[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
I wanted to see if all bugs where caught as the build of android i originally based the app on was old. I am now running one of the newest builds and fixed and changed a lot of stuff last night and did not want to go through all that work updating both sources. It seems the other concerns are gone now so i will update the app in german today. it will be labeled german only.

PS:

I am going to update the front page today as well and try to make it more clear to understand as i just threw bits and pieces together as i was more focused on the app than the clearness of the thread. now that major concerns are gone i will spell things out as clear as i possibly can.:D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
if you are in 3.41 FW use only a 3.41 Payload. I posted a tip a while back on how to get into jailbreak mode sucessfully as there not really any clear documentation on the little independent functions for jailbreaking with this specific device.

UPDATE:

Working on german version now
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] andylhchen:
Can confirm auto brightness also breaks on mine... Maybe easier to compile a super lite rom that can be loaded in ram so we can boot fast just for purposes of jailbreak
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Jesus1988:
Thank you HackMimic, seems to work perfectly :).

Maybe you can change some Text to correct german:

"Dies wird eine modifizierte Version des Android-Downgrade starten Sie ihre PS3"

=> "Hiermit starten Sie eine modifizierte Android-Version zum Downgrade ihrer PS3."

Button: "Starten Downgrader" => "Downgrader starten"

"Dies wird android konfiguriert Launch auf ihrem PS3 Jailbreak"

=> "Hiermit starten Sie die Android-Version mit dem PS3 Jailbreak."

Button: "Starten PS3DJB Android" => "PS3DJB-Android starten"

guys im planning to buy ps3 this month.. will this work on the new ps3 firmwares?

mainly the 320gb bundle offer?

sorry im not a ps3 guy.. im a xbox guy but will try to buy and have a new life.. hope anyone will enlighten me..
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Jesus1988:
If your Firmware is lower than 3.55, it should be no problem.

I think new PS3s aren't delivered with 3.55 yet.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
so i am taking a mini poll to see what people think. I was thinking of including a mini build of android so the jailbreak could have a dedicated folder so it does not interfer with any daily use users. I did not think of this as i never touch my hd2 since going to wp7. basically you will have a dedicated build for downgrading and jailbreaking. i will include a button to launch your daily use android build as well. Finally i was also thinking of including a starter kit of homebrew with the install for those who are in a area with no internet can at least have some brew with them.

again let me know what you all think about this idea. if there is enough intrest via pm or the thread i will make the changes asap.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Zell Dinch:
Excuse me, does it modify the kernel of my android build?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dïnnïra:
Maybe you will like to create a mini android build with the very basics apps some like what darkstone have previously done & another is using your current app for custom/other build android. Just my 2cents :D coz your app works great with the ability to backup & restore.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] MIKELOVESPB:
Hello question here after downgrading to 3.41 im on 3.50 now , if i want to play online can upgrade to 3.55 , without a problem ? ....

I heard something about spoof 3.55 ......do anybody knows ? never mind i just find out

This update only stops you from updating to v3.55.

Unfortunately PSN and v3.50 firmware based games are still unavailable.

Which means and I must stated in in BOLD and in RED:

* NO ONLINE PSN GAME PLAYING

* NO GT5 (original or backup)

* NO N4S:HP (same as above)

* NO UNLOCKing YOUR PSN CONTENT

Im saving some $$ to buy another PS3 so jailB one and the other to play online ..
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] MIKELOVESPB:
I think that will be amazing !!!! im new on this psfreedom jailbreak , i want to downgrade but i just waiting to somebody tells me if I can upgrade to latest 3.55 or up when I get tired or want to play online ....

Anyways Thanks ........for the build im tented to try it ......
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] H'Daer:
Mini RAM android build, please!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] KillaHurtz:
Who do you think you are ?

Q) I started Gscript and only see a couple of payloads. Isnt there more?

A) if you are missing payloads in gscript listing hit the windows button then select add script. Then finally select load. find a missing script select it and save. it will now populate to your main list in gscript. you will need to add. hermes 3.50 + PSN v4b, CE-X hybrid payload, and 2.76FW payload.

