KeyCleaner

[Chilly Willy]

KeyCleaner v1.4

http://exophase.com/images/psp/keyclean.jpg

A new, easy to use app to show the state of the IdStorage in your PSP, and make corrections to common problems caused by the old downgraders (TA-082/86 only). Will dump keys as well.

EDIT: 2007/09/16 v1.4 releared. This update adds key 0x45 to the list of keys it'll fix. It also creates missing keys before fixing them. It now properly identifies and analyzes the PSP Slim.

EDIT: 2007/09/08 v1.3 released. This update fixes a few things found in v1.2, fixes more individual keys, adds cleaning to TA-079/81 PSPs, allows unpatching key 5, and allows the color scheme to be changed.

EDIT: 2007/09/03 v1.2 released. Major rewrite, easier than ever to use, no external keys needed, can create keys if needed (for hard-downed PSPs), and the colors are inverted to make it easier on the eyes.

EDIT: 2007/04/07 v1.1 released. Cleanups and support for different region PSPs.

In case folks are wondering, I did all my testing on a TA-082 that originally had 2.60 on it. I've run IdStorageChanger so many times the last day it's not silly. :) After fixing my own keys, I then reran both the original idstoragechanger from the 2.71 DG, and the 2.80 NOOBZ DG. I also tested with USBHOSTFS-FIX, and my own idreset.

About the only thing I haven't been able to check is region info... hopefully we'll get more info on that as more people all over use it, then we'll make changes if any are needed for different region PSPs. The best way to handle that at the moment is to use keys from the same region as your own when fixing with key files on the memstick.

What exactly are "Keys" and as long as I use the ability to fix keys without reffering to the memory stick, is there any chance of brick? Under what circumstances could I brick my psp?

[Chilly Willy]

What exactly are "Keys" and as long as I use the ability to fix keys without reffering to the memory stick, is there any chance of brick? Under what circumstances could I brick my psp?

The keys are various settings stored in the flash. They are mostly low-level stuff that concerns the operation of things like the USB and WLAN. Screwing up the keys can result in the USB not working quite right, the WLAN hanging, brightness issues, or low battery issues.

Generally, you don't want to mess with the keys. TA-082/86 PSPs need one key to be modified in order to run the 1.5 kernel. Old downgraders messed with more than that one key, so KeyCleaner was made to help clean things up if you ran one of the old downgraders on a TA-082/86.

The new corruption-free downgraders alter the one key, leaving the others alone. You don't need to worry about KeyCleaner if you don't have a TA-082/86, or if you used one of the corruption-free downgraders on a TA-082/86.

The one case we KNOW WILL BRICK the PSP is if you have a TA-082/86 running 1.5 (or one of the custom firmwares) and you put an original copy of key 5 back in key 5. The PSP will then hang when the 1.5 fw IPL runs. KeyCleaner will never write a plain key 5 to key 5... it ALWAYS modifies key 5 so that it is patched so that 1.5 will work.

However, there may be other things no one knows about that could cause a brick if you wrote garbage to another key (say you wrote random garbage to key 4 or 6). Hence the warning.

I got "bad key 0x0043" after... That right?

[XsavioR]

yeah just means you need a .43 backup. The auto fix does not fix one of two keys 6 or 43

[spanishnugz]

ok... So my name is Phillip.. I have a brand new PSP I JUST bougth yesterday from my local game store...now, I downgraded using the "corrupt-free" downgrader and when it finished I was on 1.5.. (not problems right?) any way, I went on from there to CF 3.03 OE-C right, and when I booted my Metal Gear Solid Portable OPS. off my memory stick, it crashed to black...all the other four games I backed up (by the way these are all legit back-up CSO's from games I bought legally) they loaded fine... its to my understanding that I i followed the "new" downgrader to the T instruction - wise I would not encounter this. If I run this fix.. will it fix all my keys necessary to run my back-ups? Im not experiencing brightness issues per-say.. my friend has 3.03 OE-c on a non TA-82 and his Metal Gear runs just fine.... I have everything working except Metal Gear, GTA VCS and LCS.... initially all I wanted was for these 3 to work.. I have like alomost everything you can think of on my new PSP (the one I had befor this 1 had the same trouble except I used the "old 2.71 TA-82 downgrader and was booting back-ups to a black screen as well, which is why I used my warranty and told the game store guy it was intermittently crashing to black and used my warranty to get a new 1 only to find out im back @ square 1 again! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASe shed some light on as to where to go from here and/or what to do ... should I return this 1 too and use the "new" downgrader and then use the "key fix" or should I just run it now on 3.03 OE-C? Please guys I am begging you for your advice here... I am VERY devoted to all this and what you guys do is amazing!!! I am so happy for all of us right now as to all these recent breakthroughs have slapped a big ol' smile on all us gamers faces ...I mean that and I thank you for ALL of your hard work and efforts. Just want some knowledgable advice as to where to go from here... please..

Thanks for getting technical with me. (no sarcasm intended) So basically If i run the safe key cleaner that doesnt read from the memory stick I shouldn't have a chance to brick right?

8-)

There's no such message in KeyCleaner. If you used one of the Corruption-Free downgraders, the keys are fine.

Not being able to play certain ISOs is common on various custom firmwares and has NOTHING to do with the keys.

Please consult a thread on ISO compatibility... maybe others have run mods on the file to get it to work... maybe they use it with a UMD disc in the PSP (no-UMD doesn't work for all ISOs).

So basically If i run the safe key cleaner that doesnt read from the memory stick I shouldn't have a chance to brick right?

Correct. However, if you just use reasonable precautions in getting keys, you shouldn't have to worry about bricking either. The one sure-fired way to brick is prevented by KeyCleaner.

Hi, Chilly Willy...

I have a TA-082 psp 1001 wich downgraded from 2.6 --> 2.71 --> 1.5--> 3.03OE C

I have the battery issue. When i reach 12% or less (The Green led start flashing) and i turn my psp off, the only way i can turn it on, is by reconecting the psp to an AC adaptor. This however not happen when i just hibernate my psp...

