Team Noobz may have a solution to un-brick corrupt firmware from 'disreputable piracy site'

[Zeus]

Team Noobz have revealed that they believe they may have found a way to un-brick PSPs which were caused by a delibarately broken version of the M33 custom firmware as posted on a 'disreputable piracy site' Noobz say a solution should be ready very soon but a release date is not definite just yet.



There's been a bit of a storm recently, with an awful lot of people's PSPs being bricked by a broken version of the latest M33 custom firmware, deliberately distributed by a certain disreputable piracy site. Here's my take on the whole situation, and maybe a ray of hope for those people who have bricked.

First off, let's talk about that ray of hope. We've been looking at the M33 code, and trying to understand exactly how these bricks have come about. The good news is that we think there may be a way to undo the bricking process in this case - in other words, we hope to be able to develop a way to fix those bricks in the near future. At this time, this is just for the M33 bricks. I can't predict exactly when this might be ready (it should be very soon), but maybe it will save some of you the hassle and expense of sending your PSP off to be repaired.

uhhhh M-33 allready made an unbricker for this problem........ just read the readme that is with 3.52M33-4......... :P




As for yankee paranoids, a little word about the "brickers" issue. We repeat it again: THERE IS NO MALICIOUS CODE inside M33.
Some of the files of this update are protected by encryption schemes to protect ourselves from that page that annoys homebrew developers.
The keys for the decryption: the own update file. So if the file is changed, the decrypted data is not the original one, and this causes the
wrong data to be written. There is no way you can call this malicious code asthere is no explicit code to brick nothing, it is the corruption of the update what actually causes the bad decrypted data to be written.

Anyways in this update we check if decrypted data is wrong and in that case we write a recoverywarning the user what happened. It will activate usb, and it will allow you to execute a recovery
eboot.pbp... in a curious path ("ms0:/PSP/GAME/PS NEWS_ARE_STEALERS_I_AM_NOT_GONNA_VISIT_THEM/EBOOT.PBP") which is not at sight of an hex editor

If you visited ps3news and bricked in last release, then blame his administrator. He is the one that modified the files and had them in the server for lots of hours knowing the consequences.

As this person doesn't care about publishing homebrew coders personal info because he thinks he's funny and hursh doing that, we dont think he will mind either that we "leak" his data After all is nformation that can be obtained publically.

:D

But that was for version 4. The bricking the happened in version 3 is the one Team Noobz are trying to fix.

cool haha, so true :D

[Grapsyc]

Would the powers of Fanjita and Team Noobz be able to create an unbricker for someone like me who got bricked during a corrupt flash1? My PSP still turns on, and the screen stays on, but there's no response. I can't access recovery.

Lets hope that all those followers of a dangling carrot dont go against team noobz for helping out the INNOCENT :rolleyes:

[XxPS2MANxX]

if you were dumb enough to not respect the scene and be brainwashed by that retard and his site, then you deserve the brick you got.

This is the one time where somthing should NOT be done IMO