PAYLOADS included:

CE-X FW3.41

Hermes FW3.41

Hermes v4b + psn + 3.50 FW3.41

PL3 FW2.76

PL3 FW3.01

PL3 FW3.10

PL3 FW3.15

PL3 FW3.41

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Just curious as to where you got the .bins and scripts for CE-X & Hermes4b ? If you got them from somewhere else, you should give credit to those people who ACUTALLY WROTE THE SCRIPTS & posted the .bins.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] andylhchen:
+1!!!!! :D:D:D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] bobmarsh72:
I think this would be a great idea! Something really small, so hopefully it loads quickly.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
if I forgot who did those payloads I'm sorry as I was more concerned making my app work perfect. I have started to add credits to people already. I will look for the people who made them and not the re uploaded ones from someone elses work. It was no intentional. I never claimed I made the payloads as well just wanted to make an app easier to launch things compared to what I had to due with out it.

sorry for the bad grammer. just woke up and read the post.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] KillaHurtz:
The payloads are universal. The combination of .bin & .sh are specific to HD2 and were provided by The Invisible GoD & myself.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
I will edit the main post. Thank u for giving me all the names as this site is so big its easy to not find specific items. If I missed anyone else please let me know
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Currently it does modify it but if you used backup before setup jailbreak you can revert your original zImage. I am going to update the app to be all independent for daily use android users. There will be a new folder labbled PS3Jailbreak.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Zell Dinch:
Oh, so which kernel did you use?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
I forget the actual kernal but i know its the one designed for jailbreaking.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheInVisibleGoD:
As someone already posted earlier, Hastarin 7.7!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] chrisgu15:
Great app man the only thing is that when I run the jailbreak with my current android I get bsod.. I'm running the nexushd2-frg83d.. I can however get everything to work just when my phone goes to sleep it doesn't wake up..
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dïnnïra:
Yes you may upgrade to the latest FW 3.55 but cant downgrade back to lower FW currently. Like you said earlier getting another PS3 for online & another for JB will be great choice atm.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Just made you a new Icon. It's 90 x 90 for (W)VGA.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] MIKELOVESPB:
Thanks im gone to try it tomorrow ........ to see how it works (to learn) and later forward to the latest firmware to play online .....
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Igotsanevo4g:
Will this work if we have a regular android phone?

I have an evo for example.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] aoakes:
yea, its appears to be confusing, HD2 is windows 6.5, why does the instructions state android device??

does anyone have the orginal fw with linux build for PS3? i regret updating my 60gb ps3, now the ps3 cuts me off from movies with that protection block.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] andylhchen:
Not working with the following build at all.. can't load. :confused:

[BUILD][16.12.2010] darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.2 Beta [kernel: Hastarin custom]
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
The app states android as you have to run android on the HD2 to jailbreak as it uses linux. WM cant jailbreak from the WM OS thats why android is involved.

as for people having issues i do plane to include a mini build of android just for jailbreaking so to eliminate any compatibility issue.

I am also looking into including an update feature on the app for payloads to make things easier. any payload made after whats originally included will be searched for and downloaded and placed in the correct directory and all you will need to do is add it to the GScript list. I want to ask permission from the other devs working on the porting of payloads to do so. i have hosting for the files with unlimited traffic so no fear of it ever exceeding my limits on my server :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] andylhchen:
Great news!! thank you so much!!

Will look forward to it!!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Oh if anyone has any suggestions on a lite android rom let me know.

Update:

I have just read up on a highly suggest build of android. I am going to test with darkstones latest ram build android. downloading now only a couple minutes away from testing. gonna look into the differences

I will say one thing that new darkstone rom is simply amazing.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Thank you very much i will add it in the next build
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dïnnïra:
Hmmm i thought so too that it might not work on DS new build.

Will update you guys tonight, gonna give a test soon.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
you can copy everything over but it will not work in gscript. when trying to load psfreedom it throws several errors. i checked the folders and have noticed hw has moved to the same directory as modules now. I have tried several configurations and not luck. it always seems to get stuck when moving some files around. I am going to us a normal android build for now but something lite until ram android improves. it is great to play with but still has many bugs that need to be worked out. i dont think its a good fit yet but down the road it will be.

I am doing some code optimization thanks to tbdawg. also i am happy with how fast darkstone hd2froyo v3.7 boots up in just a little over a min so i am happy with boot time and reliability so far. Im not receiving black screen on that build and everything is quick. if anyone can think of a faster stable rom let me know but im pretty happy with what i picked so far.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] D69K:
cedesmith ftw

here
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dïnnïra:
After testing it with DS new build, you're right about the error loading PSFreedom module in gScript.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] |oLo|:
OMG

Where in the world have I been....and how did I miss this valuable tool....I didn't have a reason to put android on my HD2...guess what? Now I do :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mamumami:
any updates on including a release with android, BTW which android rom works good with this? thanks
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] bobmarsh72:
The original thread this App has risen from is PSAndroid http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=815453

Which recommends using Darkstones Froyo V3

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=735532

The Zimage that is swapped when using this app is the PSFreedom patched one which is based on Hastarin 7.7. So really you can use any of the older builds, or any build compatable with that Kernel.

I asked Hastarin on his thread to see if he would be up for patching his newer kernels with PSFreedom, to which he didnt seem bothered as its not something he needs.

To which he replied

Which is fair enough, if he's not going to benefit from it.

