Hack your PS3 with your Android: NexusOne or Desire


Confirmed working on my N1 running CM6. It's also reported to work on Desire (Bravo) running OpenDesire 4.0.4 and possibly other HTC phones sporting the MSM72K USB controller. I'm not 100% on whether or not Cyanogen Mod 6.00 (CM6) is required, but I know your phone must be rooted. All right, lets do this:

  1. Download the package, extract it.
  2. Extract N1-CM6-PSFreedom.tar.gz and copy the contents to your SD card.
  3. Copy PS3-signed.zip and PS3-No-More-signed.zip to your SD card.
  4. Reboot into the recovery console.
  5. Create a Nandroid backup just in case.
  6. Install/flash PS3-signed.zip.
  7. Reboot your phone.
  8. Use ConnectBot or any terminal app and type:
    • cd /mnt/sdcard
    • su
    • insmod psfreedom.ko
  9. Kill the power to your PS3, switch on the back (PS3 Fat) or unplug from the wall (PS3 Slim), and connect your phone via USB.
  10. Re-enable power and press the PS3 power button followed by the eject button in quick succession.
  11. Your PS3 is now hacked! You'll see "Install Package Files" under GAME on the XMB.

To return your phone to normal just boot back to recovery and flash PS3-No-More-signed.zip. It's that easy.

Known bugs:

  • This will disable wi-fi untill the original boot.img is flashed back.
  • This will also disable USB mass storage.

Update: t4tav confirmed via the comments that this release only works on NexusOne and Desire phones. Check back later for a universal version. Also, you should know the flashable zips -- PS3-signed.zip & PS3-No-More-signed.zip -- are packaged in such a manner where an unlocked bootloader is not necessary. You still need root however.

Update: Problems with Backup Manager? Replace psfreedom.ko with this one. That should work (insmod again if needed). I just cracked open a virgin PS3, updated it to 3.41, and ripped [my own] game (Avatar, don't laugh, it's a long story, plus it's small and quick to rip) and it loads/plays no problem. Again, mad respect to everyone involved with this righteous PS3 hack.

Update: Some PSFreedom Wiki tutorials for those who know what they're doing on their Android-enabled phone.

Update: Some people have reported problems with WiFi even after flashing PS3-No-More-signed.zip. If that's the case you can restore from your Nandroid backup and everything should be returned to normal. If you didn't create a backup you can try re-flashing CM6 or whatever ROM you were originally running.

I'm gonna try it out on my HTC Magic (MyTouch 1.2) 2.2 (Cyanogen 6.0.0)

Does this work with the HTC Tatto? And how do I reboot into the recovery console?

So this should work on any android version? 1.5 and up?

Some1 already tested it on HTC Touch Diamond ( which uses the MSM72k )

my wifes dildo has a usb port on it can u guys make a hack for it? everything else has a hack....

so youre not good enough than?

Does NOT work with G1

dam what a buzz kill

I'm going to try on the RA recovery because this clocksworth isnt very good anyways.

Darn androiders come on apple port.

Won't flash install on my HTC Magic... doesn't work for me

MEH.Where's the god damn psp port? :'(

Does not work with Samsung Moment using titanium customm rom. Error installing ps3-signed.zip

How do I know if it works. I followed the instructions with my rooted eris.

Patience my Young Padawan... Patience...

How about the HTC Eris Droid? I guess I will give it a shot.

let me know if you get it to work on the eris. I'm trying the same thing.

Can't flash the ps3signed

I'm just now giving it a shot, I am sure if you already tried its not going to work.

ERIS IS A NEGATIVE :(

It does work with the G1 and many other android devices :D.Check the compatibility list and download the right kernel :P http://psfreedom.com/wiki/inde...

thanks 4 the page, I managed to find the files, but I'm not trying it yet, not sure if this will disable Wi-Fi on my Mytouch/Magic 32A

Sorry for this question, but how would i put this on the g1 phone.

why dont they use a normal hardddrive from a pc and install the code from that way wrwite windows program simliar like system restore to make it run from the harddrive it cant be that difficult??

Do i need like a root-access on the phone for this or can it work with a "untouched" phone. Have rooted my phone before and it went very bad after a few times....

your phone must be rooted for this to work

how can we know that our ps3 will not be banned?

If your worried about it then dont go online.

okey, well if it´s working on a legend i must consider it again=) will wait and see

will this be possable direct from laptop to ps3 ????

oops, didnt see in the description " the phone must be rooted" How do i know what usb controller i have on my phone? sorry for my noob questions but i really would like to get this hack and start copying ps3games from torrentsites

Anybody have any good tutorials on how to root your phone?

That's it im getting a Xbox!

http://theunlockr.com/how-tos/there you go Tim, very easy guide for all sorts of phones

Thanks you're the BEST!!!

will this work on a nokia 5800?

you gotta read dood normal usb devices cant communicate to the ps3 in the proper way thats why it has to be a hub like device

5800 has a storage device on it

Why only do mods to a cellphones and things nobody has, they are useless since everyone just wants PSP / Flash drive mod.

lol fuck apple

Yoo what up guys! I have a rooted motorola droid android phone. I need to kno if I can hack my ps3 with it!! Like idk if its only possible to hack the ps3 with "htc" android phones. Please help meeeeeeee! Thanksss =)

it works with windows mobile based phones? i own an HTC Touch 2 with Windows Mobile 6.5thx

hey man try flashing android on ur device thats what I did with my htc hd2 and now I'm dual booting windows mobile and any android rom I want !!

WHEN WILL IT BE ON AN ORDINARY USB AND NOT SOME STUPID PHONE SHIT

i agree

Never, it will never work on an ordinary memory stick. It;s either buy one of the compatible phones or wait for someone to port the exploit onto something you have.

pitty :(

can you use this with iphodriod on iphone if so please leave instructions
