First Region

Second Region

NOR only: 0x0F00000 - 0x0F00020
This region appears to directly follow the other region (at 0xF0000 = region size + header)
Not much is known about this at this stage.

On NAND consoles without OtherOS the block 0x0F00000 - 0x0F7FFFF is zero filled
On NAND consoles with OtherOS the block 0x0F00000 - 0x0F00FFF is filled with data

Observations / Notes

As you can see, some parts appear static depending on their purpose:

metldr

00FC0010  00 00 2F 4B xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx  ../K............

per console in both samples

00000840  xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx  ................
00000850  xx xx xx xx 81 2E 00 A9 59 75 01 CC C1 72 D5 50  .......©Yu.ÌÁrÕP

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

Uncomment 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

Make sure USB stick is FAT32 with enough free space (16MB per NOR dump, 256MB per NAND dump)
