You can use the nandreader to hack the ps3.
Here a simple instruction set:
1) Download compiled code for pics 18F modified for USB SPI here.
2) Program the usb spi, following the following instructions Start at "Prepare TIAO 360 USB SPI Interface "
3) Download Stealth Backup Manager. MOD EDIT: Link Removed, copyright code.
4) Copy Manager.pkg corresponding to you onto an external drive. (Formatted FAT32)
5) Go to your PS3 and do a complete power cycle. (Turn off completely with switch on back.)
6) Plug in your USB SPI, turn on the switch in back.
7) Power on your PS3 and hit the eject button immediately. (This is the part most people mess up.)
8) If you did it right, you will have two folders on your XMB. One that says “Install Package Files” and another “/app_home/PS3_GAME/”.
9) Plug in your USB drive with the Manager.pkg file. You should now see it in the “Install Package Files” folder. Run it. You should now have Package Manager installed. Once installed remove the external drive.
10) Insert your original PS3 game and run Package Manager. It will ask you whether you want to load it or back it up. Back it up!
11) After a few minutes you’ll have a copy of the game showing up. Select it and it will load it to the XMB menu. Screen will go black and kick you back out to the XMB.
12) On the XMB Hit the game icon and you can now start enjoying the backup copy of your PS3 game.
The stealth backup manager uses COD Modern Warfe data I believe, so you might need to delete any games saves or data associated to the game before installing the backup manager. Please note an original game in the ps3 is always required to run a backup. It does not matter which original game.
Instructions are provided without guaranteed or warranty.
Please visit the following thread for support and information.
PS work is not mine, just providing info, thanks goes out to those people who made this possible.

2) Program the usb spi, following the following instructions Start at "Prepare TIAO 360 USB SPI Interface "
shows for 360 drive reading jtag
do you still have to go through atmel flip program to write to it. how i do i get back to writing to 360 again.
make it universal for both !
thanks
Post by: Looouky on September 07, 2010, 10:23:00 AM
Did you actually go to the instructions and read them starting at "Prepare TIAO 360 USB SPI Interface" obviously not. Oh if you want the functionality of reading the 360 nand again here are the intructions for people who can't put 2 and 2 together.
1) Downlaod PICFLASH_v3b_plus2
2) Extract Files and use the PICFLASH.hex file to program the nand reader, instead of USB SPI HAX.hex. following the following instructions Start at "Prepare TIAO 360 USB SPI Interface "
PS I am not sure if you read correctly though I am not the developer. I am just an individual providing information, but thanks for grinding me.

1) Downloaded PICFLASH_v3b_plus2
2) Extract Files and programmed the PICFLASH.hex to the usb spi
3) then i loaded the USB SPI HAX.hex and attempted to flash over the original picflash.hex when i did this errors came up and i chose cancel (used picflashes settings)
THATS IT!

I am also planning on testing to see if it can be flashed back for NAND dumping.
Please PM me for a status update.

right now i have the nand x from team xecuter, i will probably just buy the spi flasher from XS Filter - 062508 - filtered.s to support them and that way i dont have to go flashing my programmer back and forth

i don't think the nand-x works for this, I am not sure what components it uses so I can't say for sure. Yes it has to be plugged in to the usb port at all times.

can't say for sure unless you tell me the mcu on it, but i think it is doubtful.
Just to let everyone know, the spi has to be built according to the following schematics. Most are made like this. I think nand-x and maximus are the exception. I could be wrong though, from there speed I have a hard time believing they are based on pic. Another thing to note is that those two products were commercially manufactured which means their code can not be change, unless xecuter and maximums built-in a means for the end user's to update the device, which is very unlikely.

your best to build one then, they are only about 12 pounds to build if that you will need programmer as well, which will be cheap.
Here is what you need to build one:
Tut.
PCB layout image 1.
PCB layout image 2. ensure for the jumper one pin is connected to ground, and one to pin 17.
Programmer Layout.
Ignore everything in the red box, for the programmer schematic.

