all usb/phones/calculators/etc used to jailbreak, require you to do it anytime the console is restarted.

basically,

flash psfmod to recovery and put the payload.version#ofps3.bin on root of sdcard

boot to recovery, choose last option for psfreedom

(if you're already on <3.41) choose "load payload", choose the .bin file on sdcard

once it loads, it will instruct you to turn power off the ps3 (pull plug on slim),

plug in usb to ps3 (far left usb port) and into phone.

turn power on ps3 (plug back in if slim)

press power followed quickly by eject, should hear a few quick beeps if no game is in

if you see two folders under the game menu of the XMB then you're jailbroken,

load homebrew .pkg files from root of sdcard (mount from inside recovery, is faster than booting back to android) be sure to then unmount when done.

if you reboot/restart the ps3 at any time, restart everything minus the .pkg (unless it is one you havent installed yet)

if you do not need to install a pkg, you can reboot to android after you confirm the two folders are on the XMB, and you can unplug at any time after that

if this didnt cover it, google or try ps3hax.net or one of the other ps3 jailbreaking related sites

Thanks for your responses im going to try the g2 jailbreak but i also just ordered p3go. i plan on running games off of a external hard drive so i have to keep installing the folders in order to run the games off the hard drive or i just leave the dongle in the system and everything will be fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fastludeh22:
I've got a few questions, and yes I searched the interwebs...

First can someone explain the different payloads, and no offense but don't post up "just use default one it works". I really want to know what the differences are.

Also I saw people talking about modified .pup file for downgrading to 3.41. What's the difference between the modded one and the offical 3.41. I'm on offical. Is it the psn part, thought that was part of one of the payloads.

Also is there no way to modifiy 3.41 firmware to just be jailbroken so we don't have to do it everytime. Or a way to install a debug or developer or similar firmware?
[G2 and Desire Z General] shabbypenguin:
debug firmware wont work for most retail units, its modified i believe to have the system show 9.99 as its version. the payloads are a bit of a mess im not sure what klutsh's has to offer but on my minimus i use pl3 its basically an open source payload that has fixes and changes put in to it almost every day (think the cm nightlies) there is the hermes payload but its rather old as hermes has "left the scene"

as for a "cfw" you wont see that for a while, we have basic xml hacks right now to enable new features etc etc but you wont see a true version of it for some time
[G2 and Desire Z General] thundertroy:
so I did this many times. everything works 100%.

I downgraded my ps3 from 3.50 to 3.41 (I got a fat ps3) and everything works amazingly, but the only sh***y part is that the bluray wont read movies... :/ which really sucks, so the ps3 jailbreak people said that if you are on 3.50 and want to downgrade, try downgrading to like 2.50 (where you can go into recovery mode) and then rebuild system and then like format hdd or something like that, then put 3.41 on flash drive and try installing it that way, if you have a fat ps3, hopefully you won't be a victim like I was with loosing the ability to watch bluray movies.. :(

what would be awesome is if a app came out to jailbreak the ps3 so you don't have to go into recovery.. :[, but o well. my G2 is overclocked at 1.8GHZ or MHZ lol. :P

There won't be a permanent jailbreak for a while. Think of the HEN loaders on the PSP. Everytime you shut down you lose the hack. You need to re-hack it everytime you boot to be able to run the homebrew

[G2 and Desire Z General] CB620:
the payload i downloaded is a zip file with a folder inside of it. where is the .bin file everyone is talking about? did i do something wrong?

EDIT: i see the bin files inside which one do i use.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CB620:
im getting a error on the flash image line its saying no image is found i have the payload and the .img on the root of sdcard, and when i type reboot recovery it says not permitted.
[G2 and Desire Z General] renn9420:
What rom do you have. And is the .img a .img or did it download as a .zip or something else? And it saying not permitted tells me that you might be running BaconBits. Try using adb to flash it. And you have to type the exact name of the .img. I renamed mine to make it easier.

[G2 and Desire Z General] fastludeh22:
Rename it psrecovery.img and put it on root of c drive.

Then boot phone into fastboot (vol down +power) with usb hooked up.

