, as follows:
How to Play PS3 Backups (Less Than / Equal To) 4.11 on Debug (DEX) Consoles
(roughly translated)
You will need:
Disc Image Generator for PlayStation 3:
The backup of your game;
A PS3 DEX configured as described below;
A Hard Disk USB vacuum (must be formatted later).
First turn on your console, connect the USB hard drive and navigate to Settings-> Debug Settings.
WARNING: with the next step you will lose ALL data on your hard disk so irreversible.
Select "HDD Format BD Emulator", choose "Quick" and press enter.
Navigate to "Boot Mode" and select "Release Mode".
Below, in "Blu-ray Disc Access" select "BD Emulator (USB)".
And below, to use the maximum speed of your HDD, select "HDD Native".
Now the console is ready to open up the hard disk drive. Connect your hard drive to your PC, Windows will tell you to format it, do not do it otherwise you'll have to format it again on the console or PS3Gen.
Start PS3Gen and open a window in the folder of your game, I will use the guide for COD: MW3. Now:
1. Enter the ID of your game;
2. If the game uses trophies, put the check mark on "Trophy";
3. In "Copyright Holder" and "Producer Name" type "SCE";
4. Select the size range in which part of your backup, the backup will occupy some HDD on the band size you choose (4.7 GB or 8.3 GB or 25GB or 50GB, no intermediate sizes, so if it will weigh 18GB 25).
5. Click on "Game Setup".
The new window is used to configure the "PARAM.SFO" and the system files of the game.
1. Click on "File-> Import File System" and select the file "PARAM.SFO" from your backup. Click on "Yes" to the window that appears.
2. Move to the tab "Content Information Files".
3. Drag ALL files in the folder "PS3_GAME" of your backups (only files not folders), and delete (right click-> delete) the PARAM.SFO and file that under "File Type" wrote "Not a file system ".
Click OK, you should not say anything and go back to the main window, write it here if you get some warning.
1. From the main window, navigate to the tab "Directory"
2. Drag the folder that you will come TROPDIR, TROPDIR the folder in the folder of your backup.
3. Drag the folder that you will come USRDIR ALL files and folders in the folder USRDIR of your backup.
4. Click on "Build".
1. On the new window, move to the third tab;
2. Select a blank image (empty) of your HDD (the number of images available will depend on the size of your HDD and the band size you choose).
3. If you want the backup "masterizzerete" is what appears in the XMB, put the tick on the box above.
4. Click on Build will start the process of "burning".
5. If you have multiple images available or want to manage images on your HDD, click on "HDD Utility" (also from Bootable principalke window using Command-> HDD Utility Emulator BD).
6. With the button "Erase Image" will delete a previously set on your HDD.
7. The button "Format HDD for BD Emulator" has the same function as the "BD Emulator Format HDD" of the PS3.
8. With the button "Set Default" will set the HDD image to be displayed in the XMB.
When you turn the console must be entered otherwise the HDD will not be detected. It should also be able to burn backups to DVD or BD, but has not been tested. The games have at least one update to be undertaken.
Here is a simple video on how to do. The required can be found here:
Here one sees the launch of COD: MW3:
How to Run PS3 Backups on DEX 3.6+ Tutorial
An anonymous source sent me a method to running 3.6+ backups on a DEX machine.
You will need these files:
PS3 Game Updater v1.41
PKGView v1.3
Preparing the PS3 USB HDD:
0. Connect an external usb disc
1. Go to debug settings on your dex
2. BD Access select "BD Emulator (USB)"
3. transfer rate option select "HDD Native"
4. "Format BD Emulator HDD"
Preparing the PS Update:
1. First use PS3 Game Updater to get the newest Update pkg for the game
2. Then fire up Pkg View and extract the BCUS98295 dir into any dir -lets just call it targetdir.
3. Extract psn_package_npdrm.exe into this dir
4. Create a .txt into this dir and fill it with:
to view code]
Rename the .txt file "package.conf". Where BCUS98295 is the Title ID of your game and Packageversion has to be the Number of the Patch you downloaded.
5. Run it via cmd with psn_package_npdrm.exe package.conf BCUS98295 -> this will create a new update pkg for your game -> put on usb stick an install on DEX 3.55 ( don't know if you can also install it later )
Preparing the BD Emu Disc:
0. connect external usb with your pc
1. Fire up psgen.exe
2. fill in the title id: bcus.. put disc version to 00.00, copyright holder = sce, producer name = sce, tick trophy, click setup game
3. file -> import -> load up the param.sfo, click tab content information files and drag and drop the files from ps_game without the directories -> remove files that get a grey background -> click ok
4. click tab directory and file the structure with your backed up files
5. click build
6. click for bd emulator hdd tab and select the partition you want to use
The anon source told me that MLS 2012 works with this method... Note that files with .edat update does not work with this method yet.
How to Create a PS3 PKG That Install EDATs Tutorial
Here are the steps to create a PKG to install edats (I couldn't find a tutorial for it, so I made this):
0. Get the make_package_npdrm.exe available in the SDK (eg. SDK 3.41) and copy it to a folder. eg. C:NPDRM
1. Create a new folder in that folder and name it with the title id of your game (eg. NPXX00999)
Note: Step 2 is no longer necessary with
updated batch file from
2. Copy to that folder the edat and the PS3LOGO.DAT file. eg:
3. Create a new text file, paste the following text, and save it as make_edat_pkg.bat in the same folder where you copied the make_package_npdrm.exe
to view code]
make_package_npdrm.exe package.conf NPXX00999
4. Before you save the file, make sure that the ContentID matches the with the file name of the .edat file and the folder name near the make_package_npdrm.exe is correct.
5. Run the batch file: make_edat_pkg.bat
comes another variation using Cygwin as follows:
It's easier using cygwin, make_package_npdrm.exe will create the PS3LOGO.DAT, so no need to look for it or copy it across to the folder. Here's how to do it using cygwin:
1) Create a empty game/package folder (eg: NPUB12345).
2) Edit/create the .conf file, Delete all text in the .conf file and replace it with the following:
to view code]
3) Type "make_package_npdrm.exe NAME_OF_YOUR.conf NPUB12345"
That's it, The License pkg should now be created.
NOTE: There is no need to place an EDAT in the folder, make_package_npdrm.exe will make the EDAT and PS3LOGO.DAT. Changing "Local" to "Free" in the .conf won't make any difference in respect to making a "Free" EDAT, The created EDAT/License Will always be create as "Local". You need a modified make_package_npdrm.exe if you want to create a "Free" EDAT/License.
Also below is a leak from what appears to be the PS3 Dev Wiki for those interested:

