Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

It doesnt work with 3.42. If you listen to one comment by one guy and update you're an idiot

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

This guide covers the matter in extensive detail. So even if you’ve never ventured with your N900 before, you’ll still be able to follow.

This guide will cause Pro users to bleed from their eyes"

This guide will cover Jailbreaking your PS3 with the N900 using PSFreedom and installing and running the PSJailbreak Backup Manager(Working!!).

PSFreedom WAS NOT MADE BY ME.

Give thanks to the Maker KaKaRoto:
kakaroto.homelinux.net

Hardware you will need:
N900 (Should now work on Power and Regular Kernel)
PS3 with firmware 3.41 (I haven't tested on older)

First we need to root your N900
Via N900 Download Manager, obtain and install rootsh:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/rootsh/

Now we need to get SSH working on the n900:
Via N900 Download Manager, obtain and install OpenSSH:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/openssh/
It’ll prompt you to enter a password during install, use any password of your liking.

Connecting to your N900 via WinSCP:
Get WinSCP from:
http://winscp.net/download/winscp428setup.exe
Install it. And Launch it.

Make sure your N900 is connected to same WiFi as your PC.
Identify your N900s IP address . (You can find a nice widget for this HERE )

In WinSCP, Transfering PSFreedom:
Hostname: IP of the N900 (Example: 192.168.1.5)
Port: 22
Click login.
You’ll be promted for username and password. The username is root and the password is what you’ve entered earlier.

WinSCP will take you to the browsing panes.
Left Pane is your PC. Right Pane is your N900.
Browse to and Copy (F5) the 3 PSFreedom files from your PC to your N900s /root folder

psfreedom.ko
psfreedom-enable.sh
psfreedom-disable.sh

You can get these files by extracting the following archieves for each Kernel: (patched to work with Backup Manager!!)

How do I know which Kernel do i have?
In N900 Terminal Type:

Code:

uname -r

If it says something with "power" in it. It's Power.
2.6.28-omap1 is Regular

Driver For Stock Kernel: (Patched)
http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...7&d=1283539537

Driver .ko for Power Kernel: (Patched)
http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=13527

Now close WinSCP

On your N900, Launch Terminal.
Type:

Code:

root

Then change the scripts into executables:

Code:

chmod +x psfreedom-enable.sh

chmod +x psfreedom-disable.sh

(You will get no output for these commands)
Now run the script:

Code:

./psfreedom-enable.sh

(Nothing should happen, if you get an error: unable to insert “-”, you are running power kernel, you need to be running stock kernel or use the Power Kernel Driver)

Now. Unplug your ps3 from Power.
Connect then N900.
Plug back your PS3s power.
Click the Power button then quickly click and hold the Eject button (for maybe 7 seconds, if you hear 1 beep, let go).

How do you know you did it fast enough?
You won’t hear 2 beeps when you first hit the eject button. I prefer using both my hands

Nothing will seem to be happening. That’s fine. The n900 will show the Storage or PC Suite window. Then a warning about insufficient power.

How do you know it worked?
On the ps3, there should be a new option, under Game called: Install Packages.

Backup Manager: (Working!!)
You can get the Original Backup Manager from here:
http://www.pandawillforum.com/redire...&goto=lastpost

There is also a "Stealth" Backup Manager if you'd like to Try. (Although its effectiveness is questionable) (Read about it Here):
http://www.ps3-hacks.com/file/86

Put on a USB and plug it in to the PS3 now. An option will show to install it. Do so.
Launch the Backup Manager. Preferably with a game inside your PS3

Note: You have to have an original game (Any) inserted to load a backup at all times.

Kudos to the Creater of PSFreedom. KaKaRoto
Kudos to MohammadAG for guidance
Kudos to Hopbeat and ps3n900 for Backup Manager Patch
Kudos to the N900

Tested Working Games: (Either Personally, or Mentioned in this thread)
Virtua Fighter 5
Ridge Racer 7
GTA 4
Soul Calibur IV
Red Dead Redemption

There is a much better/fancier compatibility list HERE

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

Hello to all,
I have my n900 since Feb, there's is no doubt I've chose the right mobile phone, I love this community and I'm very proud to make part of it!!!!
Just to let you guys know I've been playing around Just Cause 2 backup on my internal HDD and is work perfect!!!!
I will try to do a Step by Step tutorial with a few screenshot so it can help out the ones that are struggling.

Thanks Corso85 and to all that make this happen.

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

thanks didn't notice that i've already downloaded the things i need. already installed everything on my phone now i just need to wait for my friend's ps3.

just wanted to ask, so everytime you need to play the games installed on the hdd you need to have your n900 connected on the unit? or once it's jailbroken it's already alright?

