[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chief Geek:
Id have to say that SetCPU is my favorite. Sure I dont interact with it that much, but it makes a world of difference. It allows my phone to run at blazing speeds when needed and then throttle down to near nothing all very quickly and automatically as needed. Now I have awsome performance but on a battery that lasts me all day.

Close runners up are mypics, screenshot, and a few games. Actually I just thought of something, a tie with setCPU will have to be One Click Lag Fix as it has taken my handset from lame to badass in no time at all.

I was doing some reading about N900 used to jailbreak PS3. Is it possible for someone to use the released exploit code, and use the Hero (Android OS) to do the same thing? Instead of trying to build the dongle from parts.

Hope I'm making myself clear!

~Google( N900 used to jailbreak PS3 )~

~Google( psgroove )~ <-- exploit

And how do I get link restrictions removed from my account. :mad:

Thanks
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
what are you going on about? :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] dargpat:
There is a new exploit out for PS3 where it puts the system in debug mode to do all kinds of fancy things. And the only way a while back to enter this mode was to buy a USB dongle that was programmed to unlock this exploit.

But now the code has been release to the public for anyone that wishes to try and build the dongle .... but someone has successfully unlocked the PS3 by using a Nokia N900 instead. So I was wondering if any of those smart developers out there thought about trying that with the Android OS on the HTC hero or any Android OS phone really.

Will they be able to port it to the new firmware?

I would hold off on update but I must play MW2! ...sad but true!
[Hero CDMA General] shabbypenguin:
you cant port psjailbreak to 3.42 it uses and exploit to launch it into debug mode, with that update sont removed all dev and debug modes in retail units. the hole has been opened and now they can explore all software aspects of it all. the only thing i can recommend is to use the proxy trick to get around and connect to psn without updating
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Yeah, you're better off not updating and either finding a friend with a Palm or getting the stick.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
Sony is worse than Apple.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
Humor me on this proxy trick via PM, would you please?
[Hero CDMA General] shabbypenguin:
Here I'll do one better, Logan5 PS3 Proxy Tool can be used to work around the update. You can also use the 67.202.81.137 IP again as your primary and secondary DNS server to bypass the update.

Not sure how long it will last used to do it back in the days of 3.21 but for whatever reason sony is letting use use em again
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
Tried and it didnt work. Will try again right now, didn't know it had to be secondary DNS as well.

Is there still people working on the jailbreak for HTC hero?
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
still didnt work so I had to update.
[Hero CDMA General] Tipharet:
Yeah I think the kernel needs to be ported for the hero.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
The 3.42 I thought was released specifically to remove any debugging platforms in retail systems.
[Hero CDMA General] spidoman:
Jailbreak definitely isn't working with the new update, thus the reasoning why every site says to not update to 3.42.

I guess some progress has been made with the Hero as someone is working on an updated kernal, but the psfreedom site and wiki is just being so temperamental it's hard to keep up to date.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
People will get impatient real quick and decide to upgrade so they can play online, there's no tricks to bypass the upgrade check anymore either :(

[Hero CDMA General] spidoman:
Looks like the GSM version got posted. I assume throwing on the GSM just for the sake of the hack won't work at all?
[Hero CDMA General] R7i1c3K:
I just tried the CDMA version listed on hxxp://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Hero on Sprint HeroC, running Fresh 2.4.0. Wasn't expecting it to work, and it didn't. Don't know if it's a rom issue or not, but it locks up on fastbooting the zImage. Just shows the HTC logo on black background and does nothing else.

EDIT: Not working on CM6 EXTBLUE (Sep 09 Update), either. Same thing. Locks up at the HTC boot screen.
[Hero CDMA General] R7i1c3K:
I'm using the unlocked CDMA SPL from here: hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765237

Put the zImage file in c:\android-sdk-windows\tools, rebooted the phone into the bootloader and selected fastboot, plugged in the USB, then ran the following commands from the PC:

fastboot devices (finds the phone)

fastboot boot zImage (reboots, tries loading zImage, says success, but locks up)
[Hero CDMA General] biwman13:
i keep getting remote: not allowed too...
[Hero CDMA General] R7i1c3K:
Did you flash the unlocked SPL from the link I posted? You flash it from your recovery menu, like an update.zip or radio image. After it's successfully flashed, fastboot mode works fine.
[Hero CDMA General] biwman13:
installing unlocked SPL hangs after reboot on formatting cache
[Hero CDMA General] biwman13:
ok i got it. did you mean the phone locks up after trying to reboot? thats whats happening to me
[Hero CDMA General] crzyfusion:
cancel locked up :(
[Hero CDMA General] biwman13:
ughh this is driving me crazy
[Hero CDMA General] eldeladi:
locked after zImage fastboot