This is with red ribbon rc5 liveboot.
(via ps3crunch.net/forum/threads/4111-C2D?p=45601#post45601) comes yet another PS3 NOR guide, as follows:
I'm not good at writing tutorials so someone can feel free to make it better. This is for NOR owners only sorry NOT FOR NAND CONSOLES!
1) Get Linux prepared on your PS3 (You won't need it much but you still do for 5 minutes - Here is a modified version of Glevands tutorial)
All tools are here: gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/
NOTICE: All my tools should beep. If you don't get beep during one of the steps below then stop doing anything and contact me. I will help. OtherOS++ support: irc.gitbrew.org (ssl) #otheros
1. Install my latest CFW (I recommend using the OTHEROS-22GB.PUP)
2. When installation is finished, reboot in Recovery Mode (not the Backup/Restore in XMB) and choose "Restore PS3 System"
3. Now your GameOS partition should show 22GB less than usual
4. Run setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg (for all PS3 models)
5. Reboot (It's important to shut down and turn on your PS3)
6. Store dtbImage.ps3.bin on USB drive, plug it in and run install_otheros.pkg
Try different USB ports if you don't get any beeps.
7. Run boot_otheros.pkg
8. Run reboot.pkg (use the package, not manually reboot!)
9. You should be in petitboot now.
Exit from CUI to shell or switch to another virtual console.
10. Run script create_hdd_region.sh - rem to CHMOD 755
(The path to create_hdd_region.sh /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/create_hdd_region.sh)
"sda1" could be "sda2" or "sdb1"/"sdb2" depending on the hdd/stick number-of-partitions
11. Reboot and boot petitboot (from GameOs start "Reboot" app)
12. Then boot red-ribbon-livecd (from the usb – see below) - it should appear in petitboot
2) Download Red Ribbon RC5 on your PC
3) Extract the ISO to a USB stick (with MagicISO, PowerISO, WinRAR, etc.)
4) Boot your PS3 into petitboot, plug your Linux USB stick in and choose the option to install with OtherOS++ (was the top option for me). Use default user/password (ps3/ps3)
5) Reboot to GameOS, Install and boot mmCM (With a USB Stick plugged in)
Update online via "debug mode" – (holding L2+R2 during startup) -> Update to latest online version (still 4.4.3)
6) Press [SELECT] + [START] to go to mmOS, press [CIRCLE] on ANY file and "Open in Hex"
7) Press [SELECT] to switch to LV2 memory
Then press [START] to dump
It will ask if you want to dump LV2, then LV1 just press [NO]
Third question is about the flash, press [YES]
You'll find the dump in /dev_usb000
It will look similar to 20120717-185431-FLASH-NOR-FW3.55.NORBIN
8) Copy the dump to your PC and put it in a folder with "norunpack" (have norunpack at root of C:/ drive for ease of use), rename your dump to 355CEX.NORBIN for ease of use.
- norunpack
9) Open a command prompt and type "cd C:\norunpack" (without quotes)
Then type "norunpack 355CEX.NORBIN extracted" (without quotes)
10) Once completed, go into your newly created "extracted" folder and then into the "asecure_loader" folder to grab your dumped metldr
11) Download metldrpwn from
& extract it.
12) Place your "metldr" file in the metldrpwn folder and copy to a USB stick
13) Boot up Linux on your PS3, plug your USB stick in
14) Copy the "metldrpwn" folder to your "Home" folder
15) Open up Terminal and type "cd metldrpwn" (without quotes)
16) Type "sudo ./run.sh" (without quotes) If it fails, type "sudo chmod +x ./run.sh" (without quotes) Then re-type "sudo ./run.sh" (without quotes)
17) Copy your newly created "dump_eid0.bin" file to your USB and plug it back into your PC
18) Copy the "dump_eid0.bin" & your "355CEX.NORBIN" into the c2d.exe folder (copy C2D.exe folder to root of C drive for ease of use)
19) Open your "dump_eid0.bin" in a hexeditor of you choosing (I used HXD) and extract your keys - keys are either at start of the file (0x00 - 0x2f) or somewhere else. You can find the right location by searching the dump. You can search for bytes 0x00-0x10 and you may find the proper erk/iv at 0xc0*** location
20) Highlight and copy your keys (3 lines) and create a new file in your hex program, paste your keys in and save it as "keys.BIN"
21) Open a command prompt and type "cd C:\c2d" (without quotes) Then type "c2d.exe keys.BIN 355CEX.NORBIN 355DEX.EID0.NORBIN" (without quotes)
22) Copy your 355DEX.EID0.NORBIN & your renamed 355CEX.EID0.NORBIN to your PS3 (FTP in mmCM or on a USB stick) mmCM will not flash unless the file ends with .EID0.NORBIN
23) Open mmOS ([SELECT] + [START]), browse to your 355DEX.EID0.NORBIN and double click on it.
24) Reboot your console and install 3.55 DEX FW
25) To switch back to retail, simply double click on your 355CEX.EID0.NORBIN, reboot and reinstall a 3.55 CFW of your preference

Finally, below are a few more guides to go back from DEX to CEX for those interested:
Going PS3 DEX To CEX With No Brick Risk Tutorial
Here is Tutorial to convert your Dex console to Cex, with no brick risk 100% tested on fat and slim consoles.
Before Start Tut Be Sure Your Firmware is DEX3.55.
1- rename your 16 MB cex flash to my.CEX.EID0.NORBIN for Slim Console With NOR flash and my.CEX.EID0.NANDBIN for Fat console with NAND flash
2- Overwrite the reanamed cex flash file Using multiman. (Run in filemanager of multiman)
3- Download And Install FactoryServiceMod.pkg but DON'T RUN:
4- Download Rogero CFW V3.4 and rename it to PS3UPDAT.PUP:
5- Download Lv2diag.self file (365Kb):
6- Copy Renamed Rogero CFW and Lv2diag.self to root folder of Your Cooldisk Or EXT.HDD
7- Connect Your CoolDisk Or HDD to right usb slot of your console (the one near BD drive)
8- Run FactorySerViceMode From Console after running factoryservicemode the screen goes black wait until the console turn off automaticlly.this may take 4-5 min.
9- Delete Lv2diag.self (365Kb) From cooldisk or HDD. download Lv2diag.self (4.14Kb) from the link below and copy to root folder of cooldisk or HDD. Connect it to right slot of your console:
There is two Lv2diag.self for this TuT, Be careful. First one is 365kb and 2nd one is 4.14kb.
10- Turn on The Console.. wait for automatic turn off.
11- eject usb drive, turn on console.
: Here's a fast and safe way to go between CEX and DEX for NOR consoles:
1. Create /PS3/UPDATE/ folder in the root of a USB flash drive and copy DEX OFW 3.55 PS3UPDAT.PUP file there.
2. Create /CEX/UPDATE/ folder there and copy CEX OFW 3.55 PS3UPDAT.PUP file there.
3. Copy your CEX and DEX flash files to the USB root.
4. Rename CEX file to _CEX and DEX file to DEX.EID0.NORBIN
5. Create a .bat file, for example CEXDEX.BAT:
to view code]
6. You are ready to go CEX->DEX! If you want DEX->CEX, just run CEXDEX.BAT and you'll have CEX.EID0.NORBIN and CEX FW ready for flashing. The important thing is not to forget to turn the console off from XMB after flashing the .NORBIN file in multiman, not from multiman of by pressing the power button.
PS3 CEX-to-DEX Conversion and Rollback Tutorial
(via ps3crunch.net/forum/threads/4587-Newbie?p=50183#post50183)
Seeing as everyone is asking for a CEX-to-DEX tutorial, I've decided to post one up here - so here you go.
Part 1.1: Preparing The Flash Dump For DEX Firmware Installation
QA-Flag the system using REBUG's Toggle-QA
Use multiMAN (referred to mM hereafter) 04.04.04 or later/MemDump to dump the FLASH (I used the mM-dumped one instead, even though the MemDump/mM dumps are the same as each other, hash-wise)
Use flatz's EID root key application on the PS3 once installed by executing it without having any USB dongles plugged in and the key should be dumped in the "/dev_hdd0/tmp/" path
Use Gunner54's CEX-to-DEX application to patch the flash dump
Double-Click (tap) on the DEX TargetID-modified dump renamed to have ".EID0.NORBIN" or ".EID0.NANDBIN" extension in mM 04.04.04 or later in order to change the TargetID from there
Restart the system by:
--- Exiting mM and returning to the XMB by pressing the PS button, and selecting "Quit Game"
--- Selecting the "Users" menu in XMB and then shutting down the system from there
--- Pressing the
button on the PS3
Part 1.2: Installing DEX Firmware
Having an official 3.55 DEX firmware PUP on a USB memory dongle in the "USB:\PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP" (must be named as such) directory:
--- Install it in XMB via the "Settings" XMB menu, and then select the "System Update" option, and then;
--- Select the "Update from storage media" option whilst having the "Turn system off automatically after update" option unchecked, providing that the option is there, then follow the instructions from there.
Part 2.1: Rolling Back to CEX
Having installed the official DEX 3.55 firmware now, Use mM again, but this time, use the original CEX flash dump, and select it in order to change the TargetID back to the original TargetID (mine was 87 = CEX-UK)
Exit mM and returning to the XMB by pressing the PS button, and select "Quit Game", and then from there, restart the system by:
--- Selecting the "Users" menu in XMB again and then shutting down the system from there
--- Pressing the
button on the PS3.
Part 2.2: Installing CEX Firmware
Having the KMEAW 3.55 (CEX) firmware PUP on a USB memory dongle in the "USB:\PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP" (must be named as such) directory:
--- Install it in XMB via the "Settings" XMB menu, then select the "System Update" option, and then;
--- Select the "Update from storage media" whilst having the "Turn system off automatically after update" option unchecked, providing that the option is there, and then follow the instructions from there.
To summarize, I had to restart my PS3 every time I had to install the firmware after the TargetID changeover and I had to install it via XMB, as it was safe enough for me to do so.
Also, to successfully revert back to CEX, make sure your console is QA-flagged, you're using the newer mM versions (CEX VERSIONS ONLY, otherwise you'll get an error) as the flash-writing capabilities are improved, AND as a safety precaution (nobody says this in their tutorials, but I do it anyway as a safety precaution), make sure you install/have already installed the official DEX 3.55 firmware WITHOUT the Downgrade Support before going back to CEX.
Note: If you are on PS3 DEX and ever get the screen (pictured below) and keep getting it after rebooting into Debug mode and it just stays there, simply open up target manager on PC and reset into software mode. Your video resolution will also go to 480p on this screen.
Hold down the Power Button until you have heard two beeps in total - one for pressing the button and another one for holding down the Power Button after a few seconds and it will be fixed.

