As of the ongoing project I'm working on, I'd like to try to add comments and documentation here, in the hope that it will help anyone who would like to work on his own project.
Current project source code can be found on Github: NOR-Dump-Tool
First it deserves to be given credit to all the wiki contributors as this would not exist without any of them.
The code itself is designed to be portable on many platforms, it is as today a one man project so slow and not well optimized.
It has no aim to teach anything to anyone but only to show an example of what can be done from open information available on the wiki. Anyhow it's aimed to always evolve and is not guaranty to be out of any bug.
It is solely design to read NOR dumps, hopefully a NAND project can easily (as in easier than from scratch) be made based on this one. It can help to validate, but it is not a 100% guaranty that a dump has no issues. It can help to read parts of a dump or any other kind of manipulation not dedicated to specifically validate a dump.
There is no option to reverse a dump but it should now automatically manage both bytes order as it read a dump.
Usage and examples:
| Command line option | Description |
|---|---|
| -P | Give percentage of bytes |
| -G | Check PS3 Generic information |
| -C | Check and display perconsole information |
| -f | Check areas filled with '00' or 'FF' |
| -F | Check Firmware information (ros0/1 + trvk) |
| -N | Check areas containing data in opposition to -F option |
| -S FolderName | Split some NOR section to folder 'FolderName' |
| -M Start Size | Run MD5 sum on file from 'Start' for 'Size' long |
| -E FileName Start Size | Extract specific NOR Section from 'Start' for 'Size' long |
| -D Start Size H/A | Display a specific NOR Section from 'Start' for 'Size' long, use H or A for HEX or ASCII |
Checking a Dump is done by running the app with only the dump file name as an input. By default it uses options -P -G -C -f -F -N and -R Below is described a short list of what is a dump validation coverage:
| http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Validating_flash_dumps | NOR Dump Tool | Command line example | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Statistical analysis | Done | NORDumpTool dumpfilename.bin -P | |
| Bytereversed | Done | none | automatic |
| Only zeroes | Done | NORDumpTool dumpfilename.bin -f | |
| patterned non zeroes / patterned non ff's | Done | NORDumpTool dumpfilename.bin -N | |
| patterned FF's | Done | NORDumpTool dumpfilename.bin -f | |
| malformed headers / filenames / regionnames | Done | NORDumpTool dumpfilename.bin | done via different sub routine, should be fully covered when launching all tests |
| absent files /regions | Done | NORDumpTool dumpfilename.bin | done via different sub routine, should be fully covered when launching all tests |
| malformed files /regions | Done | NORDumpTool dumpfilename.bin | done via different sub routine, should be fully covered when launching all tests |
| Repetitions | Done | NORDumpTool dumpfilename.bin -R | May be improved as it does not cover all repeated addreses but only one in order to identify a stuck address line |
| Check metldr+bootldr sizes | Done | NORDumpTool dumpfilename.bin -C |
What if you just want to read some information specific to your console!? run the command:
$ ./NORDumpTool NORDumpFileName.bin -C
the output should be similar to this:

Data found in NOR to identify the SKU are:
TargetID | metldr | bootldr
TargetID | Offset0 | Offset1 | Offset0 | Offset1
08 E8D0 0E89 2EB3 2EB3
PS3 SKU : CECHLxx (VER-001) minimum FW : 2.45 (item 29 in list)
No problem found in the Per Console Data, anyway remain careful!
