PS3 Jailbreak - Discussion Thread

Damage Inc Pacific Squadron WWII EBOOT fix released for 3.55. Shitty release, I know. But this is also the first game to get an EBOOT fix, which requires 4.11 as it's base firmware. Ray of hope? Perhaps.

Ah good that we had a bump for this thread. I had almost forgot to post an update for the dead CFW progress. It seems there's a new kid in town and the name is 3key PS3 ODD Emulator.

Here's the low down on it:
#1 – The team for now is only releasing one picture regarding 3KEY, but are hoping for an ‘end of the year’ release.
#2 – It is full hardware interface, not some crappy reDRM dongle, that means it will work on OFW no need to be stuck on CFW v3.55.
#3 – It will be complete ODD Blu-Ray emulator, allowing even the feature to rip your original PS3 game discs to your external HDD.
#4 – Due to the nature of design, you will be required to open your PS3 to install it, but I been told NO SOLDERING is needed.
#5 – More info will be release later, but for now any more pictures and videos are PRIVATE and been shown only to trusted long-time resellers.

General tech info about 3key

The 3k3y hardware device is an advanced Optical Disc Drive (ODD) emulator, it does not rely on any software based hacks to operate (once the drive key is known).
The device is connected on the SATA (PATA) bus in the PS3, like this; cable from PS3 goes into 3key, cable to BD drive goes out from 3k3y, in other words 3k3y physically sits between the drive and the PS3 mainboard and offers USB 2.0 port to connect hard drive(s). Games residing on the connected hard drive(s) can be selected using a small remote display with buttons (as seen in the photo linked a few posts up reading “PS3″ in white characters on the display).
For the PS3 this device appears as a legit BD drive, and replies to any ATA protocol requests/commands the same way the original drive does. The BD drive key which is unique in each PS3 makes it possible for 3k3y to decrypt/encrypt data on the fly and redirect SATA traffic originally on disc media from the hard drive connected via USB 2.0 instead. No original Blu-ray disc needs to be inserted for operation, you can use this without any disc in the drive.
Again, this makes it possible to use any official firmware (XMB) version you want after installation (and key retrieval). No need for software hacks like CFW or DEX to make this work at all. If the original game requires firmware (XMB) 4.25, then go ahead and update, just like you would if the system was completely original (virgin).

Functionality:

3k3y is an optical disk drive emulator for the Playstation 3 video game console.
It is installed between the genuine Bluray drive and the PS3 motherboard.
Once 3k3y is successfully installed and configured it can be used to make backups of your original PS3 game disks to USB media, and play those backups from USB media without the need of the original game disk.
Several games can be backed up to a single USB media, making it ideal as a ‘jukebox’ for hardcore gamers as well as for families with children too young to handle bluray discs with appropriate care.
3k3y works with most PS3 models, however there are a few exceptions, most notably the new super slim model and all PS3s which comes with firmware 4.xx (after retrieving the drive key the PS3 can be upgraded to any firmware). We are working to add support for these PS3′s but you are adviced to consult with your reseller if you are in doubt whether your PS3 is compatible with 3k3y or not.

This is the real deal guys. But don't jump the gun just yet. There are a couple of bricks happening right now. Be patient and wait till it stabilizes.

Read up on forums which cater to PS3 custom firmwares. Just like the previous custom firmware, this too has it's share of bricks at the moment. There are a good rate of success as well. Better not risk anything at the moment.

The only downside to this custom firmware is that it needs the base firmware to be 3.55 to be upgraded to the CFW one. So anyone with 3.56+ OFW are out of luck.

I'm with Aman on this one. For the people on 3.55 CFW, there is no immediate need to update it, unless you don't like the patching EBOOTS. Also, multiMan is the only homebrew app at the moment, which is functioning on 4.21 firmware. So no PSN games or other apps will carry over from the previous CFW. They will need to be re-signed with the new keys.

Yes, followed the thread on PS3 modding forums. Folks are waiting for smoke to settle. Anyway, if all keys are dumped (I am assuming lv0 too), what is stopping the developers from creating a CFW which does not require CFW 3.55 (similiar to kmeaw's which allowed anybody =< OFW 3.55 to install CFW)?
 
i request some of you guys may prepare noob guide for new comers...those who are going to buy PS3...
all this discussion looks rocket science to me...