anyway i'm downloading the iso again just incase it was corrupted somehow and i will extract them to a usb.. and try again

I love how many devs whine that it destroyed the ps3's hacking future. Please cut the bs, everybody knows that you kept it to yourself in order to enjoy the high fw privileges. If you were going to hack your way through the l0 and the keys you would have done it a long time ago... Higher versions only have more layers of protection.

By releasing this method Sony now knows how to fix it for the upcoming DEX FW. That was not without a reason why devs not made public this method!!! For devs with converted consoles it will be a massive hit in the face in the future!!!

Cheers for sharing this
, I have now
the news to the main page as well.
I'm sure many PlayStation 3 developers will make good use of it, although I bet the passes included in the new PS3 SDKs (which
mentioned they used to have in the 1.00 days) to access SP-INT will be watermarked per developer studio similar to the low level hardware docs that aren't included in most of the public leaks.

technodon, have a look here mate from
: wiki.gitbrew.org/wikibrew/Metldrpwn
Dear all,
Many of you may have heard about Metldrpwn which allows to obtain Perconsole Key set.
I bet some of you have not gone for it because of many things to install and do, like linux and etc.
Well, since now, you won't have to do all that, the only thing you will need to have/install is Otheros (Petitboot) and that's it, the image of the FULL LINUX distro with glevand's kernel patches and all is in this tutorial.
So, let me tell what you have to do in order to pwn your metldr and get you perconsole keys faster:
1. Install Petitboot
Only these steps from the orginial glevand's tutorial are needed:
1. Install my latest CFW (gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/cfw/)
2. When installation is finished, reboot in Recovery Mode (not the Backup/Restore in XMB) and choose "Restore PS3 System"
3. Now your GameOS should use only the half of your HDD (Currently working on a better approach)
4. Run setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg (gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/pkgs/setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg - for all PS3 models)
5. Reboot (It's important to shut down and turn on your PS3)
6. Store dtbImage.ps3.bin (gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/petitboot/dtbImage.ps3.bin) on USB drive, plug it in and run install_otheros.pkg (gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/pkgs/install_otheros.pkg - NAND owners should use dtbImage.ps3.bin.minimal, rename it to dtbImage.ps3.bin). Try different USB ports if you don't get any beeps.
7. Run boot_otheros.pkg (gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/pkgs/boot_otheros.pkg)
8. Run reboot.pkg (gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/pkgs/reboot.pkg - use the package, not manually reboot!)
9. You should be in petitboot now.
3.15 stock firmware (OFW) users:
Put petitboot on a memory stick
to view code]
2. Boot Linux
1. Download my distro of Linux (gitbrew.org/~rnd/Linux-2.6.39-Rnd.iso)
2. Unpack in the root of your USB stick/or burn the image to a DVD
3. Plug in your USB/Insert the disc in your PS3 and you should see 2 different boot options, boot the first one
Login details (there are 2 of them, ps3 and root):
Username: root
Password: root
Username: ps3
Password: ps3
If you need to mount a usb stick, I made a dir for that /dev/usb
Here is the mount command:
to view code]
So now you can access your USB by going here /dev/usb/
3. Metldrpwn part:
Step by Step instuctions
Precompiled metldrpwn : Here (ps3devwiki.com/files/devtools/dump-metldr/metldrpwn.zip)
you can do this over ssh or on console.
Note: don't forget to provide EID0 and RL_FOR_PROGRAM.img if you do manually, instead of the run.sh file where they are commented out
1. ssh into the ps3
2. download the files:
to view code]
3. untar the files:
to view code]
4. enter the directory and compile:
to view code]
5. run the following commands now:
to view code]
6. there now you have a dump check it out:
to view code]
7. now copy the dump somewhere or youll lose it:
to view code]
now you have a copy in your home directory for safe keeping, congrats you've completed about < 10 mins of actual work.
there you go keys are in 0x00 to 0x20 (first 3 lines)
So now you get code execution on metldr at the best time possible because your code executes right after metldr copies the root keys from 0x00 to 0x30, which means you get to dump these too. (Although they are hardcoded in metldr's code anyway)
to view code]
the first 2 lines are erk the 3rd is riv and together they are eid0 root key
btw this does not mean you get 3.60 keys etc or newer games but it will help you get some nifty things to do some new stuff.... also please be advised that if you are on 3.60+ you will need to downgrade with a flasher to do this, also if you have a unit that shipped from the factory with the metldr.2 (new metldr) your sol at the moment theres also a nifty program on the dev tools page (ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Dev_Tools) to turn your hex into key its called hex2key:
hex2key.c edit:
If you have any further questions don't hesitate to contact me,
btw, thank you AnoRelease!! a BIG thanks to all devs behind the scenes that have spent countless hours piecing together this puzzle!

