Software downgraders could become a reality for PS3 4.81, for consoles that are CFW compatible (basically non super slims).A Flash memory dumper should be released soon for all models.There’s a lengthy article over at PSX-place giving some practical details. The team behind the PS3Xploit (W, esc0rtD3w, and bguerville) have given lots of details on the stuff they’re working on. Additional details on what’s to come: software downgrades for cfw compatible consoles, “HEN” kind of hack for others. You can download the 4.81 IDPS dumper at the source article on psx-place. Other people might take your idps, potentially use it to get their own console unbanned, and this could be bad news for you. The IDPS is a unique console identifier, and has been used among other things to “unban” a PS3 (by flashing a different idps), or to decrypt the encrypted contents of the console’s hard drive.Ī word of warning: because the IDPS uniquely identifies your console, do not share it with other people, in particular on forums or in public channels. The most recent version of the tool, 0.2.1, is compatible with all models of the PS3 including the Super Slim. IDPS Dumper for PS3 OFW 4.81 releasedįirst of all, the team released an IDPS dumper running on the latest 4.81 firmware. Since the leak, they have released an IDPS Dumper for 4.81, and shared a few details on what’s to come, on PS3 scene site psx-place. In spite of the leak, the dev team behind the 4.81 exploit have confirmed they are still working on it.
For those who got access to the leaked content, it was clear that the leak was real, but not the full thing. In a strange act of unity for a usually drama-fed scene, it seems most PS3 scene sites tried to contain the leak by not sharing any download links. Unfortunately, part of the hacker’s work got leaked soon after the announce.
