we need to find a developer to re-vive this thread to do some updating. adrenalyn is very busy so i doubt he has time to load in pl3 or hermes v4b into it to update the payload.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
I agree although the better way out is going to buy the teensy

It's 20 bucks and works with all payloads
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thieflord:
Will this last???

will this still work if u update ps3 software???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xtremebrdr:
if you update your ps3 past 3.41 it wont work so dont bother trying. so if your like me who updated their ps3 for blackops so i can play online and get a few other games to work again your sol for a while.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xtremebrdr:
Kinda hafta weight the possibilities and limits of having an older firmware on your ps3 vs the current. if your into the whole homebrew possible linux support, being able to backup your ps3 games to a internal/external hdd and play off those drives then yes its for you. however this kernal hasnt been updated since the first payload for the inc so their really isnt much you can do besides the basics. most game support doesnt work without the lastest payloads and updates. if you still want all your games to work be able to play online multiplayer which is a big thing with the ps3 and could care les about homebrewed games emulators or backups/pirating which im my opinion is the biggest draw as to why a ton of people are not updating then update your ps3 and keep on truckin.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Phillyrider807:
Any hope on getting the new PSN/Online fix? These payloads were released for Psfreedom but droid incredible users cant use this since there is no Recovery mode in our phone. Im guessing somehow this needs to be installed into a new Kernal for us to use.

http://filesmelt.com/dl/payloads_psn_350.zip

With this you can now go online/use PSN.

http://psx-scene.com/forums/f6/psn-online-jailbroken-consoles-pre-complied-hexs-70327/

Or if someone can make a Psfreedom recovery mode that lets us use different payloads like the other mods.. That probably will be the best bet. We need this menu installed in the Psfreedom kernal. That way we can use any payload released like the other phones

Just saw this today....Great news:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] xtremebrdr:
Yea they have made some improvements however ill let everyone who doesnt already know or keep somewhat up-to-date, Their is a new TOS on PSN. Along with on the 18th new PSN Server Updates/changes. Id be real careful of running the JB after this update until you hear otherwise. Sony is up to something and i almost guarantee they will make major changes in their software updates that will stop all the previous and continuing work going on as far as the jailbreak goes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KB Smoka:
Yea, I was never a big online player anyway so I'm good right where I am!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tcberg2010:
Could the new kernel source being released potentially help us get a recovery like other devices have?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MorphiousGX:
Does this work on other AOSP ROMs?

Wanted to know if this works on other ROMS that are AOSP (i.e. UltimateDroid, Lithium, MIUI..etc), or strictly Ruby/CM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] invisiblek:
Use the custom recovery from klutsh.com/downloads , it is independent of your rom then.

I flashed it using unrevoked (make sure your phone is unplugged when you start unrevoked so you can choose to flash the custom recovery)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KB Smoka:
Slightly off topic but worth it....The video is awesome if you have the patience.

Wish i woulda known about this months ago... i am having to revert from gingerbread back to froyo. (possible compatibility issue there)

I sure as hell am glad i never updated my ps3 :P i knew this day was coming, just didnt know it was 4 months ago.

Had to revert to skyraider 2.5.2 from an old nandroid i had (didnt want to download another whole rom)

I got the hack to partially work (nothing happens when i open the install packages folder and i get an error when opening the other.)

EDIT: with a bit of trial and error with various roms/kernels as a base i finally got it working. Now for a perm pkg installer heh
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
you do know this is obsolete? theres a dedicated recovery that does this without having to go back and forth between kernels

search psfmod in google and you will find it

it is exactly like cwm but with psfreedom settings added

edit heres the url :http://www.klutsh.com/downloads/

2nd edit: haha i realize there are custom firmwares for the ps3 right now that keeps it jailbroken :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jasems:
Easier Fallback?

This works great! Have been using it the past few days. Just curious if there is an easier way to revert back without having to restore a backup, since we need the phone each time just to boot the PS3.

I would just leave it on there, but it disables wifii and pdanet, so have to revert back to my 2.2 concoction each time. I know one of the ports, maybe it was the eris?, had 2 zip files, one to enable it and one to disable it. That would make this even more amazing lol.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
The "disable" would just be to flash another kernel. So whatever kernel you usually use, just flash that to disable it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
Does the cm6 version include backups?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
No, it says bdvd in the file name but it looks like the psfreedom.ko file that is referenced in the zip had not been bdvd enabled. I am uploading the backup manager enabled zip for CM6 now.