Following up on the PS3 CEX (Retail) to DEX (Debug) console
release and
MultiMAN DEX Mod
comes the long-awaited "holy grail" for PlayStation 3 developers, my complete PS3 CEX to DEX conversion method!
Hi Scene, Sorry for my bad English. I want to give you info you please make public. I want be anonymous. I only can say I'm from Hong Kong. I have way to get a DEX, it works and is complete nothing missing.
Manual to get a DEX (here is everything you needed) and you have a full working DEX:
EID0 Key Seed and EID0 Section Key Seed are hardcoded in the isoldr
EID0 Key Seed
to view code]
EID0 Section Key Seed
to view code]
If you dump they isoldr key (EID Root Key) with
you got from 0x00 to 0x1F the EID Root Key and from 0x20 to 0x2F the EID Root IV
Use AES Encrypt to Encrypt EID0 Key Seed as data with EID Root Key as Key and EID Root IV as IV. The result contains from 0x10 to 0x20 the EID0IV and contains from 0x20 to 0x40 the EID0Key
Use AES Encrypt to Encrypt the EID0 Section Key Seed as data with the EID0Key as Key and no IV. The result will be the first 0x10 bytes of the EID0 First Section Key
The second 0x10 bytes of the EID0 First Section Key are only 0x00 bytes
EID0 is located in NAND at 0x80870 and in NOR at 0x2f070, the first 0x20 bytes of EID0 are not encrypted, at the fifth byte of EID0 (NOR example 0x2f075) your target ID is located change it to 0x82 (Debug Target ID)
Use AES Decrypt to decrypt the first EID0 Section (NOR example 0x2f090). The size of the first Section is 0xC0 bytes. Use the EID0 First Section Key as Key and the EID0 IV as IV
Build the CMAC (OMAC1) hash of the decrypted EID0 Section from 0x00 to 0xA8 with EID0 First Section Key as Key. The calculated hash has to be the same as the bytes in the decrypted EID0 Section from 0xA8 to 0xB8.
At 0x5 of the decrypted EID0 Section is your target id again change it to 0x82 again, 0xB8-0xC0 of the decrypted EID0 Section should be just 0x00 bytes
After you changed the target ID of the decrypted EID0 Section, create the CMAC hash of the new decrypted EID0 Section and write the new hash to the decrypted EID0 Section
Use AES Encrypt to encrypt the EID0 Section and write it back to the NOR (NAND).
Now install
DEX Firmware
with the recovery menu.
HINT: Got Petitboot on emer init go to boot gameos and do emer init again to get to the recovery menu.
You can't login to the PSN because IDPS is obviously not valid from now on.

Note: You don't need the second 0x00 eid0 first section key of all zeros. Also from an anonymous source (via bit.ly/M2Oz4Q and lnx.lu/5yD and multiupload.co.uk/TAG2B6G8ZL and multiupload.nl/TAG2B6G8ZL) comes CEX-DEX(2).7z and from the included ReadMe file, to quote:

: It just generates the EID section that you have to overwrite in your flash - that was the whole point of all this. You have to use your data and get the region to rewrite on your own console to convert your retail PS3 (CEX) to debug/test unit (DEX). This modification to the EID allows you to install the Debug firmware and get a DEX.
: The problem with this is it's easily patchable... Sony will probably patch it on the next OFW... Original retail dump, flash back retail firmware, and that's it. This is basically switching back and forth from CEX to DEX by flashing DEX dump and DEX firmware and from DEX to CEX by flashing CEX dump and CEX firmware.
You can use flasher, linux or jaicrab's preloader (basically anything that flashes the dump)
Jaicrab's Preloader
only works correctly on NOR's, you'll have problems with NAND's, or so I've tested (thanks to a friend of mine
) in case you need to compare:
If people want to flash this thing so badly WITHOUT a hardware flasher, you only need linux or jaicrab's flasher (for NOR).
To Flash:
Put these two files on the root of a fat32 formatted stick.
Rename your DEX dump to rflash.bin
Execute the self with a self loader such as MultiMAN (use mmOS to go to the stick and load the self there)
Wait 35 minutes for the console to stop blinking and shutdown with steady red light (THIS ONLY WORKS ON NORS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)
Confirm if it boots (alternatively, if you have QA, DEX doesn't have QA when you do the button combo, so you can test it)
flash 3.55 DEX firmware by recovery
PS: If I'm not dead by the next 24 hours, you know where to find me
Note: Don't flash this, this belongs to my console, so I advise you not to flash, this is just for verifying only.
: You'll have to go digging for debug eboots though if you intend on playing anything that is not a retail game on your debug PS3. And those are not easily found. I don't think end-users will get much use out of it - for devs it's a totally different story though.
Below is also a video from
demonstrating Battlefield 3 running on the DEX BD Emulator via USB, who states that games work fine from the BD EMU or BD-R disc (using PS3Gen) without a decrypted/Debug EBOOT. However, PS3 games won't run from DVDs in the newer DEX Firmware.
A COD: MW3 on DEX PS3 (3.55 CEX to 4.11 DEX - BD Emulator HDD) video by
is below as well:
It also appears as though the newer PS3 SDKs will contain the necessary development tools and login information to access Sony's developer network (NP / SP-INT) as well:
The NP communication passphrase and signature will be provided within the Server Management Tools.
Details: NP communication ID, passphrase, and signature, required for certain PSN communication services, had been provided on the DevNet thread upon the completion of the requested PlayStation Network service configurations.
From 2012/07/05 the NP Communication Passphrase and Signature will be provided within the Server Management Tools.
This change affects all the communication IDs issued after 2012/07/05. It will not be possible to access the NP communication passphrase or signature in the support issued after that date.
Only those users who have initially requested the NP communication services and was provided the files on DevNet thread will have access to the file on the request threads.
Note that the NP communication passphrase and signature are required with NP Matching 2 and Title Small Storage.
PlayStation 3
: I have found a way to access SP-INT (or developer) PSN. Those who remember, this also worked a year ago until Sony had fixed it. It is now working again for existing users. Making a new account will not work, but existing users who have made SP-INT accounts last year when it had worked can sign in (for now).
Here is how to do it:
1) Install Rebug 3.55.2 CFW. Also install the latest update package (0.7)
2) Set it to Rebug mode in Rebug Selector. Set the Rebug Menu to #2.
3) Install SEN Enabler 4.21 to spoof the firmware to 4.21.
4) Go to Debug Settings and change NP environment to 'SP-INT'.
5) Reboot PS3.
6) The PS3 will attempt to sign in to your NP (retail) PSN account and it will give an error because your NP PSN will not work on developers PSN. Now you must sign in to your SP-INT account that you made last year. Making an new account will not work.
If anyone can somehow find a way to make an new account on SP-INT, please let us know. Thank you!

