Grande rispetto per tutto quello che fa e ha fatto KAKAROTO e per quei pochi dev che, proprio come lui, continuano a lavorare nel open-source.

PS3ITA non si assume nessuna responsabilità per eventuali break o altri tipi di danni.
E' altamente consigliato considerare l'intero articolo solo come fonte di informazione dato che nessun utente ha mai avuto modo di testare e capirne la vera utilità.

Subito dopo l'articolo rilasciato da Kakaroto, un sviluppatore chiamato "ps3hen" (nome sicuramente preso da alcune citazioni di Kakaroto: "Homebrew ENabler for PS3") mostra ,con un video e una guida stilata da lui stesso, come avviare file PKG solo firmati su ofw 4.0 modificando il dev_flash.
La procedura segnalata prevede anche l'utilizzo dell' e3-flasher e 2 hdd per un dual-boot attivo.

Di seguito trovate la sua guida e il suo video:

procedura

Note: This modification does not allow the installation / usage of unsigned content / PS3 homebrew etc. This is purely a convenience hack and is aimed for use by those who have hardware flashers which allow dual boot.

After technodon's work creating a modified kiosk dev_flash which lets you install retail signed package files. The restrictions of having to use kiosk firmware inspired me to find a way to add "Install Package Files" for retail firmware.

This is hack does the following things:

adds "★ Install Package Files" and "★ /app_home/PS3_GAME/" to "GAME" on the XMB (allowing the user to install retail package files anytime they want)
adds other debug functions which are small but still there
does not give access to "★ Debug Setting" (reasons for this are explained below)

Installation instructions:

This installation procedure is the similar to technodon's original dev_flash hdd swap procedure

For this you will need two hard drives a e3 flasher or similar device to downgrade your PS3 (assuming that you're on firmware 4.00 and you have an e3 flasher)

-downgrade to 3.55 using the downgrade tools from e3 (Of course when downgrading to 3.55 make sure you use a different hdd than the hdd which you were using 4.00)
-once booted back into the xmb turn off the console
-swap hard drives turn on the system, press the PS button and you will be asked to reinstall the firmware
-place the pup file from the e3 downgrade tools in the normal PS3/UPDATE usb folder and follow the on-screen instructions to reinstall the firmware
-then install dev_blind.pkg & Blackb0x FTP from install packages
-run dev_blind then BlackB0x and FTP into the console
-goto /dev_blind delete everything and replace them with the customised dev_flash
-press the ps button and the console should reboot and and ask to reinstall the firmware again, switch off the console and swap the hard drive back
-turn on the console press the ps button twice
-the console should boot back into 3.55 Rogero
-goto system update and install 4.00 OFW
-once installed turn the console off again and swap hard drives back and you should boot into a modified 4.00 retail firmware.

My package includes:
My modded dev_flash
OFW 4.00 PS3UPDAT.PUP

P.S. BTW the "nas_plugin.sprx" in this dev_flash has not been altered to achieve "Install Package Files". Also for those who will analyze my modded dev_flash, you will find that I have used debug .sprx files from the a debug 4.00 pup.

P.P.S. I originally intended to get "★ Debug Settings" to work with this. But usage of "debug settings" required the ps3 to use a debug vsh.self, and that crashes the ps3 when trying to load applications (I did some other things as well to prevent the PS3 from giving me a RSOD when I swapped the vsh.self files, I'm not detailing it in public because I don't want Sony to patch it).

Lo sviluppatore "ps3hen" ha postato il tutto su ps3news.

All'utente finale che si sa cosa vuole serve a poco o sbaglio?

Serve a gran poco purtroppo , si possono installare solo pkg retail, (acquistati dallo store), e nessun homebrew..

Credo si possa saltare tutti quei procedimenti semplicemente modificando un RCO nel fw 4.00 e poi ricompattare il pup del 4.00 come fosse un 3.55..
Infine installare il PUP modificato (ovviamente bisogna essere sul fw 3.55)

[Zz_SACRO_zZ]

... e purtroppo non serve a niente. In pratica ha voluto semplicemente applicare (un pò a modo suo) solo la prima fase di sviluppo di kakaroto....non capisco perchè ha fatto tutto quel casino col e3-flasher !

[Rancid(o)]

L'e3flasher serve solo a chi è già sul fw 4.00 per tornare al 3.55..

Dicevo che si poteva semplicemente creare un PUP invece di tutto quel casino e infatti :

UPDATE
PS3Hen has released an .pup file, which makes the above process much easier, here is a quote from his post:

Before I move, on status update on getting “Debug Settings” on OFW 4.00. Its still a bit buggy, so more work needed there.

I’ve managed to put my efforts into a .pup file, which should make the installation of my mod much easier.

Also today I was on another site where user DeViL303 had released a beta of his XMB File Manager (substitute for Install Package Files, but a lot better) and DeViL303 theorized a FW 4.00 port was possible. So I took on the role on making the port for FW 4.00 and after posting it on that thread I integrated it into my firmware. So now I’ve upgraded my firmware mod and put into a .pup.

Here’s some new installation instructions(much shorter, I know isn’t great):

1/Be on a firmware 3.55 or less
2/Install the .pup through the XMB (Make sure you have a working hardware flasher as there is no other way to downgrade)

Remember only retail signed .pkg can be installed with this. Have fun.
