i've been following this thread and i followed the instructions and succesfully "hacked" my ps3..........thinking it was permanently hacked!

thanks to everyone for the effort and great info, but I think I'll be buying one of those little dev boards so i can keep it attached to my ps3 all the time.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mixedlemon:
This is a great solution for me, I just leave adrynalyne's installer on my sdcard and when I want to start up the ps3 I install it through rom manager, connect the usb, and once it's done booting I do an advanced restore > restore boot through rom manager.

I'm sure if you left a hydra/king kernel installer on your sdcard you could restore it just as fast, but this is still a very easy and free way to do it.

Thanks adrynalyne, you're awesome. Between this kernel and frankenrom my Incredible pretty much runs on your work. :D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
About to make a (hopefully) Ruby compatible kernel. Testers will be needed.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
Someone bug Koush and find out where he has stashed the cm6 kernel source. Then I can port that as well. Until then, I cannot do it. I need the source.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DeeBG:
Ah man, with college starting back up my free time has almost dropped to nil (or null if you prefer programming lingo =p). I really need to build my own PIC flasher, as there have been so many projects I have not been able to do with my 8-pin "development board". I traded all of my old Sega Genesis/Sega CD/32x hardware and games a couple years ago with a guy on e-Bay for about 15 REAL Nintendo Controllers + 15 REAL Super Nintendo Controllers (which I planned to USB-ify and give some away to friends and sell the rest) as well as handful of extra parts and some special carts (which I requested as I had/have plans for using some of them as enclosures for upcoming projects).

Okay sorry that was a bit random, also TNS201, I'm sure you know this, but if you say you are at an engineering school or with an electronics company, Microchip will send you "samples" of just about any chip in just about any reasonable quantity. I always tell people to not abuse that method though, since they are pretty forthcoming with their samples if you just submit a request... but if there is ever a new 80$ chip or something you see that you want to play around with, it's worth a go =p.

On yeah, back OT, thanks again adrynalyne for working on this, even if it's not for everybody (also I would have thought you would have Koush's number on speed-dial by now, lol).

You need to download the 3.41 update manually then and install it. It takes 8-10 seconds to boot (for me at least on a phat model)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
I think this thread does not deserve to be in the apps/themes section. It is not an app or a theme, it is a kernel and kernels belong in dev.

The new thread has been posted here:

question i have a phat ps3 already did the process to jailbreak have open manager intalled and snes emulator all works, but my blueray doesn't. Is there any way to play backup games from where i download them and run them on open manager or anyother way without the disc?

PSFreedom for Incredible

Regardless, you dont have to update as others have previously mentioned in this post. I personally haven't updated and will conisder buying a second console for online gaming if needed. Alot of others are probably in my same boat. So please please bring this as a port to our Inredibles :)

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TNS201:
Well get to work and stfu, you aren't owed anything because you own an Incredible. If you don't like waiting, get working, because if you get it first, you probably could get some mad donations.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
Looks like the EVO guys have done it. According to IRC they have got it working well. That means we should see a release soon and hopefully some source code so me or one of you can get working on the Incredible port. They agree as well that it should be cake going from EVO to Incredible.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fjgrf:
I know right? I mean, a nandroid restore totally would have fixed any damage that I could've done flashing those files, but I'm sure you're right. The Sony police could have traced my ip, came to my house, kicked my dog, and thrown my phone against the wall, thus bricking it. God, why am I so irresponsible??
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] OSully:
LOL.... Why even come into the thread if that's how you feel?

Hey, if you gave the nexus one stuff a shot, why dont you try out the EVO stuff? It's probably wayyyy more possible to work off-the-bat. You can download here: http://www.klutsh.com/psFreeRom/Evo4G/

Just put them on root of SD card then boot into recovery to apply the enable.zip Then let it boot up and it should work like a charm. But i am interested in if the kernels are close enough for this to work without modification. It would be good to try using CyanogenMod and stock ROMS.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
double post whoops
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
id give it a shot if i had cyanogen installed however i highly doubht it would work as the kernal would stop it from even booting id imagine.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
Yea, looks like it locks at boot screen. I didnt test against my PS3 though. Some of the EVO guys are reporting it working even when their ROM doesnt agree with the enable kernel (wont boot) So maybe it will work even though its frozen then you just nandroid restore after?

