Goofy exploit by Noobz - Hello World on firmwares 2.0-3.03! *with video* |
Listed in: Firmware, Hacks & Exploits, News, Homebrew Demos Tags: Fanjita, Mathieulh, Noobz, psp firmware, Sony
Ó
Just a little while back, Fanjita wrote a small article on what the people with non-homebrew-able PSPs should do. In my opinion, waiting for an exploit was the most sensible thing to do. And boy, you guys didn't have to wait very long! The Noobz team has just come out with an exploit that works on all firmwares up to 3.03, which is the latest firmware Sony has been able to come up with! This means that every firmware available currently is hackable and hopefully, downgradeable soon!
As of now, the only homebrew that runs through the exploit is a simple Hello World proof of concept, but we all know what the PSP scene can come up with in a very short while. And that's exactly what's gonna happen since Fanjita himself said that a 3.03 Downgrader will be coming soon!
Here's what Fanjita had to say:
You remember that the only thing holding us back from a downgrader for v3.03 was the lack of a user-mode exploit?
Well, we don't like to be held back from anything, so we went back to basics and looked over some of the old exploits. And what do you know? We found one! We did a little digging into the old GTA exploit, and discovered that it hadn't been properly patched after all.
We'll leave it as an exercise for the interested reader to figure out exactly how we got past the patch (and to give Sony a little while longer before the head-slapping "Doh!" moment :P)
I did have a talk with Fanjita and what surprised me the most was that "the only reason it took so long to find is that no-one thought they'd fix it so *badly*"! The most important question right now would be the availability kernel mode, and in Fanjita's own words, "It's a bit tricky, but yes, the kernel mode hole found by Team C+D still works from the Goofy exploit." The downgrader will use this to perform its magic.
The only catch is that you need an unpatched GTA:LCS UMD. Yes GTA Liberty City Stories, NOT Vice City Stories! The new UMDs being sold in shops are already patched, so you'll be better off finding a used one or asking your friends if they have one.
Here's the usage instructions:
- You need an original, unpatched GTA:LCS game. The new copies that you find in the shops now will not work.
- This only works for Liberty City Stories, not Vice City Stories.
- Extract the files from the ZIP into the /PSP/SAVEDATA folder on your memory stick.
- Start the GTA game, and enjoy the feeling of freshly-minted homebrew :D
UPDATE: Now we're sure all of you have been itching to give this exploit a try. Sadly, not everyone is fortunate enough to have the unpatched GTA: LCS UMD needed. Thanks to brandon6199 we can all have a look at "how this exploit works and what it looks like" (his very words).

Now how long is going to take to have a proper "Downgrade Guide" and the require files? I mean the way it works is that it needs to go back to 1.50 before going to 3.03 OE-Ax. Right?
By the way... how about a torrent GTA?
And better yet will this exploit pave the way to another non-UMD downgraders? I mean the UMD is the first step then it could be possible to make a more elaborate exploit off the Memory St*****. Right?
peace

Eh. It's Sony's own fault for locking down homebrew; if HB was *only* unable to access the UMD drive, rather than being fully crippled, you wouldn't have the smart fellows in the scene hacking at the kernel.
They'd be writing homebrew instead.

"We'll leave it as an exercise for the interested reader to figure out exactly how we got past the patch (and to give Sony a little while longer before the head-slapping "Doh!" moment :P)"
When he said "we got past the patch", I believe his team has found a hole in the patched gta-lcs. they r not ready 2 release dis xploit tat can use patched lsc to run hb. my best guess tat they probably found the same xploit works in vice city stories.

never got out of 2.6 anyway, then I had 2,71 SE-B'' until today 3.03 OE-C owns!

Not another downgrader >:(
That only means more ppl not buying psp games, which will probably result in the death of the psp1.
[sarcasm]Great job guys, really[/sarcasm]
It's their own darn faults for updating in the first place. Now a new era of newbs are gonna flood the forums with the same questions that have been being answered for ages now. NOOOOO
I hope another Sony update is in the works.
And F*** the person who posts after me telling me to STFU.

The firmware patch, made by Sony and present in 2.70+ firmwares, was flawed, and that's what we exploited.
The game patch, made by Rockstar and present in the newer UMDs, is different in nature and much more comprehensive. It cannot be exploited in this way.
Reply
Just because we might not get a new release of homebrew every single f****** minute, it doesn't mean that the scene is dead. There are so much great things already released for the Psp ffs. The scene is alive and always will be.
I am glad to hear about this old/new exploit and I still have the unpatched GTA UMD. Nice work people!!

