Firmware 5.03 TIFF Exploit: Now on Slim and Fat Models. And the PSP-3000?!
greg | April 15, 2009
Just a few days ago you read about this newly discovered TIFF exploit running on PSP-1000 (Fat) models with firmware 5.03. Today the same exploit is now functioning on the PSP-2000 (Slim), but sadly, still, MaTiAz mentions no PSP-3000 support… Or wait… What the… Could it be?!
What you just witnessed appears to be a PSP-3000 running firmware 5.02 that is indeed vulnerable to MaTiAz’s or some derivation of MaTiAz’s TIFF exploit. As always, stay tuned.

Kickass, there is still hope. Hopefully, I’ll stop seeing all the whine-y kids with their PSP-3000’s…
Sorry Mike this is not in reply to you ;) Just putting it at top so that it can hopefully be ‘corrected’
PSP says version 5.02, text on this site says 5.03 in titles and 5.02 in description.
Trippy :S lol
Being as it’s 5.02 in the vid I think it’s safe to say it’s for that…
(Please feel free to delete this comment once corrected ;))
Nice, progress is always welcome
WTF? Why do people always hide there Mac Address. What the hell can someone possibly do with your PSP Mac Address
They can say “I have your mac address” on those youtube vids just to troll you. I don’t know what they can do with it though >_<.
Actually people can code applications to do checks on the MAC Address associated with the PSP. If the MAC address matches (the ‘whitelist’ of the only allowed PSPs in the app) the dev can code the application to quit, turn the PSP off, or even format the flash0. It’s used sometimes to protect people from sharing secret projects.
On the other hand people can code in a ‘blacklist’, for people they know are not allowed to use a certain program, using MAC Addresses, as they are unique to each PSP.
each PSP’s MAC is “unique”. so people are afraid that Sony can see the MAC, find what store it was sent to, and find the person they sold it to. I guess its possible, but not very likely.
Yea, but cant you change it somehow?
i could have sworn i saw a way to change it, either in DCv8 or PSPTool 0.9…
Use Ultimate VSHmenu. It has an option to hide your mac address for something else.
not for the 3000, faggots
Someone might bring one out for the psp3000
MAC addresses are stored on all wireless hardware in the 802.11 specification. They are unique and can ONLY be programmed once to a one-time-programmable ROM chip. They can be used to identify you, though, but generally you have nothing to worry about.
When you see that someone “changed” it, they are just modifying what the software tells you (in the PSP’s case). The MAC address identified by something like a wireless router will always be the same, unless spoofed (which can only be done on a computer, not a PSP).
actually, any piece of network hardware has a mac address, not just wireless hardware. LAN network adapters, routers, switches, WLAN cards, PSPs… you name it, if its not a network of ANY kind, it has a MAC address.
*on a network
Yes, that is also true. I have only used them for networking, nothing else really.
FUCK yes, all right
GREAT JOB MaTiAz’s !!!
Hmmm. At this rate I might have to go get a 3000. Man, if CFW is achieved on a 3000… That would be so amazing, I would totally ditch my fat! :) Naaaaaaaah. I’d still keep it, but the 3000 would be my main man :)
might as well get a psp-2 then….
Oh… Right… ^-^
how many times do i need to try and run that tiff.. i tryed it on my 88v3 for ever now. still nothing.
The guy just opened a screenshot of the exploit running on a slim
Lol when I do it on my phat it just freezes and turns off.
Wait, am I doing it right? Put the h.bin in the in PSP/PHOTO and the phat file on the root? (i got fat psp)
LOl, guyz this if for psp-3000 only so go away with your phats slims(2000) and TA-88v3’s. MaTiAz, you are teh man!
Go away with your phat/slims eh? You know wooow whats the bigg-o difference? A damn better screen and built-in microphone? woow… lol Slim rules until the psp2 comes in. Even then I doubt it’d take forever for the psp2 to play homebrew so.. Yeah Go Psp Slim! Tah hell with the 3000’s!
Just wanna let you know, I have a phat and I love it, I don’t have a psp3000…..:S
i used to love mine… till i got an iphone
Tight, sucks to have a PSP 3000 with a newer version though. I like how he just rushes to show the psp at the end.
Lol, I just hope this is for real…I love my Phat but I would get a 3000 if this is for real!
no confirmation that it works for 3000 but only 2000, 1000 an slim is different to 3000 model
I confirm it. OFW 5.02, PSP 3004 – Saw the Hello World only once and still trying to see it a second time.
Its a 3000 shown in the video. There are some differences between 2000 and 3000. like the smaller ring in the back and the home button have changed to a PS (playstation) button.
get a fuking better camera..this is embarrassing…
Video aint really bad, u can see it and thats the point. Cameras dont autofocus during videos as well as camcorders.
yeah, but would have been better with tripod or simply kept the camera fixed.
And most cameras DO autofocus =), unless it’s set to manual or it’s bit old and crummy or just has a single focus.
Can’t you hide your mac simply by erasing your psps nickname
Im trying on my 2000 Firmware 5.03TDP
But so far no luck…
Again, like many of these videos, I have see it (for real) to believe it.