CM6 BDVD Enabled Incredible Kernel http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SXEXSQFO
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Oops.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Haha, it happens. Wanna replace your hosted version? (=

superchilpil, let us know how it works for you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
maybe im doing this wrong

im flashing the CM6 version

rebooting my phone

run my ps3 through a power cycle

then plugging in my phone and hitting power then eject

but when my ps3 boots up it doesnt run the exploit
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Maybe you need to insmod the psfreedom.ko into the modules directory... It's possible that it is not getting autoloaded.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
im a noob when it comes to android

but i think i have a idea on how to do it

do i use terminal on the phone and type in "insmod <psfreedom.ko>"
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Do this after you have installed the .zip...

First you need to issue su command to gain access to root permissions

Then follow that with: insmod /system/lib/modules/psfreedom.ko

So each line below followed by a return:

su

insmod /system/lib/modules/psfreedom.ko

Then try plugging it into the ps3 with power off then turn on power and hit power then eject in quick succession.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
thank you so much

testing right now

edit: it worked but i used the version that supposedly had the backup manager and it does not have it

otherwise a great method and no complaints
[Droid Incredible Android Development] junjlo:
w/backup manager

im having same issue no back up manager theres not alot of information on how to install a back up manager of your own ethire
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fader01:
do a google search and find the backup manager (manager.pkg) put the pkg file on a usb pen drive, on the ps3 go to install apps or install packages (whatever it says) and it will see the manager.pkg on the pen drive and you can install it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] catmandu:
Ok, I'm def not the smartest tool in the shed when it comes to anything phone/computer related...So I successfully hacked my PS3, but now I have no idea what to do next LOL

Update: Well, I got the backup manager installed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
Did u find it online? If so could you send it to me by pm or send me the link?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] catmandu:
Check your PM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Can you test with the version i posted on the last page and let me know if backupmanager lets you load games from the hard drive correctly please? If it works i can solidify some of this information.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Backwardsblade:
Anybody know of any ports that work on fw 3.15? I don't want to surrender my other OS option!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
I tried it and it does not load the backup manager

Sorry
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Let me know if/when we have a working backup manager version for CM6 so I can upload it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
Important piece of advice you are missing.... the phone needs to remain plugged into the PS3 the whole time while using the exploit.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jasems:
3.41

This doesn't work with anything but firmware 3.41 for those having issues, make sure you are on that. If you are not, there are some instructions (through google search) that tell you how to install it via a memory stick.

I do not have to leave my phone plugged in though for the ftp and/or backup manager to work. I can turn it on with phone plugged in and then unplug my phone until the next time I turn it back on. (make sure ftp and backup manager are actually installed though. Also make sure you aren't online (I just put a bogus proxy address in my network settings so it doesn't leave my network)

I still wish there was a simple zip file to remove the exploit though, flashing my phone, reloading a backup etc, takes too long lol. Oh well, maybe some day hehe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
It would be cooler to have the exploit run off of clockwork mod or another recovery mode to make it simpler
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Im sure that doable, but beyond my means.

Maybe contact the member who ported amon ra.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jasems:
Yep

I agree, that would be even better!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
I wish it was like winmo because u could run a program called haret.exe and it would shut down the os and load a different one off of the sd card so if we could accomplish this then we.could use it to shut down android and reload a barebones android os with the exploited kernel and use it then once u reboot it then it goes back to normal function
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
Doesn't look like the Ruby version fully works either.

It can load Backup Manager, but it does not load any backed up games.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
heres a updated stealth backup manager (you can go online with this one)

it basically tricks psn that your playing call of duty Backup manger.pkg
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bradatz:
U can't go online at all using this hack.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superchilpil:
why not?

i dont use online so i honestly dont care if i do or not
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ufvj217:
What exactly is PSFreedom.. ive looked through this thread and online and cant seem to figure out exactly what this does lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Sorry I haven't worked on this folks. I am completely swamped and to be honest, don't know if I will be able to get back at it any time soon.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jasems:
Sony

You can go online, but you always risk the chance of getting your PS3 and/or your Account banned by Sony. It is (supposedly) easy to detect the launch directory that games load from, either way if you like going online don't do it w/jailbroken games (even the stealth ones would be risky I am sure).