Yeah same thing here after fastboot with zimage and having installed

it just get locked at the HTC screen.

why can't we get a clean signed update.zip to enable and disable the hack like the EVO one
[Hero CDMA General] Rockaholica:
has anyone gotten this working on CDMA?
[Hero CDMA General] biwman13:
nope use at your own risk for cdma. i got stuck at the boot screen and now i cant get in to recovery mode and the phone hangs...dead
[Hero CDMA General] eldeladi:
can still access recovery

Eventhough it was stuck I could still access the recovery.

just take the battery out, then back in. and hold vol down and power and it will go to recovery.

or don't hold and it will go to your rom automatically

there isn't much resque imho
[Hero CDMA General] Rockaholica:
Got it loaded with the new package on the wiki but i am at work with no PS3 to test the actual function.

Results:

w/Cyanogenmod nightly 9/9 - quickbooted zimage, boots, no touchscreen, can't unlock to verify

w/rooted Sprint/HTC Sense 2.1 - quickbooted zimage, boots, ran psfreedom.ko no problem
[Hero CDMA General] R7i1c3K:
Which version? GSM or CDMA?
[Hero CDMA General] ThaSik1:
How about i was gonna give this a try for my ps3 but when i got home, i find out my mom updated the firmware so she could watch netlix.... *super face palm*

...not trying to sound like a ****
[Hero CDMA General] bigsean1898:
how do you know if psfreedom.ko has run correctly??? I have been able to fastboot zimage sucessfully but don't know if psfreedom.ko is being run via terminal
[Hero CDMA General] R7i1c3K:
No problem. I actually just got in from work and haven't checked the site again today. I noticed they've updated with new files, whereas the zImage is a different size from the ones yesterday. Going to throw it on the phone and try it out again in a few minutes.

EDIT: Direct link, by the way - hxxp://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Hero
[Hero CDMA General] Rockaholica:
Like i said i'm not at home so i cant verify functions but it ran without echoing an error to be more accurate.
[Hero CDMA General] R7i1c3K:
Alright. I can confirm this working on Sprint Hero-C running Fresh 2.4.0. ^.^

After the zImage fastboots, launch the terminal emulator and type:

su

cd /sdcard

insmod psfreedom.ko

It just goes back to the terminal prompt after that. Unplug the phone from the computer, power off the PS3, plug in the phone to USB port (instructions say to remove all other devices from the PS3, too), flip the power switch back on, hit power, then eject on the PS3. You'll have the new menu under GAME.
[Hero CDMA General] andyw123:
Works for me too. Difficult to get the right rom however as I was using 2.2 froyo and it wouldn't let me use the touch screen so I then installed 2.1 buffed something kind of rom (can't remember now...) and same problem. Installed fresh 2.4 and touch screen worked fine. Hooked up to ps3 and follow the rest of the directions, worked like a charm. Already backed up one game (after installing backup manager), now working on ftp'ing another game just to see if that works as well.

Great job dev team who got this working for us.

p.s. Alltel Hero CDMA

Update

I made sure my roommate doesn't install it to play RDR
[Hero CDMA General] Tibedabeeto:
Can you explain the fast boot process in a lil more detail? Also after doing this to put backup manager on, is it possilbe to put linux yellowdog back on PS3?
[Hero CDMA General] tech_p:
I can also confirm this is working. I used the regular 2.1 rom cause the cyanogen rom touch screen wouldnt work.
[Hero CDMA General] R7i1c3K:
The fastboot process is pretty simple, actually. I'm using Amon-RA-1.6.2 on an Android 2.1 ROM, so I'm not sure if it differs with any other, but... This is how I'm doing it.

* Make sure you have a 2.1 ROM installed to avoid touchscreen issues.

* Make sure you have a terminal emulator on the phone from the Market.

* Make sure to flash the unlocked SPL first found at hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765237.

* Download the PSFreedom pack from hxxp://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Hero.

* Extract PSFREEDOM.KO to the root of your phone's SD card.

* Extract ZIMAGE to c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

* Power down the phone.

* DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE.

* Hold VOL_DOWN + MENU, and tap POWER.

* Press VOL_UP to enter Fastboot mode.

* Connect USB cable, if not already. It should say FASTBOOT USB now.

* From the PC in a command prompt, type 'cd\android-sdk-windows\tools'

* Type 'fastboot devices'

* Type 'fastboot boot zImage'

* Phone reboots, seems to load as normal.

* Once booted, load the terminal emulator.

* Type 'su'

* Type 'cd /sdcard'

* Type 'insmod psfreedom.ko'

* Turn off PS3 by switch in back, remove all usb devices from it.

