Beware 3.0 Beta Files

Alias420 | May 1, 2006

Recently torrent sites and peer to peer networks have started listing a PSP 3.0 firmware beta. This is a fake. Some people have reported that it will install 2.6 but report it as 3.0. If you run this file you risk not being able to upgrade to anything under 3.1. So resist that desire to run that eboot.

WHY THE HELL IS SOME PERSON GONNA GET FIRMWARE 3.0 OFF A TORRENT SITE. AFTER THE PSP BRICK PROGRAM I THINK IT’S PRETTY SAFE TO SAY THAT DOWNLOADING ANYTHING FOR THE PSP OFF A TORRENT SITE IS NOT SAFE.

This sounds like the same thing that happened back at 2.0 D=

So…. that means that he cracked the portion of the flash that held the firmware number that was previously encrypted.
Why doesn’t he use his powers for good instead of evil so everyone can downgrade?

so.. that means that they were able to edit the PRAM.SFO right? if so then why are not we able to do this to downgrade(besides sony’s coding)? but i thot this wouldnt work because the encription would be broken?

Id have 2 agree with #6 and #7… if you find a way to downgrade 2.0+ fimwares, you will be a legend in the psp hacking community (e.g. fantajia)

RE:8

ummmmm fanjita didn’t downgrade.

It was started with PSP-Dev and WAB

Then continued by SXT

and then finished by MPH

All the people that downloaded this – You have just been owned. This is what you get for running things on your PSP when you don’t know what the F you are doing. Make sure to check into things before you do this kind of garbage…

well what if you put the 1.5 firmware on there and reported it as 3.0…. would that work? as a downgrade?

 
Comment by nknave
2006-05-01 03:29:50

to #13.

I belive it could be possible, and we can all be happy!!

add 2.7 capabilites to a 1.5 firmware, and report as 2.8 to begin with, than to higher versions as we update.

but of course we need to see what the whole deal is about this, if it’s a true update/eboot.pbp mod or something.

 
Comment by if this works...
2006-05-01 03:45:08

has this been tested to actually install 2.6 firmware and make it seem like 3.0 ??
can’t you rebuild this file to report as firmware 1.0 ?
if that was possible, we could perhaps install the 1.50 update …
maybe the downgrader is finally arriving !!!

 
Comment by nknave
2006-05-01 03:50:34

correct, but I don’t know where to get this, I’ve been looking around and can’t find it, if someone can give a hint, I’ll take a look at it.

 
Comment by Typwn
2006-05-01 03:56:36

If I can find it, I’ll see if it can be dumped. From there I’ll give a better idea of what exactly it is.

my hacking knowledge is not very impressive for psp, but what I would do is study it with a Hex Editor and see the difference between that so called 3.0 and the rest of the official firmwares, and see if we can immitate how it works, and fix the 1.5 eboot to show up as 2.8 or something.

 
Comment by Ditlew
2006-05-01 05:04:59

All the feeds I’ve found are dead. I’ve also seen mixed feedback, some says that is installs 2.6, but others say it is just a renamed Adobe file.

I downloaded a BETA file of 3.0 and i install it while running 2.6, it just downgrades you to 1.5, You can run homebrew because i put in my memo stick a few home brew games, and they play fine, But the only problem is, in system settings it says 3.0 if you check about 15 minutes later it changes to 1.5 then quickly goes to 3.0, It just a little bug in security system, its really 1.5!

Hey but you can install this over 2.7 so you have downgraded to 2.6!!!

 
Comment by Glenn
2006-05-01 07:35:20

So if you can get a 2.60 firmware to say 3.00 and install it does that mean we could get something like 1.5 and say 2.71 and install it

if nknave # 18 could do that i think the firmware should be version 2.71 so you could still upgrade to 2.80 and up

#21 for sme reason i dont belive that it ‘downgrades’ you to a 1.5 if its true email psp-hacks with proof eg video of you running 3.0 with homebrew (iso loader) and then if psp-hacks posts it on the front page saying your true i will belive you. but untill then shut up!!

Comment by Arlac

“If you run this file you risk not being able to upgrade to anything under 3.1″ meaning, you can’t upgrade to final v3.0 when it comes out

 
Comment by ?
2006-05-01 16:44:48

If its 3.1…just dissasemble the file to make it say 2.81 or something, if it works it would be lucky, because the poeple who made this somehow knows sonys signature…

59 that file is real fake

Adobe Photoshop CS Windows..2006:04:08 09:13:27

thats what comes up if you open it with a hex program also real eboots compress by about 20kb so a rar would be about the same size as the eboot file normal so you actualy found a fake of a fake

FAAAAAAAKE! You upgrade, your PSP thinks it’s 3.00. But you really have 2.60. Yeah, 2.60 forever, untill sony releases 3.01 (or something like that). Besides, this file is illegal to download.

GeeGee, Muthas!

If you check the forums i made a topic on this a while back. I believe i was first to even mention finding these so called beta files which were found to be made of a load of crap like adobe files and others windows files.Check it out: http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=26008