Type fastboot devices to see if your device is showing up. If it does type:

fastboot flash recovery c:\psrecovery.img

[G2 and Desire Z General] fastludeh22:
No need to remove cwm. First make sure your in fastboot, not hboot. Should say "fastboot usb" in red, not hboot usb. ( I think I've seen the malformed error from that before).

Also chech md5 of psrecovery.img or try redownloading.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CB620:
got it thanks alot
[G2 and Desire Z General] psylink:
you can simply enter terminal and type

make sure to do "su" in term then ' flash_image recovery /sdcard/psfmod.img '

or whatever/where ever you put it and named it

theres the new psfservicemod that has the default 3.41 set in the recovery already, option to do pl or hermes from sdcard also

hermesv4b teensy v2.0 at90usb1286 hex works fine with it also
[G2 and Desire Z General] stevedawg85:
Is there a tutorial out there, I have no idea where to begin. I have psfserviceMod-vision-2010-12-13.img. Is this all I need and I adb it from PC to phone?

I have CM 6.1 root, I didnt to engineer bootload or whatever that optional stepwas , I don't need to do that do I?
[G2 and Desire Z General] psylink:
you can do, i never did engineer, did temp root then gfree for perm root and below works:

adb push psfserviceMod-vision-2010-12-13.img /sdcard/

adb shell

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/psfserviceMod-vision-2010-12-13.img

or

download straight to phone

open terminal

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/psfserviceMod-vision-2010-12-13.img
[G2 and Desire Z General] stevedawg85:
Before I do that, what is all this payload stuff. Does this img already have a payload included? So is it as simple as that? is it "already on," I remember with the G1 you had to turn it on and off from the recovery screen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] renn9420:
The new psfServiceMod-vision-2010-12-13.img has the payload built in. And yes you have to boot into recovery to use this after you flash it like a recovery.

[G2 and Desire Z General] psylink:
flash it

boot to recovery and choose bottom option for psfmod

it will give you option for service mode, 3.41 default payload, load pl3 payload, load hermes payload

once you choose, it will instruct you to do the usual jailbreak manually

power off / unplug ps3

plug usb in to phone

power on / plug in ps3

hit power followed immediatly by eject
[G2 and Desire Z General] CB620:
Anybody have the hermes payload for the g2 I noticed it says load hex file. I want to try the newest one that allows the spoofing. So when I go into recovery I just load the hex and than pick jailbreak and follow instructions?
[G2 and Desire Z General] witeboy07:
I get flash_image not found
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
Same problem here.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CB620:
ADB works better than TERMINAL EMULATOR

put the .img file in the main directory of your computer for me it was c:\ and than boot into fastboot make sure it say fastboot in red usb. fastboot devices make sure your device shows up and than fastboot flash recovery. the steps are in this page or the page before but make sure you have adb
[G2 and Desire Z General] psylink:
your rom just doesnt have flash_image

stock i'm guessing

personally didnt do the fastboot part, i'm running CM 6.1.1 and i just flash via the terminal

[G2 and Desire Z General] HAK Devil:
So I was able to successfully jailbreak the PS3 using the guides posted here and that works great but I am wondering whether anyone has successfully been able to get their backup games to run. Before buying an actual dongle I wanted to make sure it all actually worked so I backed up my own copy of Killzone 2 using a backup manager (the psjailbreak one) but I only get rerouted back to the xmb anytime I choose to start it without any option to start the game (I still only see the original game that I have put in as the only disc option to start the game). I have tried countless other managers as well and have only gotten it to either hang right at the manager when choosing the game or back to the xmb with the same problem as above. I know the game is compatible and I even tried it with another game (International Cricket 2010) that I know is compatible as per the lists online but they all have the same issue

Please help me :(

EDIT - Nvm, I figured it out :). The default payload is unable to use backup managers so you have to get the new hermes payload :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] CB620:
Which hermes .hex file did you use? When I open the hermes 4b.zip file it has several .hex files inside it. I want to be sure before I load something incorrect. I used the default payload as well it jailbroke it but none of my games would start like u stated.

