Each PUP contain updates for different partitions of the system. Most packages, once decrypted, decompressed and pieced together are a raw disk image for the partition to update. Sometimes a TAR archive patch is also used along with the disk images but not as often. Sony usually releases three kinds of update files, each to update different components: full, systemdata and preinst.

There are different types of PS Vita .PUP files:


==== full ====
==== release - full - rel ====
This contains the actual system files. The main components are <code>os0</code>, <code>vs0</code>, and the [[Boot Sequence|bootloader partition]].
 
Release PUPs update most [[Partitions|partitions]]. This contains the actual system files. The main components are <code>os0</code>, <code>vs0</code>, and the [[Boot Sequence|bootloader partition]].
 
==== systemdata - sd ====


==== systemdata ====
Systemdata PUPs only update the <code>sa0</code> [[Partitions|partition]]. It is likely separated from the main update due to it not regularly needing updates and size concerns.
Systemdata PUPs only update the <code>sa0</code> [[Partitions|partition]]. It is likely separated from the main update due to it not regularly needing updates and size concerns.


==== preinst ====
==== preinstall - preinst ====
Preinst PUPs only update the <code>pd0</code> [[Partitions|partition]]. This is the [[Welcome Park]] application and the initial setup movie. It is likely separated from the main update because of the size.

Unknown. Maybe stands for Model Differences.


==== Debug ====
Unknown. Stands for Model Differences.
Debug updates for [[PTEL-XXXX]] and [[PDEL-XXXX]] do not separate into different PUPs. A single PUP will update all components. Additionally updates for PDEL units contains updates for the CP and probably other development unit specific components.

Like on PS3, there is no regioning in the .PUP files: they are the same for all different regions. However, the PS Vita gets the psp2-updatelist.xml from different servers, depending on the region of that model.
 
On retail (CEX) consoles, when you check for updates via WiFi in settings the console will download an XML file based on the console's region code. For example on PS Vitas sold within the United States the URL for the XML file is <code>http://fus01.psp2.update.playstation.net/update/psp2/list/us/psp2-updatelist.xml</code>.
 
When this file is read by the system, the <code>region id</code> MUST match the system region.
 
Possible regions are: <code>jp</code>, <code>us</code>, <code>au</code>, <code>uk</code>, <code>eu</code>, <code>kr</code>, <code>sa</code>, <code>tw</code>, <code>ru</code>, <code>mx</code>, <code>cn</code> and on devkit you must use the region id <code>257</code> and <code>258</code> for testkit's.
 
The file must be no larger than 65535 bytes, and the URL's specifying where to download the .PUP from can be no longer than 1024 characters, it also must be a direct URL to the content *including "http://" protocol*.
 
When selecting "Update via connecting to PC", the console connects to Content Manager Assistant installed on a PC and then CMA downloads the psp2-updatelist.xml file and the PUP files from PC side and sends it back to the PS Vita. Because of this, by using a custom Content Manager Assistant such as QCMA, you can send whatever psp2-updatelist.xml you want to the PS Vita. This is also what happens with "Update via connecting to PS3".


Contrarly to PS3, there is no regioning in the .PUP files: they are the same for all different regions.<br />
On PS Vita DevKit and TestKit, you can configure your own URL for the psp2-updatelist.xml file in <code>Debug Settings > System Update</code> and this setting can be overridden by placing a file at <code>ux0:/PSP2/UPDATE/SERVER_URL.TXT</code> or <code>host0:/PSP2/UPDATE/SERVER_URL.TXT</code>.
However, the PSVita gets the psp2-updatelist.xml from different servers, depending on the region of that model.

=== Running your own local update server ===
 
Note: this is untested, please report back!
 
Using a webserver (apache, lighttpd, nginx, etc.) and proxy/firewall to catch http://f**01.psp2.update.playstation.net/update/psp2/list/**/psp2-updatelist.xml" and point it to your local server you could[1] have more control over the updates/bandwith. Of course you need to have every <code>PSP2UPDATE.PUP</code> file you reference to, otherwise it errors out.
 
