3.10 Firmware Decrypted!

greg | January 31, 2007

Ah ha! Good morning, and what a morning! Team C+D has done it again with successfully decrypting the latest PSP firmware — 3.10.

  1. Download the firmware 3.10 update and the new PSAR dumper
  2. Copy “psar_dump2″ and “psar_dump2%” to the correct location on your memory stick (GAME or GAME150 depending on your configuration — must be ran under the 1.50 kernel)
  3. Use PBP Unpacker to extract DATA.PSAR from the 3.10 update EBOOT
  4. Run PSAR Dumper

Kudos on that! And thanks to absolutely everyone who dropped me an email with the news.

Are you anticipating what I’m anticipating? ;)

Download:
PSAR Dumper (for 3.10)
3.10 Update EBOOT
PBP Unpacker

actually i believe you are wrong, see, sony is not stupid. They make the firmware not all that hard to decrypt so that hombrew users will be able to still use the firmware (via devhook, cw, etc…) and so then they would still buy games. If sony did not do this than all of us hackers would then just decide to never upgrade, and thus never buy anymore psp games, of which would be fine since we would have out homebrew games and now ps1 games. So to sum up sony did not get owned, they are just playing smart so as to keep everyone buying games.

I mostly agree you.
You also can think Chony being cool with scene, or, maybe? being not able to produce something undecypherable.
And not all sceners are hackers but users and programmers. -Users- are all. -Programmers- are the ones that -make- programs for the scene, and -hackers- are those user-programmers that also solve the riddles of encryption and walls of protections. Users, again, are the ones that could decide not to buy a game from Chony. The point is that scene benefits Chony, as you say, because scene makes Chony sell more consoles, and those -introduced by scene- PSP owners could decide to buy some games “to see what they look like before risking my PSP or I am legal, so I’ll buy a game from time to time because i like it and want to support all those programmers work, although if games were cheaper surely I would more, but I can’t afford it”. Otherwise, those “new-sceners” wouldn’t spend a dollar, yen or euro on any Chony related company.
What Chony should have to do is to open the firmware to scene, they’d spend less time with silly protections. They also know that there are no unbreakable protections. Maybe a matter of image or prestige?

i understand what you were saying about the whole not everyone is a hacker thing, i just couldnt think of a better name but i guess -user- works. And im not sure though i still think sony is making them not that hard to decypher on purpose, because is it really that hard to change up the encryption and tweak a few things to make it so hard that it isnt worth decrypting? and like i still see it as them taking a gamble if they make it undecypherable since they would either get a lot of people to upgrade since they cant use devhook or anything, or they would be stuck with a majority of their consoles downgraded and -users- not caring that they cant use the new firmware since their downgraded firmware lets them play a good amount of games, whether they be homebrew or ps1 games.

what ever you fucking noobs , y the hell would sony wont to have any one running ISOs , you 3 fuckers are just trying to take away the credit Team C+D is getting , sony cant keep there firmwire safe from Team C+D,dark_alex ect. cause they are to good, well done Team C+D

*sigh* standard retard response, im not trying to take any credit away from anyone, i was mearly trying to comment on why
a. it took a short amount of time
and b. how sony really isnt stupid and how they did not really get OWNED.
so watch yourself b4 u call some one a *fucking noob* cuz you see it would be more noobish to just randomly say “hahah S0ny ju27 907 0wnz0rzd, and then just say hey thanks team C+D you are t3h 1337,” instead of actually thinking about the situation.
so in short, you are more of the noob than us ya retard

heres something all of you are missing cause your all too busy talking shit to each other, first off the firmwares are NOT truely decrypted or cracked or any other word you might think of using in place, CAUSE something you all are not seeing is that DV and DA cfw’s DO NOT give you full decrypted access to the newer fw’s like old school 2.0 and 2.5 did, those were TRUELY fully decrypted fw’s and since then theres been 2.6,2.7,2.71,2.8,2.81…you get my point All of which have not been able to be by definition 100% “DECRYPTED”, have they? and before any of you stupid asses make any kind of responce thik of it this way, we still have to use decryted 2.5 files for us to be able to have custom menu icons and texts and menu names… so yes C+D and DA and BOOSTER have all done great great great work, but its been lets count them together guys 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8…about 10 firmware updates since we have ever had full 100% “DECRYPTED” access. So…..no sony didnt get owned and we as a figurative hacking scene did not lose either…its more or less a stale mate of sorts.