I wonder if there is any one else with the know how to be able to update the kernel for PSFreedom??
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] sedde:
will this work with htc hd ? not hd2 !
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] bobmarsh72:
Don't know much about any other phone then my own which is a hd2.

Can you boot android on hd?

if not its a definite no.

If yes, its a possibility. depending on if you use the same kernels for launching android on the hd that you would use on the hd2 (which i highly doubt, but could be wrong)

You do know there are several things you can use to JB PS3 these days, you can even do it with your ipod nano or some other MP3 players, or even the PS3 remote itself (with a bit of soldering)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
This app should work with the HD and Touch Pro 2 but all files related for jailbreaking are only for the HD2. If anyone has the files for the other phones shoot me them as i can see what the difference is if any. if there is no difference in file names then i can just simply make a patch cab that will convert all jailbreak items from HD2 to HD or TP2

on the kernel thing i would be happy to do it but to be honest its over my head. Im not a Linux guy. I am down to research it though and see what i can do.

I have also checked out that link to that other build but think i will stay away as it is using the new kernel. To me it seems more important on having a stable environment when jailbreaking. the other build i have tested might work to an extent but always lock up and i know i would be pissed if that happened in the middle of game play. so sticking with the good old reliable build is the way to go.

on another note it seems like it would be bad for the ps3 if while being in jailbreak the phone or a dongle just quit working. I say that because i know i play with Dev_Flash sometimes and if it were to quite in the middle of overwriting. that would be almost guaranteed disastrous.

I will keep another a copy of this source i have now for the future when we get a compatible kernel for the newer android builds. I will be changing the UI for now till that day.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mamumami:
does this downgrade 3.5 firmware
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Yes it downgrades up to FW 3.5

FW 3.55 is not downgradable at all. nothing on the market will downgrade FW 3.55

Update:

I have built a new version but not yet uploaded it. i have made most of the changes minus an update feature. The cab is huge now due to the android build. almost 100mb. it does take several minutes to install as well as first boot of the jailbreak ready android as i removed data.img so it can create a new one on first run. if i included it the cab would be way to huge. my thoughts i can either zip up darkstone 3.7 build thats modified to correct folder so its a quicker cab install or i can leave it as is.

in the new gui i removed backup, restore and setup jailbreak. there are now only 3 options. Boot Normal android(for daily users) Boot downgrade and Boot Jailbreak.

let me know if you like the idea of having it install completely for you or just having the app and you have to manually do it. atleast with it in a cab you wont need to use your pc

im also thinking of doing a lite version so if your a rom flash addict then instead of having the long wait time for the files to reinstall on your phone it will just install the app without any files as they will still be located on your memory card.

Let me know and i will update the links shortly once i have enough responses.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] andylhchen:
Just wondering will the cab install the things into Andriod folder? or will it install to another folder (the darkstone 3.7 build) so this will not interfere with our normal android builds?

I do believe most of us will still stick to our normal android build (mine will be the darkstone superRAM build), and only boot the jailbreak build for jailbreak purposes. :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
the cab will install a custom folder call PS3Jailbreak. In that folder will be a dedicated build for jailbreaking. It will be independent of your normal build located in the Android folder. U will also be able to boot to your normal Android through the app. Everything is now independent build wise as to not interfere with ur normal use Android.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] andylhchen:
Awesome! Thanks :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Leonspade:
hey man that downgrader doesnt work, the app runs but nothing happens when i press the power/eject buttons. . .
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] IcedCube:
My Phat PS3 has a firmware of v3.50 (not v3.55), so would that mean that it's compatible?

I'm wanting to go back to v3.20 so I can run linux on my PS3. ;)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dïnnïra:
Yes you can.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] m_malyszko:
Will this app work on a Touch Pro II.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
yes and no. It could but I would need to make a fix as the files for hd2 are different. I am looking into making a compatibility cab for the TP2.

As for the downgraded when when it launches wait till it says connect to your ps3. The ps3 will run for a very short time then shut off. Then disconnect the phone from the ps3. Now plug your USB dongle that has lv2diag.self file 1 and either the modified pup or any other fw. I heard if u downgrade directly to fw2.10 u can avoid lossing bd playback. Then upgrade to 3.41 with a normal pup if not place the modified 3.41 pup on the dongle as well. Both files must be at the root. Plug the dongle in the far right USB port. Wait several minutes it will turn off. Now erase the files off the dongle and place lv2diag.self file 2 on the root of the dongle. It should be the only file. Place it in the far right USB port and turn on the ps3 again. It will turn of shortly. Once it does unplug the dongle and turn on the ps3. You should now be downgraded.

I will say one thing. I have noticed that on a release 60gb console I get a black screen through the whole process. I rely mainly on my power light. It works guaranteed. I was thinking of making a instructional vid of the process as its easier to see than read.