The way I'm gonna do it is by just flicking the eletrical plug switch on and off. But of course if you have a bunch of devices hooked up then you're out of luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

found in the zip file of 1.2, i'll link it again for you. Here.
can't say for sure unless you tell me the mcu on it, but i think it is doubtful.
Just to let everyone know, the spi has to be built according to the following schematics. Most are made like this. I think nand-x and maximus are the exception. I could be wrong though, from there speed I have a hard time believing they are based on pic. Another thing to note is that those two products were commercially manufactured which means their code can not be change, unless xecuter and maximums built-in a means for the end user's to update the device, which is very unlikely.
Thanks for the infor
I updated some Chip pics here, if you could have a look that will be great
http://www.sendspace.com/file/6vik70
Also the Maximum 360 Nand Flasher chip says: LPC2146FBD64
SUO251.1
No idea what does this mean. if anybody could assist, i'd very much appreciate it. thank you

wich are the differences between the hex of the first post (link) and the groopic hex v1.2??
Should I re-flash the pic in order to update with groopic v1.2 hex? Wich are the advantages?
I'm using 18f2455 with the first hex and it works.
Where can I insert a led?
I think that I have to put the led between pin 22 and 19(GND).
If I use groopic v1.2 hex, should I put a led between pin 26 and GND (I found it in the groopic blog)?
Thanks

Load HEX file
Then, click "Program Device" button:
An error will show up and you click cancel, that is it.
If you download the following file, there is a readme. The readme has the basic instructions laid out for you as well, if you want to confirm the steps. You can also use the 12mhz file included in this zip rather then the one rickjames mention, the only difference is who compiled it.
The steps are really easy, I can't be more descriptive than the wiki or the readme.
The usb you bought I don't think is fresh, I believe the bootloader is already on it so it would be useless to you.

Does the latest PSGroove Pic 1.2 boot the PS3 to debug mode 100% of the time (Assuming you get the power on and eject timing right) using the 360's spi reader \ flasher?
For me, it works 100% of the time. I've built and tested 15 units and all of them worked on the first boot attempt. You just have to hit the eject button as soon as you hit the power button.

Isn't 12.hex files the same? the dimensions are equal.
Maybe the file in the v2.1 package cannot be flash by USB? should I use the pic programmer?

I try 12.hex file of the package PSGrooPIC-V1.2b1-PIC18F2455.zip with the first post bootloader but it doesn't work.
Maybe the 12.hex of the package PSGrooPIC-V1.2b1-Bootloader-PIC18F2455.zip is different...I will try with this.

Cold solder joint is when you solder two points together but the connection is too weak for a signal to pass through.Think of it like a car not starting because the battery terminals are not tight enough, so you tighten them and your car starts.
What i suggest is get yourself some flux and put a tiny bit on each end of that wire, then melt some solder onto each end.Then touch each end to pins 17 and 19 and put some solder on your iron tip and touch the tip to the pins.You should get a good connection that way.Try not to touch the iron there for more then a second or two, or you risk damage to the chip.
And yes as far as i can tell those pins are correct.

2) The drivers need to be installed with the jumper set.
3) How_to_JTAG_XBOX_360_Using_TIAO_USB_SPI_Interface wiki, it show how to install the drivers, it has to be manually done.
Like in the image below.

They keep changing the led in every version, so I would just avoid it.
here is a new 1.3 with stuff for you since, they call it crazy led.
http://psx-scene.com/forums/attachment.php...mp;d=1284135620
ps I am not sure if this one is compiled for spi yet, you could give it a try.
LVL2 Peek/Poke commands are allowed (aka the geohot stuff). Change for 1.3.
Seems you also might want to reset the fuses in the bootloader.
QUOTE
w00t. looks like i figured out my LED issue. the bootloader. appearantly the bootloader you flash needs to have the NOMCL and NOLVP fuses set as flashing the psgroopic hex over USB it doesn't matter what the fuses are if the bootloader is wrong.

If yes then you have to use the last hex of metalphreak i have posted.
The led works (pin 22 -> 19).

There is zero chance of this being possible. The jailbreak device isn't a usb flash drive, it's a usb microcontroller programmed with the jailbreak software.

