List of files on NOR Flash (OLD/historic)

Note: this is the old table that defyboy made, a more current one with absolute values and for all firmware versions is on the Flash mainpage

The following is a list of files stored in NOR Flash

vflash partition table

Done some work on decoding region 2 today:
Region 2 seems to = vflash partition table? These might be the first 2 regions?
partition table is 4096 bytes.
Format:
16 bytes 00's
16 bytes magic: 00 00 00 00 0F AC E0 FF 00 00 00 00 DE AD FA CE
8 bytes 0x03
8 bytes 0x02 (number of paritions?)
144 bytes 00's
Partition entries:
8 bytes entry point (entry point * 0x200) relative to 0x00 on flash
8 bytes entry length (entry length * 0x200)
32 bytes 10 70 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 10 70 00 00 02 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03
96 bytes 00's

Dumping your flash

There are many ways you can dump your flash you can choose the way that best fits you, there are some persons studing the flash.. If you can help providing a dump (specially if you have a debug console) search for those persons in IRC Efnet #ps3dev

Payload

Uncomment dump_dev_flash() in graf_payloads compile and run the payload

see Graf's_PSGroove_Payload for more info

Linux

Using graf_chokolo kernel with /dev/ps3nflasha access

dd if=/dev/ps3nflasha of=NOR.BIN bs=1024

Hardware

see Hardware flashing

Dump NAND/NOR from GameOS

precompiled : dump_flash.pkg // backup/mirror: dump_flash.pkg (70.48 KB)
source: dump_flash-src.rar (2.33 KB)

Make sure USB stick is FAT32 with enough free space (16MB per NOR dump, 256MB per NAND dump)

remarks:

NAND dumps are 239MB because HV masks bootldr, see Hardware flashing #Difference between hardware dumps and software dumps
trying to read beyond 0xEFC0000-0xFFFFFFF on NAND systems (a region filled with FF's on consoles without OtherOS) results in panic

User flashdumps

Here are some samples of NOR Flash for your dissection. These are taken from different consoles (because it is useless to dump different firmware versions as ROS/RVK will be the same crossconsole)

Flash checking / extraction

Community projects

Generic Recommendations

The information in this wiki was given [freely by many volunteers] ; it would be most fair to release any program based on it, as opensource with the community accordingly (tip: public git-repo).
Please link to ps3devwiki so that others might improve the code and also know on what information it is based as well as other informative pages.
Feel free to ask questions on the talkpages when having trouble understanding mainpage or when not knowing what to check for.
Make checkers/extractors bytedirection aware and byteswap when needed
There are several flash dumptypes that can exist (besides the normal full ones):
- NAND
  - Software dump without any bootldr and with or without masking (old software flashdump and Preloader)
  - Software dump with only one bootldr (Memdump)
  - Hardware dump with both bootldr (normal full dump)
- NOR
  - Software dumps (Preloader)
  - Hardware dumps (normal full dump)
Do not take shortcuts. Make users aware if any section is not checked (yet)
Use dynamic sections whenever possible (will make it easier to port from NAND <> NOR, be more robust in checking, make it more future/history proof)
Check if data-/file-sections are uninterupted (multirepetive 00 or FF)
Check for known static values
When values are semistatic, consider checking with wildcard /range masks
Make the user aware of any anomalies (in red/bold)
Output generic information (version, console info, minver etc)
Check for downgradeability
Check statistics in range with known FW versions (3.55 is considered base on wiki unless documented)