I have run the Keycleaner program... but with no results on this issue.

Previously to run this i have run the following :

USBHostFIx
idreset-v7
Id repair (from codes02)

In fact when i ran the Keycleaner program, it recognize that i have ran the codes02, and told me to fix key05.

Any ideas on this issue? I still have this problem...


Thank you!

Thank you!

The battery issue is normally fixed by restoring key 4. KeyCleaner doesn't checksum the keys at this time, so it might say okay when the key is not really okay. It currently does a minimal check to identify the key. It's possible your key 4 is whacked. Dump your keys and check key 4 against what is in HarleyG's doc...

http://harleyg.net/docs/idstorage.txt

If your key 4 is the same as there, I wouldn't have any idea what the problem is. There are still many unknowns in this area, and better folks than I are still looking into it.

Even though I got a no questions asked replacement warrenty on my PSP I'm very cautious on brickin it. My question is how high of a chance do I have to bricking my PSP using this?

[Chilly Willy]

Even though I got a no questions asked replacement warrenty on my PSP I'm very cautious on brickin it. My question is how high of a chance do I have to bricking my PSP using this?

Practically zero. As I said before, the one way KNOWN to brick is completely prevented by KeyCleaner. You'd probably have to spend all day messing with garbage in various other keys to find another way to brick. It's almost impossible to inadvertantly brick with KeyCleaner.

I spent a couple hours using various combinations of the 2.71 idstoragechanger, the 2.80 idstoragechanger, USBHOSTFS-FIX, idcopy, and idreset with three sets of different keys, and my TA-082 is still running fine. I do what I can to test my stuff on my own PSP, and had two other people beta test KeyCleaner after I was satisfied with my testing, so I'm satisfied with it's reliability.

The only part I couldn't test was alternate region PSPs where key 0x45 is different. KeyCleaner currently shows non-US key 0x45's as "unknown". An update later will take care of that, but it shouldn't affect the rest of KC's ability to cleanup the keys.

[TimTiger]

Thanks, I just ran it and it works great.

Great Info... Thanks...

I have one question though...

My keys 4 and 6 are exactly like Haleyg's. Key 5 however differs. And that's the key that KEycleaner repaired...

Could this key be the problem?

My actual key have the following values :

986B6C430100000001000000CAD9E39B
0A000000000000000000000000000000

Harleyg have the following :

67 68 6C 43 01 00 00 00-01 00 00 00 CA D9 E3 9B
0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Why is that difference?

Should i try to change ky 5 to Harleyg values without any risk of bricking?

HarleyG's dump there is the method codes02 used to patch key 5... changing 67 6B 6C 43 into 67 68 6C 43. The method I use to patch key 5 is to simply invert the first byte, so I change 67 6B 6C 43 into 98 6B 6C 43.

Either method is fine for making key 5 run 1.5 properly. KeyCleaner just converts the codes02 change into my change to try to keep it the same as all the "corruption-free" downgrader packages XsavioR and I put together.

Ok sorry forgot to say this before many thanks Chilly, was a big fan of your cartoons too 8). You got your own website I could look at?

Is there a list of what these code do and or what is 43?

No web site yet... you can find a bunch of info over in the Hacking forum at lan.sh. That's where most of the info used in KeyCleaner came from.

[BaDaPpLe]

I ran this originaly because of this 12% AC issue. That is fixed and working great now Thanks. I do however now have a new problem. My psp only seems to charge while in the XMB. If the power is at anything but full and I run say psp radio as soon as the app runs the led light turns from orange to green. Sigifying its no longer changing. It will run all night ill wake up light is still green bat is at 38%. I then exit psp radio and back to xmb and the light will go back to orange and the bat charge meter will begin to blink. It does this evey time now since i ran key cleaner. So basicly what im trying to say is the psp no longer charges if its in use. (Other then idle in XMB)

Any ideas? comments suggestions :) Thanks

UPDATE: This only occurs when the wifi kicks on during a app. If its a regular app or game with no wifi it will charge fine and normal.

As soon as the wifi loads up and led turns green it forces the battery chage light to also turn green and stop charging.. pspradio and pspweather is what I used to make it fail.

Will also fail when using the webbrowser in the XMB

[greatpenis2]

UPDATE: This only occurs when the wifi kicks on during a app. If its a regular app or game with no wifi it will charge fine and normal.
psp can't be charged, while wifi is on. it is hardware restriction. afaik, some mb revision CAN be charged, while wifi is on.

[BaDaPpLe]

Well I used to be able to charge while pspradio was running, be4 I fixed the keys that it.

[Chilly Willy]

Well I used to be able to charge while pspradio was running, be4 I fixed the keys that it.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if there were a setting in the keys that Sony set to tell the PSP not to charge while the wifi is on... so by "breaking" the keys, people could bypass that restriction, and by "fixing" the keys, you're stuck with Sony's restrictions again. :-D

I guess that's something to experiment with... maybe we can find where that option is set and make an app to control it's value.

[XsavioR]

Tested v1.1 on my 86 w key 8
~recorrupted idstorage with 2.71 dg utilities
~fixed using square w/o files option
~fixed resulting missing 43 bin from backup
~hard boot
Success


Chilly Also tested on 82
2.71 idstoragechanger
2.71 idsc + idreset
2.71 idsc + USBHOSTFS-FIX
2.80 idsc
2.80 idsc + idcopy


We have no way to test the regional improvements. But as a consolation running it shouldnt leave you with any issues that cant be fixed if any issue did present it self.

thank you chilly willy

my psp is 1007(taiwan)

in the v1.1 ,key45 is only include 1000\1001\100?\1004\1006,would 1007 in the next version?

i have a questions:

when i run v1.0,the first screen said :codes02 soft-down psp , alternative region, after fix ,it said:chilly willy alternative region.but when i run v1.1 today ,it said unrecongized key.

i think 1007 is not include is the "unrecongized key" reason .

so i wonder if 1007 would add in the next version, and if there is 1007 in the new version , would i fix my key45 to the original(1007) key.i think my key45 had been patched to other region.


thank you again

looking forward to your new release!