(via nwert.wordpress.com/2012/07/11/eeid-cryptography/) to quote:
eEID Cryptography
When metldr is encrypted at factory, a special keyset is set in the binary before encryption. Later when an isolated loader is loaded by metldr, it will copy the keyset to LS offset 0x00000. It consists of eid_root_key and eid_root_iv. To not having to use the same key for all eEID parts, several subkeys are generated from special data called individual information seed.
These seeds are stored in the metadata header of isolated modules loaded by isoldr. When isoldr will load a module, it will call a subroutine that encrypts each seed chunk (0x40 bytes) using eid_root_key and eid_root_iv. Then the so-called individual infos are passed in registers r7 to r22 (= 0x100 bytes in total) to the loaded module where they are used further.
Usually isolated modules have a seed section of 0x100 bytes but all of them (except sb_iso_spu_module) have all zeroes but the first 0x40 bytes chunk. You can, for example, find the recently published EID0 seed in the metadata section of aim_spu_module. Appliance info manager is used to get e.g. the target ID or the PSID from EID0. This explains why the seed can also be found in isoldr directly, since that one is checking EID0 too.
As you can probably think, a fair amount of reversing time and knowledge has gone into finding this, so stop calling us *swearwords* for not releasing information that could potentially lead to more piracy, because we think that this would do more harm to the "scene" than just keeping some information in private (for now).
Also I can only encourage everyone that thinks about us this way or is greedy demanding for developers/reverse engineers to release their stuff, to fire up isoldr in IDA or disassemble it with objdump and try to reverse all this from start to end. We'll see, who is able to pull this through on his own...
(via ps3crunch.net/forum/threads/4023-Method?p=45195#post45195): Here is some code if you all want to flash from petitboot: This is to R/W entire NOR or just the eEID section. Make sure to take a valid dump from gameOS as well so you can match both dumps also if you have a hardware flasher I highly advise you do, check that dump against the soft dumps to make 100% sure
How to W/R NOR from petiteboot:
READ NOR : dd if=/dev/ps3nflasha of=/tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/cexnor.bin bs=1024
WRITE NOR: dd if=dexnor.bin of=/dev/ps3nflasha bs=1024
READ eEID : dd if=/dev/ps3nflasha skip=$((0x2F000)) of=/tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/eid.bin bs=1 count=$((0x10000))
WRITE eEID: dd if=eid.bin.dex of=/dev/ps3nflasha bs=1 seek=$((0x2F000)) count=$((0x10000))
I'm not going to bother with the NAND because its a pain in the balls (and thats if you can even get it to work)
/tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/ is a flash dive formatted to ext4 in petitboot to make life easy when moving dumps around. you can always scp your files across also
: For the BD playback recovery on DEX you can also use the "drivefix" lv2diag.. it can be found in the original CEX-DEX leak by youknow..
I uploaded it here if needed:
Manual CEXDEX converted summary - what a thrill ride hehe... massive settings there... looking good haha:
What worked for me, thx everyone!!
put flashdex.bin on USB stick
chmod 777 /dev/sda
umount /dev/sda
mount /dev/sda /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda
type cd tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda
dd if=flashdex.bin of=/dev/ps3nflasha bs=1024
ENTER, blinking - for awhile... fck it broke... finally some output (in-out) and back to the prompt patience is a must
type ps3-flash-util -g to set/boot GameOS ( = emer init? not sure)
type pb-cui
Boot GameOS option in Petitboot
Boots normal into XMB feew lol...
QA combo not working as it should
Used Service Mode for final install using cex2dexkit files
replaced the 3.30 PUP with 355DEX alongside "lv2diag.self" from "setup" folder and put on USB stick
Put PS3 into FSM using dongle (pull cable out-dongle in-cable in)
Shutdown - Replaced dongle with USB stick ( setup Lv2Diag.self/PS3UPDAT.PUP
Boot Ps3 - Ps3 shutsdown
Replaced files with step3 "drivefix" (linked above) files on USB stick
Put USB into right slot
Boot PS3
On screen: Drive Init / Drive Init Fail - It needs a Original Blu-Ray movie like Remarry? and/or the 3.30 PUP to work? Please confirm anyone?
Pull power cable
Replaced USB files with "finalize" folder Lv2Diag.self file
Put into right slot and boot - Ps3 shuts down
PS3 boots a normal into DEX
All working except for blu-ray/dvd's = not working obvious... GAMES works fine, shame on me for not having one, need to rent one.. can someone verify it needs blu-ray and/or .30 pup thx
: Use mathieulh's leaked tools to get the required info, then use the new leaked algos to change it to DEX, flash back using Objsuites/FSM. You don't need a flasher or linux to do this. And don't let anyone tell you different!
a tool to decrypt/encrypt SIG files? Reverse what those SIG files in the math leak are doing.
Also, I recall theorizing that the serial number (yes, that sticker on the console) has something to do with PCK. All we need now is some brainiac to figure it all out (and release the info).
Actually to play PS3 3.60+ backups all you need to do is install an update for the game. Since DEX can't install retail PKG you have to downgrade to 3.55 DEX with peek and poke install the update and re upgrade.
Also ps3gen.exe will happily create image with the retail EBOOT, it just won't run because retail EBOOTs have the "run only from authenticated bd" capability flag; having installed an update for the game bypasses it.
(via ps3devwiki.com/wiki/User_talk:Lordv) to quote:
Instead of having an edit war could we discuss it on irc? I can prove that what you write here are (un?)intentional lies.
1) What do you mean retail functionality? You can restore dvd playback and ps store to name a few by some sprx copying and xml editing. Just unpack a dex fw for 3.55 and a cex fw for 3.55 and note the differences in sprx. Then just add the correct xml keys. For example for ps store add the #seg_commerce_new key to category_psn.xml.
Answer from
: You can't play blurays/dvds on 3.60+ DEX because you do not have the keys to craft a custom DEX firmware and the bd/dvd player app will check your console's idps target and see 0x82 and will fail one (of too many) check(s) and will issue an error code and not proceed. (not to mention 0x82 leads to an invalid region) I don't know/care about ps store but as far as I know, the DEX vsh.self will not display it
2) I did, however i can't prove it. Should you cex2dex and have latest dex fw you too will be able to sign in to PSN.
Answer from
: You can't because your idps is NOT in sony's database, as such it will not pass PSN authentication, there is nothing you can do to fake this, you would need to use a real debug idps, end of story.
3) Can't comment on that one but would very much like a statement from whoever wrote it.
Answer from
: This is obviously not true, however you CAN brick/ylod if you rebuild your EID wrong (the likeliness is high)
4) Do you want a video of it? Use ps3 generator tools to create a master disc or a usb image. Ever wondered what that item labeled Blu-ray Disc Access in Debug Settings did? Now you can find out.
Answer from
: The retail selfs are signed with special capabilities that make them only able to run from original discs (Masterdiscs != Original discs, lv2 can tell the difference) That's why you need decrypted selfs/fself to run games from masterdiscs or bdemu images, forget about running your "backups" (or should I say ,warez) Because ps3gen creates masterdiscs does not mean you can magically warez on the box. You can however play originals ! (I strongly advise you to start BUYING your games, (just saying))
5) Can't comment on that one.
Answer from
: I can comment that most of your so called affirmations are a bunch of BS. (in fact I just debunked most of them, feel free to try though and see for yourself.)
There's really no way to know if
is really the source or a leaker, as other devs in the circle may not know of or agree with his wishes to finally release it which may be why it was done anonymously.
If he is a leaker though, it would be the same as anything that gets leaked from the Rebug PSN passphrase for CFW users to the old R:FoM exploits, it benefits some for a period of time until Sony takes action and the next hole surfaces... although those cashing in on dongles may never admit it, it's called progress and is great for real PS3 scene developers not on the Max Louarn / Paul Owen payroll.

