CEX to DEX conversion tool

[Xx--AIDAN--xX]

andbey0nd has released an easy CEX to DEX conversion tool. This tool currently only works with the 16mb NOR.

To quote:

<andbey0nd> works for 16MB flash dumps (NOR) only

<andbey0nd> also if for some reason a WRONG EID key is provided - the program will abort and will not generate invalid DEX flash.. so no chance for bricking

<andbey0nd> if an output DEX flash file is created - it means that it is valid
Readme:

c2d.exe (win32 app)
===================

Requires:

* OpenSSL 1.0.1 installed in cpenssl or dpenssl ( … 1_0_1c.exe)
* EID root key (per_console_key) obtained with metldrpwn
* CEX (NOR) flash dump
* Extract c2d.rar in a local folder (c:c2d or d:c2d)

Usage:

* c2d.exe eid_key_file.bin in_cex_flash.bin out_dex_flash.bin

Output:

c:c2d> c2d.exe eid_root_key.bin flashCEX.bin flashDEX.bin

unless you have 2 3.55 ps3's, its not worth it imo - backup managers dont work for starters

easy enough tutorial to understand tho

Tutorial (not my tutorial)

Part-1 Installing Petitboot

prepared files you might/will need: http://www.mediafire.com/?ny2tj269h1tjrf3
extract the files and copy them into root of your USB drive.
i did not include metldr but you can get it here: http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/devtools/dump-metldr/metldrpwn.zip
every *pkg should beep if not repeat - only reboot.pkg will not beep.

1. Install CFW OTHEROS++ from here: http://gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/cfw/  (i picked eight size)
2. When installation is finished, reboot into Recovery Mode and choose "Restore PS3 System"
3. Run setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg
4. Reboot your PS3 (Manual reboot)
5. Store dtbImage.ps3.bin on USB drive, plug it in and run install_otheros.pkg
6. Run boot_otheros.pkg
7. Run reboot.pkg (use the package, not manual reboot!)
8. You should be in petitboot now.
9. Exit to shell
10. cd /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/
    ./create_hdd_region.sh
11. Reboot your PS3 and run reboot.pkg again.


------

Part-2 Installing Debian (Auto) requires INTERNET CONNECTION.


1. boot into petitboot
2. exit to shell 
3. cd /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/
   sh debian-installer.sh
4. select no at partition the installer will do it for you.
5. once install is done boot into petitboot and select the first option.
6. tasksel install standard
   startx


------

Part-3 metldrpwn

1. dump your nor in GameOS using this tool: http://www.mediafire.com/?vwe5oi7em54dwk9 (use memdump_0.01-FINAL.gnpdrm.pkg)
2. now you will need to unpack your nor, use norunpack 
3. open your unpacked nor folder, copy the "metldr" from "asecure_loader" folder into "metldrpwn" folder.
4. copy "metldrpwn" folder to /home/yourusername
5. start terminal
6  cd metldrpwn
   make
   sudo ./run.sh 
   cp /proc/metldrpwn/dump /home/yourusername/

7. open "dump" in hex editor
8. copy the bytes 0x00-0x0f
9. use your hex editors search function and paste the bytes(0x00-0x0f)
10. your keys will be at 0x0000C7xx (i had different offset in 2 dumps, so use search)
11. copy your keys into a new file and save as eid_root_key.bin & rename your nor dump to "CEXFLASH.bin"
12. open "PS3Tools v2.6" run cex to dex (it will error if the keys are wrong.. so nothing to worry about)
13. copy the DEXFLASH.bin to root of your USB drive. 

Part-4 write dexnor

1. boot into petitboot

2. cd /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/
   dd if=DEXFLASH.bin of=/dev/ps3nflasha bs=1024
   reboot

go into recovery mode and install dex fw

have fun with your DEX..

bleh

You dont need a flasher with doing this

Enjoy
