REBUG: Booting 100% DEBUG on RETAIL Consoles

[GaryOPA]

We all know how wonderful the REBUG firmwares have been from the Codename: REBUG team, which allows PS3 Jailbreakable users to access some of the Debug features on their Retail PS3 Consoles!

But their current releases are not 100%, the CoreOS is still CEX, well here at PS3Crunch we have been in touch with the team recently, discussing what their future plans are, and today CyberSkunk send us a short video showing the next evolution in their custom firmware releases!

In this video you can see the PS3 first booting and then BEEPING.

* This is normal, if someone installs an full official DEBUG PUP via Service Mode on a Retail Console.

Next you see Cyber booting on his PS3 using a USB Jailbreak Dongle!

* This time the PS3 boots-up and is a fully 100% DEBUG firmware, no crashing or beeping, loads right into the XMB!

This is all possible by the Codename: REBUG team developing their own "custom payload" loaded for usage on the old v3.41 Jailbreak dongles!

Hey Gary,

The vid we sent you uses a dongle to boot the DEX COREOS on retail console as we thought that to be more conclusive since you can mimic the DEX XMB quite easily..

We can however boot it without the dongle but before everyone gets excited being able to boot the DEX COREOS and getting all of its functions up and running without rehashing (converting) your console are two completely different problems.

Cheers Mate..

As you can see from the note they send us, it is still in the testing stage, but our valued Crunching members will be the first to know when they are ready to release it! -- And for all those out there that claimed this would be impossible! -- A big F-U!

Always stay tuned to PS3Crunch for the very latest in Earth-Crunching-News!

This is what I have been waiting for.
Go Team Rebug! You guys are Awesome!

[Ploggy]

Are there any benefits to having a debug for end users or is this aimed towards developers ?

[butnut]

If we were able to run debug firmware we wouldn't need CFW.

What happens if you QAflag a debug console?

[babykane]

Can't waiting for this awesome payload.

Great work guys!!! Props for sure.

was not expecting that video XD was expecting another :P

anyway big ups team rebug

i know that this doesn't need to be here, cause noobs here are like NONE but i ll post it anyway.

Rebug's objective since the beginning is having a full debug firmware running on a retail console.
with that said we have lately been having rebug firmware running a complete retail firmware modified in order to have access to debug menu.
Rebug has now accomplished the use of debug firmwares in this case 3.41 to boot on retail machines, using a modified payload

about running 3.70 games--> NO
about a new custom firmware higher than 3.55 ---> NO

About running dex firmwares higher than 3.56+ on retail machines not possible the pup had to be modified, if you would install it wouldn't boot with the machine crazy beeping and no image.
well this might be bypassed using an hardware flasher, but it is yet to see

to answer butnut you can qa flag a debug machine as far as i know...
yes we wouldn't need a custom firmware if we had debug firmwares, but you wouldn't run backups either :P

[v0d]

are the lv1 repository nodes unlocked with this or is the only diffrence that they use lv2kernel from DEX?

[butnut]

...yes we wouldn't need a custom firmware if we had debug firmwares, but you wouldn't run backups either :P

Debug firmwares can run backups. What they can't run, is BLU-RAY movies.

[Pockets69]

i mean backups from the hdd you would need to patch lv1 and lv2 in order to have peek and poke.