I can only support what is known... so dump the keys on your 1007 and post the first four bytes (in hex) of key 0x045. If your key 0x45 had been patched to another region, KC 1.1 would have recognized it. If it says it's unknown, it's obviously something different from what I already know. :-D

Hmm... too bad. Oh, well, maybe we'll get lucky and someone else with a stock 1007 will report their 0x45 value. I'll keep an eye out for the info. An update would be easy to make once the info is known.

Hi Chilly Willy, I have a question. Well I downgraded my TA-082/86 (dunno which exactly..) from version 2.71 and I have the battery issue, when it reaches 12% and turn off the unit, it wont turn on until i connect the AC adapter.

Also I've noticed something that I think shouldn't happen, it concerns wireless play, when I play, say, Initial D: Street Stage with my PSP and my brother's (his psp is not a TA082), we both notice that the rival car kind of 'stutters', as if it was lagging or something... very annoying :( It also happens with pretty much every game, such as Ridge Racers 2, GTA: VCS and LCS, etc... mostly 'fast paced' multiplayer games.

Do you think that KeyCleaner can fix this problem?
Also, is it possible to make a backup of my current keys to restore them if things get worse when I use the program?

Thanks and have a nice day :)

Fixing the keys fixes the battery problem for many people. I doubt the wireless problem is related to the keys, but you never know...

KeyCleaner allows you to dump the keys. It's recommended you do so before and after fixing the keys for safety's sake. When you run KeyCleaner, you'll notice on the main screen that it says to press the SQUARE button to dump the keys. When you do so, it asks you to press X to confirm, then makes a directory called "keys" in the KeyCleaner folder with all the keys in it. If the "keys" folder already exists, it renames it and then makes a new keys folder.

[TuncaCeleste]

Your program fixed COMPLETELY the stuttering from Initial D: Street Stage, it now looks as smooth as the 1P game!!!111 I'm so glad I found this app, the greatest, every TA082/86 user should use it.

I have yet to test it with other games, I'm gonna try Burnout Dominator now, but it should work :D

Oh yeah, I have also yet to test the 12% battery issue, I'll probably post the results

It looks like codes02 fixer missed a couple keys... 42 and 46 should be cleared. I'm attaching an arc with keys 42 and 46... there can't possibly be any copyright issues with THESE keys as there is NOTHING in them. Unzip the folder into the KeyCleaner folder, press X to fix keys, press X to fix keys using memstick, press X to select the clear_keys folder (press O to skip any other folders in KeyCleaner until you get to clear_keys), then press X again to confirm fixing the keys. When it's done, the keys should all be fine.

The next update to KC, I'll add recognition of codes02 fixer to it, and bundle the clear keys so that people can fix it immediately.

OK, testing done, now I can turn on my PSP when the battery is below 12% !!

Simply awesome. Thanks a BUNCH again, sir.

OK, testing done, now I can turn on my PSP when the battery is below 12% !!

Simply awesome. Thanks a BUNCH again, sir.

Btw, I have a question, is it possible that further custom updates 'damage' my keys? Or is it just the downgrader that messes with them?

It was the idstorage changer that was part of the 1.5 downgrader that messed with the keys. No custom firmware upgraders mess with the keys, so after they are fixed, upgrading won't break them again. But that's why XsavioR and I put together "corruption-free" downgraders for 2.71, 2.80, and 3.03.

hi...i have psp 1001 (japan) 2.71 downgraded to 1.5 then to 3.03-OEC. Used the DA downgrader and I am having the 12% batt issue....

would it be okay to run the KeyCleaner fix first or run the IDfix first and then KeyCleaner the last?

please shed some light on this..

KeyCleaner v1.1

http://exophase.com/images/psp/keyclean.jpg

A new, easy to use app to show the state of the IdStorage in your PSP, and make corrections to common problems caused by the old downgraders (TA-082/86 only). Will dump keys as well.

EDIT: 2007/04/07 v1.1 released. Cleanups and support for different region PSPs.




Hello Chilly Willy, my Englishman excuses since I am of spain, I have a psp metallic blue TA-086 psp 1000 japan, I made 3.03 the downgrader to 1.50 1.50 3.0.3OEA-c, I have problems of sheen(brightness) on having executed the homebrew, my results are these:
0x0004=original key-okay 0x0005=copy of original key 0x0004 0x0006=copy of original key 0x0005 0x0008=original key-okay 0x0041=original key-okay 0x0042=cleared key-okay 0x0043=original key-okay 0x0045=unknown status 0x0046=cleared key-ok 0x0047=original key-ok, key state:noobz soft-downed+idcopy.
The program advises me to fix from the memory stick, but I do not have a dump of the TA-086 already corrected. Serious so nice of me sending it.

If I you sending(parcel) the dump of the keys your serious so nice of arranging and to return them to send?

Thank you very much

[mellon]

First of all congratulation for this great app..

But I have some questions about this app and the IDStorage:

Which is the difference between fixing keys using files in the memstick and fixing the corrupted or bad keys whitout using this files (the SQUARE option)???
If we use the second way for fix the keys, why it won't clear all the bad/corrupted keys??? And which keys it won't clear???


In the other hand, if we use the first way (using the files) what dumps we should use?? If we have a TA-082 we must use a un-corrupted dumps of another TA-082?? Or we can use a dump of whatever PSP mobo??? Or it is different for each key??


- Sorry if the answer for some questions is in some reaply of this thread, my english is bad, and perhaps I haven't could find it.


Regards and thanks

[greatpenis2]

@mellon
this utility can't fix keys which are destroyed during downgrade. this is why you need to copy these keys from memstick. square can only repair keys which are present in the idstorage, but placed in the incorrect locations.

ps. thank you for your great work, chilly willy!

If you run codes02's ID fixer, it'll leave you with two keys that need clearing. There's a arc of the two clear keys on the previous page that can be used with KeyCleaner to fix up after running idfixer.

Ok, thanks

But how can I know, which bad keys can I fix without the dump and which I must do with the dump??

Which is the message that appears next to the key for each case??

