa91:
try adb boot [recovery.img] with some recovery like Amon_Ra
[Desire Android Development] Pinni3:

i tried to adb devices and i got no response ill try this but i don't think it will work as my devices is not recognised by adb, I only got a response when I done fastboot devices it then listed my device No. but I will still try your suggestion. Thanx.
[Desire Android Development] Rafa91:
Sorry, I had a mistake xD. Actually it is fastboot boot [recovery.img here]

So you shouldnt have any problems
[Desire Android Development] ranking:
i just tried that and got this message.

C:\Desire Tools\tools>fastboot boot recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.img

downloading 'boot.img'...OKAY

booting... FAILED <remote: not allowed>
[Desire Android Development] killer_metallica:
I had exactly the same problem.

It kept downloading files each time I launched PSfreedom, and when I disabled it, it was stuck in HBOOT, and I had to re-install OD.

(and the two new sections under Games didn't show on my PS3, it didn't work then)

What I did was delete the PsfFiles folder on my SDcard, re-install PSfreedom, and launch it again. This time it only download the files once, and everything went fine ; the jailbreak was working on my PS3, and when I disabled PSfreedom, everything went back to normal.
[Desire Android Development] Rafa91:
OK, I'll give a tray, thanks!
[Desire Android Development] ermacwins:
is the desire psfreedom apk specfically for the desire or will it work on nexus as they are pretty much the same? http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=OpenDesire4.0.4
[Desire Android Development] Rafa91:
It's ONLY for the Desire
[Desire Android Development] doinbox:
I could do with a bit of help plz.

I followed all of the instructions to Jailbreak my PS3 using my Desire. It worked!

What i want to know now is, how do i get the backup manager to load my backups. Is there some other files I need to install.

Basically it lets me backup my games but won't load them.

Any help is appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] Rafa91:
Hi again, could any one please share his "PSfiles" folder? Anyone whose PSFreedom works obviously.

Thanks un advice!
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
Seems the psf apk is not perfect, sorry.

Even I am having trouble with it now and I wrote the thing.

Good news though, wont be long until a more usable recovery method is available.

mass storage may not work, but adb will :)

Yes, due to popular demand of the sense guy's I'm looking at porting this to Cyanogen's recovery image.
[Desire Android Development] Rafa91:
Those are good news! But can anyone share the folder please? xD
[Desire Android Development] akirainblack:
You need an original disc in the drive else it can't boot backups. Any original game disc should be OK.
