PSP Downgrade und Unbrick jeder PSP durch "pandora" möglich

[Takeshi]

omg was ist hier los die hammer nachricht schlecht hin und hier steht noch nix aufgepasst es ist soweit downgrade alle PSPs möglich auch in zukunft!!!!!!!

Pandora's Battery - Software to un-brick/downgrade EVERY PSP - just like Sony's JigKick!

One of the biggest if not THE BIGGEST development in the PSP hacking scene has just unfolded. A collective group of hackers including the likes of Dark_Alex, Noobz and Booster have released a new piece of software which will replicate the exact functions of Sony's Jigkick battery (even better) - that means it is now possible for homebrew enabled PSP's to UNBRICK and DOWNGRADE their systems at their own will. The respective software will transform any regular PSP battery into one which can perform all the functions of the official Sony JigKick which is used by Sony repair staff themselves. Even if your PSP is not homebrew enabled, you can just ask a friend who has a homebrew enabled PSP to run the software and transform your battery too! Read more on the software at the official release thread as launched by legendary hacker Dark_Alex HERE. Spread the word and DIGG THIS!. And on a FINAL note, while the team is a bit too proud to apply pressure for DONATIONS, just do it even if it is just a dollar - ig390@msn.com via PAYPAL (Authorized by Dark_Alex, Noobz and all on the C+D development team).

EDIT: hier die ganze story wie es dazu kamm und wie es funktioniert

Pandora's Battery

We told you that we'd be releasing an unbricker for the M33 bricks.  But then we got to thinking, maybe that just wouldn't be exciting enough.

Would you like a super special surprise bonus?  How about an unbricker for ALL PSPs?  Yep, you read that right.  We call it "Pandora's Battery".

There's a larger story behind this unbricker, though, and it deserves to be told.  It's the culmination of years of behind-the-scenes research and development by some of the top names in PSP hacking, under the name of the Prometheus project.  This group of people, from various development teams, was dedicated to developing and releasing PSP hacks and exploits, with the aim of improving the status of PSP homebrew, and making sure that it was kept alive.

For some time this project was highly successful - many releases from Noobz, C+D and others were direct results of this work.  The zenith of this success was the development of this unbricker - which required some amazing technical leaps, including:

   1. Reverse engineering of the service (unbrick) mode
   2. Development of a technique to change an ordinary battery into a service mode trigger battery (and back)
   3. Development of custom IPL code along with a technique to sign that code as authentic.

Even more impressive is that all of the above was achieved without any access to the official hardware or software.  With careful nurturing, this unbricker and custom IPL was to become the foundation of a whole new homebrew environment.

Unfortunately something happened to shatter the idyll.  Somehow, the unbricker was leaked into the wider world before it was ready to be released.  Whether this was deliberate, by one of the team members, or accidental via a security breach is still unclear.  The fact is that this unbricker appeared on the black market, being sold for huge prices.  As far as we know, it is probably very close to the same software that appears in at least some of the 'magic unbricker'/'jigkick' videos.

So, although the time was not right to release this (it would have been wise to wait at least until the PSP Slim release), our hand has been forced.  In order to prevent small fortunes being made by leeches, we are giving this unbricker away for free.  So - let it be known - if you have paid for an unbricker, then you have been ripped off.  I suggest that you take up your grievances with the seller - it should never have been sold.   And if you're unhappy about this being released before PSP Slim - then blame whoever it was that leaked or stole it.

It's unclear whether or not this is the end for the Prometheus project -  hopefully not, but that is undecided so far.  In case it is the end, it is worth a quick roll of honour. In alphabetical order:

Adrahil, Booster, Cswindle, Dark_AleX, Ditlew, Fanjita, Joek2100, Jim, Mathieulh, Nem, Psp250, Skylark, TyRaNiD.

And here are their respective C+D (Create and Destroy) nicknames.

Mathieulh = WiseFellow
Tyranid = bockscar
Fanjita = FullerMonty
Joek = CosmicOverSoul
Dark_Alex = Malyot
Chris = Caretaker
Adrahil = VoidPointer
nem = h1ckeyph0rce

Anyway - make sure to read the readme.txt in this release for how to use it, but in brief it works like this:

   1. You run a program on a homebrew-enabled PSP that will convert a standard PSP battery into a jigkick battery.  Note that you can't then use that battery normally - so you should use a spare one.
   2. You run a program to generate the unbricker memory stick image, built from the v1.5 update EBOOT (note that this, and the custom IPL, means the release is completely free of Sony copyright materials).
   3. You run some programs on a PC to install the image to your memory stick.

Now, you have a battery/memory stick pair that works just like the famous jigkick combination (but better) - just insert them into any PSP (even a brick) and the PSP will be reinstalled with the v1.5 firmware.  As far as we know, this will continue to work for all future firmwares.

Enjoy!  And remember - if you find this useful, please donate to the original developers - it's a lot cheaper than paying £1500 for it on the black market...  Donations via paypal please using this button:

Hat bei mir funktioniert ^_^

[Berny_AB]

jop bei mir auch - is echt genial!!!

bei nem Hardwarefehler oder defektem Flash bringts aber vermutlich auch nix

Frag mich nur was ich jetzt mit meinen Lumines machen soll

die sind heute gekommen 

[Takeshi]

*rofl*

[Berny_AB]

naja gut - nicht ganz richtig

die sind seit heute im Laden abholbereit

hab die ja noch nicht fix gekauft

aber ich denk ein paar werd ich schon noch an den Mann bringen

wenn jemand keine Homebrew fähige PSP zur verfüngung hat bringt ihm auch diese Pandora Baterie nix

[獅子宮]

vlt kann mal einer von euch hier rüber poste ich bin ziemlich kaput war den ganzen tag auf der GC auf der homepage ist ein easy gudie zu der batterie mit bildern einfach bissen runter scorreln ist unter der rginal news

[獅子宮]

um jungs ich lese gerade m forum bisen zum thema kick start und die schreiben das man mit der pandora methode statt downgraden einfach homebrew abspielen kann aber so richtig verstehe ich das net kann mal einer eklären was der type damit meint

Mathieulh  Mathieulh     

Yes it can, just replace the kernel by the 1.50 one (but still use flashemu and lflash_patched) and also paste vsh, dic and other flash0 folders to the root of your memory stick.

[Takeshi]

Ich versteh das so, dass man damit eine Firmware vom MemoryStick läd. Man patcht also nicht die vorhandene Firmware, sondern bootet nur ne andere, Homebrew fähige.

[獅子宮]

jojo das ist mir auch klar nur geht das wirklich das wurde mich interessieren das wäre für mich zb interessanter

[Takeshi]

Es ist ja so, dass du von der Batterie (mehr oder weniger) bootest und dann vom MS. Aktuell wird nur ein minimales System gebootet, wie auch das Recovery Menü. Man könnte aber auch sowas wie DevHook starten. Tut man das, kann man jede beliebige Firmware vom Stick starten, unabhängig vom Flash.

[獅子宮]

also ist das schon jetzt möglich oder muss noch was entwickelt werden ??

[Takeshi]

Mit der jetzigen Technik an sich sollte das schon möglich sein, es bedarf lediglich neuer Software, die die vorhandene Technik nutzt.

[Takeshi]

Also wenn ich das auf maxconsole richtig verstehe, ist das Zeug sogar von C+D geklaut, also es basiert auf der derzeitigen Technik.

[獅子宮]

omg genau das schreibe ich doch der kick starter ist geklaut und die schreiben das man das selber machen kann sprich die batterie so flaschen das die nicht downgraded sondern ne cuostume fw startet

so soll es gehen