Hello first to be grateful for your help to you, I have spent(passed) the program with the keys TA-086 and continue having the problem of the sheen(brightness), this(this one) it is the result:

key 5 = patched key
key 6 = ok
key 8 = ok
key 41 = ok
key 42 = cleared
key 43 = ok
key 45 = ok
key 46 = cleared
key 47 = ok

The key 5 patched has now this value:
98 6b 6C 43 01 00 00 00-01 00 00 00 CA D9 E3 9B
0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
When the correct thing serious:
67 68 6C 43 01 00 00 00-01 00 00 00 CA D9 E3 9B
0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I did the copya of the fix from the memory stick and now the program says to me that it is not a necessary patche.
Since I can change the values again into the key 05.?

I've used the original noobz downgrader to downgrade a White fw2.81 PSP-1006 (Singapore). I did the usual thing, update to 3.03, use GTA to enable HEN, run Update Flasher and went down to 1.5. Went up to 3.10 OE-A then A2 and after that, I used your v1.0 to fix the keys without using memstick. And then I saw your v1.1, then I checked the keys again with v1.1 and this shows:

4 - original key - okay
5 - patched key - okay
6 - copy of original key 0x0005
8 - original key - okay
41 - original key - okay
42 - cleared key - okay
43 - original key - okay
45 - original key - okay
46 - cleared key - okay
47 - original key - okay

I couldn't remember what it said when I was using v1.0 and I didn't dump the keys, but I remembered one was unknown, and it patched/fixed some keys and finally resulted in this. How can I fully fix the keys and did v1.0 caused any problems (regional)?

The original value of key 5 there is 67 6b 6c 43. codes02 changed it to 67 68 6c 43, while my patch simply inverts the first byte, making it 98 6b 6c 43. Either one will work fine. KeyCleaner changes codes02 patched key 5's into my format to bring then in line with the corruption-free downgraders XsavioR and I put together. Having one verses the other will make no difference in the operation of the PSP.

Brightness issues on new PSPs that have a key 8 are due to the display libraries, not the keys. The "fix" shown on lan.sh for that is to replace the display libs in the 1.5 firmware with the display libs from the newer firmware. This is not a fix for beginners.

You can make a key 6 using a hex editor and the idstorage text file from harleyg.

http://harleyg.net/docs/idstorage.txt

The key 6 in the text file there is the same as every dump I've seen from TA-082/86 PSPs from several regions.

Since you used the 3.03 downgrader, all the keys but 4, 5, and 6 were left alone, so they should all still be fine. KeyCleaner only copies 5 to 4, and 6 to 5 when you choose to fix without files and the PSP had been downgraded using the NOOBZ method. That's why it now says everything is fine except 6. 6 wasn't saved by the NOOBZ idstorage changer and therefore needs to be restored from a file.

Hi,

first of all, thank you very much for your work. I've been reading a lot about Idstorage since I downgraded my PSP, and I've paid attention to your work. I think this is the definitive Idstorage Fixer.

I've run the patch (version 1.1), it says that my key state was original soft-downed, I fixed without using memory stick, and it fixed every key but 0x0043. Now my state is:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x0004 - original key - okay
0x0005 - patched key - okay
0x0006 - original key - okay
0x0008 - no key
0x0041 - original key - okay
0x0042 - cleared key - okay
0x0043 - cleared key - okay
0x0045 - original key - okay
0x0046 - cleared key - okay
0x0047 - original key - okay

Key state: Chilly Willy soft-downed TA-082/86 - bad key 0x0043
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please, can you tell me what should I do to fix all the keys on my PSP? It's a 1004, TA-082 PSP that came originally with 2.71 firmware. I think I have to fix keys from memory stick using a 0x0043 original key.

Thank you very much for your time.

Thanks for solving that key 6 problem on my white PSP as it didn't belonged to me. It was a friend's and I was asked to downgrade it for him. For my other TA-082 PSP, I've got the same issue as gonzo's after using KC v1.1 on it. It's a PSP-1000 Jap set (but made in china). It was downgraded to 1.5 from 2.71 using the first-gen TA-082 downgrader for 2.71 and it's like mentioned by gonzo. Key 43 is a cleared, but bad key.

Without any files, KeyCleaner will fix all but one key, either 0x43 if you had run the original 2.71 downgrader idstoragechanger, or 6 if you had run the NOOBZ idstoragechanger from the 2.80 or the 3.03 downgraders. Since the legality of bundling keys is questionable, those keys don't come with KeyCleaner.

You can get keys from someone with a clean or fixed PSP, or by making the key with a hexeditor from the idstorage.txt file from harleyg. Note that key 0x43 is identified as 0x040 right after the USBstor header... a goof in the text. It starts at line 267.

Hmm... on pure 1.5, it might need to be kxploited. It's designed around being run from HEN, or from the custom firmware at the moment. You kxploit it by doing "make kxploit" instead of "make".

I've attached a kxploited version of 1.1. Give it a try and see if it works.

Thanks for the Kxploit Cilly, the program starts now but the program gives me an eror after the white PSP icon.

Uh, that's the NORMAL action of a PSP. Sony didn't want both the wifi and the charger heating the PSP at the same time. Something in the broken keys allows you to bypass that restriction, so you want to break the keys again. :biggrin:

I don't know what part of the keys controls that. If you want to experiment, dump your keys now that they are fixed as a nice backup. Then run the old idstoragechanger to break the keys. Then run KeyCleaner again with a copy of the backup keys you made, but with ONE of the keys (out of the list displayed by KeyCleaner) missing. Vary which one is missing until you find the one that "fixes" the wifi/battery issue. If you narrow it down that much, I may be able to make an app that switches the key to enable/disable that behavior.

Run keycleaner , fix with out files ,

When your done , it should tellyou key 6 is corrupt.


When you get to this point post again and let me know ... from here it is easy to get you sorted,

[magnetic strip]

Using my PSP1001 with TA-082 board I went from 2.60 -> 2.71 -> 1.5 (using a Dark_AleX easy downgrader with IDStorageChange) -> 3.40 OE-A. I have not run any other programs or made any changes. I havent run KeyCleaner yet. I wanna make sure it will work and that i know what i am doing first.

