Hello World on ALL Firmwares — up to 3.03!

greg | January 25, 2007

Say whaaat? Just when you thought the PSP scene was dying… *BANG* — in your face Sony! The Noobz have discovered a user-mode exploit in all firmware versions — up to 3.03! What does this mean? Well they’ve stated on their site that a functioning downgrader should be ready within the week. Is that the answer you’re looking for? ;)

The vulnerability is exploited by using the original unpatched version of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (GTA:LCS). Remember that — it paved the path for the great eLoader!? The later version of GTA:LCS, the one you’ll find on shelves now, unfortunately will not work.

Moving forward; here’s how it’s used:

  • Extract the files from the ZIP into the /PSP/SAVEDATA folder on your memory stick.
  • Start GTA:LCS

Booyah!

The Noobz also have a useful FAQ on their site:

  1. Do I need GTA:LCS?

    Yes, this requires an original unpatched version of GTA:LCS. Once the downgrader is released, you will only need to borrow an unpatched copy of GTA:LCS briefly to perform the downgrade.

  2. It didn’t work!

    Verify that you have an unpatched copy of GTA. Only GTA:LCS UMDs that contain a copy of the 2.00 system update will work.

  3. It still didn’t work!

    Having other GTA savegames on your memory stick can cause problems. Make a backup of your memory stick contents, reformat the memory stick, and copy only the files from the Goofy ZIP onto it. Restart the PSP and try again.

  4. Do we have access to kernel mode?

    It’s a bit tricky, but yes, the kernel mode hole found by Team C+D still works from the Goofy exploit. The downgrader will use this to perform its magic.

  5. Should I upgrade to 3.03 in anticipation?

    The downgrader will require 3.03, but you might want to wait until it comes out before upgrading, just in case!

  6. Will the downgrader work on all PSPs?

    That’s the plan.

  7. Does this work on custom firmware?

    If you’re already running a custom firmware, congratulations, you have no need for this. But the Hello World should still run if you’d like to see it in action.

Nice job guys.

(i used you thread to post at the top, soz if im not alowed)

taken from noobz.eu

It looks like the current 2.80 downgrader will probably work on v3.03, once we can run homebrew on that firmware

what happened here then, did noobz find it didnt work or have they forgoten they wrote this?

because itll take a month before the upgrade is on shop stock psps ;-)
wholl buy em? more to the point, will the shops upgrade their current 3.03’s for the newer upgrade? nope!
this is another few hundred thousand down/upgradeable psp at least.

Comment by Systematic Suicide
2007-01-25 21:03:08

God…the stupidity of people. This is NOT a downgrader….this is a fucking “hello world!” application, that writes a simple line of text saying “hello world” to demonstrate that code can be executed. They said to EXPECT a downgrader WITHIN A WEEK! It’ll most likely downgrade to 1.5, not 2.0.

Also, how in the hell does this make way for a downgrader? It’s a USER MODE access hack. You’ve got to unlock kernel mode as well first….

And finally, NOOBZ is the team that created ELoader (Fanjita, mat, and co.)

They’re not twelve-year-olds, and theyre not a single person…

everybody get ready to expect the new psp firmwire 3.50. It has been anounced 2 days ago that Sony will be releasing their new psp firmwire update. Sony said that this will have a couploe of new features.One of the features is Obviously enhanced security.Sony also said that they will be adding psp search browser on the new 3.50.this is supposedly supposed to help your psp find anything on it. ( Pictures, photo, music, and etc.)But the security on this new firmwire is said to be really strong.Sony obviously didnt mension it.The new firmwire will be released around somewhre next week.

My advice to all you homebrew loving people is DONT UPGRADE.If you really want it, just wait for it to be decrypted.
Thats all the 411 I got for you.

PS. I am currently working on a psp sega saturn emulator.Its almost done.I just need to emulate the sound and make it go a little bit more faster.I also need to fix the intro on the emulator from freezing.It will take me at least 2 months for this to be done.Its a really cool emulator for the psp.I know you wiil all love it.

Piece out

Dude, that would be awesome. You wouldn’t mind sending me the eboot would you? I have plenty of ROMs to test it with.

And all you other guys, please read before you post.

