3.11 pwned! Decrypter out now!

Sony: Firmware 3.11 out now!
Homebrew Scene: Oh really? What now?
Sony: Why are you not upgrading yet?
Homebrew Scene: Because we are going to crack it, noob!

And indeed, firmware 3.11 has been cracked. Well, not fully but it has been decrypted. After all, this is always the first step. What's more amazing is that, Team C+D didn't even have to come up with a new program. The same decrypter that was used for 3.10 was found to be working as well for the new firmware.

But for the benefit of those who missed the fun the last time around, we listed again the things you need to do. But on second thought, who could have missed it? Because we're telling you, we wouldn't miss it for the world. Anyway, enough chatter, here's the step by step process:

To dump the firmware open up the Eboot with psp brew or PBP unpacker
Extract the DATA.PSAR to the root of your memory stick.
Copy psar_dump2 and psar_dump2% to your GAME150 folder. (Or whatever you kernel is set to)
Launch it from the game menu.
Select what option you wish to have. Then it will dump the contents to the root of your memory stick.

Re: hmmmm (Unregistered) - 2007-02-08

» well

does any1 else besides me get the feeling that sony hasn't really been bothering to even try blocking hb lately? I mean, 2.01 came out like 5 days after 2.00 Downgrader was released by MPH, and here sony hasn't even come out with any real valid fixes since 3.00

...or is it just getting harder and harder for them to find and patch the exploits?

Re: benjio (Unregistered) - 2007-02-08

» come on!

The exact same decrypter was used on 3.11 as 3.10. No change whatsoever. And all that changed to decrypt 3.10 was a simple hex key change from 3.03. Do you all honestly think $ony is actually trying here?

Its a company's job to make money, why tell them to stop? They lose money on every PSP and PS3 sale, and Nintendo makes money on every sale. I suggest you tell Nintendo to stop making money if you are going to tell anyone..

Really do you want Sony to come up with a new encryption method and a way to slow down the super talented hackers. Not that I don't believe they wouldn't be able to do it but if this site would just lay low and eat a little humble pie maybe Sony would back off. Gloating like this just doesn't do anyone any good.

Great Job Team C + D!

Oh sony, f*s comeon, why do you keep releasing firmwares, without new features, and a maximum of 2 bugfixes at the time??
Not even a non-homebrew user would mind spending 20mb to download a firmware that contains, well, here it is:
SONY PSP FIRMWARE 3.11
whats changed since 3.10, list:
ONE bugfix that has already been solved in 3.10 OE-A'
... AND THE BEST OF ALL --- NOTHING ELSE.

SONY, simply dont continue to release these crapy firmwares, without any new features.
It makes the PSP realy unworthy, and just a tool wich can be used to ONLY UPDATING, wich sony recommends...

enough said

and by the end of next week, we will have a 3.12 OE-A

kariw/e ,
how would you like to buy a game, and notice it would freeze all the time. Wouldn't you want sony to release a bugfix for your just bought game, or would you still say:
ah sony *****off with your small updates !

Re: karivika (Unregistered) - 2007-02-09

» .... reply

It was only a bugfix for one or two games, wich crashed, but Dark_AleX has already fixed that in 3.10 OE-A'
that makes Dark_AleX and the whole homebrew community bigger than sony.

Re: incromatical (Unregistered) - 2007-02-09

» ...

why are you *****s always thinking that you are better than sony?? sony's the one that is releasing the firmwares !!! Not Dark Alex!! He is just coding to add extra features like homebrew and cracks for cheap ass holes! So....
how is the homebrew community better than sony , when sony was the one to make the XMB firmware in the first place? cause u guys can play all the latest illegal isos when the company suffers?
if the company and the developers dont develop games than we dont have great games!!!!

So...
stop thinking u r better than sony just because we can hack it... i mean, do u think sony is actualy trying?

by Default_13 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-08

» strange

hey doesn't anybody find it strange that they released a firmware with one fix, and It's is able to be downgraded by the old app. for 3.10. I think Sony is purposely doing it because on 3.10 you can no longer use an app. to change your xmb icons you can only hex edit and not everybody knows how to do that. I think Sony is slowly but surely stopping home brew. Just a thought...

