SC EEPROM

Most of the information we have about the sc eeprom comes from graf_chokolo reverse engineering of the HV see Hypervisor Reverse Engineering

Here is where system flags, tokens and hashes are stored.

Right now most of the comunication we have with the sc eeprom is through linux using graf_chokolo ps3dm-utils and/or using his payloads.

Important Offsets

EEPROM Offset Table - Flags and Tokens

Here is the table of EEPROM offsets that can be accessed through Update Manager (3.15):

Offset	Size	Description
0x48C06	1	FSELF Control Flag
0x48C07	1	Product Mode (UM allows to read this offset, it can be also written but only when already in product mode)
0x48C0A	1	QA Flag
0x48C13	1	Device Type
0x48C42	1	HDD Copy Mode
0x48C50	0x10	Debug Support Flag
0x48C60	1	Update Status
0x48C61	1	Recover Mode Flag
0x48D3E	0x50	QA Token (UM doesn't allow access to this offset but SC Manager can read/write it)

In a standard mostly untouched ps3 the common value for this flags is 0xFF wich means not active To change this to an active status you have to write 0x00 to turn on the flag

Debug support flag is tied to EID which is supposed to be hashed and saves in SC EEPROM

QA flag is tied to QA token that is also saved in this part of the SC EEPROM

System Data From EEPROM

Here is the list of possible EEPROM offsets:

Index	SC EEPROM Offset	Size Of Data	Description
0	0x48D20	6	?
1	0x48D28	6	?
2	0x48D30	6	?
3	0x48D38	6	?
4	0x48D00	4	?
5	0x48D04	4	?
6	0x48D08	4	?

Dumpable EPROM Offset - Block ID and Block Offset Mapping Table (NVS Service)

Right now we only have read access to some portions of the eeprom to have access to this regions DM needs to be patched, see section dumping eeprom

EPROM Offset	Block ID	Block Offset	Description
0x48000 - 0x480FF	0x00	0x48000 - 0x480FF	?
0x48800 - 0x488FF	0x01	0x48800 - 0x488FF	?
0x48C00 - 0x48CFF	0x02	0x48C00 - 0x48CFF	Contains flags and tokens/ see above
0x48D00 - 0x48DFF	0x03	0x48D00 - 0x48DFF	System Data Region
0x2F00 - 0x2FFF	0x10	0x2F00 - 0x2FFF	?
0x3000 - 0x30FF	0x20	0x3000 - 0x30FF	?
All other offsets	Invalid	Invalid	?

Dumping your SC EEPROM

Linux

First you need graf_chokolo kernel ps3dm-utils and linux_hv_scripts.

If you are ready.

Patch DM using linux_hv_scripts

dmpatch.sh

Read the data from the region you want for example (see tables above)

ps3dm_scm /dev/ps3dmproxy 0x48000 0xFF

You can see some coolstuff that containing dumps

Hashes

Where exactly the hashes are stored is still a secret, it is said that those hashes are stored in SC EEPROM

To retrive the information about the packages you have installed you can also use ps3d_utils

Linux

Installed Package info

ps3dm_um /dev/ps3dmproxy get_pkg_info TYPE

Examples

get_pkg_info 1 - Core OS package

	
		0003004100000000

get_pkg_info 2 - Revoke List for program

	
		0003004100000000

		deadbeaffacebabe

get_pkg_info 5

		deadbeaffacebabe

get_pkg_info 6 - Firmware Package

		0003005000000000

You can find more information about this in Hypervisor Reverse Engineering

Hashes

What algorithm is used and what exactly is hashed is still unknown

ps3dm_scm /dev/ps3dmproxy get_region_data ID

This hashes are checked by lv1 to make sure that the data has not been altered throgh scm_get_region_data: get_result: ret[X]: 0x%x
