Hey guys,

I followed these steps and I dont see Backup Manager on my ps3? I only see the two folders.

I am trying to do all my best to fix but I couldnt so what can I do?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] afgboss:
after having trouble getting the boot manager to boot a game, I finally fixed the issue using the gscript.... I guess the psfreedom.ko was outdated or missing?

thank you so much brother.and one more question:

when I connect the phone on ps3 and start the manager in ps3 I still need to

have the phone connected to the ps3?or can I disconnect it after the load?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] majaz:
You have to put the backup manager ans psfreedom.ko files on a seperate USB or even on the external hdd if your going to use one. Install those files into ps3 just like a regular game and your all set..

You can disconnect after load.

Its not working for me

I was able to hack it using the hd2 and install backup manager, i even backed up a game. now its not working for me at all. i have followed everything correctly.

i have even reformatted my sd card. just to reiterate

i downloaded the build extracted directly to the hd2. then copied to gslite android folder. after booting up using clrcad, then haret. waited to load. then unlocked started gslite. got the correct blue screen with psfreedom.ko turned of the main power and connected the usb cable while in home screen, then turned power switch on and powered ps3 and directly after pressing the eject button. it does take a little delay in booting but i never see the two extra folders. i have tried it too many times to count.

i have made sure that psfreedom.ko is in /system/lib/modules

i have the original 60gb on 3.41, my hd2 does have the stock rom and has not been jailbroken or anything like that.

if there is anyone out there that can point me in a direction i would greatly appreciated.

btw, thank you darkstone for this build and all the people who worked on the psjailbreak.

Hello,

i've read lots of pages but one things i've to ask....

First, i got HTC HD2 with Android emulated, so that things is OK.

Next, i've an old, dismissed PS3 fat that must be updated to 3.41, right?

How can i update the console to 3.41 without update automatically to 3.42?

Another thing, if i put a backup on external HDD (game as a folder), with File System is required to be read from ps3? And how to install the backup manager?

My HTC must be connected all the time while playing?

Thanks in advance!

I know, that many people have problems to download from the market (they have an error or it just doesn start), but i always could download evereything until i used this rom.

I tried to flash this rom with PSFreedom again and again, but its always the same...

Other Android Roms are working greate, but of course i want to have PSFreedom^^

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lufeig:
you can get firmware 3.41 from unofficial download links available in the web. i downloaded mine from torrentleech, but as it is a private torrent site, i cannot post it here. even if i did, you would not be able to download it.

so download the file, put it in a fat32 formatted usb stick, put manager.pkg in the same usb stick too, then follow the jailbreak steps to install the files.

optional, but recommended: install ps3ftp too, following the same steps described for manager.pkg. it is used to backup your games that are not fat32 compatible into the internal hdd (ridge racer 7, god of war iii, god of war collection, and others).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RobertsDF:
Rather then updating just hit the button to skip(I think it is O) and backup manager loads fine.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deathtrap3000:

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if you guys could help me out.

1) I am able to boot to Android on my HD2

2) I am able to make the update through GScript

3) I am able to install the Stealth Backup Manager

4) I am able to backup God of War III on an external Fat32 harddrive

I then leave Fifa World Cup in the PS3, go to Stealth Backup Manager, launch it, select God Of War III and press X

The screen goes dark and comes back to my PS3 menus. I scroll up to see which game is recognized and it says God Of War III.

I launch the game and it tells me to insert the original God of War III cd in my PS3. My firmware is 3.41

If anyone has an idea please help ;)

Thx,

need help by installing manager

i need aktuall manager please
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] c0rp1:
Worked for me (the 3rd version) ... THANK YOU !!!!!

Trying to make backup now but it takes a while ...

What I did (it might help others) ...

I have a seperate SD CARD so I made a format and put the Android folder in it.