Holy shit!!! I thought I perm bricked my PSP with this!!! After the photo thing loaded, my PSP shut off and it wouldn’t power on!!! It wasn’t responding!!! And I had just charged it. I plugged it back in and then turned it on and it worked fine… I thought this was the dreaded Tiff trojan that erases your flash :o
O_o that woulda sucked, some people have no lives to make something like that, I wonder how someone would go about testing an exploit like that…..without ruining multiple PSP’s.
Its called a pandoras battery…
You can always reflash after you delete flash memory. (YAY for pandora unbricking!!!!)
Lol, just make sure you have a spare battery ^0^
not really true because the psp can run on the charger alone then you just need to get the files to revert it. after the psp is turned on with the charger only you can insert the battery and do whatever you need to do to revert it
if only they could make a pandora charger that’d be funny
i have a pandora in my psp i leave it in i have a program i got off hear cant remember the name of it and i can mod on the go and then datel the ppl who make ar max have a little unet thats like 20 bucks and it runs off the power of your battery you plug in your stock battery and presto its a pandora use it as needed then plug it in agen and presto stock battery agen
like i said everything is 100 % exploitable
Remains to be seen if this can enable homebrew on the console itself in a HEN format or if can lead to kernel access and a custom firmware installation.
And last I check no one’s broken the PS3 yet to play free games like the 360 and Wii so it’s not a 100%.
My PS3 dual-boots ubuntu and the PS3 OS. I play free games on it all the time.
I’m sure it does.
I think he meant copied PS3 games. Although it could just be that nobody cares enough to do it. ;-)
wow maybe 1 year to go for 100 percent working upms for 3000
Im not dissing this at all, I cant wait for it to be hacked so that I can get one, but how dose making some words appear have anything to do with hacking the 3000, I could do the same thing myself by going into paint and typing out the same thing and when I go to photos it comes up with the same picture? whats the diffrence with this?
And that would be one way of just displaying “Hello World” on the screen lol
But if you look at the pictures included in the archive on anything but the PSP you’ll see that it is in fact a picture. And it looks nothing like the code that is run and displayed on the PSP screen ;)
This may not be kernal access or working on 3000’s yet ‘confirmed’ but it is a great step in the right direction.
Congrats to all involved :D
Sorry to ask, but what can this exploit do?
Is it the first step to develop CFW for the slim 2000?
Thanks
This just bricked my PSP-3004 !@!! Fuck you PSP-HAcks!!!
R@WR!!1!
See i can make myself appear more angry by putting in random symbols too.
I hate my psp as now its dead beacsue of you!!
no its dead because of you you pushed the buttons
Just take out your Battery and insert it again. Should work.
that was definately just a picture.
lol at all the noobs bricking their PSPs. :D
lol at ur arrogance
How exactly was that arrogance?
Yeah, I should be allowed to laugh at people who aren’t prepared. I was one of them, but now I know better, so I’m going to laugh at people who aren’t. It’s like, a Senior picking on a Freshman. You just do it because it happened to you.
look up the definition…
I don’t need to, I know exactly what it means. Arrogance: overbearing pride and/or showing feelings of unwarranted importance. That has nothing to do with laughing at people who bricked their PSPs.
Well… It’s frightening that you can’t make the connection then.
It’s frightening that you think there’s a correlation. Laughing at someone’s misfortune is neither overbearing pride nor an inflated sense of importance. Perhaps the word “noob” made you think it had a condescending tone but in this context, it’s pretty obvious it meant people new to PSP hacking. Now kindly, go sit in the corner and keep quiet. ;)
Dominated!
Well… I guess if your mind can’t make the association… there’s really no point in recapitulating.
My mind doesn’t make the association, and I’m the one that posted it… so… yeah… Who’s coming off as arrogant again?
Heh heh heh. Say what you need to help you sleep.
Saying anything doesn’t make me sleep. Lots and lots of pills do!
You’re still taking this way too seriously bud. If you bricked your PSP, sorry bro. ;) Shoulda had a Pandora on hand.
I didn’t brick it. I thought I did, but I didn’t. You know what… I give up… I’m bored. You win, I don’t care.
screw slims phat all tha WAYYYY!! psp slims are too cheap and have like a garbage feel to em at least in my opinion but if ur talking about psp2/psp4000 yea thats something worth buying probably
Does this also work on the psp 2000 with the ta-088v3 motherboard??? I’ve searched on google already but couldn’t find it anywhere…
yes it will
so is it safe to use on my psp 3000
I don’t know why exactly everyone’s so anxious to try this on their PSPs. Unless you happen to have coding/programming knowledge, it’s not like you can do anything with this exploit in it’s current state.
Im not excited with this sh!t! Same old sh!t! No CFW again! non sense! Blah blah blah! We don’t want this, we want CFW! not this kind of f*ck!
This is what will lead to CFW. You’d be amazed at what happened on 2.00 firmware before a downgrader was even mentioned.
i tried this exploit on my psp 3k and it does not work matiaz needs to specify that his is a psp slim 2k bcuz my 3k does not work with this exploit thx
does anybody know how to crack rar files i have know of brute force but that takes hundreds of years.