What was the steps you followed when you put your phone into recovery? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] HAK Devil:
I use the psgroove_usbkey_at90usb1287_8mhz

I go to psfreedom settings and choose to load hermes from sd and then choose that hex file. The rest is the same as always

My adventures in G2/PS3 land

Just wanted to add some updated info to this thread.

Most recent ver of psfreedom for G2 I've used is 3.3 available @:

www(dot)klutsh(dot)com/download/67/

I believe it is still based on ClockworkMod 2, so installing gapps doesn't seem to work if you're running CM7.

I am currently able to run backups (on PS3 FW 3.4) with the default developer payload on 3.3. This is PL3, not hermes; from my reading PL3 is more recent and preferable. The 3.1 version of psfreedom has PL3 built in, and as already mentioned the ability to load hex for hermes, however 3.3 only allows selecting bin files from sdcard. I have been able to run the referenced payload in 3.1 or 3.3 with no problems so far.

The G2 only needs to be plugged in when powering on the PS3 and doing the power/eject button dance. Follow the instructions on your G2 when powering on and you'll have no problems.

From what I could find, you're only going to be able to play backups on PS3 FW 3.41/3.50 (most run 3.41 spoofing 3.5, but the advent of 3.55 means NO PSN). Again, this means NO PSN until the really smart people get backups working in 3.55. There's plenty out there on the saga of 3.55, CFW, sigs, etc., so I won't get into that. If you want to downgrade from 3.55, use psfreedom to put the PS3 in service mode, and follow ALL the instructions@:

www(dot)ps3-hacks(dot)com/2011/01/13/ps3-firmware-3-55-to-3-41-downgrade-released/

Though I'm not sure the downgrading to 3.15 part was necessary, I can verify that after doing so, my console has NOT lost any Bluray movie playback functionallity.

Anyone knows of a ver of psfreedom on ClockworkMod 3+?

Cell standby battery usage

ang, quick question. Cell standby is still showing massive battery use, as well as 50% time without signal. You said before it is just a visual bug, but I wanted to ask what makes you think do, because my battery life still seems to be suffering with these roms. Love them generally, but am getting much worse battery life than I had before. Used to get 24+ hours.

Thoughts? Thanks for the sweet rom.

Anyone else report the best battery life they are sering under normal usage? I can sometimes drop 10 or more percent in less than 45 mins.
[Droid X Android Development] jdhas:
Loving it so far! Great work!
[Droid X Android Development] razorloves:
is your battery fully charged? it doesnt show 100%. only shows 90% or below.
[Droid X Android Development] razorloves:
i'm getting outstanding battery life with 2.1 final. and i've seen a few others say that too. i'm not seeing the cell standby issue either. Did you do a 2.2 sbf prior to installing? did you follow the install instructions? there's a couple new important steps that were added today.
[Droid X Android Development] blueb0x:
So far so good, just need to look for that addon file from the last version that added batt % to notification bar.

Edit: did that earlier but reason it wasn't working earlier was cause I was installing the 10% followed by the regular framework; canceling it out. :( I got too excited.
[Droid X Android Development] razorloves:
it's in the /fission/addon folder on your sdcard.
[Droid X Android Development] coolj478:
I did some Googling and apperently this is a common issue. People seem to be split on if its actually effecting battery life. The battery manager fcs and the fact that it doesn't happen every restart make it harder to pin down.

Since I do believe it effects my battery life if I reboot my phone I immediately put it into airplane mode for a second a then take it out. That solves the 50% problem and I don't think its ever spontaneously started without me rebooting the phone.
[Droid X Android Development] :
It is just a visual bug, been confirmed many times from different users. Did you follow install instructions? I am having no problems with battery life as many others.

This is what my battery manager looks like...
[Droid X Android Development] coolj478:
Should've added that I am seeing excellent battery life. Going on 20 hours and only lost 30%. I still get fcs on the battery manager. I can fix it by wiping battery stats but the fcs eventually come back.
[Droid X Android Development] :
The battery manager app does FC every now and then with me too. Braway and I are working on tracking it down. We have a few ideas to what is causing it so it might be able to get fixed.