Maybe the photo doesn't do it justice but the shot of the dash makes it look cheap in my opinion. I still haven't seen a volt in person.
|Oct 06, 2012, 12:29 PM
It will be very interesting to know how much gasoline you actually end up having to buy over time and miles.
Interesting chart but there may be some true market distortion going on with government purchases being all the rage.
|Oct 06, 2012, 12:32 PM
I was against the interior before I was in favor of it - the original plan was a conservative all black leather with the dash in a dark grey. The decider thought it looked too much like a regular car and wanted to go wild - when a woman wants to go wild- I let them. It actually looks pretty good to me now.
|Oct 06, 2012, 12:47 PM
We have other vehicles that we keep for various reasons, but always lease my wifes car - there is usually some decent discount available and it is nice to have her in a new car - which we put the most miles on, and have no hassles with resale, repairs or anything.
For anyone interested in the actual mileage, gas used, etc. of these cars - there is a website that logs all the data - directly from the car's computer via Onstar (so there is no possible funny business in fudging the numbers)
There are people out there that have put 10,000+ miles on a single 9 gallon tank of gas!
On average the ratio is about 70% EV miles to 30% on gas.
|Oct 06, 2012, 12:51 PM
Has anyone come up with an actual number as to what it costs for a full charge? I am just curious. I saw one post where he tripped a breaker. That may have just been a GFI fault or may have been an overcurrent situation. If it is an overcurrent situation that would peg it at somewhere around 16 amps as a guess. Fairly hefty.

From what I understand the Volt is based on the Cruz platform. If so I've been there and done that at GM. A very long time ago I bought some un godly car because it looked neat. A two door hachback coupe that was supposed to come with a Wankel engine. It had either an /Buick or Oldsmobile badge on it. I had to get out of that car and do walk around all the time because that think drove so bad but looked so neat and I just couldn't figure this out. It came with a V6 that vibrated like a Harley.
Further investigation and I found out that the platform was based on a Vega. I stuck an ad in the paper a little more then a year out and sold it with no problem. Now this type of stuff happens to me all the time. The stories I could tell. I'm on an airplane on biz and a guy sits down next to me. He looks at me and says I bought a car from you. No says I. Yep it says it was a (waste it it was, and I said really.. He said he had it for a year and sold it to. Awlful. He wasn't mad , its was one of those mistakes in life with cars that happens all the time., but I was a bit embarrassed.
Now the Cruz is in the same junk class as the Vega as far as I'm concerned. GM has a long history of doing crap like this. I remember the v8 Diesel fiasco during another gas crisis. No way would I every go near GM again, Deloreans training ground. and now government motors.

currently I am at about $1.50 for a charge, when I get the 220V charger it will drop to 80 cents.
I didn't blow any breaker, my whole neighborhood went out for a couple hours... it wasn't me ! I swear! - yes the load is about 15A for both 120 and 220 chargers- the 220 is 3.3kW. Actually, calling the wall mounted parts "chargers" is a misnomer - the actual 3.3kW charger is built into the vehicle - the "charger" is just a safety device that links the car to the grid at the appropriate voltage.
|Oct 06, 2012, 02:24 PM
3.3KW at 120V is over 27 amps so a 120V 20 amp circuit would not hold for more than a few seconds at best. 15 amps at 120V would be 1,800 watts. FWIW
|Oct 06, 2012, 03:11 PM
The cost is different because, as explained above, the utility offers a reduced off-peak(night) rate of $.08/kWhr for the 220v charger vs the normal $.15/kWhr rate for the 120v system.

I keep hearing Toyota is going to market a plug in hybrid in 2013.

The idea could save some folks around here a lot of money, large metro area where people doing service call often do 100+ miles a day, if you could cut the first 40 miles off that with electricity, might even be able to charge a bit during lunch and add some more, the savings over a year would be remarkable.

Any thoughts on why my KA fridge might be leaking?
We bought a KA fridge a year ago via Sears Outlet. In perfect condition and worked perfectly since it was installed then, other than the fact that our pre-reno kitchen had no water line to the fridge so we simply didn't use those features. We are near the end of a renovation that has involved moving the fridge across a galley and close to the main water lines, and so the guys installed a line to the fridge a week ago. Since then we have daily puddles on our (new) hardwoods and underneath our (new) cabinets. Oy! The contractors came by yesterday insisting that it must be the fridge and disconnecting the water line. But there was still more puddling today. There is no water inside the fridge itself but there is some accumulated ice at the bottom of the freezer.
I realize it's a ridiculous shot in the dark, but I wondered if the GW experts might have any ideas on what could have gone wrong here. It seemed to take a weirdly long time when they installed the line and they brushed me off at first when I told them about the puddling. They have goofed a few other things so I'm a little dubious that all of a sudden our perfectly functioning fridge has sprung a leak. If I have to bring in an appliance repair person, any education on what this could be would be helpful. Thanks so much!
Here is a link that might be useful: This is my fridge
Some other people have complained about similar problems. It could be a clogged drain pan (especially with ice in the bottom). I am no expert, but I saw someone mentioned this problem (and similar related ones). One potential cause is shown in the video .
Here is a link that might be useful: Video on One Cause
Thanks so much for the suggestion! The contractor is trying to be helpful but is relying on his workers who say it can't be anything that they did. This sounds like reasonable possibility that we can at least investigate.
The worst part is that I had to travel this week for business so I'm halfway around the world, worrying about rot and mold in my overdue but finally almost finished new kitchen. Meanwhile my husband is trying to manage regular life & work with 2 crazy kids solo in a house still in disarray from the ongoing work.
@gooster, I bought a banquette based on the inspiration of your beautiful kitchen reveal, so perhaps you are my kitchen's guardian's angel! Thanks for pointing us to a potential cause!
I had same thing. The repair man said it was a clogged drain line. I don't really know what he meant, but he said he notched the drain line and it would not happen again. He said it was a "known issue" on Whirlpool company refrigerators. It warped the wood base of my brand new cabinets.
My guess is clogged drain line as well. In an auto defrost fridge and freezer ( most are that way these days) the fridge goes through a cycle that takes the moisture from inside the compartments, drains them through a drain tube into a pan, typically on the bottom of the fridge, and then a fan comes on and blows air over the standing water to evaporate it. For the OP, the drain was probably slightly clogged, the contractor unplugged the fridge to move it and it may have been unplugged a while, so when it was plugged in, it had a bit more moisture to channel through the drain lines, but since it was plugged in, the freezer came back on and froze some of the moisture in the drain into ice, from then on, the drain was plugged, and each time it went through the defrost cycle, more water was dumped on the floor. We did something similar by not fully closing the freezer door for a while- it allowed a ton of moisture from the defrosting ice to clog the drain.
Same fridge as my JennAir. Did the same thing. Known Whirlpool issue. My husband took it apart and fixed it. I can ask him exactly what he did if you want. Email me if you need any info. It's been perfect ever since.
By the way, it leaked on my hardwood floor, which cupped a bit, but after 3-6 months, it dries out and is perfectly flat again. (It took me awhile to figure out that it was the fridge leaking, as the dogs' water bowl is right next to the fridge, and I kept thinking that the dogs were spilling their water!)
We looked at this video when we had the problem, that convinced us that it was beyond the scope of what we non-DYIers were willing to do. The repair cost us around $60.
But when I was looking for the video this morning, I also noticed that there is an updated fix that involves a new part you can install. The video for that is here .
Just an update: our contractor arranged for a KA certified repairman to come today. As you all suspected, it was a clogged drain line. The repair guy said it was better to remove the gasket rather than notch it - he said it's a tight space and is near the compressor, so it tends to get plugged up from the heat and pressure. He said he's done this at least 100 times, on all models of bottom freezer refrigerators.
My contractor was very anxious to confirm it wasn't his fault. This all began after they installed the water line, so I was afraid there had been some mistake. It probably wasn't totally unrelated, since they kept the fridge in the kitchen throughout the demo but unplugged it repeatedly to move itmultiple times, frame it, and also to do a heavy up at the outset of the project. But it wasn't their error, clearly.
This being a high cost area, I paid $145 for the fix, but truthfully I'm glad it wasn't more! (not long ago a clogged washer drain wound up costing $1k just for the plumber - I'm pretty sure we were fleeced on that one!) Thanks so much to all of you for pointing me in the right direction!
Thanks for the followup, and glad you had a standup contractor. We often feel that somebody did something wrong , it was working perfectly before they got there, and instead it was probably the proverbial straw that broke the camels back. It was slightly clogged, and unplugging it a few times and plugging it back in was just enough to set it over the edge.

