PS3 Jailbreak | PS3 Mod | PS3 Hack

Thanks to Geohot, you now know how to jailbreak the PS3 (Sony Play Station 3). Geohot demoed homebrew on the PS3 just yesterday and he is already back with a full PS3 hack.

He has released a package that enables anyone to install a custom homebrew on their PS3 and also enables hot loading of game files.  It’s only for those on the 3.55 FW.

Head over to Geohot’s website and download the PS3 Jailbreaking files.

How to Hack your Symbian Phone to Directly Install Applications

If you have a Symbian OS 9.x phone, you need to sign applications and games before installing them. If you want to bypass the signing process and directly install all unsigned applications, you can hack your Symbian device using the HelloOx patch.

After installing the HelloOx patch, you can directly install all Symbian applications without signing them.

Download HelloOx 1.03 here – Download HelloOx – Symbian

Just extract all files from the zip archive and sign the HelloOX.1.03.Unsigned.sis using this tutorial – How to Sign Symbian Applications and Games

Transfer it to your phone and install it. Your phone is now hacked.

HelloOx doesn’t work with Symbian FP2 devices and the 5800. If there is some problem installing applications after installing HelloOx on your phone, sign them using either your own certificate/key or the left_up certificate and key included in the zip file using this tutorial – How to Sign Symbian Applications and Games

Symbian has had an added security measure built into OS v9.x phones which required you to sign your Symbian applications before installing them. Only applications and games from trusted developers are pre-signed so that you can install them directly. Everything else has to be signed before installation.

To start signing your Symbian OS9 applications, you first need to get a certificate for your Symbian phone and then sign it using SignSIS.

How to get a Signing Certificate for your Symbian phone

There are two ways to get a signing certificate.

cer.opda.cn

Just go to http://cer.opda.cn/en and register as a user. Enter your IMEI and you should get a certificate in 10-12 hours.

cer.s603rd.cn

Go to http://cer.s603rd.cn and enter your IMEI and the verification code in the two boxes. The certificate should be generated in 10-12 hours. Just visit the site again and enter your IMEI again to download your certificate.

How to Sign your Symbian Applications using SignSIS

Once you have your certificate, you can sign applications using the SignSIS tool.

Download SignSIS here - http://cer.opda.cn/uploads/tools/SignSISTool.zip

Extract the files from the zip archive using WinRAR or WinZip and run SignTool.exe

In the boxes with the chinese text,

#1 Browse and select the SignSIS.exe file

#2 Select the unsigned SIS file

#3 Select the .CER certificate

#4 Select the .KEY key

#5 Browse and select the unsigned SIS file but rename it to something else. This is where the signed file will be saved.

How to Mod/Hack the PS3?

As far as I know (and can search), there is no working mod or hack for the Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) which will let you play downloaded games on the PS3. Geohot (the man who first hacked the iPhone is working on it, so a working mod should probably be out soon). Check his blog for updates on the hack - GeoHot PS3

But I repeat, There is no working hack or mod available for the Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) yet. The Belzar PS3 mod chip is just a rumor. It doesn’t exist.

There is a way to download game demos from the PS3 store and install / play them on your PS3 but it no longer works.

If there is any working hack that you know of,  leave a comment. Keep checking  GeoHot PS3 and PS3 Hacks for updates on the mod.

Update: The Geohot PS3 Jailbreak hack is now available. Check out this link – Jailbreak the PS3 Using Geohot’s Hack