Which of my keys are changed by the path I took ? Is it possible to know for sure before i run KeyCleaner and know if will it work for me ?

I read the readme.txt and i want to know if KeyCleaner restore the original keys or does it basically make it good as new ? are there any problems it won't fix ? Finally where or how would I get a "dump on the memstick of the keys from a stock PSP". I do not have access to another PSP but I want to fully 100% fix any probs. If it is a legal issue can someone please give me the info via PM or something. I'm much obliged. Cheers for this great program.

run keycleaner , if it will , fix with oput files , post whats left (one key wont fix this way , then i can help ya)

[magnetic strip]

OK ! Thanks ! I will do that ASAP when i am not rushed and post my infos.

Quik question in the meantime .... if you restore the keys from mem-stick do you have the original keys or what ? and what is the difference if any ?

[XsavioR]

Repair with out files... will fix any key (that the infos are stored in other keys). And will indefinately leave you with one key remaining corrupted... 6 or .43

Fixing with files, if you have the right files is kinda the same
only you gotta eb carefull to get them from an identical psp.

Just try it out and let me know when yer done ... then i can figure out what key you still need and instruct you on making/aquireing it.

If you make a dump of the keys from a good psp that is (basically) the same as yours, they can be used to fix the keys on your psp. If their psp was downgraded the same way as yours, its keys won't be any better than the ones you already have. :biggrin:

You key 0x45 isn't set right. The region data we've seen for key 0x45s go like this:

PSP1000 = 03 00 01 00 (Japan)
PSP1001 = 00 00 01 00 (USA)
PSP1002 = 00 00 01 00 (Australia)
PSP1003 = 02 00 01 00 (HK, I think)
PSP1004 = 02 00 01 00 (UK)
PSP1006 = 02 00 01 00 (Europe)

As you can see, all key 0x45s known about have an 01 at the third byte, with the first byte controlling some aspect of the region. There no known (valid) key 0x45s that are cleared, and that is why v1.1 says your key state is unknown. I think in v1.2, I'll report the state as soft-downed with bad key 0x45 for a state like yours.

On the other hand, no problems are known to be associated with 0x45 not being "correct". If you wish to make your keys perfect, you could dump them, edit 0x0045.bin with a hex editor to match one of the above values, then write it back.

Yes, now it's fine. You're as close to original as you can get without a dump from your PSP before you started messing with it. :biggrin:

NEW DESCOVERY ALERT

Hey chilly, i just found something important out, as i said before, this app fixed my Wi-Fi problem among other stuff..

The thing is, i noticed that when I try to load images via USB, for example with PSP Host, I no longer have to use the drivers for my TA-082, I just treat my PSP as if it was a ta-079, with the original drivers that come with USB applications... great :D

thanks, yet again

You're welcome.

Yes, the USBHOSTFS issue was the very first thing the old 2.71 DG was known to break, and lead to the first fixer apps. There was USBHOSTFS-Fix, then RUK, then my own idreset which became KeyCleaner. If you didn't wish to run one of those, there were specially hacked versions of the USBHOSTFS drivers for the PC that allowed USBHOSTFS to work with the "broken" keys.

Hello,

I've psp 2.71 (it's a TA 082) Downgraded whith DA Downgrader 2.71 => 1.5, and now i'm in 3.40 OE-A and my psp can't be reconized by my PS3 in USB (it says "There's no PSP system connected")

Does key cleaner repair this trouble and fix it ?

If it's possible can you explain me how to make it ?

(Sorry for my poor english i'm french :biggrin: )

Thnx Very Much

KeyCleaner should be able to fix that for you (someone reported that it did for them, I don't have a PS3 to check personally). Read the rest of the thread to start with, then ask any other questions that weren't answered by reading the thread. Here's a small outline of what you should probably do:

1 - Run keyCleaner
2 - Choose Dump the keys (just in case). That gives you a copy of all the current keys in a folder called "keys" inside the KeyCleaner folder.
3 - Choose Fix without files. This should fix all the keys but 0x43.
4 - Acquire a good key 0x43 file from the net, a good PSP, a friend, etc.
5 - Make another folder in the KeyCleaner folder, let's call it "good keys".
6 - Copy that good key 0x43 file to that folder. Make sure the name is "0x0043.bin" or it won't be recognized.
7 - Run KeyCleaner and choose Fix with files. Hit O on the PSP until you see the name of the folder at the top (remember we named the folder "good keys" ). Press X to select the "good keys" folder. This will fix key 0x43.
8 - Choose Dump the keys again. This will then rename the original dump to "keys0000" and make a new dump of your now good keys into the "keys" folder.

For the original key 0x0043.bin, i'have to dump an psp TA 082 or i can dump any psp mother board? and any jap or US versions ? Because mine is a PSP TA 082 EURO with custom firmware 3.40 OE-A DA Installed.

Thnx

Ok I made a mistake.... I thought 3.40 somehow messed up the usbhosft fix and it didnt. So I ran this app:


I tried to fix them and it did (supposedly) and now when I get into my USB I get an system error but I can go thru my files on my mem card somehow. And if I exit USB MODE, I still see the "USB" thing banner on top of my screen. cant get rid of it until I reboot the psp. SO something is way to wrong. If I try to get into USB MODE a 2nd time I get this error:

An internal error has occurred
(80243101)

The odd thing is that even after getting the error Im able to 'browse' my files on mem stick, the only problem is that I need to reboot to get rid of the "USB CONNECTION"" banner on top..

I ran the app: and the Status of my Keys are:

Checking IdStorage Key 0x0004... Cleared Key - Okay
Checking IdStorage Key 0x0005... Unknown Status
Checking IdStorage Key 0x0006... Copy of Original Key 0x0005

HOW do I restore my keys??? I have never done this before.. any ideas?? I need to replace this faulty ones with new ones... How do I dump ORIGINALS? and how do I flash them???

