HELP NEEDED PLZ! ps3 hack w/ android g1 cellphone!

[carapalida]

i read that you need an android g1 rooted cell to use it with the ps3 hack.

i am wondering if you can just root the phone and use it with the stock/original firmware?

or do you have to root the phone and then install a custom firmware (like cyanogen) to use the hack?

has anyone tested the above?

thank you.

sorry for the first post... i have fixed it and made it smaller!

i have been searching on this but all i see is people using it with a rooted and a custom firmware cyanogen installed on their android cell phones.

I'll reply to ya. Yes everything says that you need the cyanogen 6.0 mod to use the hack compiled for the G1. Although you do have to have your phone rooted, I have had success running it on other custom firmwares not based on cyanogen. Here are the instructions taken from the good folks over at xda

Preliminary: Make sure you are on CyanogenMod 6.0 Final and everything is working correctly. It has been reported that it works also with older CM6 versions and CM5 too, you may try if it works and report it in this thread. If it's the first time, do a Nandroid backup before testing!
Download these files: G1-Enabler (attached) ,G1-Disabler (attached)
Put them on your SD card
Reboot into recovery and Flash Enable_PSFreedom_G1.zip
Reboot

Now psfreedom should be loaded as a module, you will see no difference, except for the loss of normal usb functions.

To run the exploit:
Make sure you are on 3.41 (DO NOT UPDATE OVER THE NETWORK!)
Connect the phone to the PS3 using usb
Turn it off completely (unplug power cable or turn off back switch on Fat models)
Plug it back in (turn on back switch)
Turn it on and immediately press the eject button (you should hear 3 quick beeps)
Booting should take a bit longer (5-10 seconds)

If you see two new options under the games tab, the exploit worked. You can now unplug the phone. Mind that you will have to do this procedure every time you boot your PS3.

If it doesn't work, try with another USB cable, it has been reported that the original data cable works best for this purpose.

To uninstall:
Boot back into recovery
Flash Disable_PSFreedom_G1.zip
Reboot
You should have usb functions back to normal.


How to change a payload:
Download and extract one of the payloads
Put it in your SD card (it could be named anyway you like, but it is usually called payload, with no extension)
Copy it to /data/local/ , make sure it is named 'payload', without quotes and any extension. To do this you could:
use a root file system explorer, such as ES file explorer or Root explorer to copy the file to /data/local, make sure it is named payload (no extensions!) OR
Use a terminal emulator and type: cp /sdcard/payload /data/local/payload (change /sdcard/payload accordingly to how you named it)
Reboot phone

How to prepare your own payloads
Get your payload in binary format. I'm not going to cover this part thoroughly, because any distribution (PSgroove, psfreedom, aerialx, hermes) does it differently, plus you can usually find the precompile payload minutes after the source is released. It is usually named port1_config_descriptor.bin or default_payload.... something like that.

If it is not a psfreedom payload:
Open it in an hex editor
Strip the first few bytes so that it starts with 00 00 00 00 00 00 FA CE B0 03
Save and name it payload (no extension)
Test it with the guide above


I am also attaching what should be the latest payload, or at least like 1 behind. If you have a newer one, just edit it with the instructions above. An alternative is to find the psfreedom recovery and then you will not have to flash back and forth between backups, but it has and probably will not be updated as the dev has reportedly received some $ony grief and has decided to stop work on it and has removed all links from his forums and whatnot (i have seen it up in some other places though).

@ songoku119 - thank you for your help!

yeah... i got it running. i went ahead and tried it anyways just using the android rooted with the stock firmware and it did not work. so i went ahead and installed cyanogem mode.

the phone aint mine... oh well! i hope this doesnt screw it up

auhauhauhauahuahuah

Well the good thing about using a modified recovery with your phone is that you can backup your current firmware, wipe the phone, install cyanogen and then install mod. Once that's done, you can back that up and just reflash your regular firmware that you use for every day. This way, you can just keep that modded firmware just for ps3 loading purposes. It's a pain in the ass and the modded psfreedom recovery is 10x easier to get back to your stock firmware with, but unfortunately if you want the latest and greatest hacks, flashing back and forth is your only option.

We're working on this right now but i am not sure what will be said so for now the current rules stand.
