PS3 Slim/Super Slim exploit leaked, could harm your PS3, hints at cool things coming soon
PSX-Place report that a work-in-progress version of the PS3Xploit has been leaked, and if you attempt to run it, it could harm your console. But the statement also indicates that good stuff is coming soon to owners of Slim and SuperSlim PS3s.
What is PS3Xploit?
A few months ago, developers esc0rtd3w et. al. released PS3Exploit, a full fledged exploit for PS3s running on the latest firmware 4.82. There was one serious limitation to the exploit though: to get the full benefits of it, with Custom firmwares and all the bells and whistles, you had to own a Phat PS3, or one of the early Slim models.
The exploit itself was also compatible with all ps3s including Slims and superSlims. Sadly, the stuff required to run a full fledged Custom Firwmare or downgrade the console, was not.
The developers had promised they were working on a lightweight solution for these “incompatible” Slim and SuperSlim models. a Homebrew ENabler, HEN, or in other words the equivalent of a Custom Firmware that is loaded in Ram and is not permanent (as in: you have to re-launch it every time you reboot the console).
Leaked PS3Xploit v3 is apparently compatible with Slim and SuperSlim PS3 Consoles
Little had surfaced on the progress on that front, until yesterday. It appears V3 of PS3Xploit has leaked, and according the folks at PSX-Place are strongly hinting that this version brings support for all PS3 models. They warn however that attempting to run the leaked version, because it is unfinished work, could permanently damage your console.
They add that it is “only a matter of days away until the real thing”.
As other scene sites have mentioned, in this context, I’d strongly advise against trying the leaked version on your console. It seems a bit of patience is what you need instead.
In related news, Esc0rtd3w has stated that in order to leverage the upcoming PS3Xploit v3, you will need to have an activated PSN account which is *not* your main PSN account. So make sure to create that if you need to!
just a quick FYI for anyone who wants to take advantage of the upcoming PS3Xploit v3 tools, you will need to have an activated PSN account that can be used and this SHOULD NOT BE your main account!

If i am on 4.81 i must update to 4.82, create a new account and activate it. Ok….
How can i activate a psn account?
Maybe they mean activated PS3 with that account? If not, someone please correct me.
First
Will this work in a similar fashion to the other exploit; just place files on a USB drive and plug it in?
Well at last a good news for ps3 super slim owners.
BTW First!!
nice
Today was it like, 3 posts already or something? This site is awesome!
Also, first
Would be nice if someone cared to elaborate why do we need second account. And why it needs to be activated. Btw, does that mean I must deactivate main and activate second? Plus would be nice to know if it’s better to use fresh account for that and could we use the exploit while using logged under that deactivated main account.
I hope full news for new version of exploit will contain answers for those *sigh*
Geez….first there’s something called common sense..
Now his hack tampers with the licenses of games that belongs to a determined user and the respective account, if the account isn’t activated in the ps3 so that content that belongs to that account can be installed and executed
the system won’t look for them.
Now as I already mentioned because you will be tampering with your account licenses Sony can detect that, and they will ban that account and possibly even the console
Now that’s why you need to have a secondary account, doesn’t matter if you created it 10 years ago or a day ago, what matters is that is an account that you won’t regret being banned
And last…I wouldn’t recommend using those games on your main account, deactivating your main isn’t necessarily because there’s no limit of active accounts
First
Well I have a bunch of random extra accounts for extra Dragon’s Dogma saves
so can u downgrade a superslim to 3.55 geohot otheros++ ?
or are there more modern otheros++ tutorials out for latest firmware ?
red ribbon dont seem like that human experience to me
No, you can’t downgrade a PS3 to a firmware lower than what came pre-installed on it.
Eventually, firmwares like rebug might be ported.
esto si son buenas noticias
Can i jailbreak my ps3 cech3004a ?
