Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew what files in 2.0/2.5 that is the security for the eboots.

like for example i can run an eboot on 1.5 but not 2.5....what file(s) are/is causing that to happen.

help would be greatly appricated

thanks!

**iball®** · 12-03-2005, 08:54 AM

Search. It's the encryption system in use and lack of kernel/user-mode exploit on 2.5.
Search.

**Nytrix** · 12-03-2005, 08:58 AM

i just want the filenames on 2.0/2.5 that are causing the eboots not to run.

like for ex loadcore.prx ...i have no idea if thats one of em.

c5cha7 · 12-03-2005, 09:02 AM

Same here

They are hard to find...
But i did manage to get 1.50 to load 1.00 EBOOT's.
But i have had no luck with 2.00 as due to i am on 2.00 :sad:
And i have erased all my firmware hack's lol.
But i am still trying to find the 2.00 Firmware dumper
(The PHOTO exploit version)

Anyway good luck.

**Tonite..You_Die** · 12-03-2005, 09:05 AM

Iball..... u must stop doing that. All this guy says search. Why do you think hes posting here? Maybe he did but didnt find anything.

Ok so anyways sorry u cant delete them even if u found the names of them because

1) u dont have acess to them

2) and if that happens ( kernal mode on 2.00 or 2.01 an 50 gets cracked )
there is BIG possiblity u will brick your psp

(unless u use a Firmware loader that loads 2.00 and ^ and loads eboots)
SXT and MPH are working on them idk how far they got....

thanks,

and thats what im trying to do it get it to work in the firmware loader and get it working and hopefully someone could help me make a 2.0 with 1.5 eboot loader and if it works i'd be willing to try and flash it to my psp.

i need a team that could help me work on it.

like we could call the team for this Project Flash...lol

well anyways.

hey and c ...can you help reinvent that with me?

i apriciate all your help so far all (execpt iball....i did search already...)

thanks

i have a working 2.00 dump if that helps and also a working 2.5 dump also...they are all in the folders too..

well hope that helps

**HotDeals** · 12-03-2005, 09:34 AM

here's some info that MIGHT help you:

in firmware 1.5, an eboot was considered valid if it only contained icon0.png and pic1.png files, and also, the psp ignored folders with the % sign, therefore letting you put a "valid" eboot in the folder with the %, and the actual data.psp file, which was renamed to eboot.pbp, put into another folder without the % sign.

this then caused the psp to read the folder with the % sign, it was read as valid, and since it had the % sign, it went to the next folder, which had the data.psp file.

I think that all you gotta do is dump the 2.0 firmware, decrypt it (use FakeUpdater), and then try to find that file the file that says a valid eboot must contain icon0.png, pic1.png, an data.psp, and then just edit the file, so it could accept eboots with only icon0.png and pic1.png

I'm not sure where the % sign is located in any of the files, all i could tell you is you're on your own with that one

**Nytrix** · 12-03-2005, 09:35 AM

thanks,
that will come in handy!

I told him to search AND included why eboots don't run on 2.5.

**TeamOverload** · 12-03-2005, 09:46 AM

but you still just say use search. he asked what files make it so that you cant run homebrew, not why? Maybe you should read the thread. for the most part you either say use search or flame, once in a while you will give a detailed answer.

**Master Inuyasha** · 12-03-2005, 09:48 AM

Nytrix, you say you have working 2.0 and 2.5 dumps? Can you like give them to me? Just use one of my instant messagers. Ive tried every dump ive come accross, and nothing works

WishboneAsh · 12-03-2005, 11:16 AM

Indeed, while you do give some very useful information at times Iball...you have a very bad habit of deliberately antagonising people.

**Nytrix** · 12-03-2005, 12:09 PM

so back on topic...

what we (me and a few other people) are trying to accomplish is getting 1.5 eboots to run on a 2.0 psp firmware by replacing some of 2.0's prx's with 1.5's so we can test it in mph/or sxt's loader.

but were not sure what prx's are the eboot loading security.
ex. 1.5 can load from the xmb...and can load kernal apps.
2.0 loads through an image hack.
we want 2.0 to load through the xmb....at least in an emulation with mph/sxt firm loader.

so i guess to sum it up i'll say what i said in the first place which was, we need the filenames that are causing this.

thanks

Don't bother, it's been tried before and will not work.

**Nytrix** · 12-03-2005, 12:33 PM

well c5cha7 got it to work with a 1.5 with 1.00 eboots..in an emu

so why not?

it's possible...just nobody had gotten it right yet..thats what i believe

Yes, what would make what he wants to happen would be a kernel-mode access exploit on 2.0 being found.

**foXtrot** · 12-03-2005, 12:34 PM

I think there is enough homebrew available on the 2.0 loader. All we are missing are the kernel mode (Wifi and loaders...) I really dont care about these things so I am happy but if kernel mode was exploited then hey try away.

no...you don't understand anything so u might as well leave this thread because you are of no help.

were trying to make a custom firmware that works on 1.5 that will load a 2.0/2.5 version with 1.5 security

iBall probably has more intelligence then about 90% of the people on these forums. (Not trying to suck up, but it's true.)

Also, there's alot more to writting a "custom firmware" then just replacing some files. I am guessing you guys are a bunch of amateurs, so it will require alot, and I mean alot of work. I do not mean to sound rude, but that's how it goes.

Just as I have stated before, this has been tried by many other real PSP hacking teams, and will not work.

**iball®** · 12-03-2005, 12:41 PM

Actually, some of the more "enterprising" pirates out there have been trying this a lot.
They get just so far, then BAM, it just dies.

Yeah but dont forget, 2.00 Has different security and encryptions. So swapping the PRX File's wont do the job (It might but i dont think so).
You really need a proper developer, You see you will need to rebuild the PRX file's if you wanna get them just right.
(Sorry but i need more experience with my Enviroment lol)

Just try this with 1.00 and 1.50 first

that will get you started.

**Nytrix** · 12-03-2005, 12:54 PM

can we load the 2.0 eboot loader while emulating?

probably but they are saying that you cant load the video AVC feature, or the web briowser. So why would the pictures load?
just my two cents.

**Nytrix** · 12-03-2005, 01:53 PM

idk...but if we could load the eboot loader then i have a good idea.