PS. I'm going to upload soon. Gonna finish the German version first so they are all done at once. I will revert to the old way of the app to save space as soon as the latest kernal supports psfreedom again.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dïnnïra:
Yup that's the right way :D

At least do a backup before doing any of this as a precaution.

Things may happen & no one can guaranty it works 100% on 1st attempt.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Leonspade:
everything was working fine until after i got into factory/service mode now everything is frozen, i connect my external hardrive to my ps3 with both the modified PUP file / lv2diag.self.1 and connect it to the right most usb slot on the ps3 but nothing happens it just gets stuck and i cant even connect my controller or access my ps3 in any way. . . I was using 3.50 FW b4 i launched the downgrader . . .
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] :
What model ps3 is it? Is it phat/slim gb?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Leonspade:
phat 80 GB
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Leonspade:
i managed to run on my ps3 using my ps2 controller connected to a usb connector which is connected to my ps3 thou and while on factory/service mode i noticed something, the ps3 may not have been able to read the external hardisk despite the face tht it has been formatted to FAT32 whenever i try to access system update thru media it says no applicable data was found also i cant browse it in neither the video nor music sections
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Leonspade:
ok i finally got it to downgrade but its still in factory/service mode, i put the lv2diag.self FILE2 on the flash drive and restarted the ps3 but still the same problem it goes into factory / service mode, it does not restart or anything . . .
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Leonspade:
nevermind, i got it working somehow :S . . . I SWEAR TO GOD Sony those incompetent fools y do their products always have to be jammed somehow, anyways im really srry i lost my patience back there i had ****ed up my fon, my ps3 wudnt even start running and i lost all the data on my external so it was just all kinda frustrating so plz forgive my outburst of rage defined accusations earlier and thanks alot for ur help everyone really great app but cud use a bit more detailed instructions for noobs such as myself
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] :
Glad you got it working man. :)

Maybe you can post what you did to get it working in case others have the same problem?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] MIKELOVESPB:
Hi guys what android build is recommended ? as soon i get it im going to try out

right now i trying mytouch4g build just to see how it works ..
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Leonspade:
ok umm. . . the jailbreak isnt working AT ALL . . . Ive tried every single GS lite program there is, load pl3 fw3.41 load hermes fw3.41, load hermes v4b+PSN+350fw3.41 and load CE-X FW3.41, NONE of them work the ps3 just takes a while to start up and then just starts up normally, no backup managers or install data files or anything . . . i managed to downgrade to the modified 3.41 FW btw . .
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] :
Did you install pkg files on the ps3 yet? You need those in order to play, capt'n hook. ;)

Look on google for Giai manager or open manager. Places like psx-scene.com or ps3hax.net may be a good place to look.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Leonspade:
lol yh i definitely plan on doing that just as soon as i manage to get it working cuz there is definitely an abundance of guides tht actually make any sense or are helpful un-including the ppl in this forum obviously . . .
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
For Jailbreaking the PS3 when you boot up into android go to gscript and select the payload and when at the bottom it starts to auto countdown you start the Jailbreak process. if its a fat hit the power switch on the back and plug in your phone via usb. now flip the power switch back on and hit power on the front then eject (make sure you dont have a disk in the drive or any other devices plugged into the usb ports). the ps3 will take a while to boot but then you should be in jailbreak mode.

Note: if you have a slim instead of hitting the power switch on the back you will need to unplug the power cord for that step.

also on downgrading i do not recommend using a external hard drive. use a usb dongle. I use a 8GB when i downgrade.

no brew is included with the app. another good backup manager to use is MultiMan. I would say its one of the best as it has a built in file explorer.

as i said i will do a video tut on how everything works. i have done it so many times without issues. its all about the little tricks to make it work perfectly.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Leonspade:
ok dude i installed open manager 1.17.1 on my flashdrive and still NOTHING is showing up . . . Am i serusly the only one in the worold having problems with this!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
do you have skype. i can try to walk you through it.

PS: im getting ready to update the app.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Leonspade:
yeah dude but HOW do i even install the back up manager, i follow all these steps but im nvr getting to the point where i can actually install anything . . .
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Leonspade:
yeah my skype names Leonspade
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
I am going to PM you to set up a time. I am finishing the german version and have to run to work. But i will help you get this working.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Leonspade:
Allright thanx m8
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
I am uploading the new build now. Should be done in 5 min. Both German and English versions are updated to 2.5

Thank you Jesus1988 for the correct translation for the german build

Update: they finished faster than i thought. all is updated and ready to download now. Enjoy
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] MIKELOVESPB:
hi HackMimic it says update 2.5 right but on first page is 2.0 is the same one..sorry about Dumb Question... im going to download now
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
sorry about that. Missed that one spot. I have corrected it now. Thank you