This all is from reading comments & posts off of the various ps3 hacking sites, so who knows if it is accurate or not, just what I have read lol...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Makes it so you can play homebrew and backups on your PS3.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
I posted the cm6 kernel with bdvd enabled a couple pages back. All you have to do is take the psfreedom.ko file out of it and put it in our ruby zip too and it will make both backup friendly. I only had the change dev_xxxx to dev_bdvd using a hex editor on the psfreedom.ko file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
You are wrong. It only needs to be plugged in until it boots.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Download my CM6 kernel zip i posted a couple pages back, take the psfreedom.ko file in there out and replace the ruby zip file's psfreedom.ko file with the cm6 one i posted. Then install, that will ensure backups will load correctly. I will post up tonight on the main page BDVD edited kernels for CM6 and Ruby along with the extra insmod step and directions on that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
There is a way to simply flash a "disable" zip. All this is doingis replacing your kernel. So if you load back on ANY other kernel then it will "disable" the mod. This is no different than switching kernels. So if you are running a sense based ROM, im sure you are probably running something like kingkernel, so just grab his latest kernel zip and use that as your "disable".
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
rulevoid:

PM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
Cool, thanks. I forgot that it was such an easy hex fix.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ufvj217:
oh damn, nice. id still need a BD burner though to burn the games correct, or is there some way i can put the games on a hard drive or something and then use PSfreedom to play them?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Backup manager is an app that lets you rip your games from the PS3's internal Blu-ray drive directly to internal or external hard drive. You can also download copies of your games from the internet and use the new homebrew ps3ftp app on your ps3 to host an ftp server and transmit the games that way. It will not ready blu-ray backups, just ripped game directory structures and files.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Folks,

Due to my current time constraints, I have given rulevoid full control of the PSFreedom portion of my ftp. That way updates will be more frequent. I will also be uploading the source with some notes on compiling, what to change for aosp roms, etc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Source has been uploaded and link is in post 2.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shamowfski:
I'm on skyraider 3.1.

I've flashed the kernel, but when I boot the ps3 with power then eject my ps3 just sits on a black screen.

Anyone else have this issue?

Edit: Thought i was on 3.41. I was on 3.3. I'm a dumbass.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
I have updated the OP with more complete tutorial as well as supporting both CM6 and Ruby. All versions now are BDVD patched to load backups correctly from the backup manager app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
I'll have to test later. I just got my Teensy++ and it freezes when loading a game. I may have programmed a bad hex in that I got off the net. Don't know how to compile the PSGroove source after modifying the descriptor.h file. It's probably stupid easy too, I just like not having to program... ever.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jasems:
I am running leaked version of 2.2 (the one that came out a day before the official I think) just stock with the stuff I wanted removed and the addons I like etc. Is there still a way to do this without flashing the stock and installing all that crap again that comes w/it? lol Maybe I should just go ahead and switch to a kernal that is closest to what I am doing w/the stock... hmmm
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
You would need to find if someone has released a separate installer for just that specific kernel you were using. I dont know why you wouldnt just want to jump to kingkernel though.... Its faster, has a better scheduler, has adaptive voltage scaling, etc etc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Here, I just uploaded all the Hexes pre-compiled in hex form with BDVD enabled. I found these somewhere else a couple days ago. Its PSGroove almost all the hexes you could imagine and its version 1.1 with peek support. Now you dont have to compile anything (=

[Droid Incredible Android Development] snowman7:
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I was wondering if once I flash this kernel, and apply the jailbreak is that it? I mean after I have backup manager, do I have to plug my phone in and do this every time I want to play one of my backed up games?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
If you turn off your PS3 after following the tutorial then try to boot up normal and run one of the packages you intalled, it will give you an error. You have to boot it into dev mode (unsigned code is not checked) to be able to run the homebrew apps you installed in which backup manager is included.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] snowman7:
Thanks for the info. I think I will just go buy a TI84 calculator and use that method.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bardasian:
Does the calculator method allow backups? I read it had been disabled.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Yes it does, the official release does not, google and you shall receive.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
Looks like a bunch of games will freeze and not load if you have previously saved data on them.

Delete the data and it might fix them.

I gave CWMR - PSFreedom Mod r0.1 a try. Image flashed without any problems, but all the different payloads give an, "An error occured while loading PSFreedom," message.

Which could be normal at this point. But nice work thus far.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] geekanerd:
Absolutely. Though I'm honestly not sure how far back the dmesg dump tracks. I've only ever made dmesg.log through the terminal emulator. Does it have to be done somehow through clockwork recovery? Or is it sufficient enough to produce the errors, reboot the phone, and then create the log?