As far as I know, it can’t be done unless of course the file has a simple password and you can just brute it, as you mentioned. Don’t take my word on it, I’m not 100% sure but I seem to remember coming to that conclusion a few months back after searching for a way to crack a rar file.
so where is the dark alex…why there is now pandora again…why why why…?
so where is the dark alex…why there is no pandora again…why why why…? (Repeat) :D
For the people saying it is just a picture it obviously is not. Look at the pictures and you won’t see anything that looks like the screen that comes up.
For people that are saying it doesn’t work on their psps keep trying since it was already mentioned that is can take 20 tries for it to work.
“For people that are saying it doesn’t work on their psps keep trying”
Again, I have to ask why? I don’t see the point in going through the effort just for a proof of concept.
That blows i updated to 5.03 on my 3k and i tried the tiff and it just freeezes at the photo menu, i didnt read the small print sayig “3k only tested on 5.02″ blows… the damn title says 5.03 soo i figured…err uless im doing it wrong i havnt been in the homebrew gang since like 3.90 or something lol
ok good job with the exploit but why would people with a phat psp try this? there are soo many ways to hack a phat psp already
why would people waste their time with this. i think the focus should be only on the 3000.
It’s not just the 3000. It’s the new motherboard. They’re in newer 2000’s as well.
WOOOOOOOOOOOO nicE!!!! btw my psp 1000 die 2weeks ago this is a good news for me and Sony as i will buy a new psp-3000 ;p
I have tried this with my PSP Slim with the motherboard 88v3, the one that would not boot
from pandora’s battery. I downloaded OFW [5.03] From network update and deleted all images
from the memory stick, I turned the psp back to default and copied over slim.TIFF into M:/PSP/PHOTOS I took
the h.bin and placed it in the M:/ Root of the Mem stick, When you make the psp view the exploited TIFF
Image, it will freeze the screen. No controll, The image will not load but the memory stick indicator will stay l
lit. The psp makes a click sound then all lights and the screen shutdown. The psp fully shuts down, i turn it back
on and it does the sony logo. Thats about as far as I have gotten.
PSP Slim 5.03 88v3 Mobo Piano Black
The one for the 88v3 mobo hasn’t been made yet. I’ve only seen one for the phat, slim and brite (3000). There lies your problem ^^. And this version is for the psp 3000 alone! The psp 3000 has a ta-90 mobo.
hit 0 very fast when you hit x.. worked for me.
Someone found a kernel exploit using this so that means a HEN will be released and you will be able to run cfw on the new slims and the 3000. I heard the HEN is coming out soon… possibly tuesday.
Where did you hear this?
LMAO ur such a jackass stop bullshitting
No damn HEN isn’t coming out on Tuesday
Davee said hopefully on Tuesday

what a crock of $@#@
I like how the creator of this video makes everything super fast and blurry, so you can’t see squat. First sign of a fake, and the halfwits will fall for it every time.
HEN really might be released by Tuesday guys. Check out my post in Hacks, Cracks & Mods under forums.
james is right
My PSP IS a Slim 2001, 88v3 Motherboard (non-hackable due to Pandora patch) And this exploit works on it!
Just copy over what it says the Slim.TIFF to /PSP/Photo and the h.bin onto M:/ Root of your mem stick.
When you are in the psp menu click on the mem stick Icon underneith images, but! once you do that repeadedly press (circle) so it goes back out fast. This will give your psp a slight pause and bring up the “Hello World
hi sony :D ”
Works everytime when you press X on the memstick and quickly press 0 to cancel it.
This is on the what was thought to be “un-hackable Motherboard”
it worked… nice!!!
Can someone please explain what a TIFF exploit actually is? Im not exactly sure what is taking place. Is the function the same as a gamesave exploit? I just want to understand whats happening.
thanks.
wow..finally!!cant wait for the cfw!!i almost trade in my psp 3000 with psp 1000..pheww~ thank god..haha
Everybody. Check out my post in Forums > Hacks, Cracks, and Mods about HEN coming to 3000
like they said its gonna be tricky its fresh but dont get your hopes up to quick im personaly waiting and hopeing for the best but it seems sony knows what they where doin with this one so my guess is there will be a couple more road blocks
Ok This is working on my PSP 3000 I bought yesterday just fine, but damn what am I suposed to do after it goes to the hello world screen in order to get something like CFW 5 m33 on my psp?
you can’t do anything, someone has to write a program that would allow downgrading, but they’re not, they’re gonna write a program that will probably give us access to kernel mode, therefore we’ll be able to use pandora on the 3000’s. But this is only a MAYBE. Dont get your hopes up just yet.
pandora is costly, cfw is free so pandora fails
Do you know what are you saying?
Pandora didn’t cost a cent.
Pandora Batteries are fairly cheap. I bought mines for $5 bucks from this pandora something website. There also not some chinese drop deap shipping crap. They ship outta Tampa, Florida and you get your battery in 3 days.
it wont work v 5.2 psp slim
what does a pandora battery do?
