[Tutorial] PSfreedom for the N810 - maemo.org

It would be totally awesome if some smart soul would help port the PSfreedom hack to work with the n810.

Below is the link to the Author's original post and the source code. I honestly don't know the level of difficulty it would take but let's hope it isn't too complicate. Much thanks.

UPDATE:

This is what my buddy, Tarball, sent to me. I'm sure he doesn't mind me sharing it with the community. I tested with Topspin and got it to work on the N810. He also confirmed it on the N800. Credits goes to him for making it work on the N8X0 devices and a big THANKS to kakaroto for his hard work with the creation of PSfreedom and releasing the source. Below is his exact email along with instructions. Make sure to download the .ko files attached to this post. Please follow the N900 tutorial to put these files in your n8x0. Have fun!

To get it to work on n800 however, you can't just run the enable
script. Put psfreedom.ko in /root/, then edit
/usr/sbin/osso-usb-mass-storage-enable.sh and add:

insmod /root/psfreedom.ko
exit 1

at the top of the file. I'm not sure if you need to do this for the
n810 too, but if it isn't working it's worth a try.
You'll also need to grab these two files and put them in /lib/firmware
http://github.com/kakaroto/PSFreedom...load_bdemu.bin
http://github.com/kakaroto/PSFreedom...ec_payload.bin

After that, reboot the device, then connect it to the PS3 and boot the PS3.

Please remember that I am merely requoting his instructions only and will not be able to help you much if you are having trouble. I can try my best to help but I am just a noob too.

the code is here

I think it shouldn´t be very difficult, but difficult enough for me XD

According to commit made earlier N810 should be supported. http://github.com/kakaroto/PSFreedom...26eb70d4fd465b

but when you try to ru psfreedom-enable you get this.
line 9: initctl: not found
insmod: cannot insert 'psfreedom.ko': Invalid module format (-1): Exec format error

My buddy got it to work and send me the files. It requires a couple of tweaks here and there. He tested on his N800 and I confirmed it on my N810. I got the "install package" to show up. About to install a game to see if this will work.

Will report back later.

jcesar | # 9 | 2010-09-06, 15:38 | Report

It works, thank you
but how do I deactivate it for accesing the N810 memory from the pc?
BTW, you don´t have to run the sh, the N810 runs it on the start up

@azz, in your updated OP, is the attached PSFreedom.ko, already modified to work on the n800, or can I add those lines to it myself? thanks again for sharing this!
