HOW TO: Jailbreak PS3 Running 3.55 Firmware

Two days ago we have showed you a video presenting the jailbreak for PlayStation 3 (PS3), this jailbreak is a shared success between fail0verflow team and Geohot, after that I have been asked a lot about the full step by step guide to jailbreak PS3 using Geohot method.

How To: Jailbreak PS3 on 3.55 only

STEP 1: Plug a USB stick into your computer

STEP 2: Create a folder in the root of the USB stick called PS3

STEP 3: Create a folder inside the PS3 folder called UPDATE

STEP 4: Download http://geohot.com/jailbreak.zip

STEP 5: Unzip Jailbreak.zip to PS3UPDAT.PUP

STEP 6: Move PS3UPDAT.PUP to the directory UPDATE that you just created on the USB stick

STEP 7: Plug the USB stick into your PS3

STEP 8: Navigate to Settings Tab

STEP 9: Choose System Update

STEP 10: Choose Update via Storage Media

STEP 11: It will say it found Version 3.55-jb

STEP 12: Choose OK

STEP 13: Accept Conditions and Install Update

STEP 14: After less than a minute, your PS3 will update, beep 4 times then shut down.

STEP 15: Power up your PS3 (You will have to do it on the console and not by the controller)

STEP 16: Your PS3 is now jailbroken!

How To: Install Packages

STEP 1: Plug your USB stick into your computer

STEP 2: Drop http://geohot.com/test.pkg into the root of the USB stick

STEP 3: Plug your USB stick into your PS3

STEP 4: Navigate to the Game Tab

STEP 5: Choose Install Package Files

STEP 6: Select the test.pkg

STEP 7: After it installs you will find the test package from geohot installed below the Install Package Files folder

STEP 8: Wait for more packages to be created by the PS3 community

Note: With the above geohot's PS3 jailbreak guide, you won't be able to play backup games or pirated games or whatever you choose to call them. You can install packages with the provided installer. More packages will be coming from the PS3 jailbreak community in the coming weeks and months. [via StealthBravo]

Geohot Sued Over PlayStation 3 Jailbreak by Sony

Geohot (famous hacker) and team members of fail0verflow who last week hacked and released the Sony’s Play Station 3 is being sued by Sony. Last week Geohot released video showing jailbroken PS 3 running on 3.55 running Homebrew and then he released the tool to jailbreak it. Here is the snippet from the case filed.

Defendants George Hotz, “Bushing,” Hector Cantero, Sven Peter and “Segher” (collectively, “Defendants”) are computer hackers. Working individually and in concert with one another, Defendants recently bypassed effective technological protection measures (“TPMs”) employed by plaintiff Sony Computer Entertainment America LLP (“SCEA”) in its proprietary PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system (“PS3 System”). Through the Internet, Defendants are distributing software, tools and instructions (collectively, “Circumvention Devices”) that circumvent the TPMs in the PS3 System and facilitate the counterfeiting of video games. Already, pirated video games are being packaged and distributed with these circumvention devices. Declaration of Ryan T. Bricker In Support of Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order And Order To Show Cause Re Preliminary Injunction; Order for Impoundment (“Bricker Decl.”) ¶2, Exh. A. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 and Local Rules 65-1 and 7-10, SCEA moves ex parte to put an immediate halt to the ongoing distribution of these illegal Circumvention Devices and avoid irreparable harm to SCEA and to other video game software developers stemming from video game piracy.