In this example the webserver is configured at http://192.168.0.254, region is set to <code>eu</code>[2].

== Verification ==
== Verification ==


The HMAC key used to verify the packages has been released. Look around for "pup-hmac".
The PUP Header is signed using HMAC, HMAC-SHA1 for PS3 and HMAC-SHA256 for PS Vita.


== Decryption ==
On PS Vita, the PUP Header Digest is signed using RSA2048. The PUP Header RSA signature is RSA-signed along with a message into SCEWM file, which is encrypted using AES128CBC.
 
The PUP Header embeds HMAC signatures for each PUP segment.


To decrypt the files that are unpacked using the tool, the keys are available under [[Keys]].
All the PUP keys are known except RSA private keys.

The PSVita and PSVita TV update files can be extracted from .PUP using:

It is a mistake to try to connect a file entry ID to any specific file. A better way of organizing the update contents is through the extracted [[SCE]] encrypted file header. Nevertheless, there are certain file entry IDs that have been linked with the same data throughout all observed update packages.

Description[edit | edit source]

PUP (Playstation Update Package) files are packages which contain the files used to update a PSP or PS3 system. There are 2 different types: patches (PS3PATCH.PUP) and full updates (PS3UPDAT.PUP). Based on the model, there are 4 different release types: Retail/CEX, Shop/SEX, Debug/DEX and Tool/DECR. Within the Retail/CEX there are 2 file versions: 1 is a PUP with a normal file length which also gets released online. The other PUP file version is the same, except it is zero-filled after the normal PUP content to a fixed filelength of 256MB, which gets released on Gamedisks (if gamecreators build their project to a premaster and give it to Sony for signing, they just use a placeholder of a 256MB PS3UPDAT.PUP which contains no firmwaredata at all - it is completely zerofilled. Sony decides the firmware that gets on the disk and for which firmware the 'Gold' code is signed and mastered).

Location[edit | edit source]

PS Vita[edit | edit source]

The PS Vita and PS Vita TV OS can install the update as /PSP2/UPDATE/PSP2UPDAT.PUP or as /PSVITA/UPDATE/PSVUPDAT.PUP.

The update comes from:

http://djp01.psv.update.playstation.net/update/psv/image/image/<YYYY_MMDD>/pre_<md5>/PSVUPDAT.PUP

It is only used by sony on the website. That's why there is no update list on that server.

Types[edit | edit source]

PS3[edit | edit source]

To document.

PS Vita[edit | edit source]

PUP contains updates for different partitions of the system. Most packages, once decrypted, decompressed and pieced together are a raw disk image for the partition to update. Sometimes, a TAR archive patch is also used along with the disk images but not as often. Sony usually releases three kinds of update files, each to update different components: release, systemdata and preinstall.

There are different types of PS Vita .PUP files:

release - full - rel[edit | edit source]

Release PUPs update most partitions. This contains the actual system files. The main components are os0, vs0, and the bootloader partition.

systemdata - sd[edit | edit source]

Systemdata PUPs only update the sa0 partition. It is likely separated from the main update due to it not regularly needing updates and size concerns.

preinstall - preinst[edit | edit source]

Preinstall PUPs only update the pd0 partition. This is the Welcome Park application and the initial setup movie. It is likely separated from the main update due to it not regularly needing updates and size concerns.

com[edit | edit source]

Unknown. Maybe stands for Common or for Communication in the case it would target COM PS Vita i.e. PS Vita that have a 3G Modem.

modeldiff[edit | edit source]

Unknown. Stands for Model Differences.

Update List[edit | edit source]

PS3[edit | edit source]

There is no regioning in the .PUP files i.e. they are the same for all different regions (if you were looking for regioninfo, see here). The PS3 however gets the ps3-updatelist.txt from different servers, depending on the region of that model (last 2 numbers in the CECHxxXX SKU name).

PS Vita[edit | edit source]

Like on PS3, there is no regioning in the .PUP files: they are the same for all different regions. However, the PS Vita gets the psp2-updatelist.xml from different servers, depending on the region of that model.

On retail (CEX) consoles, when you check for updates via WiFi in settings the console will download an XML file based on the console's region code. For example on PS Vitas sold within the United States the URL for the XML file is http://fus01.psp2.update.playstation.net/update/psp2/list/us/psp2-updatelist.xml.

When this file is read by the system, the region id MUST match the system region.

Possible regions are: jp, us, au, uk, eu, kr, sa, tw, ru, mx, cn and on devkit you must use the region id 257 and 258 for testkit's.

The file must be no larger than 65535 bytes, and the URL's specifying where to download the .PUP from can be no longer than 1024 characters, it also must be a direct URL to the content *including "http://" protocol*.

When selecting "Update via connecting to PC", the console connects to Content Manager Assistant installed on a PC and then CMA downloads the psp2-updatelist.xml file and the PUP files from PC side and sends it back to the PS Vita. Because of this, by using a custom Content Manager Assistant such as QCMA, you can send whatever psp2-updatelist.xml you want to the PS Vita. This is also what happens with "Update via connecting to PS3".

On PS Vita DevKit and TestKit, you can configure your own URL for the psp2-updatelist.xml file in Debug Settings > System Update and this setting can be overridden by placing a file at ux0:/PSP2/UPDATE/SERVER_URL.TXT or host0:/PSP2/UPDATE/SERVER_URL.TXT.

Running your own local update server[edit | edit source]

Note: this is untested, please report back!

Using a webserver (apache, lighttpd, nginx, etc.) and proxy/firewall to catch http://f**01.psp2.update.playstation.net/update/psp2/list/**/psp2-updatelist.xml" and point it to your local server you could[1] have more control over the updates/bandwith. Of course you need to have every PSP2UPDATE.PUP file you reference to, otherwise it errors out.

In this example the webserver is configured at http://192.168.0.254, region is set to eu[2].

Installation[edit | edit source]

To install firmware via USB Mass Storage Devices (e.g. USB-stick, Memory Stick, SD-card, Compact Flash with at least 256MB free), place the PS3UPDAT.PUP file in the following folder structure: /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP

  • The update location for Kiosk is the same as Retail/CEX.
  • The update location for disc media (CD, DVD, BD-ROM) is /PS3_UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
  • The update data for Reference Tool (Tool/DECR) is %SCE_PS3_ROOT%\target\updater\ref-tool\PS3UPDAT.PUP.NNN.0xx
  • The update data for Debugging Station (Debug/DEX) is %SCE_PS3_ROOT%\target\updater\debugging_station\PS3UPDAT.PUP.NNN.0xx.forDEX.release.yyyymmdd
  • For updating with a single firmware PUP, both the Reference Tool (Tool/DECR) and Debugging Station (Debug/DEX) use the same folder structure as Retail/CEX : /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
  • For updating with a multiple firmware PUP (2.50 or later), the Reference Tool (Tool/DECR) can use the folder structure : /PS3/UPDATE/SEARCH with a maximum of 2 sublevels deeper (e.g. PS3/UPDATE/SEARCH/ReferenceTool/250/PS3UPDAT.PUP.242.001). A maximum of 20 PUP files (including /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP if applicable) will be shown in the firmware list.
  • The update location for Arcade is "/dev_hdd0/game/SCEEXE000/ARCDIR/PS3UPDAT.PUP"
  • The update location in Factory Service Mode (used for downgrader and remarry) is /PS3UPDAT.PUP
  • The update location for QA Debug setting : System Update Debug=ON is /dev_hdd0/updater/01/PS3UPDAT.PUP, /dev_hdd0/updater/02/PS3UPDAT.PUP, etc... (or up to 20 updates together with any name and no file extension required in /dev_hdd0/updater/01/)

Problem solving / tips[edit | edit source]

  • Don’t use any USB Mass Storage Device with enhanced functions as: encryption, fingerprintreader, U3, pincode etc. (sometimes marketed under names as SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) thus needing drivers and only working under Windows)
  • Don’t use USB Mass Storage Devices with a long initialisation time (e.g. some MP3 players)
  • Don’t use multipartitioned USB Mass Storage Devices, only use 1 single primary FAT32 partition.
  • Make sure they are formatted according to specifications with FAT32 (e.g. HP USB Format Tool – or TOKIWA / Ridgecrop FAT32 formatter)
  • If the stick is formatted FAT32 and still not working, consider other stick or use this tool: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/restoring-your-usb-key-partition/
  • Most USB Mass Storage Devices that’ll work effortless with PenDrive Linux, will also work with the PS3 (for downgrading, upgrading, storage of your Game dumps and any normal filestorage under the XMB). Those USB Mass Storage Devices are most likely also the ones giving you the least problems under more exotic platforms like PSX/PSone, PS2/PStwo, Xbox/X360, Gamecube/Wii/WiiU etc.
  • Make sure no disc is inside the drive otherwise it will try to install that one instead of the one on USB Mass Storage Device!
  • Make sure the media is not readonly (e.g. SDcard or USB Stick with readonly tab) if using firmwares when doing one of the following:
    • Factory Service Mode reinstallation
    • Remarry BDdrive
    • RSOD Fix
    • or any process that needs to write a log file, in short, write access

Structure[edit | edit source]

Verification[edit | edit source]

The PUP Header is signed using HMAC, HMAC-SHA1 for PS3 and HMAC-SHA256 for PS Vita.

On PS Vita, the PUP Header Digest is signed using RSA2048. The PUP Header RSA signature is RSA-signed along with a message into SCEWM file, which is encrypted using AES128CBC.

The PUP Header embeds HMAC signatures for each PUP segment.

All the PUP keys are known except RSA private keys.

Extraction[edit | edit source]

PS3[edit | edit source]

PS Vita[edit | edit source]

The PS Vita and PS Vita TV update files can be extracted from .PUP using:

Digest Table[edit | edit source]

The Digest Table contains a Digest Entry for every segment inside the PUP.

typedef struct ScePupDigestEntry_v1 { // size is 0x20-bytes

PS Vita[edit | edit source]

Differences with PS3 PUPs[edit | edit source]

The file structure of the PS Vita PUP is almost identical to the PS3 PUP, although there is a slight difference in the header, the hash algorithm and the signature.

  • PS Vita PUP is little-endian. PS3 PUP is big-endian.
  • PS Vita PUP Format Version is 2. PS3 PUP Format Version is 1.
  • There are 0x50 bytes of extra data in the PS Vita PUP Header compared to PS3 PUP.
  • PS Vita PUP digests are longer than the ones in PS3 PUP: 0x20 bytes (SHA-256 length) in PS Vita PUP versus 0x14 bytes (SHA-1 length) in PS3 PUP.
  • PS Vita PUP Header Digest is signed using RSA2048 in the SCEWM file. ?PS3 PUP has a RSA signature?

Segment Table[edit | edit source]

Same as in PS3 PUP.

Digest Table[edit | edit source]

The Digest Table contains a Digest Entry for every segment inside the PUP.

typedef struct ScePupDigestEntry_v2 { // size is 0x40-bytes
	SceUInt64 segment_index;
	SceUInt8 digest[0x20];
	SceUInt8 padding[0x18];
} ScePupDigestEntry_v2;

0x28 0x18 uint8_t[0x18] Padding

Header Digest[edit | edit source]

typedef struct {
  uint8_t digest[0x20]; // HMAC-SHA256
} PUPHeaderDigest_v2;
