Hack your PlayStation 3 - Custom Firmware 3.55 Creator


If you’re following KaKaRoTo you know what’s up. The day everyone has been waiting for, is finally upon us. KaKaRoTo, has released a tool/script kit that converts a standard v3.55 Sony retail firmware PUP, into a custom firmware version. The custom firmware allows the installation of PKG files, without the need for a jailbreak.

Step by step guide to create a Custom Firmware:

1. Download ps3 utilities and ps3 tools from github / team fail0verflow: 

git clone https://github.com/kakaroto/ps3utils.git
cd ps3utils
make
cd ..
git clone git://git.fail0verflow.com/ps3tools.git
cd ps3tools
make
cp pkg unpkg ../ps3utils

2. Grab the PS3 encryption/decryption/signing keys from github: 

git clone https://github.com/kakaroto/ps3keys.git ~/.ps3

3. Download PS3 3.55 (or whatever official firmware PUP) e.g. from here

4. Extract and copy “PS3UPDAT.PUP” to the “ps3utils” directory

5. Create the PS3 Custom Firmware (CFW) from the original/official update: 

cd ps3utils
./create_cfw.sh PS3UPDAT.PUP CFW.PUP

6. Copy and rename CFW.PUP to a USB storage device keeping this directory structure in mind: /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP

7. Connect that USB device to your PS3 and install from Settings → System Update

Other things to note:

  • This CFW does not modify the kernel in any way, meaning all the current compiled homebrew out there will not install or run using “Install Package Files” from the XMB.
  • With the above point in mind you should know this CFW does not enable piracy. No piracy, no backups — straight homebrew.
  • Current PS3 homebrew and new homebrew will need to be “retail” packaged and signed; that’ll happen with fail0verflow’s tools.
  • This is only the beginning. Prepare yourself for utter and absolute awesomeness.

PS3 Recovery Menu

Depending on your situation you may need to install the CFW PUP from the PS3 Recovery Menu. To do that, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure the PS3UPDAT.PUP is in /PS3/UPDATE/ on your USB device.
  2. Power down the PS3.
  3. Now press and hold the power button, the system will startup and shutdown again.
  4. Release the power button, then press & hold power again, you’ll hear one beep followed by two consecutive beeps.
  5. Release power then follow the on-screen instructions. You’re now in the recovery menu.
  6. Connect the USB device and select “System Update.”

Congratulations:

Congratulations to KaKaRoTo!
