What it is

The Playstation 3 Console can enter a special "Service Mode". When it does so, the bottom right hand corner of the screen has a red translucent rectangle with the words "Playstation 3. Factory/Service Mode" inside of the rectangle.

Factory Service Mode


How to enter

To enter, it is needed setting Offset 0x48C07 on the System Controller EEPROM to value: 0x00 or 0xFE,
at least something beside 0xFF (inactive). This can usually be done via a special hardware logic dongle, or the Factory Service Mode Tool.


Dongle

  • When the PS3 is off
  • plugging a special "JIG" in the most right USB port (closest to the Blu-Ray Drive)
  • then pressing Eject immediately after pressing the Power button


The PlayStation 3 is triggered into Service Mode when it boots up.

(reference: Getting in FSM with Dongle (2 Steps) )


Factory Service Mode Tool

FactoryServiceMode Tool v0.2 (Only on modified Playstation System Software 3.55 and lower) allows you to enter Factory Service Mode without any Dongle and just through GameOS XMB.

Requires 'LV1 mmap hvcall 114 fix'
Requires 'LV2 peek and poke'


Linux

This requires graf chokolos modules and patches installed


1st step – Generating a challenge


  1. ps3dm_usb_dongle_auth /dev/ps3dmproxy gen_challenge

2nd step – Generating a valid response for a challenge


You need a dongle id. Valid range for dongle IDs is 0×0000 – 0xffff. So choose one, doesn’t matter which one, but some are revoked !!!

  1. ps3dm_usb_dongle_auth /dev/ps3dmproxy gen_resp 0xBABE “here is a challenge like this 0xXX 0xXX … of size 20 bytes”

3rd step – Verifying response (Enabling “Product Mode”)


  1. ps3dm_usb_dongle_auth /dev/ps3dmproxy verify_resp 0xBABE

“here is the response from step 2 like this 0xXX 0xXX … of size 20 bytes”


( Reference: Emulating JIG with Linux )


Rebug Toolbox

Select Option "Toggle Product Mode" under "Utilities" column.