Would someone provide me with their backup?? I have a US TA-082 PSP.

is it possible to fix it going back to 1.5 or reflashin 3.40 ?????

I wish people would put up the status of the keys from before they tried anything... I can't tell what was done from that status. It APPEARS that you tried "fix with files" while only using two valid keys. As such only two keys were fixed. That leaves the keys in a state that is unknown because who can predict someone trying to only fix two keys? :confused1:

I've seen people who dumped their keys, then chose "fix with files" using that dump... which is nothing but the keys as they already are... so nothing is fixed. :huh:

Ah well, I'll PM you and we'll see what we can do to get you straightened out.

By the way, upgrading or downgrading won't change the keys. So reinstalling 1.5 or 3.40 OE won't fix any keys.

@rico666: 0x43 is universal that I've seen, so you can take it from any PSP... except for one that has it bad like yours. :wink:

[bmccruz]

Hello!

First of all congrats 4 the great work!

I've a problem with my PSP and the battery when I have low battery like 10% and when I've hibernate the PSP I can't recovery the hibernation...

Could it be the keys? I've downgraded from 2.17 before the idstorage corruption free

Or could it be another issue?


Thanks alot

Thanks alot

I'll assume you meant 2.71. :wink: Yes, the low-battery issue is related to the keys and most people report it fixed after using KeyCleaner. I'd suggest using KeyCleaner. Be sure to make a dump of your keys as they are now as a backup! Do NOT try to use that dump to fix the keys! The dump is of your broken keys, so using it to fix the keys won't work. You'd be surprised at the number of people who try to fix their keys with a dump of those same broken keys. :biggrin: Not saying YOU will, just making a warning in general...

The normal procedure is to fix WITHOUT files. That usually fixes all but one key: 6 or 0x43. Then you get a good 6 or 0x43 from a good PSP, a friend, the net, aliens, whatever, then use that one key to fix the last key. In your case, if you used the original 2.71 DG (as you seem to imply), the key it'll leave broken after fix without files is key 0x43. Key 0x43 is used by the PS3 to connect to the PSP, and such things as Remote Play. Key 0x43 is one of the few "universal" keys... all 0x43 keys I've have seen are the same, from the TA-079 to the TA-086, so you can use a key 0x43 from any good PSP.

ok um lets just go right out and say it!

Im dumb!!!

Now that that is out of the way....I never used this before and ofcourse i rushed into it and after reading this thread relized i made a huuuge mistake! so hopefully you can help me.

I dumped my keys and for some reason chose to restore the same keys! i know now that that was stupid so i am in "Unrecognized key state" PSP is a TA-082/86... keys may need fixing
recommended action: restore keys from memstick

I no longer have the option to restore the keys w/o files. I am assuming im screwed, but the psp still works fine but ive been having ps3 recognizing problems so i thought i would give this a whirl. So i guess now that we established that im a complete moron, whats the best way about fixing it. I'm assuming a good dump from another psp but have been having trouble tryin to aquire that. So if there is someone who can help or possibly point me in the right direction or something that would be awesome.

Thanks for everything

[xfsasx]

ok well i tried using keys from a different psp and that was a no go but we werent sure if it was downgraded correctly since it was bought downgraded so it could of been the same corruption.

im really appreciative to the people that have helped me so far.

So for now my psp sits as follows:

0x0004... cleared key - okay
0x0005... unknown status
0x0006... copy of original key 0x0005
0x0008... no key (code 0x80000025)
0x0041... original key - okay
0x0042... cleared key - okay
0x0043... original key - okay
0x0045... oringal key - okay
0x0046... cleared key - okay
0x0047... original key -okay

PSP is a TA-082/86
Unrecognized key state


Everything works fine except connecting to the ps3 and psplink.

Thanks,
Vince

[Chilly Willy]

If you still have the original dump of the keys, you can write them back as they are with IdStorage Manager (in this forum). Then rerun KeyCleaner. :biggrin:

The next version of KeyCleaner will specifically disallow trying to fix the keys with the same keys. Seriously, I never thought ANYONE would be crazy enough to do that, but I've seen maybe a dozen people do it so far. :laugh:

[xfsasx]

i ran idstorage and "fixed" and "verified" the keys and everything looks good and passes but key cleaner is still saying unrecognized state and i need to fix with memstick keys.

I really wish i would of freaking read this forum before i jumped into it!

Please help me Chilly Willy i will owe you my soul....

aquire a key 6 from an identical psp, fix with backups. thats all.

What is the region of your psp (the psp-1000 code on the sticker)
and what kinda mb do you have?

[Chilly Willy]

If you're handy with a hex editor, it's easy enough to make a key 6 using this text file documenting the keys:

You need to fix WITHOUT files first. In your case, that will fix all but key 0x43. Once you have all but 0x43 fixed, THEN do fix with files with just key 0x43. You can get that from any good PSP (0x43 is one of the few universal keys - all models have the same 0x43), make one yourself via the id text file I linked above your post, or from begging people with PMs. :biggrin:

what is the different between Ta-086 and ta-086??

what is the different between Ta-086 and ta-086??

One has a capital "T" and the other doesn't.

[KQ_jai]

would it matter if i dont fix 0x0043?(battery problem)

[phynxz]

I need to fix 0x0043, now two of my friends both have a PSP one is a TA and the other is not there both running FW 3.40OE. so all i need to do is get one of them to backup there keys and send me that one right?? does it matter if its not a TA psp and mine is?

[Chilly Willy]

would it matter if i dont fix 0x0043?(battery problem)

I don't think 0x43 has any affect on the battery. That's mostly 4 and 6. From what I've had reports on, 0x43 is related to things like remote play.

[XsavioR]

lol yeah that was probably a typo

Thank you so much Chilly Willy! Your software rock the casbash.

Here is my story.

