This is the Hypervisor (see Hypervisor Reverse Engineering) and follows the SELF file format.

Embedded Files Segment[edit | edit source]

lv1 contains many embedded selfs inside of a special segment "Embedded Files Segment". This is a segment within the program itself, loading in a hex editor gives a small file table which appears different from the others that sony has used.

File Table[edit | edit source]

The file table follows this structure

  • 4 bytes = number of entries
  • 4 bytes = table length

then the file table:

  • 4 bytes = index
  • 4 bytes = start
  • 4 bytes = length

then follows a null terminated string for each file commonly:

  • pme_init
  • sysmgr_ss.fself
  • pme_init.conf
  • ss_init.fself
  • updater_frontend.fself
  • ss_server1.fself
  • ss_server2.fself
  • ss_server3.fself

Files common on lv1[edit | edit source]

lv1.self delegates a lot of work to the embedded selfs which it loads to different process (see Hypervisor Reverse Engineering).

Dump lv1 embedded ELFs script[edit | edit source]

I did this script quickly to extract the embedded files within lv1. This script doesn't use the file table, is ugly, but works... anyone feel free to improve it --PsiCoLeO 16:11, 22 May 2011 (CDT)

Located an updated variant of PsiCoLeO's script. The update includes offsets and sizes for 4.21 - 4.41 firmware, and was contributed by Rip Cord from an external source, with minor typo fixes by myself. See edit summary for source attribution. --Tuxsavvy (talk) 08:55, 22 April 2023 (CEST)

How to use it

1) Save the script in a file named: 

dump_lv1_embedded_files.sh

2) Give it execute permisions: 

chmod +x dump_lv1_embedded_files.sh

3) Feed it with decrypted lv1.self: 

./dump_lv1_embedded_files.sh lv1.elf

#!/bin/bash

# Rip Cord 2013