Or can I go on and just flash using pdfusb.exe, the 12mhz crystal as long as thats the one that my board specifies when I receive it in the next few days.
Another question is it ok, to leave it plugged into the ps3 all of the time, will it cause damage leaving it plugged in? That may have been a stupid question, But I am definitely going to internalize this and then see about where to put the led to indicate that it is working. Thanks guys, Just asking all of these questions that way when I receive this I can just go and get it done.
By the way right now I'm running psgroove through my Evo, But its not very convenient so I am definitely looking forward to getting my chip in the mail.
. Then after that theres only one more thing to wait for Ubuntu Linux and XBMC Then My dreams will be fullfilled

I don't see a problem with leaving the device connected since it's a bus-powered device anyway. Once you turn off the PS3, then it will cut the power to the device.

Just to let everyone know who has XBOX 360 USB SPI NAND READER with the 12Mhz crystal,
You can use the nandreader to hack the ps3.
Here a simple instruction set:
1) Download compiled code for pics 18F modified for USB SPI here.
2) Program the usb spi, following the following instructions Start at "Prepare TIAO 360 USB SPI Interface "
3) Download Stealth Backup Manager.
4) Copy Manager.pkg corresponding to you onto an external drive. (Formatted FAT32)
5) Go to your PS3 and do a complete power cycle. (Turn off completely with switch on back.)
6) Plug in your USB SPI, turn on the switch in back.
7) Power on your PS3 and hit the eject button immediately. (This is the part most people mess up.)
8) If you did it right, you will have two folders on your XMB. One that says “Install Package Files” and another “/app_home/PS3_GAME/”.
9) Plug in your USB drive with the Manager.pkg file. You should now see it in the “Install Package Files” folder. Run it. You should now have Package Manager installed. Once installed remove the external drive.
10) Insert your original PS3 game and run Package Manager. It will ask you whether you want to load it or back it up. Back it up!
11) After a few minutes you’ll have a copy of the game showing up. Select it and it will load it to the XMB menu. Screen will go black and kick you back out to the XMB.
12) On the XMB Hit the game icon and you can now start enjoying the backup copy of your PS3 game.
The stealth backup manager uses COD Modern Warfe data I believe, so you might need to delete any games saves or data associated to the game before installing the backup manager. Please note an original game in the ps3 is always required to run a backup. It does not matter which original game.
Instructions are provided without guaranteed or warranty.
Please visit the following thread for support and information.
PS work is not mine, just providing info, thanks goes out to those people who made this possible.

Make sure your PS3 is on firmware 3.41 or it will hang.

I just purchased the "Mini USB Development Board - PIC 18F2455" from DIYGADGET from the link below:
http://www.diygadget...ic-18f2455.html
Now i assume when i receive the board, i just need to jumper the device (would a hard drive jumper work) and then install the appropriate firmware for the board with psgroove, as it already has it's own bootloader preinstalled?
Once this is done i should be able to plug the device into my PS3 and it should be jailbroken?
The reason why i ask is because i see alot of members posting pics of schematics and i hope theres no wires or soldering involve when i receive?
Thanks in advice!

A hard drive jumper would work, but the device already comes with its own jumper (which is the same as what a hard drive jumper would be). You can see it at the top of the picture above the microchip and to the right of the crystal (the silver oval). You'll be able to program the device over USB and won't need a separate programmer since the bootloader is already installed, and you won't have to do any soldering, but you'll have to provide your own mini USB cable. After programming it with the appropriate psgroove .hex, then you'll move the bootloader jumper so that it operates in its regular mode and then follow the normal jailbreak procedure (unplug power from back of PS3, plug jailbreak device into USB port, plug power back in, power on PS3 and quickly hit eject button).

After ordering from diygadget, you will get an email from pleasedonotreply@trackmypak.com with the shipping information. Trackmypak is a third party site, so you might have ignored it. As for the shipping, the free shipping is through Canada Post. In other words, the post office. If you're in the US, it will take 5-10 days to reach you. You can go to trackmypak's website and put in your information (email and when you ordered) and they'll resend their email to you. As for where diygadget is located, during the ordering process, it said that TIAO was located in Toronto. Paying with paypal, the recipient was listed as TIAO. On the trackmypak, TIAO was also listed as the seller. Could be owner, parent company, or whatever. They're also the name printed on the boards.