1)This isn’t a downgrader, it is a hello world proof of concept

2)They said that kernal mode can be accessed, that means a downgrader soon

3)This isn’t rumors, if you want to see “Hello World” in action on your 3.03 psp, do what the article says.

that is all

Comment by Dj Dumbi
2007-01-26 01:55:53

the guy who should be shot in the face first is that DarkAlexSucks guy that was on here a while back. And I definately agree that whoever asks for a downgrader higher than 3.03 should be shot in the ass and then the face.

No, I didn’t make “helo world,” but I did read the fucking article. It says in plain english, that this is a user mode exploit. And I have studied PSP programming, albeit I haven’t scripted anything you guys would know. User mode basically allows access to the memory stick and the RAM for storing temp files, along with some CPU commands. Kernel mode allows full acess to the NAND flash chip, which is needed for a firmware install.
So fucking bite me.

Either way, I’m rooting for Noobz here! They kick ass. :

Maybe you should have read a little better. Than you would have known, that Team C+D allready found a way to switch from user to kernel mode in all known firmwares.

 
Comment by SpyrO
2007-01-26 16:41:50

Fag, Team C+D found kernel on 2.80 n they said it will most likely work on all frimware up to 3.03. So Noobz do ahve kernel access. or they should do.

Daft twat

This is awesome, i’ve been hoping to be able to downgrade from 2.81 for a while! I pretty much creamed myself when I popped in my copy of LCS and saw that “PSP Update ver. 2.00″ appear. Now I have the perfect excuse to get a bigger memory stick (still on the stock 32mb). Good job guys!

JUST TO TELL EVERYONE IT IS NOT CONFIRMED THAT A DOWNGRADER WORKS, IT WILL PROBOBLY WORK BUT EVERYONE HAS TO BE PATIENT. THE DOWNGRADER WILL COME OUT LIKE AFTER A MOUTH OR A FEW WEEKS.

BECAUSE WHEN THE 2.80 EXPLOIT WAS FOUND IT TOOK A WHILE FOR A DOWNGRADER.

just so dat ppl dont know.. im pretty shure what there doing is making a 3.03 downgrader… so stop asking if your 2.81 or something is downgradeable.. just update it to 3.03 (not rite now, when downgrader comes), and then from there downgrade it to watever firmware that it downgrades too (probably 1.5 or 2.71)

Well done guys. It’s good to see such a dedicated group. The fun never ends when you’re hacking. On a diff note, all of these stupid kids swearing just because!!! Lamers. Also, putting down Sony – doubly lame. Without them, there would be no PSP and where would all of the fun of the homebrew community be?
Thank them for the great PSP, and thank Noobz, DarkAlex, et al for all of their great work.

Comment by funnybutrandom
2007-01-26 14:33:33

you have to have one of the older GTA`s, to tell if its pached, go onto game sub folder on your psp then below the game startup ot will say “system update 2.0″ if it says 3.0 then its patched

That’s a really good news. The thing is, i bought my PSP with the “patched” GTA:LCS game, which is the reason why i upgraded it to 2.81… I hope i’ll be able to find an older version to borrow/rent/buy.

Does it work with all world’s version of the PSP ? I have a european PSP…

yu must look for some1 with the original GTA LCS or buy it, the unpatched version (ull know its unpated when yu see ‘upgrade to 2.0′ on the game screen… but this is really not a hack it just shows that they found a way to hack it, and that there should be a downgrader in a couple of dayz, or few weekz. so w.e you do. DONT NOT UPGRADE ANYMORE =)

Just picked up GTA:LCS at EB, for $17.99. It was the unpatched version. Got lucky. The UPC code on it is “7 10425 23696 9″. Don’t get the Greatest Hits version, that’s not it. This may help. On the back cover, on the lower left, under Rockstar Games, is says copyright 2005. Hope this helps.

it shows that a hackable exploit exists, and shows programmers how to access it id imagine
this is a breakthrough program- it itself does nothing important to you, it is important in that it shows the exploit IS there and can be used

Yea, the site is working for me. Maybe there redoing it for the release of the 3.03 downgrader. I’m realy happy about this. I got my PSP used from my uncle how decided at the last second to update it to 3.02 so I wouldn’t hack it, like I did to my Xbox and Dreamcast. I can’t wait to start porting some of my C++ indi games to the PSP. Should be loads of fun….