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

How can I update my PS3 to the last working version (Before 3.42)? I have a old version which still supports Linux.

No, not at the moment anyway, I got USA PS2 region games but can't play on my PS3 because of the Regional differences. I can play some games loading from Ext HDD though.

Yes and No all you can do is enable ./psfreedom-enable.sh and see if your N900 when connected to a computer is charging or not it should not charge also you can’t use as a Mass storage device neither...

I load mine from external HDD but not from using PSfreedom :)
ISO loader (cutscenes = slower than a slug)

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

hey about the ftp ps3 thinggy....u can view the PS3 HDD internal and stuff like that...what is the purpose of that ? i mean you can either use backupmanager to back up into Internal HDD or External HDD. so why even use ftp for ? PS3 currently no support for NTFS HDD, so what if you back up game internal HDD then use FTP PS3 to download game you backed up internal from PS3 into computer then put it in NTFS external HDD...that is the only purpose i can think of, then if u want to play your backup game you have to upload back into internal HDD useing ftp...?!!!

3. typed: chmod +x psfreedom-enable.sh
4. typed: chmod +x psfreedom-enable.sh
5. typed: ./psfreedom-enable.sh

the only thing that confuses me is that it doesn't have any feedback whther it's currently enabled or not

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

come on guys its been said time and time again. if youre going to back up a game, FOR GODS SAKE check the compatibility list first!
http://tiny.cc/psjbcl

this people replying in this thread shouldnt have to do it all for you. do some basic research, it isnt tough and in the end it will save you time.

as for the person asking about what good the ftp server does? well, for one, it allows you to transfer your backups from your internal HDD for uploading, or from your computer's HDD to your internal HDD, in case the game doesn't work on an external drive. for example, i could download darksiders on my pc, and transfer it to my internal ps3 drive, and play it, whereas it wont work on an external drive.

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

@bewrong: where did you copy your files to on your n900?

if you followed the first post TO THE LETTER (i.e. extracted the files to /root) then the commands should be:
sudo gainroot
cd /root
./psfreedom-enable.sh

there will not be ANY output whatsoever from terminal, it will just start a new line

http://a.imageshack.us/img101/2640/rootj.jpg

and after that yes it doesn't let me access the mass storage. sorry this is my first time thinkering with x-terminal and a linux based os

question: i was able to reaccess mass storage when i reseted the phone, are there any other commands to disable psfreedom without shuting the phone down?

EDIT: when i type in root at the x-terminal it generates a new line but starts with "Nokia-Nr00-02-8:~#"

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

try typing
sudo gainroot

also, to disable the jialbreak, you have to physically use it ie you must have your n900 plugged in to your ps3 and then turn it on using the described method. unless the payload is delivered, you are unable to disable the jailbreak and will get an error.

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

Hey guys I tried to Jailbreak my Ps3 with the Patched Psfreedom from the first page and i ran into issues.

Here is what saying on the screen.

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

Why isn't there any installer in the install packages?

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

hey guys,
sorry to get off topic.
but, i remember using the logan 5 tool back when sony got rid off linux support. it stopped working after a while. but after reading this thread i found out it works again. well long story short. Do any of you think we can make a version of the logan 5 tool that runs off our phone and that way we dont need have to have our computers on?

Because you probably didnt put one on a memory stick and plug it in?

Same as you can't play/back up a game unless you put a disc in. It can't magic them out of no where.

Why rush it ? They will tell (proudly) when it is ready...

I am suffering crash when I try to launch backups (fifa10,pes09). Games load perfecty and when you browse to game menu and scroll on name "fifa10" the background will change to fifa10 background. When I click game, it starts but instantly jams. I am also suffering same problem with pes09, but game starts "all black" nothing to see but I can return ps3 menu with psbutton (with fifa I cant do this, only reeboot works). Clues anyone ?

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

I put this: http://www.pandawillforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=668

Inside my USB (root of the USB)
but in Install Package files there isn't anything there.

So??? Any better tutorial?

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

no you dont need to buy a flashable usb board, xzibit.

maximmus, it doesnt matter what directory you put it in, it will be found.

@whoever was asking about logans tool on your n900: i doubt it, unless anyone can be bothered porting an exe file to a .deb package, which i find very unlikly. and i doubt anyone is going to bother coding something similar considering the n900 is such a low-demand product.

@fahadj: psgroove 1.1 is already out. i dont think it fixes the patch by sony, i think it was intended solely for developers to use to create homebrew.

alright, the psfreedom folders go on the root of the n900.. but the back up manager must be on ANY other usb flash drives, it doesnt matter where the files are just copy and phaste the manager.pkg into the flash drive and connect it to the ps3 and then youll see the backup manager under install packages..
