[UPATE] Team X3 confirmed that they do indeed have the PS3's console Master Key

by Rith - on Dec 13th 2010 - 1 Comment

Here’s a quick update regarding Team X3 and the Master Key. They confirmed that they actually do have the PS3′s console Master Key but are seeking for ways to protect it prior to releasing it to the public. We can only imagine what Sony is thinking right now.


“Earlier today it was reported that our group discovered the masterkey – I can confirm this. The video released last week was done prematurely and out of excitement. Many of you are pushing for us release our 3.5 solution understandably so. I completely understand the logic that once released it’ll be cloned and truthfully that’s inevitable. At the same time we must do our best to prevent, or at least delay that from happening. Using the PSdowngrade as the most recent example, in just a couple of weeks we’ve seen the DigiKey team port the downgrade to their multiple brands.”

“Given our dedication to the X3Max it’s imperative our solution is secured to the best of out ability before being publicly released.”

Team X3 may be in possession of the PS3's system Master Key–not the USB Master Key

by Rith - on Dec 12th 2010 - No Comments

Earlier, we reported that Team X3 has decided to delay the release of the firmware v3.50 jailbreak. Since then, there has been some new information as to what has been going on at team X3′s lab. According to Logic-Sunrise, team X3 is in possession of the PS3’s system Master Key; not the USB Master Key released days ago by developer Mathieulh. As you may or may not already know, the PS3’s system master key can give developers, as well as jailbreakers complete access to the PS3′s entire system. Below is a rough translation of the news.


“After many setbacks, and still nothing concrete, Team Unveils X3 listing is: we have the masterkey for the PS3. Mathieulh Masterkey had earlier unveiled the PS3′s USB, but Masterkey console would be in the hands of the creators of X3max. Get the Masterkey the PS3 would result from the full opening of the console, be it for firmware 3.50, firmware for the future.

That would explain so many things: Why they are slow to jailbreak their 3.50 releaser, and why the team is as confident as could be shown in their news today on the official website of the team. However, the PS3 is unreal scene once more. We strive to news the advanced information provided by the X3 team, but we remain vigilant as to their veracity, as Mathieulh has provided a fake video of GT5 being run on firmware 3.50, everything is still falsifiable.

It is difficult for us not to take sides (what was already a little too done): On one side a team that looks serious, with a dongle quality, another great scene that contradict . Advance information of such importance without being true, would result in a significant loss of sales of their industry, or general interrogation that exists within the scene PS3. Opinions were extremely divided, we first.

We therefore remain on ads once again incredible, without seeing any confirmation: Everyone therefore expect the team turning the X3 for the days to come. Anyway, fake or not, soon we’ll know in a formal way, we news, with somewhat less enthusiasm than the first ad. Anyway, keep your comments courteous in the arguments, the debate could be very constructive: it would avoid to see the topic lock.

For all buyers X3max dongle that have purchased only 3.50 for the jailbreak of the PS3, the store you repay on demand, of course, even if all 7 days have passed (even 20, they’re crazy !), we prefer that you are happy with your purchases. and LS is the principal. Wait a bit anyway, time to know definitively if it’s info, or intoxication.”

Team X3 delayed the release of firmware v3.50 jailbreak

by Rith - on Dec 12th 2010 - No Comments

Looking for the firmware v3.50 jailbreak from team X3? Well, you are going to have to wait a bit longer. According to the team, they want to take necessary precautions prior to releasing the firmware v3.50 jailbreak–to avoid the cloning of their jailbreak method.


“Last week the 3.5 proof of concept video was released prematurely. There has been a lot of rumors circulating and criticism from the scene regarding our 3.5 solution. Our intention was never to get the communities hopes up in order to increase sales. The X3Max 3.5 solution is real and compatible with all existing and future models. We understand the community isn’t looking for an apology but an explanation as to why we’ve yet to release the 3.5 solution. We all witnessed how quickly the PSdowngrade was cloned – it’s crucial the same isn’t done to our 3.5 solution. We are now taking necessary precautions before releasing it to the public so it doesn’t suffer the same fate. Our group consists of experienced developers who’ve been involved in the console scene from the beginning and have worked on many different projects. The X3Max from the jump has never been about marketing hype but about pushing the envelope. Without a doubt we’re going to continue to do this as the scene evolves. While many will label us as greedy pigs we’ve invested thousands into hardware. Truthfully as a business, one of our goals is to earn a profit while bringing the community the best development dongle that isn’t priced outrageously.

…Mathieulh, you don’t have to believe it, the video was made with a retail PS3 console. Expect the unexpected ; ).”