Hmmmmm I will give it a shot tonight around 5:30 EST or 6:00 EST if no one else has yet. Also, looks like we need to get a kernel person (ejhart or kingkernel guy) to help us include the new module and other changes. I will try to contact them tonight since they already have experience with this.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
I get off duty around that same time so if you beat me to it lemme know what the outcome is. im willing to give it a shot reguardless.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
In case someone stumbles by and reads this, here are the EVO's PS3 enabler kernels. One is at post 129 on here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=776180&page=13

That will enable the PS3 hack with backup manager support.

Here is the non backup manager exploit kernel: http://www.klutsh.com/psFreeRom/Evo4G/

That also has the "disabler"

It would be nice to see these couple things (the difference between the backupmanager enabler and the disabler) get incorporated into the stock HTC incredible's kernel. According to that first post's topic, around page 12 or someone tells what the only changes are in the kernel files. Should make it cake to implement for us.

Edit: Here is the link to the commits from getting the EVO to work, might provide incite for our case. http://github.com/kakaroto/PSFreedom/commits/master
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] aaronjb:
You know what I meant: The majority of people use these tools to not pay for software. Hence, my wish that the people using these tools to steal software brick their devices.

I believe in open systems, but let's be pragmatic: if you like games, you're currently locked into a price structure. Love it, or leave it - but don't forget that at the bottom of the chain is an individual who loves games, coding away or creating assets. Push for change in the system, but don't resort to theft.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] quepaso:
You are making assumptions. I am 32 years old, i own every single psn game released and 35 retail ps3 games. I would like this hack on the droid incredible rather then spending money on hardware i dont need. The main reason i want it is because i want to tinker around with it, there is a full blown psp emulator on the ps3 firmware which we'll likely be able to use to play psp games on ps3. Not every single person is in it to pirate the world. So stop making assumptions. I ignored you many times, but thought i'd give you a reply to let you know you are incorrect.

Anyway, i tried the bdmv enabled.zip for evo and it froze on boot. If i could code i'd love to help, but i literally haven't a clue how to code.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
did you try it on the ps3 even thou it froze? some evo users are reporting it sometimes works even thou its frozen @ boot
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] quepaso:
I did not.. I need the phone working for another few hours, then i can try it again..
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
Trying now

No go, I didnt put the installer on the other usb drive though, because i cant find it and im in a rush. It should have worked on its own, correct?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] quepaso:
Doesn't work. Spoke to H1Vltg3 and he said the usb driver on the evo is a one-off driver and not the same as the incredible. Bahhhhh. I did try it multiple times to be sure, pulled power cord, powered on ps3 then eject immediately after, even tried holding eject just in case.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
At least my Teensy will be in by Friday...

Give it a shot. I don't have a ps3 to try it. It includes a kernel as well.

I just tried the kernel. it makes my screen unresponsive so i cant even get into terminal to start the script.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] hank110:
I'm having the same issue - running CM 6.0.2.

Wondering if Adrynalyne's kernel is for sense based ROMs and that's the issue here?

EDIT

Loaded a backup of SR & loaded the kernel again. The screen is now responsive, but when i try and load the module i get this message:

insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/psfreedom.ko' failed (Device or resource busy)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] quepaso:
Yah Wifi and most of the USB has to be disabled and it wasnt. The guy who did the evo version has said he will help adrynalyn on it. Lets hope he takes the help lol.

http://adrynalyne.us/files/kernels/
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
not yet good to wake up and see some sort of progress however. ill give it a shot in a few here gotta eat and mustar.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
With some help of DocMon (great guy), I have a new version to try.