riiiiight, ps1 games are a newer addition compared to their earlier updates tho arent they
they only offered as much for psp users cos ps3 store was catering to one console holder but not the other, theyre not smart…just dumb & greedy

I got GTA:VCS the day it came out, and played it on the custom firmware that was most recent. Wasn’t it 2.71SE then?
Ah well…I hope DaX blesses us with some custom firmware soon.

Oh, and a little suggestion: To free up flash memory, wouldn’t it be possible to make a plugin for 3.1OE to redirect the BROWSER icon to a PRX/EBOOT on the PSP, to run a homebrew browser? That browser’s a resource hog, and I’m sure it eats up a decent maount of flash.

More flash = more features for DAX to pimp out his FW with, including .dax support. ;)

 
Comment by Systematic Suicide
2007-02-01 02:07:45

Self correction: I meant to say, to redirect the BROWSER icon to a PRX/EBOOT on the PSP memory stick.

Maybe there should be an edit button…gah I need to stop posting on forums so much.

2007-02-01 13:09:10

OMGZ what i friggin noob, VCS plays on any of the 3.0x oe firmwares! Try changin some of the settings in the recovery menu. its not hard.
simple FACT for here ya sweety – DevHook provides NOTHING that 3.0x oe does not also provide. It’s time to move over buddy. geez its as bad as when all the die hard Windows 98 users refused to go to XP. technology evolves and its a good ides to try and keep up with it!

P.S if its cos you dont wanna flash, its really not that scary look at the 3.03 installation success rate thread in the forums. 3 bricks / 100’s of successes!

2007-02-01 15:51:47

gtavcs runs perfectly for me on 3.03oe-b i dunno … if you are using a backup iso you still need a umd for vcs so put in ANY umd and run recover and disable no-umd if you havent already done this…works for me….

i dont think there will be a 3.10OE-A as there isnt any differnet between this and 3.03OE any version, it was just because SONY GOT OWNED!!! thats why they released it because some stupid people update thier firmwire not having a clue about homebrew

Comment by 3.03 OE-B
2007-01-31 10:35:15

I quite agree. Also that the new games that’ll come out will probably require 3.10+. This would be the only reason to make a 3.10 OE-A. Other then that. The update from 3.03 to 3.10? WTF big jump in firmware just to release nothing special. Ooooh, OK. I can play more PSx games. Well I can do that anyways. lmao.

you can just downgrade your office firmware, do that first before you can even try to dump, cause with your’s official 3.03, the dumper wont even run. So take my advice, and DOWNGRADE! (to 1.5) THEN to CUSTOM FIRMWARE 3.03OE.

RESPECT Sony!!!You people don’t understand?If we make Sony to dispear they won’t release any upgrades.Upgrades are usefull…Just compare the 1.50 with the 3.10 firmware.The last has much more features, and believe me PSP has so many features that you can’t even imagine.I bet that PSP can be set up in better softwares like Linux (the software that uses even the ipod video…!!!)You may wonder why they haven’t done it again…Think people…If Sony releases such a software it won’t sell any other more expensive products like Vaio or some palmtops!So respect Sony.It is usefull!!!

Don’t be so rude at sony.

We must thank them for continuing to improve the capability of the PSP. eventhough they always lose on firmware security battle with our devs.

We owe them the PSone emulator! It takes us to higher level of portable gaming!

but of course! who’s responsible? we have to praise our devs like Dark_AleX for giving us a great custom firmware. and his supporting devs. for the PSAR dumper

Comment by Kudou
2007-01-31 12:53:50

yeah i guess props goes all round for this. i don’t think there were any huge security changes on this round though. thats why it was so easy to get this far within release.