Re: .. (Unregistered) - 2007-02-08

or maybe they feel for the people who bought that game that the fix is for ?

by zerojay (Unregistered) - 2007-02-08

» Morons...

Sony released this to fix a problem that was found with R-Types (a game available on the Playstation Store) on 3.10. That's it. That's all.

Sony honestly does not give a ***** about people with hacked firmwares. They don't care about homebrew stuff. There are only two things they care about - protecting the average user from running a malicious program that simply erases the flash and leaves them with a brick and protecting their licensees from having their games pirated. Both of them make sense. So really, all this "OMG, SONY PWND AGAIN" ***** is completely retarded.

This site is nothing but 10 year old children, I swear.

Re: SyntheticChaos - 2007-02-08

» No There is More...

Re: Default_13 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-08

» Pirating

Home brew actually gives you the ability to pirate games, so technically every time some one gains the ability to have home brew Sony potentially loses money. So now, how exactly is home brew of no concern to them???

Re: mushroom (Unregistered) - 2007-02-08

» They're just R3TARDS

I couldn't have put it better myself. Personally, I love all the mature 'Sony pwned' comments. They really add some much needed intelligence to the site. Without Sony they wouldn't even have a PSP, the knobs. I suggest they keep their comments to theirselves and stick to playing the one string banjo in your room in their mothers' house.
(p.s. those marks which look like dismembered smiley faces are actually punctuation.)

» Morons, Part 2

Default_13, you just proved my last line right.

Re: TiM (Unregistered) - 2007-02-08

» Wow

Finally, someone else who gets it!

I'm sure Sony care a little bit, but I love how everyone here really thinks they are totally hacking Sony to bits.

Sony couldn't care less about a small minority of users such as D_A etc. There's always going to be things like that.

If it wasn't software downgradeable/hackable, there'd be modchips.

Would you all be falling over each other as much then? I don't think so.

Well said ZeroJay.

Re: Me (Unregistered) - 2007-02-09

» 311.pbp

It's not actually very surprising that a 311.pbp renamed to 310.pbp would show up as invalid in the upgrader. D_A (and other non-stupid developers) would surely *at least* check the hash of an eboot before flashing it.

» Now sony won't be adding new features?

Let's see... in last few weeks Sony released 3 new versions... what did they have new ?... YES EXACTLY!! NOTHING AT ALL!!! Now Sony focuses on making new encryption method and tries to stop something unstoppable... Dark_Alex and Team C+D will always decrypt latest firmware, if they won't then Noobz will, there are a lot of talented programmers, they are good at it and they are doing it for free!! It's like charity :> but i got off topic a bit.

No matter the firmware, someone will crack it sooner or later.
If sony just let it go... i mean why do they keep updating flaws in their PSP when every one is cracked ?

by aliasneo - 2007-02-08

» Not exactly "pwned"

If it can be decrypted using the same decryptor, then it seems that Sony didnt even attempt to add new security features.

I know its highly unlikely, but maybe Sony's beginning to accept the homebrew scene for what it is. Or maybe Sony fixed the bug there was on one of their ps1 games which is also a good thing because it shows that Sony cares about fixing up and adding new features as opposed to trying to stop homebrew.

Step by steps and detailed walkthroughs appreciated. URL's to these and/or DL programs that might even do it for me would be great.

I UGed to 3.1 before I knew about the 3.03 DGer. My bad I know, but i also didnt have GTA:LCS so was it so bad. After seeing the DGer I kicked myself then got on e-bay and found the 2.00 Version of GTA needed. As soon as I receive it, I will have the "Gloden Ticket". Until then I will sit on my 3.1 and just have to wait till the next DGer comes out, hopfully. But Live and learn. One day I too will enjoy the world of homebrew, but not today.