Does not include a wifi module, android_usb disabled per the wiki and his instructions, psfreedom compiled against the source modified for the kernel.

Good luck. I don't have a PS3 to test.

http://adrynalyne.us/files/kernels/psfreedom_inc3.zip

PS--Don't use on CM6. Not sure re: Ruby.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Phillyrider807:
I have a ps3. Any instructions on how to use this? Don't want to mess up my incredible or ps3.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
basically you flash this like you would a new rom or kernal power off the ps3 turn the power back on hit the ps3 button to turn it on followed by the eject button asap after the power with the phone pluged into the ps3 should auto load then on a separate usb drive plug it into the ps3 and load the backup manager from install packages
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
ill give it a shot in a second im on Sr vanilla 3.0 so well see gonna do a backup first.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
Not 100% positive, but you may need to nuke your wifi module. I mean, it won't work regardless I don't think, but just something to keep in mind. The install script will not nuke it for you.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
What is the location to remove it? Can we just use ADB to remove that module?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
Yes, assuming you have s-off or are in cwm.

The location is /system/lib/modules/bcm40329.ko

Thats off the top of my head, I may have typoe'd the module name a bit.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
Quick question, but why would it be required to remove that? I havent seen any of the other phone exploits have to manually remove the module file, that's why i ask. Curious more than anything.

I will be testing this tonight when i get off work so around 5:15 EST in case no one else has yet at that point.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
*Shrug*

I keep being told wifi isn't supposed to be functional, so....

I didn't include a wifi module in the kernel I posted, but it will NOT remove your old wifi module.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
I added to the PSFreedom WIKI so that others could see progress as well.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] hank110:
Success!!

Using SR ROM and Adrynalyne's psfreedom_inc3.zip kernel I was able to successfully load the psfreedom module, jailbreak the PS3, and install backup manager!

One interesting piece of information.... For some reason after I installed the kernel I had to reboot the phone again (not sure why) in order for the phone to recognize it was being plugged into the PS3 - in previous attempts the charging light would not come on and the phone was not recognizing being connected at all (it was not asking me what type of connection I would like to make).

Thanks Adrynalyne!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
You bet guys.

Have fun!

Don't forget to thank DocMon, who helped me past the final hurdle.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] sonypete:
Hey Adrynalyne,

Thank you for the efforts! Any chance you will provide this in two zips. One to enable and one to disable so we don't have to restore from a backup to get back to our previous kernel?

- Pete
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
To the poster that updated the wiki, can you change it to a more permanent location?

http://adrynalyne.us/files/kernels/psfreedom

Edit: Modified myself.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
I don't know of a way to extract the current kernel to save it as its flashed to /boot.

The kernel required for this is gimped with no usb or wifi support. It literally requires another kernel flash to revert back.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
Enable is the one provided. A Disable kernel is whatever kernel you had before. Just be nice to your Incredible and use Kingxkernel BFS #2 or whatever is latest. That is what you will flash as a "disable"

Adrynalyne I will modify the wiki tonight with full instructions and the permanent link. If anyone wants to contribute and change that before i can get to it, be my guest!

Thanks for helping out with this Adrynalyne.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
Any time.

Maybe it will be an excuse for me to get a PS3 :D

I already added the permanent link. Just instructions and the rest are needed now. I will upload the changes to github once I get a chance.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
maybe i missed something idk but i cant dupe the results. ive loaded the kernal rebooted the phone 3/4 times. shut off the ps3 completly turned back on with booted phone hit eject really fast right after turn on and nothing. tried this about 4 times. phone being pluged into ps3 is alowing me to charge just no options as far as usb drive goes.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] hank110:
Is this build patched to allow the execution of backups?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
Hank,

Did you have to delete the wifi module?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
AFAIK, none of them are for the phones. I used the latest source, so depends on if the dev patched it.