Then I run CLRAD and Haret and wait until android launches. I unlock the phone and I`m at home screen. I turn my PS3 OFF from the back switch (for slim remove power cable). I use my USB cable to connect the ps3 to hd2 (no other usb dongles or controllers are connected). Then I press the switch and turn the consoles power ON (or put the power cable in). Then I press the power button on the front of the console and RIGHT AFTER THAT (half a second at most) I press the eject button.

QUESTION : I`m using schubCRAFT 1.5 on my main microSD card. If I want to run PSFreedom from there can it work like that - rename the Android folder that contains PSFreedom to lets say Freedom folder and set cmdline "rel_path=Freedom in startup.txt ? Will it affect my main android build and do I also need to run haret from WINDOWS MOBILE or I can run it via ASTRO from my main android build ?

P.S. Here is the original manager, cause the Stealth manager can`t be updated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TiagoS:
Hi, works great for me to put the PS3 in debug mode, but cant save games to internal HDD.

I backed up my own disc of Killzone 2 to the internal HD and run backup manager with a DIFFERENT game it but when I back into backup manager to run the backup of Killzone it does the same thing. Goes black and shoots me back to the homescreen with no Killzone icon.

I've left the phone plugged in, and deleted my old saved games and game update data as well just because I heard it can cause backups to not boot.

Right im a bit confused tried searching through threads for answers.

I have a HD2 but no android on it can i just use the files given here or does my phone have to already be on Android? Or are the files given to make it Android does not really explain it> Sorry if im being dumb!:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pistol44:
I recommend following the steps on the 1st post very closely. It's easy to mess up as I did. To sum it up before anything you need to put the Android files on your storage card and boot into Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutta01:
Thanks for info, But when you say boot into Andoird are the files given here to install Android on to my HD2 oror just the files need to add to an alreay Androided HD2? so to speak. Am i making any sense:o

Also do i need to have my HD2 connected to PS3 when i want to play backup games? Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pistol44:
Yes the files are to put Android on your HD2 so eventually once installed you can dual boot into either Android or WM. However this "jailbreak" requires us to use Android. So follow the instructions, put the files on the storage card, run Android, leave the screen unlocked, power down the PS3 at the power switch, connect the phone via usb to the PS3, flip the power switch on the PS3, press power and then eject RIGHT after and then give it a sec. Once connected plug in a usb with the download manager on it and then it will show up on the PS3 under games. Install it and done. You always have to do this when you want to play backups or make backups. I'm stuck now because I've made a backup of Killzone 2 on my PS3 and it doesn't play..

I also formated my HTC and tried to install Android but that didn't work either. During each version my HTC stops installing Android or stops booting into Linux.

It's 2am, so I'll be quick :)

I finally did it. I was able to boot Infamous ( strange that it was in French... ).

What I did

- I've reflashed my HD2 with new WM ROM ( I've used Energy Rom with sense 2.5 )

- I deleted all files from the sd card too

- after WM ROM loaded I've copied "Android" (PSFreedom ) to SDCARD

- I've connected the HD2 to the PC on Active Sync! - this is important or else the PS3 won't recognize the HD2 as a USB Device ( and don't know if it's in all cases that way, but for me and other android users it was )

- I ran CLRCAD.exe ( without it the phone restarts while loading android ) and the Haret.exe

- the code started to run

- after a little time you will hear disconnecting and connecting sounds

- the same code will start to cycle in a loop ( PSFreedom is recognizable )

- wait for a while and pull of the usb cable from the HD2

- the code will stop and boot Android

- After that follow the steps of turning it on with the PS3.

- after loading the PS3 it is hacked with the two folders

- then connect your usb or hdd storage with magager.pk and install it as shown in the first tutorial

the thing that was not clear is that this android build can or cannot run backups as it is. I managed to run GScript Lite after several starts of the program.

Then put your game in the usb or hdd in GAMEZ/game_id(take it from Ps3_disc.sfb with notepad )/PS3_GAME

And it worx :D
