The Blade is just an Android device. If there is an app running on Android which can do a PS3 jailbreak, most likely the Blade can do it too.

Stop seeing the Blade as a phone model on itself. It's a phone running Android.

Stop reply in threads if you have no idea what you're talking about B)

You will have to use specially delveloped software, there is no "one solution fits all" for psfreedom. Not yet at least (and perhaps never will be?).

[Guest fryguyse]

The best solution would be a Recovery with PSFreedom-support imo. Using custom kernels etc is not that convenient.

You need to run psfmod recovery image on the blade to do it.

Psfmod is based on clockworkmod 2.5.1.0

The source is here - https://github.com/klutsh/psfModTools

I need to know what Phil changed to get clockworkmod working on the zte blade then I can appply those changes to this source

Sorry, didn't know that. But I have seen a lot of posts lately referring to the Blade as a standalone device but in reality it's just an Android phone.

Any idea why this is done as a recovery image rather than just a root app on normal android?

Think I remember reading that it's got to boot a modified kernel to allow the usb hub type functionality that the psfreedom exploit uses. Not 100% sure, but that would make sense...

Klutsh tried to port it to the blade, but was unsuccessful - any of the devs with experience of the phone willing to give it a go?

[Guest 2smart4class]

Anyone know if it possible with the blade, as previously mentioned klutsh did try to make it work with the blade but failed. However, it appears that any android phone with a qualcomm MSM7227 processor should be viable option. Anyone looking to do the same? or has been successful?

[Guest yadabwoy]

any progress on this saves us buying a usb jailbreak

[Guest AcceptedWalnut]

Why you wanna jailbreak PS3 anyway? ;)

[Guest deanhiggins2]

you can now put custom firmware on ps3 as long as you have 3.55 software just google Kmeaw CFW and still go online with psn just use the dns trick so no need to update ps3 or jailbreak here is a link custom firmware

sorry if i can put this link

I know with modified firmwares it isn't really necessary any more, but it works.

I'll get it working with psfmod (currently I'm running it from the command line through the rs232) and then get in touch with klutsh.

[Guest hecatae]

You got it working?

I'm impressed.

I didn't really do much, I basically just followed the instructions.

Getting the recovery image to work was more difficult than psfreedom.

I think the major difference since klutsh attempted it is the release of the 2.6.32 code. I think Klutsh was trying it on 2.6.29.

2.6.29 by default uses the older msm_hsusb driver which is not supported by psfreedom. 2.6.32 uses msm_72K which is supported.

Here is a psfMod image. Flash to recovery. PSFreedom options are in advanced.

psfsm-0.3.4-blade.img md5sum: ed9ed2867fd53391445dbede945b5237

I tested it on a PS3 slim running 3.41 and it worked.

Have fun.

[Guest hecatae]

thanks for the md5sum and the .img

will this wipe my 2.2 rom

[Guest Tom G]

will this wipe my 2.2 rom

It replaces the recovery image. Flash it the same way you would any other recovery (there are several ways). It will not effect the normal phone partitions, only recovery. When you want to use it you reboot into recovery, once the PS3 is started you can reboot into the normal phone OS.

Hi i have been looking all of the internet for this as i have a ZTE blade and need to remarry my PS3 drive. Does anyone have a copy of file Tom G post? psfsm-0.3.4-blade.img md5sum: ed9ed2867fd53391445dbede945b5237?

Would be really appreciated.  The url http://www.flibblesan.co.uk/android/froyo/psfsm-0.3.4-blade.img seems to be down currently! And so is the original link :( https://github.com/k...evice_zte_blade. Would appropriate if anyone has a backup. Thanks