J and I went to dinner with some friends and explored the new Union Station here in Denver. I love anything vintage that has been made new and fresh again... I think the spirit of old things stay with us and there's a certain energy there that can't be duplicated. This is the same reason I love old hotels, old cars, and vintage accessories.
Union Station is a mix of travelers with headphones, waiting for their next train. People of all ages enjoying the great restaurants and shops tucked inside. Young people in chic outfits heading upstairs to the the secret bar, Cooper Lounge.
I wore one of my favorite outfits - a sheer blouse and skinny jeans with heels. If I had only looked at this blouse online I never would have purchased it, but on the body it becomes so airy and delicately sexy. It's my new favorite top. It's just sheer enough that you can see the outline or texture of a really sexy bra underneath... I wore a soft pink La Perla bra and you could just make out the slightest hint of lace.
I also have been really impressed with Alex and Ani's new Spring collection... I'm wearing a tassel necklace and stack of bracelets from them above. I've linked all the pieces I'm wearing in the slide down below.
Happy Monday!!

Does anyone on this forum grow their own hops? I would like to try, but I don't know where to get plants/seeds in my area. I will have to ask next time I am down at my local homebrew shop.
For those of you that have grown before, were they hard to get started? Did you harvest after the first year? What varieties did you grow?
This was my first year growing hops but I actually got a bit of a yield from two of the four varieties I was growing. I think this year is going to be a good one. I am growing Goldings, Northern Brewer, Centennial, and Willamette. Decide the varieties you are looking for first and then see if your local brew shop has the rhizomes available. You can order them over the Internet as well. In Washington they tend to come available around March. I got my Northern Brewer variety from Oregon and was even sent some instructions on how to plant it. It is very easy and there are also many books available on the subject.
The Homebrewer's Garden by Joe and Dennis Fisher is a great source of information about growing your own hops. They include information about watering, soil pH, where to site your hopyard, how to make trellising and good information on various pests and diseases you may have to deal with.

It only takes one to DJ. I saw Kraftwerk at Ultra Miami 2012 and I also wondered what the other 3 were doing. Excellent performance though.
not all performances need to melt your face off. seems only fitting they should conduct so.
Kraftwerk is Devo 2.0
Dunk them in blue paint and the result is Blue Man Group.
This cold, plastic, emotionless, pantomine clone future is depressing.
Let history judge them: Kraftwerk vs The Beatles.
I dunno if I'm too old, or too young, or something in between. But goodness, the kraftwerk video on the tate site was silly. I felt like I was watching a nintendo try to be sexy.
IMHO, articles on plays, shows and concerts should include references to related material at reach of all readers. In this case, there is a 2005 dvd "Minimum maximum". The dvd is fine to meet the retro-futuristic aesthetics and nice tunes of the band, but, again IMHO, the essence of Kraftwerk lies in one of their LPs of the seventies: dry, perfectly engineered structures for nostalgic moods.
"Autobahn"... good vinyl...
They aren't "podiums". They are lecterns. A podium is something that one stands ON, not behind.
And I thought I was one of the last few in the world to make that distinction!
"podium" is a synonym for "lectern" in North American English (http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/podium), but I've tweaked the text to remove any possible confusion. Thanks for reading.
Typical Taleb antifragility; no theory or dogma, merely the practice, FIngerspitzengefuehl.
Isn't it "fingerspitzgengefuehl"? I may be wrong - I never learned to spell it, having learned it from a Norwegian in Bassersdorf (swiss-german is different....)

Your true colours revealed - for a fee: Choosing clothes used to be a matter of taste. Now the right 'season' is all. Naseem Khan remains sceptical
Monday 07 June 1993
Little did I know that I would find myself in the realm of shoulder pads, colour coding and leather chequebook covers. But tourists, I told myself, should keep their mouths shut and their eyes open and they might learn something. I certainly did, but whether it was worth knowing is a different matter.
Other people's judgement of us is based 53 per cent, it seems, on appearance and 38 per cent on voice, the tutor said. A neat, trim woman with alarming shoulder pads, she explained that actual words were unimportant. They accounted for a mere 7 per cent.
These are not facts to be trifled with, and the group cowered under their force. Clairol, the cosmetics firm, she continued, the light of messianic battle in her eye, once undertook an experiment. It 'made over' a number of women and sent photographs to firms showing them before and after the treatment. In what income bracket, Clairol asked, would the firms place these people if they were applying for jobs? The 'crisp executive' look consistently came out on top.
The group was silent as the impact of the facts sank in. A shaken young woman whispered that she had just spent pounds 1,000 on new clothes. It was an act of desperation: she had been made redundant a number of times and was determined to do the right thing in the job she now held. Could it be, by some awful stroke of fate, that she chose the wrong clothing? Maybe the message her new wardrobe gave was: 'Sack me again'. The possibility of failure, derision and ostracism loomed.
Authority was the name of the game, the instructor said encouragingly. She listed the items we should pay attention to: belts, jewellery, buttons, briefcases. We noticed people, didn't we, who signed the cheque at Sainsbury with a leather-bound chequebook? 'That says you're going somewhere,' she said.
And above all, jackets. How many of us did not wear jackets to work - the essential armour of the working woman? A few in the group muttered that they did, but several shuffled their feet. (Buy jacket, I wrote down obediently.)
She gave us examples of the power of appearance: the home economics tutor who could not control her pupils. She bought a jacket and, bingo, you could have heard a pin drop in her classroom; the hospital complaints officer who was mercilessly harried by impatient people. Her assertiveness problems vanished when she dressed with authority.
Look, said the tutor, she would demonstrate. And she proceeded to 'de-rank' herself, discarding jacket, high heels, chunky jewellery, belt, make-up. To my eyes, she looked much nicer, with a more natural form of assurance.
Colour was her next target. I'd always thought I was good with colours - olive green mixed with sharp emerald and maroon and orange give me a thrill. I had also thought the colours people chose should be determined by common sense and a simple liking for them. Far from it.
The world, in fact, is divided into four colour types that go by the names of the seasons. Individuals have a spectrum of diverse colours that suits their appearance and from which they stray at their peril.
The instructor started to demonstrate on eager participants, holding alternate scarves in different colours under their chins. A tall, dignified black woman turned out to be a 'winter' person. What a relief, she sighed. They were the colours she chose anyway. She was a single parent and could not afford to buy new clothes. The pounds 1,000 anti-redundancy wardrobe also, thank goodness, more or less passed muster.
The group was now transfixed. There is something comforting about rules. Follow them and success will follow. They make sense of the arbitrary nonsense that is life. (Buck the rules and who knows what will
Notebooks out, we prepared to take down the 20 pitfalls facing the working woman. She should not wear ankle chains, nor should she have hairy legs, double-pierced ears or pop socks. Hang on a minute . . . ankle chains? When had I last seen a woman wearing ankle chains to work? Or with over-long, over-red fingernails (pitfall 8), chewing gum (11) or wearing over-tight, over-short clothes?
Were we really paying pounds 51 for this? Doubts persisted. I noticed, for instance, that only one of this small group was of English origin. Significant perhaps? However, docilely, I wrote on: Italians and Japanese spend a third of their income on clothes, while the Brits spend only 2.2 per cent. Discard wire coat hangers from the dry cleaners.
I wondered if Cinderella had abandoned her wire coat hangers and had her colours done? Maybe if she had gone to the ball in the wrong colours, the prince would have waltzed off into the sunset with one of the Ugly Sisters. Perhaps her unswerving faith in herself would have carried the day, even if her shortsighted godmother had wrongly kitted her out as spring, and as a dramatic (one of six basic personality types) and not an ingenue.
Clearly I was alone with my reservations. The day ended and the instructor packed away her glorious wheels of coloured fabrics, lipsticks and blushers.
The only sound from my companions was the ripping of cheques torn out to pay for the cost of further private consultations. It gave a new meaning to the phrase 'buying power'.