I was trying to connect the psp to the ps3 to register and it wouldn't work. Jump online and found Chilly Willy. I figure I could do this easily, so I went to work. 1st thing I did was dump the existing key in case I screw up. thank god I did that. of course I backed up the existing keys with the key on memstick first. GRR, then I ended up with the dreaded unrecognized state. had to get the idstoragemanager to rebuild my key and back to square one. Then I redid keycleaner with the auto fix. Fix them all with the exception of 43. I was hoping the ps3 would recognize the psp but hell no. I figure the reason why is the 43. So I decided to get ballsy and did the hexedit of 43 with the notes from HarleyG txt doc. It work beatifully. Now I am able to sync with the ps3 and I am having a blast.

thank you so much Chilly Willy!

I hope the 3.50 downgrader doesn't corrupt any more keys then it needs to. Time to get myself a silver psp :D, but updating it to 3.50 might be a problem, does it matter which region I upgrade it to (japanese or us?)

All PSP update reagons are the same exact update as of this time so no.

[Chilly Willy]

I checked the source with the 3.50 downgrader and it's fine. It's basically like my own and codes02's patches... changes one single byte in key 5.

[cyborger]

changes one single byte in key 5

It changes one byte but how is this change implemented? Is it reversible like yours Chilly Willy. You never know what may happen in the future. If not, can I use your existing IDSTORAGE changer in conjunction with the 3.5 Downgrader or should I wait for a completely reversible corruption free downgrader? In my opinion your patch set the standard for how to correctly corrupt idstorage key 5 for ta-082/086 downgrading. I'll hold off downgrading until I find out if the Noobz method of key 5 corruption is completely and easily reversible like yours.

Thanks to you, Noobz, Dark_Alex, Mathieulh, Codes02, Vadd, Squirrel, Stapol and everybody else who is working on PSP projects.

It's different from both mine and codes02's fixes, but similar as I said. It won't be any trouble to make reversible. I'll add recognizing it to the next rev of KC (working on that now).

Can you use the Keycleaner to change the idstoragekeys of a TA-082 PSP, so that the PSP can update past 3.30 Official FW again...? (I have a Japanese TA-082, so it might be tough for me)

Can you use the Keycleaner to change the idstoragekeys of a TA-082 PSP, so that the PSP can update past 3.30 Official FW again...? (I have a Japanese TA-082, so it might be tough for me)

No. KC is for making the keys as close to normal as possible, but still usable under OE. You can use the hidden feature of 1.5 Enabler to unpatch key 5 while in 2.71. That allows you to then go to 3.30+ official.

Hidden feature...? So you don't have to use KC at all, just the 1.5 enabler in the 2.71 downgrader? Would it still work if you downgraded from 3.50 to 1.50, then upgraded back to 2.71, then back to 1.5?

[ImmortalPhoenix]

Is it that option where you press square and undo the option of changing key 5...?

Hidden feature...? So you don't have to use KC at all, just the 1.5 enabler in the 2.71 downgrader? Would it still work if you downgraded from 3.50 to 1.50, then upgraded back to 2.71, then back to 1.5?

The hidden feature in 1.5 Enabler only undoes the patching if it's in MY format. So KC is needed to make sure the keys are good and key 5 is patched MY way. Only then will pressing SQUARE in 1.5 Enabler unpatch key 5.

You should be able to do this in anything that runs my software. Note that KC doesn't work in 1.5 (no idea why) nor in 3.03 HEN or 3.50 HEN (no idea why). They're probably related. KC works in 3.xx OE and in 2.71 HEN and 2.80 HEN. 1.5 Enabler is probably the same. I would probably run it all from 2.71 HEN or 2.80 HEN if I were doing all this. Then go from there to official Sony 3.30+.

Ok thanks for the reponse, you have some awesome software for the PSP....you've helped me and my cousin out a lot! (My cousin was the one that needed to restore his PSP on OFW, unfortunately)

Hello, I sorry but if that has been asked before.. I want to know how I can revert back to original firmware once it has been downgraded using the noobz 3.50 downgrader.

I have checked out the readme for KeyCleaner and I am still confused with all these idstorage keys. Can someone list out the steps I would need to return to original firmware from a patched PSP (TA-86)? For example Original 3.50 (Noobz downgrade) ->1.5-> 3.40 OE -> 1.5 -> Original 3.50

Thanks

What does the current KC 1.1 say is the state of the keys for a 3.50 DG PSP? Without knowing that, the procedure would be more convoluted.

You have to have a backup of your idstorage keys if you want to go back to official fw. If you don't, you need to get them from a TA-86 untainted PSP. Also you have to restore them while in a HEN under 2.71 or 2.80 because restoring them under 1.50 will brick.

Hi Chilly,

Please tell me how to get back to official Sony firmware. If I can upgrade my PSP to Sony official firmware 3.50 then I can downgrade it to 1.50 again and upgrade it to 3.11 custom firmware according to NOOBZ. I did this for my nephew's PSP (official Sony firmware 3.50) and it worked beautifully.

I started with 2.60 official sony firmware, downgraded to 1.50 and somehow it updated itself to 2.71 when my son played some homebrews. I run HEND before running homebrew games.

The following are my keys after running Key Cleaner 1.1:

0x0004 original key okay
0x0005 original key okay
0x0006 original key okay
0x0008 no key (code 0x80000025)
0x0041 original key okay

From the looks of it you don't have to run KeyCleaner. Since you're on 2.71 just run the downgrader available here (http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=563). It's the corruption-free version.

Hi guys, I already posted here regarding my USA ta-082 PSP in which I used KC and it worked flawlessly, great app this is.

Anyways, I now have a japanese Champagne Gold PSP, downgraded from 3.50 and currently running 3.40OE-A. I ran KC and it patched key 0x0005, so now it says:

---------------------------------------
0x0004 original key - okay
0x0005 patched key - okay
0x0006 original key - okay
0x0008 original key - okay
0x0041 original key - okay
0x0042 cleared key - okay
0x0043 original key - okay
0x0045 original key - okay
0x0046 cleared key - okay
0x0047 original key - okay

PSP is a TA-082/86

Key State: Chilly Willy soft-downed TA-082/86
---------------------------------------

Is my key state OK?

Now I have the 12% battery problem :( However, I didn't check if i had that problem before I ran KC so I dont know... That seems to be the only problem I'm experimenting, what else should I test?

