Firmware 2.80 Dumped!

greg | July 27, 2006

Check this out… an email from Patrick!

GmDude66 from pspupdates has managed to fully decrypt firmware 2.80. Below is a changelog of files that were added/changed. And yes, 2.80 uses the same encryption key as 2.70 did.

f:\dh\250\flash0\kd\resource\
me_blimg.img

f:\dh\280\flash0\vsh\module\
dd_helper_utility.prx

f:\dh\280\flash0\vsh\resource\
lftv_rmc_univer3in1.rco
lftv_rmc_univer3in1_jp.rco
lftv_rmc_univerpanel.rco
lftv_rmc_univerpanel_jp.rco
lftv_rmc_univertuner.rco
lftv_rmc_univertuner_jp.rco
netfront.skn changed to netfront.rc

f:\dh\280\ipl and f:\dh\271\iplcomparrison
psp_ipl.bin changed to psp_nandipl.bin
psp_ipl.bin_p1 changed to psp_nandipl.bin_p1
psp_ipl.bin_p2_040F0000 changed to psp_nandipl.bin_p2_040F0000
psp_ipl.bin_p3 changed to psp_nandipl.bin_p3

Please note 2.80 has yet to be emulated with DevHook - this is just the first step - a decrypted copy of ‘reboot.bin’ is still required.

Attached is a revised version of BOOSTER’s DevHook Firmware installer:

  1. copy the contents of this zip archive to “ms0:/PSP/GAME”
  2. extract “DATA.PSAR” from the 2.80 EBOOT update [using PBP Unpacker] and copy it to the root of your memory stick (ms0:/)
  3. run this app. The result: a 2.80 dump in “ms0:/dh/280″

2006-07-28 01:20:31

Sony should have fired a couple of their coders today…tsk tsk tsk. 2.80 isn’t cracked at all… it was cracked to begin with apparently.

From an outside, non-psp-hacking community standpoint, one can make note that Sony is doing well to at least TRY to protect from piracy…which is more than any other company has done for their systems (non pc). However, something comes out from Sony under the same encryption key… just plain retarded.

if they were to change the encryption key then all games out right now wouldn’t work on the update. and can someone rapidshare the files cause i can’t gwt the decrypter to work. thx.

Don’t know if this is what you have to do to get this program to work or not, but before when i tried it all i got was the stupid 2 TXT files, and it deleted the Data.PSAR.

What I did was:
Added the Folder 280 to mx0:/dh/

So I made the folder for 2.8 in DevHook

When you’re finished the file structure should look like this:

ms0:/dh/280

then put the DATA.PSAR in ms0:/
and the program in ms0:/PSP/GAME
and run it via 1.5

This is fake… Why, oh why would you create false hope like this?!

 
Comment by Abdullah Rathur
2006-07-28 02:32:26

For all you people having trouble with this, here’s the solution:

After you copy the two folders into the GAME folder, and after you copy DATA.PSAR into the root of the stick, there’s one more thing to do, a very important step that the “tutorial” failed to mention. You need to go to this place in your memory stick:

“ms0:/dh”

In the “dh” folder, you need to make your own folder called “280″. All the other firmware decrypting programs made the firmware folder themselves, but this time you have to make it youselves. After that “280″ folder is made, then go and run the application on your PSP.

2006-07-28 02:44:11

for u all people it decrypting only the files from 2.8 to ur Dh folder ,so basicly wait until a new devhook arrives for 2.8 and u may enjoy the 2.8 ok?and another thing stop blabbering like an 5 year old childeren, cuase with all respect sony is the best company but it can be a pain in the ass by knowing they don`t want to lose money that`s why its protected for u all 2 know.so chill and wait for the santa clause to bring presents for us :D

sorry for the double, uh, comment but heres some more info: Please note that 2.80 can not yet be emulated until I get the reboot.bin file for 2.80, this just shows that 2.80 is now decrypted. Have fun browsing the 2.80 files for now -GMDude66

so basically this is just a firmware 2.8 dump….. since devhook can emulate 2.71 ENCRYPTED dump just the reboot.bin has to be decrypted

You guys are FUCKING IDIOTS. DevHook uses ENCRYPTED FIRMWARE WITH DECRYPTED REBOOT.BIN.

Anyway, this isn’t even DECRYPTED, so it’s the biggest waste of time EVER. 2.80 could already be extracted in encrypted form as soon as it was released.

Go and learn something about the PSP before you make useless tools that do nothing.

Yeh, devhook 0.46 is out:

quote:(July 28th, 2006, 10:46 Posted By: motz

Booster has just released another version of DevHook, updating it to v0.46. Here is what’s contained in the readme:

- There is no 2.8 FW support yet.
- DevHook can now install to flash0 (dangerous, like all PSP flashing).
- If you install DevHook via flash, use “Remove Devhook Files” option to uninstall it.
- some games faster via flashing 0.46, ie F1 2006 (EUR) but GTA still lags.
- if you autoboot or use the Web it does not run from the MS, it runs from flash making things faster using less overhead.
- 333 MHz reported as fixed for some, not offically confirmed.
- be sure to read PSP_FlashROM_ENG.txt if you plan to flash it!

Please remember that there is a risk of bricking when writing to flash and you take full responsibility for using this app!

I got a question, since it uses the same encryption key and theres no security updates, wouldnt it be safe for 2.7+ users to update? because if there almost identical with just that video folder thing, then any exploit in 2.7+ would most likely work on 2.8 too, right?

Comment by killzusall
2006-07-28 08:58:44

jas0nuk does make contributions seen em on ps2nfo.com

anyhows the firmware dump is useful cos when DAX decrypted the 2.71 firmwares he used a file called sysmem.prx to extract the reboot.bin and when devhook supports a firmware it loads all the individual files as the NAND flash would, so they did need to be extracted.

It’s not fake, just got to make sure you create a ms0:/dh/280 folder before running it.

Also noticed it said it could not decrypt loadexec.prx and loadexec.dec

(Keanan)
first you firmware version 1.50 but you can downgrade from versions 2.00 , 2.50 and 2.60 . To use it just extract the RAR to the root of the memory stick and run the Eboot then select you firmware and UMD or ISO and you are emulating that firmware

 
Comment by chriscooke109
2006-07-28 09:27:09

This isn’t decrypted and the installer doesn’t except the 2.80 data.psar, we can already dump the files encrypted which is useless without the decrypted reboot.bin. And weener it is you fault for updating.

To all of you guys saying Sony sucks or F*** Sony I think you need to grow up and remember that without Sony, you wouldn’t even have this great portable to do anything with. So next time you open your mouth, maybe you should let your brain (assuming you actually have one) catch up first. Sony bought as this great portable so have some respect. Thanks Sony!!

2006-07-28 10:43:29

ya and think about it there is now way to run any homebrew on 2.7X so quit asking about downgraders before there could ever be one someone has to figure out how to run any sort of homebrew. so yes it is your fuckin fault but i did it too with my second PSP but i had a warrenty on it so i got a new and downgraded from 2.6

I think… if you post more than three comments on one post on a regular basis… you spend a little too much time caring about PSP and using the “I care about the hacking ‘community’ excuse” to justify the fact that you don’t want to find something else to do, so jas0nuk please quit yelling lol we don’t care if it’s not decrypted or that people are saying it is… if they’re that stupid to think it is in the first place, just go on letting them think that and it can be their problem and maybe if they’re stupid enough someday they’ll brick their PSPs and go away forever.
