Today, Sony has released a their patch 3.21 which has unfortunately removed the "Other OS" function due to security issues, which you probably know as GeoHotz hypervisor hack. GeoHotz responded by saying not to update your firmware, and someone on another forum posted a method so that an update is not needed. And this is the process:
- Go onto the XMB on the start up screen.
- Go to Network Settings and select Internet Connection Settings.
- Click Custom > [any option] > [any option] > Manual.
- For you IP address, you may want to go to your router webpage to find out this remaining info, but for the primary DNS you need to put 67.202.81.137 which should trick the PS3 into thinking you're fully updated.
- Choose your settings from here on.
Now you should be able to sign in and play games.
This is how the hack was done:

And there you have it. There is a minor downfall though. Some discs may become unreadable without this firmware but I can only see that happening with future games and my guess is that GeoHotz will find something revolutionary before that point anyway.

Do a barrel roll!
I would've done it if it wasn't for that last line:
"Some discs may become unreadable without this firmware but I can only see that happening with future games and my guess is that GeoHotz will find something revolutionary before that point anyway."
Yeah, I'm not risking shit ass hacks over games.

Your current discs will be fine, and when I saw unreadable I mean that they may make future games so they can't be played without this firmware, I guess it was a bad choice of wording.

we'd have to system restore and then do this to mod our firmware.
Thats if you can even do this bypass before 3.00 update, otherwise your screwed completly.
OP: i already updated even though i seen this on another forum, as tbh nothing is ever gonna come from Geohot's hack, and even if it does its not gonna happen ANY time soon.

I think system restore puts it to the version that it had in the store.
