3.55 Custom Firmware With Lv2 Modification To Allow Peek And Poke


Rejoice backup lovers out there, we all knew netkas and flukes1 were working on patching lv2 to allow peek and poke, but recent developments made us fear some bad stuff since some ps3 got bricked, it was rumored that the patch to lv2 would be released yesterday, it didn�t, it got released today:


Netkas and flukes1 have successfully managed to patch the lv2_kernel in 3.55 to allow peek poke.

README

Patch to add peek and poke syscalls to PS3 firmware 3.55
by flukes1 and netkas (irc.efnet.net #ps3test)

To create the patched PS3UPDAT.PUP:
1. Use bspatch to apply PS3UPDAT.PUP.bsdiff to Sony�s official 3.55 PUP, which is available from their website.
2. Run this from command line : � bspatch PS3UPDAT.PUP PS3UPDAT-NEW.PUP PS3UPDAT.PUP.bsdiff �
2. Ensure that the md5sum of the resulting PS3UPDAT.PUP is 337831fac6a9b05074f73710c4bb7c86

Simply install the patched PS3UPDAT.PUP onto your PS3, then install geohot�s jailbreak.

Our PUP can be installed over any firmware version, including 3.55-geohot. If you install over 3.55-geohot, you must reinstall geohot�s jailbreak afterwards.

For developers: peek is syscall 6, poke is syscall 7 (same as PL3 dev payload)



So guys there you have the thing you all be waiting for, note that backup managers won�t automatically run using this, some backup managers need to have some mods done by their creators in order to work, but this will certainly open a lot of doors even for other tools that also require peek and poke.
