If your PS3 has firmware 3.30 or above you can't do the lobby.
After reading another 3000 page's LOL I found this quote from the Unkn0wn...



After thinking about it a while I though maybe just maybe you need this to do the hack?

Get the data from the 3.30 or below, Decrypt it and do the editing you need to do.
Now put the data back onto your PS3 with firmware 3.30.

In settings > system > Transfer data.
You can send data from one PS3 to another.
So send this from the firmware 3.30 to another PS3 with the latest firmware so you can go online.

That's just my theory.
Hate it or love it, But don't forget I may be wrong !

with linux on a ps3 ,you can have access to ps3 partition.
just dl the patch on a 3.40 fw ,transfert all data to 3.15 ,edit it on linux,transfert to 3.40 ,play

Checksums are always bypassable.

Well no matter what, even if their method of hacking got patched long ago, somebody's going to end up finding a new way.

could it be taht easy, thats a posibelity isnt it????

I don't think you need to do the highlighted part

I believe you need it all edited on the 3.15 first

I think data transfer utility was added on the 3.21 update... and not only that but the PS3s have to be on the same firmware to use data transfer utility

Hunter posted on PS3News asking how to find dummy files on 3.30 because *he needed 3.30 to play online*, that might be one way transfering HDD's but it's possible on 3.30.

thanks you just cleared that up, so many rumors hard to believe

I respect Unknown but I wouldn't trust him about this , IMO.

i guess im not upgrading
