To get into external type python ps3_syscon_uart_script.py /dev/ttyUSB0 CXR you should get the >$ sign now in the terminal. Now a command window should open and if you turn on your ps3 ( red lights literally just flipping switch on the back or plugging it in do not press the on button) is should show r3a:000000(means your ps3 is connected). now go to the first option on the left hand side an click on serial connection an use /dev/ttyusb0 as the connection and make sure the rate is 57600 there too and click save now click open. if it shows up at the bottom as /dev/ttyusb0 and gives the name of the device than its recognizing it.įirst we will be using external commands (you need to, to get into internal) now you dont need to use putty but if you want to, open it up and go to serial at the bottom type 57600 in for speed and leave everything else alone. now plug in the uart to usb into your usb port and type dmesg. Make sure your ps3 is OFF I mean no lights so back switch or unplug. Now this is another part that is not clarified in the instructions.
FINDING PS3 SERIAL NUMBER INSTALL
Once you have it rename it to getpip.py.1 then type getpip.py.1 in the terminal and it should install, than you can get py serial and all the rest easily once you get it all installed you can install putty as per the github instructions.
you can weget it or use curl from this link. You are going to need 3 softwares besides python 2.7( py serial,py crypto and pycrptodome) now these apparently need the pip command to install and this is where I got stuck because linux will no longer allow old versions of pip and the repository was moved. We will use python 2 in this instance because its becoming a pain in the ass because it is outdated.
FINDING PS3 SERIAL NUMBER SOFTWARE
There are 2 types of systems and this will determine which python you need ps3_syscon_uart_script.py supports old ps3s like the cok-001 (cecha01) etc and ps3_syscon_uart_script23.py supports software models like the slims. So first things first setting up the software side you can do this on windows or linux or mac ill be using linux for this tut. Have you ever wanted to know why your ps3 is ylod so you can fix it? well now you can with this simple guide here is the github repository: Īnd here is a link to the guide which I will be elaborating on some points in this thread:
