PS3 Recovery Menu Discovered

Posted by greg on October 17, 2008

Somewhat useless, as far as I’m concerned; but perhaps someone will prove me otherwise. Over at ps3gen a firmware 2.50 discovery was made — the PS3 Recovery Menu.

While the PS3 is in standby mode, press and hold the power button until you hear two consecutive beeps. When prompted, attach the controller via USB and press the PS button. News tipper, Mentality, confirms it.

Tech support probably uses this in attempt to recover your console should the damage be minimal; otherwise, you’re FedExing that PS3 out for repair. But maybe, just maybe — this Recovery Menu can be exploited somehow, someway…

That will be cool if some1 can make somthing out of this. Im not a developer or nothing but it would cool for some 1 to somehow put there own recovery files on to exploit the proccess.Maybe………………

The PS3 will eventually be hacked but it will be obsolete when it happens.

There are a number of good points with this recovery menu, you can re-install the same firmware - IE 2.50 can be re-installed again, I wonder when sony release another firmware if you will be able to actually downgrade back to 2.50, it would appear you can’t go lower as stated in the menu when you select system update it tells you it must be from 2.50. So if a custom firmware where to be designed it could be the the same firmware revision, something like say 2.50M33 (just to make a point.) I think the only thing we have to work out here is how to make a custom firmware for the PS3 and how to get the console to think its official. I think both are resonably possible, so Sony might have shot themselves in the foot with this one. Stick tight guys might be abit of a wait, but this is probably the one. Not to say it definatly will be, looking at problems in the past with the PS3 and getting past it’s security, the recovery menu could be in total lock down meaning still no way in, but there could be light at the end of the tunnel.

No, what you’re stating is illegal to do, that would be forging sonys digital signature.

technically speaking, hacking the system wide open and releasing the hacks is illegal to begin with.

anyway, it looks like sony learned its lesson with the psp and has applied it well to the ps3. sony has taken their time with the fir

probably not the layout of it

the xmb (Xross Media Bar) is very simple and easy to use

sony may add more features in the future inside each category... but the layout will stay the same

Copy XBOX? No!

Sony change design? Maybe, depends how THEY feel.
