  • Posted in Brewology, PS3 | 4 Comments »

    PS3 Toolset (aka bgtoolset) has been updated by bguerville to support all PS3 firmware versions OFW/HFW/CEX/DEX/PEX from 4.75 to 4.91.

    This software works directly on the PS3 Internet browser and offers a complete collection of tools to patch the flash memory of PS3 systems to allow Custom Firmware installation without having to downgrade to 3.55, among other features.

    You can check it out at https://ps3toolset.com. Use at your own risk, as always.

    Update: There is an issue with SSL certificates on the server that is preventing the access from PS3. There is a temporary bgtoolset access workaround tutorial to bypass this error.

    NOTE: The alternative self-hosted method using PS3Xploit Flash Writer can be used on HFW 4.90 or 4.91. Users with lower firmware version have to update to HFW 4.90 or 4.91 to use the PS3Xploit Flash Writer 4.90 / 4.91.

    WARNING: Avoid the unofficial clones of bgtoolset. They are based on an obsolete and incomplete dump of the tool obtained without consent of the authors. These unofficial tools have a very high risk of cause permanent damage to your PS3 console.

    Changes in PS3 Toolset Update v1.2.007 – 17/03/2024

  • 4.91 firmware support was added
  • Custom syscalls type detection was fixed
  • idps/psid is now hidden by default in system manager
  • A few minor fixes were applied as well.
  • A few changes were also made to the server. Please report if you get unexpected access problems.

    Changes in PS3 Toolset Update v1.2.006

  • Added 4.90 CEX/PEX support
  • Added 4.89 PEX support
  • Added 4.78 CEX support
  • Added 4.76 CEX support
  • Added 4.75 CEX support
  • The File Manager and the xRegistry Editor feature will be enabled in a next roll out!

  • Changes in PS3 Toolset 1.2.004:
    Userland Memory Manager v1.2

  • added memory patching preset options for HAN & Debug pkg
  • added memory patching through prepared files (using JSON syntax)
  • added memory dumping options per executable file segments or through ranges
  • added testing for unallocated memory before reading any offset to avoid potential crashes, in a next update UME Strict mode will be removed entirely

    System Manager Manager v1.3.1

  • added System Information details and options to save that data to file
  • added syscon error logs
  • added a new patch file download feature to avoid using the limited browser file download feature.
  • added 4.89 patching support

    JS Xploit Framework update v4.2

  • hooked all existing VSH exports available, the entire range of them is available from js without needing to use offsets
  • fixed the crashes on page load with certain setups
  • many other changes & improvements, the list is too long to enumerate
  • A more comprehensive update enabling the file manager is currently being worked on and will be rolled out in due time, no ETA as always.

    With the recent release of OFW 4.88, and seeing that no CFW 4.88 has come out in these last days, PS3 developer Evilnat decided to make a new update of his CFW with a number of new options like an added File manager, Option to toggle Cobra debug/normal versions, disable CFW syscalls, block PSN login if CFW syscalls are enabled and several fixes and improvements.

    Cobra 8.3 is added from Github repository and it is enabled by default
    XAI Plugin is added from Github repository and it is enabled by default

    It has been tested for a long time since Evilnat was developing 4.87.3, it took months of research, developing and tests and a few weeks for 4.88. No bugs have been found, but if there are any, feel free to let him know and Evilnat will fix it as soon as possible.

    To avoid issues, make sure you have the latest version of your favorite homebrews like, webMAN MOD, ManaGunZ, multiMAN, Movian, etc…​
