Revision as of 23:29, 25 August 2011

Typical Flash TSOP package found on PS3's can either be 2x128mb NAND or 1x16mb NOR

This is my attempt at documenting the files located and stored on flash. Please do note that this is from reverse engineering several flash dumps, not from reverse engineering the PS3 firmware itself. This involves alot of guesswork and may not be accurate and there may be information missing.

Structure

0x0 > 0x400 = Headers

0x400 > 0x800 = File table

0x800 > 0xF00000 = Region 1

- 0x800 > 0x2F000 = asecure_loader region

- - 0x840 > 0xF110 = metldr

0xF00000 > 0xFFFFFF = region 2

- unknown format

First Region

Header

First 512 Bytes of flash

0x30	0x1D0	0x0	Blank/Unknown

Unknown Header

The next block of 512 bytes only has the first 16 bytes written. Unsure exactly what this means.

File Table

The next 1024 bytes contain the file entry table

Header

Small 16 byte header to describe length and entry count

First is a header, this tells us how many files are stored here.

Entry Table

Then follows a 32 byte entry for each file

asecure_loader region

Within asecure_loader is another file table similar to region 1 but is located within region 1 itself. This has only been observed to hold metldr in its encrypted form.

Then follows a 32 byte entry for each file

Second Region

This region appears to directly follow the other region (at 0xF0000 = region size + header)

Not much is known about this at this stage.

Encrypted Files on Flash

Encrypted files on flash appear to have some sort of header

The first 4 bytes appear to reffer to length. eg:

metldr length: 0xE920
0x00000E8E * 0x10 = 0xE8E0 + 0x40 = 0xE920
bootldr length:  0x2F4F0
0x00002F4B * 0x10 = 0x2F4B0 + 0x40 = 0x2F4F0

Header shown is 0x20 bytes, perhaps this means there is a 0x40 byte header. I was not able to find any correlation of the other 2x12 bytes here, perhaps these are keys of some sort.

Dumping your flash

There are many ways you can dump your flash you can choose the way that best fits you, there are some persons studing the flash.. If you can help providing a dump (specially if you have a debug console) search for those persons in IRC Efnet #ps3dev

Payload

Unncomment dump_dev_flash() in graf_payloads compile and run the payload

see Graf's_PSGroove_Payload for more info

Linux

Using graf_chokolo kernel with /dev/ps3nflasha access

dd if=/dev/ps3nflasha of=NOR.BIN bs=1024

Hardware

see Hardware flashing

Dump NAND/NOR from GameOS

dump_flash.pkg // backup/mirror: dump-flash+syscon.rar (280.51 KB)
Make sure USB stick is FAT32 with enough free space (16MB per dump)

remark: NAND dumps are 239MB because HV masks bootldr, see Hardware flashing #Difference between hardware dumps and software dumps