* Unplug phone from PC, plug into first USB port on PS3.

* Flip power switch on PS3, then press POWER, then EJECT.

* If everything goes correctly, it will take ~5 seconds longer to boot up, but then you should have the new menu items under GAME.
[Hero CDMA General] spidoman:
Ditto, it's working here too on a 2.1 rom. I'd suggest everyone just do nandroid backups of a 2.1 rom with terminal emulator to accompany your 2.2 nandroid. Only takes about 5 minutes for me to switch back and forth.

Now to find a cheap used PS3 to use as my jailbroken PS3.
[Hero CDMA General] Tibedabeeto:
Thank you, that was defintely a better description on what to do during that process then what I have been finding. I am trying to get everything setup on my phone while at work, so when I get home all I have to do is the PS3 part. Also do you know about the Linux install on PS3?
[Hero CDMA General] eldeladi:
works

confirmed woking on 2.1 nfxfan rom, 2.2 cm6 touch screen would not work after fastboot.

is there a site that lets you know what size are the games and if they are compatible with internal vs external

A I'm new to the whole ps3 jail break thing but it does not sound so hard but I'm wondering what is it for and what can it do I wanna try it out but would like a more in detail on it or could someone link me to a page were I can read about it more thanks help would b appreciated

Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
[Hero CDMA General] spidoman:
Yeah, although I would do a USB update to 3.41. Might as well be as up to date as possible before you can't update.

laie1472:

The Jailbreak enables the user to run uncertified code on the PS3, aka you can run homebrew applications (like the ftp program someone has already made. Some version of the jailbreak also allow you to back up, and play backed up games. No more need for the blu-ray disc. (Although you do need a disc (any ps3 game) in the drive to play back ups.

However, it also means you cannot get online with your PS3, so no online multiplayer, no game patches, or DLC. Also, if you try to get online there is a good chance that Sony will start banning consoles from online if they detect the console is jailbroken.

I've ordered an old PS3 to try this out on, my dream of course would be that XBMC comes out for PS3 eventually.
[Hero CDMA General] kys89012345:
how do i usb update?
[Hero CDMA General] peopleface:

[Hero CDMA General] spidoman:
hxxp://www.ps3news.com/PS3-Online/ps3-firmware-update-3-41-is-released-details-available/

US link is the 3.41. Through more googling I'm sure you could find alternate sources if this goes down.

Unplug from the internet/disconnect from wifi and go to system update, usb update will be an option and it should be pretty self explanatory from there.
[Hero CDMA General] sl7rips:
ok, i have a bit of a problem.. im running windows 7. trying to install on CDMA hero, i get all the way to "Waiting for Device" when fastbooting the zimage. i tried updating the driver under Device Manager my hero comes up as Android 1.0 under Other Devices. when i try to update the USB driver it cant find one to update. anyone have the download link for the driver or some segustions. Thanks Oh And Im Running A Pure Hero 2.1 ROM
[Hero CDMA General] spidoman:
I solved this just unplugging and and plugging into a different usb port.
[Hero CDMA General] laie1472:
Thanks for the response man I'm also wondering is there a simple way to revert once this is done and were do u find the differnt firmware?

Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
[Hero CDMA General] spidoman:
Reverting is kind of a complicated term.

When you restart the PS3 without the jailbreak you have essentially reverted. However, it may not be that simple. The PS3 may keep a log of whether or not it has gone into debug mode. No one is really sure. Also, if you use backup manager then it will be another way for Sony to tell what you've been doing. Basically if you Jailbreak and install the backup manager and you ever plan on connecting to the internet again with your PS3 plan on Sony blocking you.
[Hero CDMA General] laie1472:
So in a way u can't undo once u do am I correct on this also is there another way to game online with this mod
[Hero CDMA General] spidoman:
There is no way you can go online and still jailbreak.

The 3.42 update is mandatory to go online, the 3.42 update disables the jailbreak.

There is no working bypass for the 3.42 check.
[Hero CDMA General] Aut0botK1lla:
thanks for the tut. what rom r u running. i got damage control on my sprint hero . going to try this later.

maybe we should make a list of the 2.1 roms

edit: by reading here http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Hero , we need a new recovery img for cdma? also does the phone need to be connected at all times when playing a game? n how do you go back to using the phone n then back again to jailbreak?