I just ordered one of these boards from DIY as well. Is there a thread here with the exact instructions with how to program it to work including which PSPgroove hex file to use? I'm kind of a simpleton when it comes to this stuff. Also how do I know which pins I need to jumper, etc?

I wrote a tutorial which you can download from here.
In the tutorial, there is a download link for the flashing software.
For the HEX file, get the updated v1.2b1 from here. When you flash, choose the 12MHz.hex file instead of USB SPI HAX.hex.
For those of you in the USA who would like to receive your board faster, order it from xb0x-experts.

Did you already solder wires to the pads? Does the dented programmer work at least?

This is what the shipper told me.
amyno: "Buyer purchased one on May 1, 2010. Ordered another one last week and received it rather quickly. On his initial email, about the defective product, he was asked for pictures to show USPS about the shipping damage. He agreed to take pics so that I can file a complaint with the post office. Later on, posted this picture: http://img443.images...clintharper.jpg and said that
[1:08pm] amyno: the USB post looked like it was stepped on. Judging from this picture, does it look like stepping on this board would cause a sharp dent on a USB port, about 1cm by 1cm? I can guarantee you this would break off the board. Then later, when asked again, stated that the shipping container (the usps flat rate priority box) was fine and that the damage occurred before shipping. Also, looking at
[1:08pm] amyno: the pic, you can see the extent of the damage on the USB port. If you received something like this, would you not notice the damage, just leave it as is, and then email us first? This guy just accepted the damage, soldered the wires, hooked it up, and then complains that it does not work. Basically, what he did is purchase one before, it was damaged it up, ordered another one, and now is
[1:08pm] amyno: blaming us for it. There is no way anyone not notice that USB port being damaged that badly, especially when it was packaged by hand. If it somehow was damaged, the receiver would notice this and bring it up to our attention. His story does not add up at all. Board was fine before it was shipped, fine during shipping, as stated by him that he box was not damaged."

You should have received an email telling your order was shipped, however, yes, there is no tracking number, but you have nothing to worry about that at all. Check you spam folder, also we update paypal status as well.
Regarding the ticket, can you tell me your ticker number? We check the ticket daily between 6-8AM EST (except weekends/holidays), so I don't think we would let a ticket stay in open status for more than 48 hours in weekdays. But, please tell me your ticket number so I can check it for you.
Where are you located? If you are not in USA or CANADA, in order to have a tracking number the cost is additional $60. (by air).
Usually to UK is even faster than to any Canadian locations, We have customers in UK usually get their item in 2-3 days. To US is usually around 4-5 days, but it is not always the case, so to be on the safe side, we always tell customers to wait 5-10 business days.

Hello xbox360player.
thanks for clearing up any doubts.

Still i'm cool with it and i like diygadget (will order more spi jtags , hoping i get the first one fine
)And thanks for the coupon code. it helped.
I'll recommend diygadget to anyone looking to buy ps3 modchip related boards. they shipped mine out within 24 hours of ordering
.One request, i wish you guys accepted credit cards (without paypal). Paypal accounts aren't usable here and i had to transfer money to a friend's bank, and then he ordered via paypal for me, so i was limited to few orders caz of funds in his paypal.

Thank you
Hi I just saw this morning that there is a new feature that people with teensy boards can use, The peek & poke & start of cfw (loading a update from usb stick) The files are there to download for at90usbkey,s that calculator & Teensy boards, Im just wondering if theres any possibilty of the hex file for the spi nand flasher being updated to incoperate this? I dont know if the spi flasher has a limitation to what it can do, It would just be nice to have this feature as i sold my teensy board yesterday ( I knew something would happen where you need a better supported chipset or whatever)
.Thanks

I wanted something to keep the chip safe from damage so I used one of those food containers thats too small for anything useful.
I put a hole in it and used some foam sticky tape to hold it down.