Would make life easier if they didn’t lock the fw and force devs to open them. but then again, if they did, they’d loose face. and also open up talks about piracy and corporations allowing it…esp since sony is huge in entertainment (movies, music, duh games, etc…). they prob dun care secretly, lol. they keep releasing, and dev’s keep hacking. so it works out for both parties.

o_O jus don’t download ISO’s all the time…homebrew has so much more capabilities…

i dont think we should be praisin sony for anything, they are afterall massive bastard company, lets not forget what they did to Lik-Sang.com, and if they had the means they would probably do away with the whole homebrew scene, all the new features that are released in the firware updates should have been applyd when they released the psp, but its a better marketing strategy to release things bit by bit, tat way they can keep (failing at) increasing security while giving dumb ass noobs a reason to upgrade, “ooooooh look shiny new things!” anyway…enough ranting, Fuck Sony! Great job team C+D! long live homebrew!

No. Do not run the update under any circumstances. This is only for people with firmware 1.5 and devhook. I would suggest that you would benefit from running one of the custom firmwares for now (if you aren’t already doing so) and wait for a 3.10 custom firmware to be released.

Comment by Tensai Ninja
2007-01-31 17:10:28

This isn’t a downgrade, this is a firmware decrypter for use with devhook, which only 1.5 users etc can use. Try the forums for info on how to downgrade your psp- currently only 3.03 downwards can be downgraded. Once this is done, either use the latest devhook, or get the latest custom firmware. ^_^

Comment by Tensai Ninja
2007-01-31 17:12:47

It decrypts the new 3.10 firmware for use with devhook. It is completely different to just downloading the undecrypted version which cannot be used with devhook. Devhook allows you to play games which rely on the latest firmware version. See the forums for more info.

Comment by Tensai Ninja

Actually that’s not wholly accurate; the psar dumper itself does exactly what it says on the tin- dumps the psar. lol

guys, think for a minute, do you really think that sony gives a damn anymore about the exploits! after all they receive lots of money for doing nothing but endorse software that is created by others, if anything, hacking the psp has helped them sell more. I still believe that sony could zip the firmware shut permanently if they really wanted to by removing the ability to communicate with the flash chip via xmb or usb

To the ppl who cant get the gta vcs iso or cso to work in the game xmb of the psp u dont need to use any devhooks, in the recovery mode on configuration -> disable the Use NO-UMD (currently: disabled) and in the Advanced -> Advanced configuration -> make sure the Use isofs driver also in UMD-inserted mode (currently:disabled) then when u go to load the iso from the game xmb put a umd in any umd and the iso will load. The gta vcs iso will work with no umd only on 2.71 SE C hopefully in 3.0x OE etc it can be sorted so the iso plays without a umd ive been testing prx files by adding them to seplugins to see if i could get the gta vcs iso to load without a umd but no luck yet i need the prx files from 2.71 SE C i think its a plain.prx but how to get it any ideas ppl? lol because it wont be in seplugins if u flashed 2.71 SE C its in the flash i think? and only 3.03 SE C can access the flash0. (damn i just gave myself an idea lol)

Comment by Systematic Suicide
2007-02-01 02:32:59

That’s a three step process, my firend.
1.Downgrade to 1.5 then upgrade to 2.71SE

2.Use XFlash to dump your flash, then use USB mode to make sure you have the full flash dump; included in the dumped files will be your PRX

3.Upgrade to 3.03OE-C and work your magic with the PRX from the flash dump you made with XFlash. Congradulations, you have the 2.71SE PRXs for your mad experiments. ;)

Also, which PRX is it that allows for the full NOUMD emulation? If it’s virtually the same or similar to the corresponding 3.03 PRX it might be possible to use PSP Filer with “hackker mode” enabled (L+R+dpad left) to copy the prx form your memcard to your flash.

Hope this helps you, friend.

Comment by Systematic Suicide
2007-02-01 02:35:09

EDIT: I forgot about the Flash-USB mod in 3.03OEC. You could just use that and drag+drop the prx yo your PSP’s flash. Instead of messing with PSP filer.

I agree. We all got along OK with DevHook between 2.71-SE and 3.02-OE. We can be patient until 3.50-OE (because of course, FW 3.50 will be here by March), or whatever, as long as quick decryption continues.