Alright, so I need to hear back from Ruby users if the kernel works.

I already know it won't work for CM users. Give me some time, I will download the CM source and patch a kernel.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] hank110:
No, I didn't touch anything besides loading the psfreedom module.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
Which ROM are you using?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
It should just be changing a few bytes of code to get backups enabled. PSFreedom by default blocks out the backup manager functionality i believe.

Adrynalyne, which kernel did you base revision 3 off of?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
Running SR Vanilla 3.0Rc2
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
My own. Its basically the same kernel thats optional in virtuous. Technically should save some power while running the hack, as it default to the conservative governor. Seemed like a good idea at the time ;)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
Hank what version of SR Rom are you running?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] hank110:
Vanilla 3.0 RC2
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
what were the two new icons you got under the game folder called?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] hank110:
Unless I'm doing something wrong, I have been unable to run backups from the internal HD - I have backed up two games and am having the same results with each.

Would it be easy enough to build another version of the module with backup functionality enabled Adrynalyne? I wouldn't even know where to start trying to compile my own.

Adrynalyne, will you be looking into getting back the blueraydisk support or did you want someone else to do that part? You have to pick a side now (=
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
and not all games are possible at this time to run from the internal. their was a list floating around if i come by it again il pass it along.

Open up a terminal window

Gain super user by typing: su

Then, Issue the command: insmod /system/lib/modules/psfreedom.ko

After that, the module should be loaded and follow the instructions here, starting after "Once you have the driver loaded on your device....":

Hope this helps
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
Adrynalyne, Do you think you could make the .zip install the correct bin file for backups using payload_dev_bdemu.bin?

http://psfreedom.com/wiki/Using_bin_files
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
So you installed the kernel first then insmod? Also can you use a terminal app on the phone for that, or did you use adb shell?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
you can use a terminal app on the phone to do it. no adb required
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtremebrdr:
alright ive tried lol. still no luck. ive installed the kernal powered off the ps3 completly pluged my phone into it gained su insmod the module turned ps back on hti eject and nothing so far on my end. gotta get back to work so wil monkey around with this later.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
This kernel disables mass storage and adb over USB, correct? Just want to make sure before I make changes to the wiki tonight. The phone still charges though, right?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
I will look into different payloads when I can. May not be until Saturday.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Phillyrider807:
Ok so by doing this it bascially leaves your phone useless? Ill think ill wait til a disable feature comes about

Also what rom is recommended to be used in conjunction with the psfreedom rom? I honestly dont know which rom im running right now lol. Ill do a backup flash to the recommended rom and then wait til a disable feature comes for psfreedom.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
All you need to do is create a nandroid backup, then apply this kernel then insmod then create another nandroid backup this time maybe name it PSFreedom or something then use it, when done you should only have to install the kernel you usually use whether it be stock, hydra, adrynalyne, kinkernel, etc. If that doesn't work you can always just restore your nandroid backup. Then any other time you need to enable psfreedom, you just restore the psfreedom nandroid backup.

Remember you only have to have your phone plugged into the PS3 while it boots, after it boots, you can unplug it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
Not positive, but you might need to Install the kernel then insmod THEN plug into PS3 (apparently after an additional reboot) then follow the normal directions. Try that series out and see if it works. I will be doing testing tonight, but i really wanted this mod for the backup support, so i would love to see the correct payload inside the kernel.

Adrynalyne, would you mind sharing source so that we can put in the other payload?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] quepaso:
im using rmk's rom, and i tried the new version 10 times, rebooted many times, reloaded the kernal, etc. I can never get debug mode to come up. Going to wipe and install skyraiders rom like you did to get it working and hope it works.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
Ok after reading i know how to get the correct payload installed (so that you cna play backups) All you do is:

Install kernel

insmod

then copy the correct payload.bin to /proc/psfreedom/payload

Then you should be set. It would be cool to see the kernel/installer install all of this automatically but beggers cant be choosers.