I heard it does it on the stock ROM too, can anyone confirm that?
[Droid X Android Development] bmb2n:
Anyone here experiences the the DX_Keyboard doesn't show up after installing from the SD_Card. I remember this has been fixed in the RC3 patches. Also tapping the phone icon from the launcher doesn't open up the dial keypad anymore. There is no phone icon in the app draw neither. Any advice?
[Droid X Android Development] bmb2n:
I used stock rom 2.2 for a long time and have not encountered any FC issues. I think you should perform a factory reset and do not restore data from any backup software.
[Droid X Android Development] coolj478:
I used stock 2.2 (moto blur) on the droid x and can confirm it happened all the time.
[Droid X Android Development] gc14:
Ok so with 2.1 Final...do I still have to install the vanilla framework file inside the addon directory to get 10% battery increments? (all I want is the increments, I don't care for the visual on the battery itself) Thanks.

I don't like the default music player because it doesn't respond to headset controls the way I want it to, and when I connect to my car, it automatically starts itself.

Can I remove it (using TiBu) without breaking something?

I know its been done on the 9000, but I don't know if this is one of the cases where differences between the two will have an impact.

If nobody can provide a definitive answer, I'll just uninstall it myself and report back, but I don't think it pays to do it myself and have to restore if someone can just tell me whether or not I'll bork something.

[Focus General] Manipul8r:
I am so ircked by the fact that MS released WP7 with a missing 'search' button for the Global Address List. The original realease went like this. You go to 'People' you start typing a name to search for in the search box. You hide the keyboard and ... there was a button 'Search Outlook Directory'. This button is missing. I cant believe on such a huge release and this missing feature is the key to not being able to search or benefit the features of the Global Address List with Exchange Active Directory. Please fix this ASAP Microslop. Anyone that hears of an update, please note here in this post. Microsoft says this is a known issue and will be fixed in future update. See Microsoft KB article at support dot microsoft dot com, kb article 2463128 Lets keep an eye on this.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
I haven't had issues searching for people when I send an email. So I looked up that article and noticed that it only says Exchange 2003. Is this what your company runs? Because when I start typing a name I have the option to "Search Outlook Directory".
[Focus General] hsolo:
We are on Exchanges 2003, and I just tried this too. When searching through contacts for someone in the Global Address List, but not on the actual phone, the screen reads "All" and below that "No results". If your screen reads differently on Exchange 2007, then I would agree that must be the reason. Note that I get the same results using the search button at the bottom, or the seach icon on the People hub.
[Focus General] Manipul8r:
I believe they / I are using Exhange 2007. Actually have an Exchange server farm. So I'm sure even more difficult that updating a single server box. Hmm...maybe a massive conspiracy by MS to force admins to update their Exchange boxes. I tested with and without the storage card to eliminate any possibilities and still not "Search Outlook Directory" available. I hope there is a fix Real Soon.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
Very strange you don't see it if you are connected to Exchange 2007. I am connected to 2007 and have no problem searching. Could also be a setting in the Exchange settings if you are connected to 2007.
[Focus General] foxbat121:
It could be the EAS protocol level settings are still set to old 2003/EAS v2.5. I know my company just upgraded all its exchange clusters to 2007 but protocol is still in 2003 level and I can't get HTML email from the mobile phones.

Microsoft hosts a website that let you test your exchange server's EAS protocols and other stuff: https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/

Actually I did read the stickies thoroughly before i posted this thread, the closest thing i found were instructions for installing the 2.2 version of the market which was in the really long sticky so i maybe missed what youre referring to, that sticky said the first post was about root issues but i still looked through the entire thing, both posts. i also checked the sticky in the development section. I went back to double check just now but i still dont see information about flashing froyo on a stock vibrant if its even possible. and fyi here is what i found before posting my question, these are just a few of the threads i checked. There are some "stock froyo roms" but im pretty sure they are still mods requiring root. There are many "froyo" type threads in development section. Im still trying to figure out if its even possible to flash froyo if im not rooted