I thought about that but I wanted to be able to see the light too. The picture may not truly show it but that container is very small. You might be able to put 10 m&m's in it.
hey,
what kind packaging did you receive the SPI Jtag from courier?
and
how many lights does this SPI JTAG have? does it show the status green when jtag is successful or it only has the main power LED?
i ordered same SPI JTAG, so just wondering
Post by: breathofice on September 18, 2010, 08:07:00 PM
its all good im not bashing on what you did just offering a suggestion. If you drilled a hold in a altoids can and used double sided tape so the light shined through the hole. if you want it to be air tight you could put clear packing tape over the hole or hot glue

Ps this is the cechl01 model i took the while thing apart it took me forever to figure out how to take the mother board out then afterwards I realized I didn't even have to remove the motherboard:) anyways I had to redo the thermal compound because of that hope I did it right:) used the good stuff arctic silver5.

In the faq it says 1.3 has lv2 the latest psgroove with peek and poke. I'm using the 1.3 led crazy one that was provided in this thread for now, I tried searching for another one that was a little bit more up to date, and the one I found was illness but his didnt work with pdfusb so I opted not to use it.
Dude Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure its safe to flash whatever hex on here as long as its not a boot hex. there is a separate hex for the bootloader, so you should be safe. Just choose cancel when you get an error with the program, that you get from the link for the tutorial in the op of this forum.
Program should say flash successful if it worked. If you use the hex I used in this thread, use pins 19 and 22 on the pic chip for the xbox 360 spi jtag. If you don't know what those pins are just go on google images and punch in the pic18f2455 and look at the diagrams.
Also I bought my chip from DIYGadget it was free shipping no tracking Number, but it came packaged up perfectly nothing was damaged, and came within 5-10 buisness days as promised, I got it the 7th buisness day.

reflash the original hex for the taio. Once this is back on select the new hex you want on their and when the yes/no/cancel box pops up click cancel. You want to use the settings allready on the chip.

This will need work for sure. Reminds me of the drivers for the PSP, some games will need a certain one, and some will need a dvd. Either way its safe to update Backup Manager, and the payload and just use a disc for the ones that do not load the other way around.

Yes it has peek n poke 100% sure as I just did a LV2 dump to test. And I just keep two backup loaders the PS3hax stealth one and the patched one that launches games from the loader instead of the XMB. The stealth one while useless as we can't go online has a different title ID so it doesn't install over the other one. And to all who care yes this new loader doesn't support all games but it does function like the old one as well so long as you have a disc inside so you won't lose any compatibility you just have to load with a disc inside the drive for certain games.
Ok, so if I do use the new Backup Mananger and hermes new hex, I can retain compatibility by simply having a blue ray in the drive.
I'm also confused.....do games still go into GAMEZ on the root of the USB? Keep a disc in to retain 100% compat?
I still need to go into backup manager to get the game to later show up in XMB.

I think you flash the main.hex found in the "PIC18f2455 12MHZ BOOTLOADER B5" folder in the pack lew000 linked to.
Then install manager2.pkg found at PSGroove.com via flash drive.
From what i have read compatibility is the same as the previous backup manager as long as you have an original in the BR drive.
I'm still waiting for my diygadget board...i ordered it last Saturday and it still hasnt arrived, and i live in canada. Why it takes over 5 business days to get from ontario to bc is way beyond me, they should atleast offer express post!

PS3Key is releasing the same stuff. thats why they thanked Hermes in their release notes.
And they mentioned with the update that if a game doesn't load without disc, then try inserting an original disk.
Herme's update is a good step forward
but so far its incomplete and i'm sticking with BakcupManager 1.0. (caz if i've to insert the original disc for some games with Hermes' payload, why not let the original disc inside all the time *like i currently do*, and play with the full backupManager1.0 compatibility). less headace ;p

At first I tried exactly as said and chose "no" during the flashing process. I got the same error, "Unknown device connected"
Second time I reflashed and hit "cancel". I'm still getting the same error.
Both times the light remains red on the microchip. I've gotten the payload to work with my droid so I'm pretty sure my timing isn't off when it comes to powering up the ps3.
Can someone please guide me as what to do next? Did I disable the development board by hitting "no" during the flashing process?

