PS3 freedom on Pulse?


Recommended Posts

Any Pulse and PS3 owners attempted the new PS3 jailbreak using their Pulse? Apparently it has now been ported to Android but only on rooted devices - I'm not at present. If it works, I may well become rooted once more. Pulse isn't on the compatability list but that could just be because its one of the more obscure phones.

As far as I know you need a modified kernel so a no go right now on the pulse

Was waiting for someone to start a thread on this :)

Unfortunately it's only for phones that use the MSM72K USB controller so far, I think ours uses MSM_HSUSB? I believe they're going to be porting for that too because some Heroes and G1's use it, but even then to get it to work with the Pulse we would still need the kernel source?

I've been following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772795 the last few days, but it's all a bit too much for me to understand to be honest lol Therefore the above is just how I've interpreted the situation so far & any input/corrections is more than welcome? :P

MSM72K and MSM_HSUSB are both for the same hardware. MSM_HSUSB is the old function driver, MSM72K is the gadget driver. It appears that in newer kernels the MSM_HSUSB driver is not included (I'm not sure what is used in the official 2.1 roms).

I have been following this for a while and the problem with using it on the pulse is that the MSM72K USB gadget driver in the 2.6.27 kernel appears to be broken. Since we don't have any other working kernel source, that means until we can get some working kernel source with a working USB gadget driver it won't be an option.

Don't expect it to get ported to MSM_HSUSB. It needs a gadget driver.

PS. I'm trying to get a newer kernel working. I don't like my chances, but I'll try.

I'm running Kernel 2.6.29 on my Pulse, with firmware 2.1

Not exactly sure what the requirements are but i've been unable to get the zip files flashed onto my phone, they fail every time.

My plan was to just keep trying everything they release until one works.

It helps that I know to only look at the MSM72K stuff now though.

Happy to essentially test anything though if anyone comes up with something, the Pulse is only used as an internet browser, not my primary phone and I have a second PS3 that i'm keeping on the 3.41 firmware.

Cheers for clearing that up, the driver thing was confusing me (and still is lol)!

I'll attach the kernel config file taken from my own custom rom that is based on the UK 2.1 rom, although not sure if that actually helps your query on the included driver in the official 2.1 roms...

any news on this?

:P

Hate to bring down the rain on the parade, but this particular project may now be a lost cause if this update does what is rumoured.

I hope u didn't donate or donate too much to this guy as he absolutely wreaks of a scammer! I hope he isn't but pretty much every forum has the opinion he is...

@BigBear: there's a couple methods to get online I think, one is to use something called Logan5 Tool, & the other is to change your network settings on the ps3 so your Primary DNS (& maybe secondary?) is set to 67.202.81.137 . Haven't personally tried either though...

Yap these hacks used to work earlier, but Sony fixed them =/

As far as I know there's now no possibility to go online with any other firmware than the most recent one =/

In fact both those hacks work now :P

I just tried the alternative DNS setting (its been updated and it works).

But people are reporting that Logan's tool work as well.

PS: IMO DNS hack is easier :)

Oh that's cool, now lets hack this into our kernel :(

So with the wealth of Android ports being released has anyone found anything that works on the Pulse yet?

This is interesting. I haven't signed in on my PS3 for over a week, so I haven't updated yet. So I could still be tempted by this. :L

How much is the Pulse Mini these days?

It's less than £100 that's for sure, if PSgroove was ported onto that phone it would cost the same as the original Jailbreak dongle yet be a fully functional android fone!

Posted

Anyone able to port this to the pulse mini? :P

Wish I could code :)

Do you have one for me?

How about one for the standard T-Mobile Pulse? :P

If I had the necessary coding skills I would be working on this myself already.