Also, how do I restore the keys I previously had before running KC? Btw I did make a dump of them and still have it.

Thanks.

[Chilly Willy]

The keys are fine, and only key 6 affects that battery problem you mention. It's more likely a settings issue. You should reset the settings to default, then discharge/recharge the battery.

[TuncaCeleste]

okay thanks for your response, I'll try that.

By the way, I can just delete flash1 right? I mean, to completely reset all the settings.

[Chilly Willy]

okay thanks for your response, I'll try that.

By the way, I can just delete flash1 right? I mean, to completely reset all the settings.

I believe that's correct. If I remember correctly, it's the config.se file in flash1 that you specifically need to delete. Don't TOUCH flash0! That's how you brick. :crying: :biggrin:

[TuncaCeleste]

Resetting the settings did the trick, thanks a lot, now I can turn the psp on even with less than 12% charge!

I think I start understanding most of the lingo ;-), but what is "IPL"?

[Chilly Willy]

In the original post:

Initial Program Loader. It's the hardcoded part of the startup that can't be changed and loads the rest of the kernel init code from flash.

[Casey44]

Additional: "Hardcoded" really hard? So, a part that transfers control TO the Flash0? Or the first entrypoint IN the Flash0 that first gets control? (so a bit less hard, but maybe never to be changed)
Because you implicitly call it "IPL Version 1.5".

Sorry if not relevant for end-user, but I try to get a grip on the normal workings of the PSP. Hard to find descriptions :-(

I'm not 100% sure on how the PSP handles the IPL, if it's in the flash or in ROM in the CPU like many modern consoles. It's not something I've had to deal with, so I haven't bothered looking into it. You'd be best to check the forum at lan.sh if you really want info that deep about the PSP. That's where I get most of my info on the PSP from.

Hi Chilly

I've been reading the whole posts here but Im still unsure (or hard to swallow). :P

I got this msg on my Silver PSP-1000:

04 cleared key - ok
05 copy of original key 0x0004
06 copy of original key 0x0005
08 no key (code 0x80000025)
41 original key - ok
42 copy of original key 0x0041
43 original key - ok
45 copy of original key 0x0047
46 copy of original key 0x0045
47 no key (code 0x80000025)

PSP is TA-082/86
Unrecognized key state

I tried to fix without keys but it wont allow me & saying sumthin that i need keys.

Now to restore the keys, I need to put a original keys from fresh PSP right? Should I copy ALL keys to MS or just the keys shown above 04, 05, 06, 08, 41, 42, 43, 45, 46, 47?

And are there any particular CRCs of the keys I need to watch for?
I ask help from 2 different guy for their dumps. Couple keys arent the same. I believe both dump came from TA-082. The 1st one I cannot be sure (forgot) & 2nd is definetly from a TA-082/2.71fw.

(1st dump) - (2nd dump)
04.bin DFB50041 - same
05.bin B1009223 - same
06.bin EC25D704 - 45A4AC1A
08.bin not found
41.bin 2D278CA3 - same
42.bin B2AA7578 - same
43.bin 55E26FF6 - same

46.bin B2AA7578 - same (this is also the same with 42)
47.bin 214E7710 - same

Btw, the USB is working on my PSP but not the brightness, which is reversed. Dunno abt the battery problem yet, or any other thing for that matter. Havent use much this new Silver PSP, I also got a Black non TA-082.

I can't tell anything from the CRCs you posted. Give me a KC status table for that other PSP. Your Silver PSP is a hard-downed PSP. It's the same as the 2.71 soft-downed, but also kills key 0x47. You can fix all the keys except for 0x47 by doing fix with files and a set of GOOD keys from a TA-082. I can't tell if that second PSP has good keys as you didn't post the KC status.

The reverse brightness is due to a change in the PSP LCD module for newer TA-082's and nearly all TA-086's. That was compensated for by adding some new display libs and an extra key (key 8 ). The 3.52 M33 custom firmware is supposed to have a fix for that in it. Older custom firmwares require you to write some display libs into the flash and alter some files. It's a pain, so most folks shouldn't bother.

[Nocuddle]

Sorry I cant give you the KC status of 1st & 2nd dumps. They arent mine, I got it from some1 else on the net. The 1st dump actually from TA-079. So then technically I cant use this for safety reason right?

When you said 47 is killed is it really bad thing? You are scaring me. +_+;

I think I might go crazy (suicidal) mode. I may just copy the 2nd dump keys (from other guy's TA-082/2.71) onto MS & try fix from there. If it goes brick, can it be restored by simply doing the "recovery"? My Silver is on 3.03 OE-C.

Btw, is new KC gonna come out soon?
Thanks for ur s/w & help. :)

Actually, in "fix with files", KC steps through each folder telling you the status of the keys inside it. You could have used that on the keys you got to find their statuses.

No, TA-079 keys in general can't be used on a TA-082/86. One or two are the same, but most aren't.

You seem to have missed the "copy of original key 4" that was in key 5 to fix key 4. Other than that, you seem to have cleared up the keys pretty well. You really need to fix key 4 - some of the oddball problems people have are related to a bad key 4. If you still have a dump of that key 5 (0x0005.bin), rename it to 0x0004.bin and try fix with files again.

I haven't quite finished v1.2 of KC yet... real life intruding recently and all. I'm still working on it, so don't be surprised if it pops up one of these days. :smile:

Aha.

Thanks again for ur help. I fixed 04 keys & now it says Key State: Chilly Willy soft-downed TA-082/86.
I feel much more safer now. ^____^

What abt 42 & 46 showing "cleared", are they ok to leave it like that?
Also what abt 05 too, it say patched. And 47 just leave it?

Looking foward from ur new update. :)

0x42 and 0x46 are supposed to be cleared, and if 5 says "patched" it means it a regular key 5 with my or codes02's patch applied (I'll add NOOBZ 3.50 patch to the next rev). Leave 0x47 until the next revision of KC comes out. It should be able to fix it for you. You don't need to worry about it much - I don't know of any problems linked to key 0x47.