"This thing was in front of 270 Park for most of the day? When will it end?!"
Tim Geithner Getting Crap For Trying To Save A Little Cash, Maybe Helping A Friend Get A Job
Around these parts, we've talked about Tim Geithner's housing troubles at length. The Treasury Secretary and his wife Carole bought a Larchmont Tudor in 2004 for $1.602 million. Then buddy boy got a gig in DC and they tried to sell it March for $1.635 million. When that didn't take, the price was dropped to […]
Confidential To Jamie Dimon: Guy Standing Outside 277 Park Ave Circa Now Has One Simple Request
"Interview me." Apparently his board also specifies that he's looking for a gig in investment banking but, you know, beggars, choosers, etc. Will JD throw him a bone? I'd like to think so but I guess we'll have to wait and see. Update:
JPMorgan Wasn't Just Kidding When It Told Traders To Leave Building, Not Come Back
As previously mentioned, JPMorgan began "swinging the ax on prop traders, starting with energy group," which cut about 40 heads, two weeks ago. In case there was any doubt– sometimes employers like to play elaborate practical jokes on people–, today the Journal confirms those firings.
People are reportedly prettay prettay pleased at the House of Dimon this morning.
The new JPMorgan analysts smile for their class picture this morning.

Prop Cuts Going Down Circa Now At JPMorgan?
The House of Dimon has allegedly begun "swinging the ax on prop traders, starting with energy group" with "around 40 people gone so far."
Mike Mayo Doesn't Think JPMorgan's That Great
For the most part, you can't swing a BD without knocking into someone who would rate Jamie Dimon on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "love that guy" 10 being "I've built a shrine to his cock at my desk." Notice I said "FOR THE MOST PART." Last week a guy on Facebook […]
Here's Why Sean Michael Carey Wants You To Punch Jamie Dimon In The Balls
Yesterday a fellow named Sean Michael Carey started a Facebook group called "Punch Jamie Dimon (CEO of JPMorgan Chase) in the Balls," the stated purpose being exactly that. He didn't say why he wanted someone to inflict harm on JD's (glorious, possibly cup-protected) sack, only that after doing so, you should add "Sean Michael Carey […]
JPMorgan Bosses Take Road Less Traveled When Dealing With Problem Employee
When Kevin Dillon started working for JPMorgan in March 2008 as a "client processing specialist," everybody liked him just fine. Better than fine, in fact. He was praised by his superiors, he received glowing reviews and in just a few months time, he was slated to receive a bonus and a promotion. This was all, […]
Who Will Be The Next To Run JPMorgan?
Jamie Dimon has only narrowed it down to three (Doug Braunstein, Mike Cavanagh, and Heidi Miller) but Miller is seen as a front runner, due to the fact that she takes no shit, or prisoners, especially from JD. "This is someone who has the capability of staring Jamie Dimon down, so that's obviously served her […]
Goldman Beat By JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, DE Shaw, And Random Fashion Chick
The men, women and vampire squids at Goldman Sachs posses a lotta talent among them. Many of them can tie a maraschino cherry stem into a knot in under ten seconds. They pioneered the buddy system between the prime brokerage and prop desk so as to maximize front-running of clients. A not insignificant number of […]
Confidential To Brian Moynihan, The White House Is Just Using You To Rankle Jamie Dimon
Time was, Jamie Dimon was referred to as "Obama's favorite banker." And for a while, he really was! And why shouldn't he be? He's a lifelong Democrat, he basically put Obama in office, he attended the 3-day inauguration in support of his guy. He's extremely good-looking. He loves universal healthcare. He's got charm and charisma […]
Watch Out Jamie, Crisis Commission is Gunning For You
Charles, in an "undisclosed location," reporting:
Chase bank will lose ample assets if it cans the "too hot" Debrahlee Lorenzana. Customers at the bank's Williamsburg, Brooklyn, branch said yesterday that they'd take their business elsewhere if Chase fires her for talking about her lawsuit against her previous employer Citibank. "It's bad and it's not fair. She should be allowed to talk, […]
Did Jamie Dimon Give Senator Gillibrand A Piece Of His Mind?
According to Charlie Gasparino, in between telling Debrahlee Lorenzana to zip the lip, the CEO of JPMorgan's had another broad to deal with. This time the topic wasn't about mouth-running or Citi or asses or Vikram but it got just as wild. FOX Business has learned that JPMorgan officials, all the way from lobbyists to […]
Jimmy Lee: Credit Markets are "Wide Open"
Jimmy Lee, JPMorgan's legendary dealmaker, just finished up CNBC's new show, Strategy Session. Not only did he say the credit markets "are wide open," but up to $10 billion in debt is now available for an LBO, provided it sits on top of about $5 billion in equity and is, of course, the right kind of company.
Jamie Dimon Would Like "Too Hot For Citi" Chick To Put A Sock In It
Last Wednesday (really, it was just last Wednesday), the world was introduced to Debrahlee Lorenzana, the woman claiming she was fired from her job as a "business banker" at Citi for being too hot. Her former employer allegedly told her to tone down said hotness by wearing clothes that didn't highlight what her lawyer, Jack […]
Double Icing For House Of Dimon Traders
Their colleague reports from the scene: "After a JP Morgan softball game last night we went to a bar on on the Upper East. One guy showed up late and asked to have waiting for him upon his arrival 'a water, a beer, and a Jäger bomb.'"
Ace Greenberg Has Some Advice He'd Like To Share
It comes via his new book, The Rise And Fall Of Bear Stearns, and whether you're a young whippersnapper who doesn't know shit or an octogenarian who's lost his way, you'd be wise to to listen to the guy. It was sixty-one years ago that I left Oklahoma City. But it seems like yesterday that […]
Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein Moving Up In The (MBA) World
The president may not appreciate them but you know what? Screw that guy. JD and LB don't need him when they've got the votes of MBA Candidates. CNN Money's annual ranking of the top companies business students want to work for is out and apparently these kids want a piece of James D and his […]
