0okm has just released instructions enabling developers to make kernel mode applications in Firmwares 2.5/6 which would run using the eLoader. In case anyone's wondering, we did have kernel mode access on those firmwares, but it could only be done using HitchHikr's exploit in the GTA game.
Although the instructions themselves are nothing more than a small piece of code, it's very obvious that it's very useful for all the people in the community. Firstly, you don't need to wait for GTA to load up. Secondly, this is a big boon for all those who're stuck with a patched UMD, or do not have one.
Surprisingly, the instructions are very easy for even the most "noobiest" of programmers:
main.c
add line extern void kernel_ent(u32 Temp);
and write Kernel access in a function
use kernel_ent((u32) &your_function) to call it
Makefile
in line OBJS add kernel_ex.o
in line LIBS add -lpspvshbridge
0okm has also ported the original proof-of-concept which demonstrated kernel mode access on the 2.5/6 GTA exploit. Further, he has also bundled the source, so that all you budding programmers can have a look at it. Also thanks to Jordan in #noobzOT for the heads-up!