I've never owned a psp that doesn't have homebrew compatible firmware so I know what it's capable of. But that doesn't matter, the main reason ppl are happy is b/c now they can play ISOs. Are you telling me you only play homebrew games? And roms are illegal too so that doesn't count.

it just makes you think; is sony even trying anymore?

This is so frickin cool... im 3.01 ta-082... so it sux. basically i had 2.80 while kriek had just cum out then i bought thrillville and was so excited about that game i had to upgrade to 2.81. once 3.00 came out i was like, what the heck? i cant run homebrew anyways.
now i just have to find someone that has GTA:LCS and wait for an easy 3.03-2.71 downgrader...
but im still pretty excited, ill just keep looking

1. libtiff is not coded by sony so you can hardly say they are stupid, do your research first.
2. the second libtif exploit is not related to the Bits Per sample overflow in the first exploit.
3. I Challenge you to write a program without a buffer overflow in it.
4. kxploit is not going to work in 3.03 unless you use the 1.5 kernel (loadcore.prx and loadexec.prx to be exact).

so many good uses of hombrew, cant wait to get my friend downgraded, the psp has little use without the snes emulator etc, which in my understanding is ok to have roms if we own the original carts right, something about fair use. actually to be fair the psp has little use over all, looking forward to some palm one keyboard stuff though.
and no i havent read the 300 something comments if fair use was mentioned there, i'm a lazy arse.
piracy is for the skint or/and greedy, support your game developers. if somethings worth having, its worth buying.

why do you think ps3 is open to homebrew if it hurts them that much i doubt they would open the ps3 to homebrew.
so think about it before you start chatting ***** about how this is going to ruin the psp
the noobz guys work hard for us they dont get payed for it, its their hobby and if wasnt for them most of you wouldnt be in the "plentifull of homebrew" position you are.

2nd if Sony 'dies' it means no more psp, no more ps1, no more ps2, no more ps3, etc...
so tell me why does Sony have to 'die'???
Reply
2nd why does everyone keep saying Sony got owned, Sony got raped / Sony got f*cked, etc....
I believe you all have a PSP... which exists thanks to SONY... and how can you rape or f*ck a company???
3rd of course it's great you can play free games, homebrew games, do a lot of cool stuff with your psp, etc... but I think everyone (including me) should buy time to time games... Everyone wants to get paid for their hard work... no one wants to works for free...
I wonder if you guys do a lot of hard work and don't get paid for what you would do... I would be pretty angry too...
it's like some people said before... if no one buys, they won't make it anymore... because in this world it's all about profit... no profit means not to bother anymore to make new games...

and wha dose this thing do anyway all i saw was a dude play GTA and go to a flame screen

In my original statement about the PSP going downhill I said, "I'm not saying it's Sony's fault." You are. "Omg Sony did this, they did that, they didn't protect their hardware." No *****, sherlock? You're basically blaming Sony for such a high price and piracy, like they made people download ISO's instead of buying games.
You stated, "Why play portable games when you have a computer or home console." Um... This is where you begin to get retarded. You answered your own question in the sentence. "Portable." Not "Home console or PC." And sorry killer, but I doubt very, VERY much people only play video games 1-2 hours a week. I'd go as far to say that you have a better chance of being hit by a train completely made of cow *****, then people playing video games 1-2 hours a week. Did you even think about anyone else besides what you just assumed was the correct response?
Then you go on to basically say, "I can't live without my iPod." That's just one more portable device that you use, isn't it? Sure it's no Playstation Portable, but you rely on it for something to have, listen to, something to do during the day. Same with the Playstation Portable. It's fun being on boring car rides, flights, situations that you normally would be in with no PSP, and even sometimes just at your house, and be able to play PSP, as opposed to Not having one.
And to the rest of you who posted your comments about the homebrew is only 5%-10%, hate to break it to you, but Err. I could tell the people that are saying, "NO WAY LAWLS." are the very same people that have a 3.03 and wish this downgrader would come out.

and I respect your opinion, but I think it's lame from you to insult a lot of people for no obious reason...
BTW what's wrong with commercial games??? It that not what game consoles are ment to be???
since you own a PSP, even if you bought it cheap, and you only use it 2 hours a month, I think it makes you as big of an idiot as I am...
