How to put your PS3 into Factory/Service Mode with an iPhone 2G, 3G & iPod Touch 1st Generation!

Step 1:

Jailbreak ur iPhone 2G/3G // iPod Touch 1G (Google for Redsn0w or PwnageTool, or BlackRa1n. Do NOT use Spirit to Jailbreak!!) [Don't know if it works above iOs 4.1!]

Step 2:

U will now see on your Springboard, "Cydia".
Open up "Cydia". First let it download all the packages!
Tap on "Search", type: "Bootlace". And Install it.

Step 3:

U will nog see on your Springboard, "Bootlace", start it up.
Now tap on, "OpeniBoot" and Install it. If it's done, tap on "iDroid" Install this too. (Can take a while!)

Step 4:

Go to "Cydia", and tap on "Search", and type: "OpenSSH", and Install this too!

Step 5:

Download at your Computer: "FileZilla FTP Client" connect ur iPhone/iPod too your Wi-Fi (Works the best).

Step 6:

SSH Into ur iPhone/iPod.
At the "Host" type the IP adress. (Settings > WiFi > Arrow next to your Wifi name.)
At "Username" type: "root" , At "Password" type: "alpine" , At "Port" type: "22".

Step 7:

Browse to "/Private/Var/iDroid" , once there u'll see a few File's.
Now drag and drop the File's what u downloaded, into the "FileZilla Client" ,

The file names are:
"Android.img.gz" and "zImage".

Step 8:

Now it's al done, close FileZilla.

Step 9:

Turn off your iPhone/iPod.

Step 10:

Put the Fat model PS3 "Off" via the Switch, for the PS3 Slim users, put the power cable out.
Connect the iPhone/iPod with the PS3 on the "Right USB Port"!
Turn the switch back "On" , PS3 Slim users, put the power cable back in.

Step 11:

Now put on your iPhone/iPod. Go to "Android" (Move it via the Power Button)
Once one "Android" , press the "Home" button on your iPhone/iPod.

Step 12:

U'll see your iPhone/iPod is loading file's..
When your iPhone/iPod says:
Waiting for Device to be ready (Or something like that)
Press on your PS3 the "Power" button, and the "Eject" button.



Now your PS3 will go On, but u will see only a Black Screen, the PS3 Turns "Off"
Just hit the "Power" button, (it takes a while when ur PS3 starts up, maybe 10/15 sec or less.)
U will now see: "Factory / Service Mode".


Now Enjoy!

Has anyone tried this yet to confirm that it works?

I'm a little confused about step 7.

It says, "Browse to "/Private/Var/iDroid" , once there u'll see a few File's.
Now drag and drop the File's what u downloaded....."

What files was I supposed to download? Is it just meaning to take the android.img.gz and the zImage out of the Idroid folder on the phone?

Lets hope they release the custom 3.41 file soon :ftw:
