You should have grafchokolos modules, and patches installed

This works on 3.55 without a fisical dongle


Downgrade Method - Emulating JIG with Linux

1st step – Generating a challenge


  1. ps3dm_usb_dongle_auth /dev/ps3dmproxy gen_challenge

2nd step – Generating a valid response for a challenge


You need a dongle id. Valid range for dongle IDs is 0×0000 – 0xffff. So choose one, doesn’t matter which one, but some are revoked !!!

  1. ps3dm_usb_dongle_auth /dev/ps3dmproxy gen_resp 0xBABE “here is a challenge like this 0xXX 0xXX … of size 20 bytes”

3rd step – Verifying response (Enabling “Product Mode”)


  1. ps3dm_usb_dongle_auth /dev/ps3dmproxy verify_resp 0xBABE

“here is the response from step 2 like this 0xXX 0xXX … of size 20 bytes”

4th step – Checking if “Product Mode” is enabled


The returned value shouldn’t be 0xff.

  1. ps3dm_um /dev/ps3dmproxy read_eprom 0x48C07

5th step - Inspect if CORE_OS_PACKAGE.pkg isn´t damaged


ps3dm_um /dev/ps3dmproxy inspect_pkg 1 0x9 CORE_OS_PACKAGE.pkg

6th step - Install CORE_OS_PACKAGE.pkg


ps3dm_um /dev/ps3dmproxy update_pkg 1 0x9 CORE_OS_PACKAGE.pkg


7th step – Disabling “Product Mode”


  1. ps3dm_um /dev/ps3dmproxy write_eprom 0x48C07 0xff


ALTERNATIVE METHOD

1st step – Enabling product mode


  1. ps3dm_um /dev/ps3dmproxy write_eprom 0x48C07 0xfe

2th step – Checking if “Product Mode” is enabled


The returned value shouldn’t be 0xff.

  1. ps3dm_um /dev/ps3dmproxy read_eprom 0x48C07

3th step - Inspect if CORE_OS_PACKAGE.pkg isn´t damaged


ps3dm_um /dev/ps3dmproxy inspect_pkg 1 0x9 CORE_OS_PACKAGE.pkg

4th step - Install CORE_OS_PACKAGE.pkg



ps3dm_um /dev/ps3dmproxy update_pkg 1 0x9 CORE_OS_PACKAGE.pkg


5th step – Disabling “Product Mode”


  1. ps3dm_um /dev/ps3dmproxy write_eprom 0x48C07 0xff