i know too many questions, sorry
[Hero CDMA General] laie1472:
Edit post
[Hero CDMA General] laie1472:
Well can I just switch between the 3.42 and the mod sounds like I can if I had the process down?
[Hero CDMA General] shabbypenguin:
no you can switch between your phones firmware if you had the process understood well enough. there is no exploit for ps3 3.42 ergoif your on 3.42 dont even bother with this project your ps3 canted be hacked... (as of right now...)
[Hero CDMA General] sl7rips:
Just tried that and it still just sits at waiting for device and dose nothing. i switched between the 2 usb ports on my laptop and it just hangs. how long dose it actuall take after "waiting for Device"
[Hero CDMA General] kys89012345:
its working on freash roms.
[Hero CDMA General] spidoman:
If you look down in your system tray do you have the "Installing devices" icon going? If so, try clicking "cancel checking windows update" or something like that. Then unplug the phone, doesn't matter if it's still trying to install, just unplug the phone. Wait for the computer to finish it's installing or searching for drivers. It should complete after 5 minutes or so. Plug it in once that has finished. Convoluted but worked for me.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
It's just going to be like the PSP. You need to be at release running firmware version Y to play a game, but I'll give it a week or two until a modded 3.24 is released, or at the very least they set it up to emulate 3.24 inside itself.
[Hero CDMA General] sl7rips:
no go.. :( nothings working.. is there a update.zip or rom with everything installed. my laptop is pissin me off:mad:
[Hero CDMA General] spidoman:
I'm hopeful that it will happen but the simple fact is this is basically the very beginning of PS3 hacking, nobody really knows what is or isn't possible.
[Hero CDMA General] R7i1c3K:
I'm running Fresh 2.4.0 - 2.1 ROM, running 2.6.29 kernel, Sprint Hero. I used to use DamageControl 2.08.1, had major problems with 2.09 + 2.09.1, so I switched to Fresh. It's a highly modified Sense ROM (ie, DamageControl), so you may like it.

This is why it's so important to run a nandroid backup before you do the jailbreak hack. You can back up the phone, install the exploit, use it, then run a nandroid restore to return the phone to normal.

From what I understand, you can run the exploit, power up the PS3, then disconnect the phone. The exploit should stay running until the PS3 is powered down.

Make sure you have your ADB drivers installed properly. If you can't access ADB, you can't access FASTBOOT either. If all else fails, try reinstalling the Android SDK. Hope that helps.
[Hero CDMA General] sl7rips:
Thanks to everyone who helped me. got zimage fastbooted on fresh 2.4.. just a few more questions after i Type 'insmod psfreedom.ko' dose anything happen on the phone, or dose it gonna go to the next type line.? and after the hack is ran on the ps3 can i remove the phone from it and restore my CM6 Rom and just fastboot the fresh rom when i want to run games from the ps3 hard drive.

oh and Thanks Again
[Hero CDMA General] Aut0botK1lla:
so when ever you want to use the phone for the exploit u need to flash the files, n then restore the nand to use it as a phone... too complicated, i;ll wait for the key i guess .. thanks
[Hero CDMA General] sl7rips:
i am still able to do everything a normal android phone dose after fastbooting zimage and running terminal. it just runs the phone slower. but calls and everything works fine!:D
[Hero CDMA General] thursdaynit3:
so i finally figured out how to fastboot, and everything seemed fine

"$ fastboot boot /zImage

creating boot image...

creating boot image - 2080768 bytes

downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY

booting... OKAY"

now my phone is stuck on the htc logo loading screen

(2.1 rooted sprint hero)

any idea why?
[Hero CDMA General] JynxRD:
No. Once you flash the files then whenever you want to use the exploit you just need to fastboot the image and then exploit the PS3. Once I do the exploit I just powercycle the phone and its all back to normal I don't have to do a nand restore or anything. The phone functions just fine while using the fastboot image except for USB charging otherwise I'd probably keep it fastbooted. I'm just doing this till the usb dongle craze is done and every things in stock and prices drop.
[Hero CDMA General] sl7rips:
Theres now a Update.Zip for Android 2.2 on hero.

Note: Android Froyo 2.2 Rom users

Use the following zip file, flash like a normal update.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?5lqyd800lwk5iy0

It is recommended that you use clockwork mod recovery if using a 2.2 ROM

Steps for 2.2

0. MAKE A NANDROID!

1. place enable_ps.zip on root of sdcard

2. flash zip like you would any other update.zip

3. reboot phone

4. jailbreak PS3 like normal (no worry about touchscreen, psfreedom is already running)

To reset phone do an advanced nandroid restore (clockwork mod only) and just restore BOOT.
[Hero CDMA General] biwman13:
so after i installed the updated SPL and the phone hung up on the htc screen, i rebooted the phone and nothing still froze. i managed to restore a nandroid via fastboot and the phone works again thank god...but now i still cant get into revocery...still hangs up on htc screen. pleeeease help. im at a loss now...