Post by: Jericho4171 on October 05, 2010, 07:49:00 PM
As for the " Unknown Device connected" message on your ps3, is install package and app/home still showing up? With Waninkoko's payload (psgroopic 1.6x), the device (in this case, the 360 usb spi jtag board) turns off after the payload is delivered and an error message (can't remember which) pops up on your ps3 over and over again until you unplug the board. Also, you did remember to move the jumper out of bootloader mode, right?

The red light is on but I guess it just stays on in this case.
So I should not be too worried about the bootloader then? I don't want the chip to stop working down the road due to this stupid mistake.
so you hit cancel when flash and then set back the jumper from bootloader mode???

First time I flashed I hit "no". It didn't work.

So then I connected the device to my computer, connected the jumper, disconnected the jumper, and tried it again (by connecting to the ps3).
It worked first try. I'm not sure why but it works now and I'm happy!
If I wanted to update all I would have to do is put the jumper back on and reflash correct?

if you flash a hex to your board and the bootloader does not have its config bits locked, you will brick the board if your settings do not match.
it is also possible for my releases to brick your board but i leave that up to you to figure out beforehand. users using the picdem bootloader flashing over usb will never brick their boards with my hexes as long as they hit cancel when loading the hex.
just an FYI.

lew000, the manufacturers instructions are pretty clear.
TIAO WIKI
Go down to "Prepare TIAO 360 USB SPI Interface" and instead of the "PICFLASH_v3b_plus2" hex, you use the psgroopic hex and you hit cancel at the prompt since these hex files aren't tailor made ONLY for our boards. Stop when the guide mentions "NANDPro2d" and it's ready to go. For updating, put it back in bootloader mode and flash it like the first time. The program will erase and reflash the board.

but everything on ps3 currently seems chaotic trying to fallow a post gets to be a pain
is there a simple precompiled way to flash the pic i have read many forums and posts and have 20 dif compiles from all over the net
seems it would be a little less chaotic usually scenes are a little more structured
I imagine its caused by way to many devices used to run the hack

It's full of extremely useful information and all the hexes you could need that are compatible with the 360 USB SPI board. The latest hexes are 1.7a and 1.6c, both of which are posted there.
hmmmmmmmmm?
ive always flashed the pic psgroove to my nandflasher with a pic18f2550 chip...
always worked like a charm with no difficulties,or is it for another board in combination with the pic?

if you click on the illness link from the two posts ahead. I believe its the hermes v4b 3.41 usb hid hex that you want to flash. Theres like two of those I believe or maybe three, just try flashing one then plugging it in and see if it works if it don't then flash the next.
But, you might not have overwrote your bootloader, cause I've hit no before and it never did. chances are what you flashed had a compatible boot loader. So if your not getting an error and it says flash complete or doesnt say anything you should be good. Just try another hex dude!
you should be able to flash the original using a programmer which you would either have to make if possible or buy.... but if your gonna do that I would contact diy and see if you send them yours back if they can send ya another, and just be honest about your screw up I'm sure they'll work with ya
Seriously be honest because he'll know your not hes on this thread from time to time...

PICDEM USB Bootloader
and
USBHID Bootloader
People who are using the Xbox 360 USB SPI sold by DIY.....they are USBHID Bootloader users, correct?
Where does PICDEM come into the fray?

I have this one, and the USBHID didn't work for me but the PICDEM did:

Came to the same conclusion after the USBHID didn't work for me either. PICDEM it is.

I have a PIC18F2455 I set it to bootloader mode and flashed it with PICFLASH.hex
Then I loaded the LEDB145C0-1-iLLNESS-PL3-276-default_pl-753eade44e2eb9fcf2a5-PICDEM.hex found here. http://psx-scene.com...6946-post2.html There were a lot of hex files in the rar so I picked the first one that said default.
When I loaded it I got the error message and hit cancel. Then programed the device.
Then I unpluged it swiched it out of bootloader mode and plugged it in the Playstation. Powered it up and hit eject immediatly. Nothing but black screne.
Any thoughts?

Wrong hex file, DTR1. That one is for firmware 2.76. For 3.15, you'll want LEDB145C0-1-iLLNESS-PL3-315-default_pl-753eade44e2eb9fcf2a5-PICDEM.hex
That was it. Thanks. I was not associating the numbers with the firmware that I am running.
